Time moves swiftly; time is slow. Whichever way, you make it so. - ~—Old Mother Nature

1t was early evening when Bob- by Coon left his hollow-tree home where he had slep|> all day. Bobby is one of the night folk, those who like best to start out with tiie coming of the Black Shadows, and when the latter go back whence they came. hurry home to sleep through the hours of daylight. Sometimes Bobby is aboard in day- time, but not often unless it is to take a sun bath in an oid nest of Biacky the Crow high in a treetop.

He does that sometimes, mostly in summer.

At the foot of the hollow tree Bobby stood for a moment or two trying to make up his mind which ivay io go for the night's hunting Finally he decided to see what he could find along Laughing Brook. He yawned s couple of times. stretched. yawned again, then started off among the trees. He didn't hurry. He had all the long night ahead of him. How long that night was to be h; little Qizlssed.

Like all who know it Bobby Coon [ives Laughing Brook. For one hing he loves to play around water just as most boys and girls do. It is fun to wade in it. w en

fast. It is fun to listen to it laugh- ing and gurgling and singing. But most of all he loves it for the good

along its banks. Sometimes it is little fish in small pools from which he can scoop them out. Do- ing this is always fun. Sometimes it. is a bigger fish that some one else has caught but eaten little of Sometimes it is a. frog surprised on

|the bank, 0r found bidding in the

muddy bottom by feeling with his little black hands where ho sus- pects the frog may be. Sometimes it is a clam found in the same

BAD DEFENSE East was guilty of two errors during the play of today's deal.

East dealer Both sides vulnerable.‘ Both sides 60 on score.

- II» Pass Pass Pass

The state of the score naturally led to spirited bidding.

West, hard-pressed for an open- lng lead. laid down the we of clubs, but when he saw the dummy, he shifted to the diamond king, even though East lilflyid m? club seven as a "tome 0!! Thfi diamond ace won and declare: im- mediately ruffed e club. I-le led the spade seven to the king and ruffed diimmy's last club. then led to the spade ace.

1355i had played the deuce and six of trumps on the tWO IWEIS 0f that suit, and now, when declarer led a hcnrt to his lack. Weill W014 the trick but was in n quandary over what to return. He did not know that East had the diamond jack or that he still had the spade queen. and thus the safest return seemed to be a heart. It did not turn out that way. 110W" ever! Dummy's eight won and when the heart nine was led, East discarded a club! This made it easy {or declarer to Mn the present heart trick and then to discard a diamond from dummy on the next heart while East» ‘"15 using his high IYUmP-

It is unerstandablc that 1535i did not want to waste his zwd queen of spades. but it was vital that he ruff the third heart in order to make the quick return of a diamond. Moreover, t! East had properly followed suit in trumps with the six and deuce. instead of the other way around, he would have shown his partner a holding of three trumps (this is known as the trump echo) and West then could have led his last club tn the knowledge that declarer had no

more trumps.

He yswned s couple of times,

stretched, yawned sgain. then started off among the flees

wsy. Often in the fall there ill, Wild grapes oii the vines cllmbin‘ over the bushes or high in the trees along the banks. He loves these and. being a good climber he has a lot of fun getting them.

The grapes were gone now. The water was cold for trading just for fun. The frogs had gone to bed for the winter down in the mud out of reach of small black hands feel- ing about in it. But there were still clams to be found it one knew just where to feel for them, and Millilovsis could still be caught now and then. Also Crawfisli. 1t was seldom that Bobby hunted along Laughing Brook without finding something to eat.

This evening when Bobby reach- ed Laughing Brook lie was unde-

|dinners he often finds in it. or i-ided whether to go up or down

ilie brook. At last he decided to go down. Had lie gone the other way the night probably would have been neither longer nor shorter tiizin other nights. Instead it be- came tiio longest night Bobby had crcr linowii.

He had gone only a little way when he came to a small pile of st ks and other stuff that had lo ged there when the ivster was high. brought by the swift cur- rent. 'i‘licre was iio swift current now, but a quiet shallow little pool, the kiiid of a pool that small fishes like. 1t vas one of Bobby's favorite fishing places. He ap- proached it slowly. carefully. A gocc‘ fisherman never hurries. Bobby Coon is a good fisherman.

Mistress Moon was up early this evening. Moonbeams made that. pool almost as light as by clay. Be- tween the little pile of driftwood and the edge of the water was just room enough for Bobby to walk. A small log lay across the narrow path, one end under the drift stuff, the other out in the water. Bobby went out on the log and looked down in the shallow ivater. The moonlight fell on

‘something bright. on the bottom

close to that. log. Nothing like it ever iiad been there before. What could it be? Bobby likes bright things, shinny tlungs. He was sure he could reach this. He. reached down in the water. his small black hand feeling for the. shiny thing.

Without warning terrible jaws leaped up from the mud and grabbed his paw. Tiio sudden pain and fright mach. him lose his bal- ance. He fell into the water. There he struggled to get free and couldn't. 'l‘liat terrible thing held tast.,lt "vrouldirt let go even ever so little. The more he struggled and pulled, the tighter it seemed to hold. It was the niost fright- fully cruel thing ever in the Green Forest oi" oii the Green Meadows. It was a steel trap. Some one had known Bobby's fondness for bright things and n bit of bright tin had been used to tempt liim to put his hand tn that trap.
