Beginning tomorrow. The Guardian will carry a new serial, "TABLE TOP” by English novelist Eden Phiilpotts. It tells of the spirit of adventure in three young people who go in quest of a treasure to which they have received an indubitable clue. A 70-year-old talking bird has been entrusted with the essential instructions to the discovery of a treasure which the Incas concealed at the time of the Spanish conquest. You can read what happens i.o the youths and the

would disappear.

"I thought I knew all about wot-ms. especially worms of this kind. but I guess I don't." said Peter.

"I guess you don't either," said Mrs. Peter. "I guess nobody knows everything about anything."

The worm was almost out of sight In the ground. In s moment or two it would disappear. Peter tipped his head back and looked up at a dark cloud that had been passing overhead "I still don't see how that worm ever (of. way up in that cloud." said Peter to no' one in particular.

”It must be a wormy cloud." said Mrs. Peter. "You know it wasn't the only worm that fell from it." "But how could B. cloud bs wnrmy? I wish somebody would tell me that. I know those worm! fell out of the sky, so they must have fallen from that cloud. I know it, because I saw it happen. Yet. even now it is really hard work to believe it,” declared Peter.

Now at about the same time, Farmer Brown's Boy was at work over near the barn. There was a shed attached to the barn. Rain began to fall. Farmer Brown's Boy kept right on working. with work to do he didn't mind It little wei- timz. and at first this was a light rain. Presently it came down liti rd- cr. and then Farmer Brown's Boy sought shelter in the shed. The water ran down the shed roof. and dripped off the t-dsze, As Form- er Brown's Boy stood just inside

watching it drip from the roof something brown rolled off the edge of the roof and dropped just in front of him. He looked down at it. He blinked. That was an earthworm.

”Now how in the world could an Earthworm have been up on that roof? I wonder if s bird fly- ing over dropped it." muttered Farmer Brown's Boy.

Just then another worm rolled off the roof and fell to the ground A little to one side. And. then he saw one that seemed to come right down in the rain: it didn't come from the roof at all.

"If I didn't know better. I would iliink it is raininx wonms,” said Farmer Browns Boy. "Come to think of it, I have heard that such xi thing does happen some- time. but I've never believed it."

Despite the rain he went ouside now where he could get a look at the roof of the shed. At once he saw I worm crawling on the roof. Then over on the other end of the roof he saw mother.

"There couldn't have been I flock of birds tzoingbver and drop- ping worms. No, sir, that couldn't have happened. one bird might drop a worm. but not ll whole flock." He looked up at the dark cloud overhead. The raindrops spattered on his upturned face, and then s small worm hit him on

y Farmer Brown's Boy chuckled as he ran back-into the shed. As he did he said just what Mrs. Peter Rabbit had said. "That must be a i woi-my cloud." said he, and chuckl- ted again.

3 Later he told Mother Brown in- bout it in the house. "You've been i dieaming.” declared Mother Brown. .”who ever heard of worms raining lfrom the sky."

I "I've read of it. but never be- lieved it. Now I do.” replied Tom- my. He grinned M his mother. I suppose that somewhere I lot of worms were out on the ground. and I small tornado wind came along and whipped them up, and they got carried along in ll fast. .moving raincioud until they got lhere. It is said the same thing happens with tiny toads sometimes. I didn't believe it. when I read it. bul. now I do."

There was no one to tell Peter Rabbit and Mrs. Peter how it hap- pened. and they have believed ever isinee that that was it wormy cloud.

"TRUMP SUPPORT" I! A szmnvs ram

There has been so much hsr n; on four-card trump support in some qulrters that many easily influenced players have come Ito accept the "four-card support" idea as gospel. The result. is. of course, that myraid sound contracts are not reached.

Take the following for example. How many players would emulate the excellent bidding move made by North on the second round!

The bidding: North East 1 9 Dble. 45 Pus Pan , Pass

North did not ska his leap to four spades wimout thinking: as A matter of fact iaccordinl to his own postmortem statement) hr toyed with the idea of bidding only three spades But he felt that South might be too weak to set on even the double raise and yet be strong enough dlstributlonnliy to have 7! good play for game. so North ac- cepted the responsibility. himself - something that too few of the better players are willing to do.

Analysis reveals that North's decision was logical. South's bid over the takeout double was the announcement that he couldn't stand a one-diamond contract and. though the one spade was anything but ll strong call, North knew that South would not have offered to play s. spade contract 'on less than a five-card suit. queen-jack high. or s. six-card suit. In the former case, South would probably have another honor card of some value outside of spades and. if he had six or more spades, he wouldntt need my outside strength.

The play required only ordinary bridge intelligence on South's part. West opened the heart king and soundly led a second round, ruf- ting down the dummy. After ti-umping with the spade ten. South cashed the diamond ace and ruffed in diamond, then led to the spade king and took the precaution of ruifing another diamond with the spade queen. as he could afford to do. Now he simply led to the spade ace and discarded his last heart on s stood diamond while East was ruffing with the jack. South was now safe against any attack.
