ed to see. | He had come up a little way out. from his house and that was thei first thing he saw. He had planned; to climb up on the roof. a splendid‘ place from which to look all over his pond and the surrounding i shore, Now -as he looked up on‘ that roof he had a complete change of mind. Yes sir, he had‘ a complete. change of mind. In- stead of climbing up on that roof he came very near diving and going back inside his house. You see, there was some one already on that roof, some one with a. tail so short that it. was hardly worthy of being called a tail; some one with ears from each of which stood up a tuft of long hair; some one from whom all his life Paddy had had to watch for and whom he was most. afraid because of his salted-footed stealth. It was Tufty the Lynx, own oousin to Yo\vler the Bobcat, Tufty was crouched on the very top of the house. his stubby tail twitching. He looked down at Paddy and there was no fierceness in those greenish-yellow eyes. In~ stead there was a look very like fright and worry. All the usual fierceness was gone from Tufty the Lynx. Paddy had the strange feeling that should he climb out on that roof beside Tufty he would be in no danger whatever, However he had no idea of _trylng it. In- stead he swam over to his dam and climbed out on that. He closed his eyes and slowly opened them again for it had seemed to him that he must be dreaming, and the dream was a. bad one, the worst he ever had known. But when he opened his eyes again he knew that this was no dream but something real and worse than any dream could be. Here was a new world. That is how it seemed anyway. Instead of the lovely world of greens and browns and yellows and reds that he had so often looked at from this very place on his dam, and that he so dearly loved. he now saw only a black world with no living green thing beyond the water's edge. What so short a time before had been beautiful green trees were black masts os mese stumps. still smoking. Only the pond, the brook entering and leaving it, the house ln it and the dam on which he was sitting remained at all as they

A SUBTLE POINT

A subtle bidding point. 03°" overlooked even by 800d Players- was involved in the deal Show" below.

iWaat dealer. _Bol.h sides vulnerablg

The bidding: West North asur 1 Q Dble. Pass Pass Pass Pass

South 1' s

South made only four clubs, but his side could have made three notrump Just as easily, East deserved a good mark for his part in keeping the opponents out of game! This may seem a re- markable statement in view of the fact that East did nothing but pass; nevertheless. the statement can be barked up with a sound argument. What we must consider is: what would have happened i! East had bid as so many players do bid, that is, if he had tried the mild shut-out oi’ a two-heart bid directly over the takeout double?

This is s common practice—but consider the outcome in a case such as this. When East passed South's two-club response was Bnythlng but encouraging to his partner; but ii’ East had bid two hearts South certainly would have overcalled with three clubs on his seven-card suit, and then, encour- aged by that free action North surely would have ventured to three notrump. A very aggressive South might have jumped to three clubs over East's pass, but this was s questionable action, and at least East did not force an opponent in- to what would have been a suc- seccful bid,

It is subtle points like these that have far-reaching implications in bridge.
