Oroaker the Raven was having a hard time. To have heard. him creaking in that harsh voice of his. you might have ihoutrht he was complaining. He wasn't. Croaker isn't the compiaiiizixg kind. He found out long aim in luilc is in be gained by cmrmlaiiumz, It is the one who works. not. the one who .-ompiains, who izeis the things needed or desired.

tired. someiimm it seemed to him that he couldnlt flop them once more. but always he could and did because he had the will and cour- age to live.

There are iimes when it takes the finest kind of courage just to live. There are times when it would be much easier to quit trying. This is true. with very many of 'the fur- red and feathered folk. aspecially those who spend winter in the land of snow and ice, and bitter north wind. and howling storms. Croaker the Raven was only one. His amal- ler coinln, Blacky ihe Grow. was another. But Blacky had an easier time than his big cousin. You see. Blarky long ago learned that much Ifocd is to be found around the DIIOITICS of wasteful man. Also, he iloiig ago learned the ways of man

and how to get what he wants with-

: out runnincz too much risk of being ishot. so. Blacky managu to live ifairly well through even the sever- y est winter, while his big cousin, liv- ling far from the homes of man. has i to light to live.

There are others who have to do the same thing. Buster Bear cm sleep through the worst part of the the winter. But Puma the Panther. the Mouiain Lion, cannot do this. nor can his cousinhfrufty the Lynx. Yowler the Bobcat cannot do this. Neither can Howler the Wolf. and his cousin. Old Man Coyote. Being awake they must have food. and to get their food they must hunt. and hunt, and hunt. For at this season of the year. this season of snow and ice, the ones whom they

catch, than at any other time. You see, many of them live under the snow, and it is only the carelesm ones who venture out -- who sre caught. g

so it is that these hunters in fur coats seldom know what it is not to be hungry. sometimes iahere will be two or three days in which they do not have a. bite to eat. All of them must have ihe will to live. the very finest kind of courage, or they would soon starve to death. It is the same way with certain feathered folk, Booty the Great Horned Owl. Whitey the snowy Owl. who comes down from the far noriih. Terror the Goshawk. and 1 number of the smaller birds, some of these smaller ones must have food in order to give them the energy to fly about, and in order to make heat To keep their small bodies from freezing. Without food they mcy starve or freeze to death in I few hours, and many of them do. Given enough food they have the courage to live through the very worst weather.

Farmer Brownls Boy knows this. It is one reason he takes care al- ways to have plenty of food where his feathered friends can get it easily. He has a. feeding shelf at the kitchen window. He has suet fasten- ed to the trees in the Old Orchard. He long ago made a. shelter of brush. and cleared away the snow under it. Here he scatters seeds and grain for the feathered folk who get most of their food on the ground. The first thing every morn- ing he makes a round of his feed- ing places to see that there is plenty of food put out. He never forgets.

"Don't you think. Tommy, that you are making you feathered friends lazy?" asked. Mother Brawn one morning. asfrommy was put- ting out some seeds.

Farmer Brown's Boy shook his head. "No." said he. "They pay for every scrap of food they get. They never pick up a seed that they do not pay for."

Mother Brown looked puzzled. She was puzzled. She said as much. "I don't see how they pay." said me. -

"Listen." said Farmer Brown's Boy. f'Deel Dee! Dee! Dee!" called Tommy Tit from just outside the

window. "Isrft that worth a few seeds?" asked Tommy.

South rather extended himself in leaping to three notrump over North's unenoouraging two-din mond takeout. but, as it happened. his optimism was rewarded.

West opened the heart 'tihree. Dummy played low: East put up the ace and returned the heart tan. Declarer correcttly held up the king. West won with the queen and. hoping to regain the lead in clubs, led a iihird round of hearts to re- move South's stopper.

Now, since more was obviously no chance for nine tricks execpt by establishing diamonds, declare: laid down the king. East hold up the ace. but it was soon driven out by" South's continued diamond leads. When East returned a. club, declar- er naturally declined the finsse: he won with the club ace and then could cash the rest of the dis- monda and two spade tricks for his contract.

Now for the forementioned ex- change of courtesles.

East should have played the heart. ten on 'the first trick - without hesitation. south was marked with

the king, but even if he had Q-x-x'

the ten-play could do no harm. Then it would have required con- siderable nerve on South's part to hold up the king - for all he could tell. the hold-up would let Wat run the entire suit on a heart. return. ' Against this. however. is the fact iihat South could have protected himself from the ten-play by put- ing up dummy's jack. Then East would have been really helpless.
