Jimmy Skunk was minding his IWI1 business when a. strange Dog zame along and started to attack aim. Jimmy always does mind his pwn business. And because this is hf---?-mm?

true, he expects everyone else to mind their own. People who med- dle in the business of other people are likely to regret it. That Dog was regretting that'he had not minded his own business and kept away from Jimmy Skunk. He was regretting it aloud with yelps and whines, and little choking coughs. He was rubbing his face on he ground. For a few minutes he was blind. and all the time he didn't know what had happened. He knew it had to do with this not too big stranger in the black coat with white stripe. But Just what, he didn't know. He knew he hadn't gotten near enough :for that. And there was a terrible smell. It filled the air. It strangled and chocked him. And the smart- lng of his eyes had something to do with this.

As soon as he could see again, he put his tail between his legs and sneaked away. Every few steps he stopped to rub his lace with this

wasn't politl. He is bigger an Jimmy skunk. and he thought he could shake Jimmy skunk to death. You have seen what happened. Jimmy was prepared. Jimmy al- ways is prepared. He doesn't go looking for trouble, but he is all- wan; prepared to meet it if it comes his way. People who are al- ways prepared for trouble, seldom have trouble." .

"But when is it he does. and how does he do it?” cried the little Fox.

"He carries a'Ilttle bag oi! scent. Don't you smell it?" Reddy grinn- ed as he asked this.

Little Too-Smart made a wry face. There would have had to be something very, very wrong with his nose had he not smelled it. He wrinkled his nose. ”I don't lllie it." said he.

"But why should just a bad smell make that Dog cry and rub his face so, as if he were hurt," persisted the little Fox.

"That scent is more than just a bad smell. It is sort of a. fine mist that Jimmy throws and if it gets in anyone's eyes it makes thsm smart.”

"Have you ever had any in your eyes?" asked his small son.

Reddy looked as lflhe felt a. wee bit foolish. He grinned ruiefully. "Yes," said he. "it was a. long time ago when I was not much older or bigger than you. I learned the hard way what you have had a chance to learn without unpleasntness or discomfort."

"Were you impolite?" asked the little Fox.

Reddy chuckled again. i'Yes," he admitted. "Yes, I was impolite. But I have been polite ever since. so Jimmy and I really are very good friends. As I hgve already told you it pays to be polite. That Dog probably will be polite if he meets Jimmy Skunk again, or one of his family."

"Does he throw that scent with his tail?" asked Little Too-Smart. '1'tIi' he doesn't, how does he threw

would have been a much better contract, in fact, easily makeable agalnst,a.ny defence. but South, with two or three stoppers in each suit outside of spades, could not be blamed ver,v much for feeling that three notrump would be sate.

West opened the heart jack. East followed suit with seven-spot, and dieclarer ducked. West continued with hearts and now of course East had to play his queen. South could have straightened out mat- ters for the deienders by winning this trick, but he was not that accommodating; he ducked again. and from that point. on, succeufui defense win out of the question. East, forced to shift, led a. diamond, but dcclarer's queen of course held, and the following play knocked out one of West's high spades. South had every suit under excel- lent control, and ended up by ios-i lng only two hearts and two spades.

This, of course, is scarcely a. hand for advanced players. because they will see at a. glance that East ruin- ed the defence by failing to make the proper play at the first trick. That proper play was, obviously, to overtake the heart Jack with the queen so as to avoid any chance of blocking West. It is evident en- ough that with Wcst making that correct first play. declarer would be helpless. It he ducked the first trick. East would of course return a heazrt. and West could keep pounding at his long suit. This marked defense would hold south to two heart tricks, three dia-

monds and three clubs - he could not win a single spade trick,
