-Old Mother Nature.

Little Toad was a very small Toad to be out in the Great World a- lone. I-la had been born in the smil- ing Pool. Now he was up in Far- mor Brown's hen yard. and that was no piece for such a small Toad to be. He didn't. know that. He never had been there before. He shouldn't have been there now. He was there because he was too ven- turesorne. He had gone too far from his home under a big board in the

He had become tired and sleepy at the far end oi the garden. had gone to sleep there instead of go- ing home. and when he awoke, it was breed daylight. He was close to the fence between the . d and the hen yard. He had crept un- der the fence. and now here he was in a strange place; not in the least like the garden he had be- come so used. to.

!'or a while he just set still star- ed. No green things were growing here. there was lust bare ground. Over on the farther side were some giant feathered folk. Until then. Blacky the Crow was the largest of the feathered folk he had. even seen. There he was seeing now were very much bigger then Blacky. And they were such strange fea- thered folk. They ran about in the easiest way.

They never used their wings. Now and then one would scratch in the earth and pick up something. Lit- tle Toad. Just stared end stared. He quits forgot were he was. He quite forgot the good advice Old Mr. Toad had given him. He quite far- got these could be such a thing as danger. It didn't enter his head

might possibly be too interested in I. little Toad.

Little Toad so far forgot himself that he made a few hope toward those Hens that he might see them better. Now as long as he had set perfectly still they had not seen him. But when he hopped away from the fence one of those hens spied him. For a wee moment that old speckled Hen stood perfectly still staring at Litie Toad. Little Toad eat still and stared back.

He began to feel uncomfortable. He had a funny feeling in the pit of his stomach. It wasn't the reel- ing of hunger this time. It wasn't that he had eaten too much that

Now in that hen yard there was .a tub of water set in the ground. Partner Brown's Boy hsd put it there end kept it filled for the use of some Ducklings he was raising. They didn't have to have water to swim in. of course not. But he thought it was only fair that those little web-footed folk should have 9. chance to use their webbed feet. He liked to watch them paddling a- bout and ducking their heads un-

Another hop. and another, and he landed with a splash right in the water. It was a question who was the more surprised. Little Toad or the speckled Hen. The speckled Hen stopped right at the edge of the water. Little Toad didn't stop until he got right at the very mid- dle of that tub. How lucky it was that he could swim. It wasn't for nothing that he had been born in the water.

Give the South hand below to any lees-than-expert player and tell him to try for nine tricks et notnimp. and it is safe in prophesy that he will fall into the same error that trapped the actual declerer.

West made his natural opening lead. the spade queen. and after the merest glance at dummy. declar- er went right out to establish the diamond suit, letting the ten-spot ride for s finesse. East took the trick and returned a. spade, and from that point on. South was doomed to defeat? He could win only four. diamond tricks. two spades and two hearts.

It was obvious that because the combined diamond suit was so very much better than the combined club suit. south gave no thought to the possible virtue of.ieading clubs immediately. but good no- trump technique does not always
