Mother Nature's. There are many iolks who can do certain things that other talks cannot do, no mat- ter how they try. When one can do something easily, another has no cause to feel any sense oi shame whatever because he cannot do it. It is quite likely that he can do something the other cannot do. Young Too-Sinart really was smart. For a young Fox Just start- ing out in the Great World. he really was doing very well indeed. He learned fast. and he remem- bered what he learned.

He had just learned a most im- portant lesson. It was that there is nothing more ioolish than to state positively that a thing can or cannot be so. unless one actually knows. He had stated that taxes cannot climb, and e had believed it. Then he had seen Cousin Gray. who is sometimes called the Tree Fox. climb a tree easily. He was up in 8. tree right now. and seem- ed quite at home there. He was high rnough to look over. some liiislies and young trees to the pas- iurcs and iields beyond. A dog was chasing someone there. He could see that dog now and then as he ran in and out among the bushes, ....?...nn..st.

WRONG FRAME OF MIND

It was probably because South was so annoyed by his partner's bidding in the following deal that he "iluiicd" the play of the con- tract.

North decked... Both sides vulnerable. North-south so on score.

srort-I. inasmuch as South had

shown no real signs or strength. but in all Isimess North had a hand that was hard to bid. His enormous high-card count demand- cd something pretty vigorous; in iiict he wasn't far short of an original two-diamond opening. Wcst decided to lead his single- ton diamond. Dummy won with the iice and the lone trump see was cashed; then declarer played the other diamond honor, intending to riiit a third round of the suit for entry to the closed hand. This idea did not work out so well when West ruiied first, wiping out the diamond king.

West. i-xilcd with s. low heart, rind in desperation South let the lead ndesround his own jack. East put. up the queen and ,return- ed in high dianiond. There was no coping with this defense. and the final result was down two.

Granting that a lower contract would have been more comfortable, South still could have made the actual contract by more astute play. After cashing the spsde ace, why not leave the diamond king alone and try to set up it club trick? ob- serve that it south leads ace and tirinthcr club, East's diamond ra- iurn has no sting. West can ruff. it he likes, but the diamond king is still in dummy for iuture use. The most that South can lose by this line of play is two spades and is club.

crossed An open field. He couldn't see who was being chased. but he felt sure it was another (ox. Presently, the sound 0! the hunt died away in the distance. Cousin Gray came down to the

ground. He came down easily. It was very clear to his young cousin down below, that he was very much at home in trees, and had done this thing often.

"I'm sorry I doubted that you could climb," said the young Red Fox Is Cousin Gray jumped to the ground.

"Our branch of the iamiiy have always been climbers." replied Cou- sin Gray. "Your branch at the iamily have always been famous for running. and for clever tricks. but never have done much at any climbing."

"It must be nice to (eel at home in a. tree," said his young cousin somewhat wistiully. "Do you ever go high?"

"otten," replied Cousin Gray. "I like to go way up where I can take is sun-bath, yet not be seen lrom down below. I do that once in a while."

"of course, when you are used to it, I suppose it is quite easy to climb from limb to limb all the way up." said his young cousin. Cousin Gray nodded. "It's easy." said he, "There's nothing to it as long as you are not afraid. It is an easy way to fool dogs. When I'm chased by A dog I sometimes run a little, but I don't like run- ning tar. Then I just climb a tree. It's the easiest way in the world to get rid of a dog."

"But supposing the trees haven't. any branches way down near the ground?" said Young Too-Smart. "What good would the trees do you then?" "Oh, I would find one I could climb. That wouldn't worry me," replied Cousin Gray carelessly. "But you have no claws to dig into the bark. You can't dig your toenails in any more than I can mine," protested his young cousin. Gray Fox grinned. "I don't have to have claws to clinth such a tree. I dont' need claws." The young iox thought this over. How could his cousin climb the trunk of a tree bore of branches. He was stumped. "You'll have to
