It happened that early one morn- ing Mother Lighlzfoot was leading the way along an old road through the Green Forest. It wound in and out among the trees. It was I. mad Very seldom used. Now it happened that a boy had chosen to go fishing that morning He was up heiore daylight. and sinrted for a certain pond deep in the Green Forest. That old road led nearly to that pond. He was trlldginig along. dreaming. as all fisherman dream. of the fish he would catch, But at at the same time he was using his eyes. as all izood wnodamen do.

The rising sun was just creeping in through the trees. Just amend. and off at one s.de of the road. were

the upturned roots of A tree that had been blown over long airo. Just back of t-lizs the ground seemed to be spotted with white. The boy. first thOli;,'lli W35 that 3. group off small white flowers were growing; there. He turned aside to have zil closer look at them, and right thoni he discovered that those white spots were not Now:-rs at all.

For a moment the boy blinked. Then his keen eye: made out the form or a baby Deer, lying down on the ground with head and neck stretched out. her coat almost the color of the surrounding brown leaves. hut spotted with white, the spots that had Callgiht his attention. The boy stood still. He looked in rail directions. There was no sign of Mother Deer. The pretty little fawn lying there didn't move. She seemed to be holding her breath. She was frightened. She was ter- ribly frightened. She never before had seen a boy or 8. man. But Mother had tauziit her that in time of danger, when she was sure that she hadn't been seen, she must lie pPl'iFCb1)l quier If she did tins perhaps she wouldn't be seen. Wee Spotty had once more forgotten to keep her eyes on mother'stail.and In had dropped 'way behind. But she hadn't forgotten tfiiat most im- portant lesson or keeping still. Did this terrible two-legged person see her now? she didn't know. She had heard him coming along the road. and had flattened herseiif on iihe ground behind that upturned root hefore hehnd come in sight. It had been the thing to do. But. oh, how

she wished she hadn't forgotten to

If West had made the orthodox lead of lizn fourth-hizliest club he would have given declarer two easy cluib tricks. but West actiutlily de- cided to open the "ten of spades. The queen was played from dummy. and wlieii East covered, deciarer ducked East returned the suit. which was the correct move at this stage.

Winning with lone spade ace, de- olarer then knocked out the dia- mond ace. East correctly stayed off as long as he could. On the third round of diiuiionds. West seized the ohance to discard the club nine, but East had ideas of his own-lhe per- sisted with another spade retluirn.

South had fully believed West :- bout. the club situation, it East hadnll, so he discardw the heart

the king of clubs. This won 1 Lhollgllllrflll play and a. successful one. West could not afford to hold on with his ace-if he did, another club lead toward the guarded queen would follow-but atitar West took the trick he was helping. He sensed that no good would come from 8 heart return, so he tried the bluff of a low club but Saiittii had mnimilvod himself. He ducked in dummy, and when he could win with his own ten-spot. the contract was home.

This is I rsther cumoilinated hand to analyze, hut readers will be rewarded by laying out the cards nhd observing the vast deifi- erence if East obeys his partners signal and shifts to clubs imtend of
