THE GUARDIAN.

(By Thornton W. Burgess)

To life the universal key If food, ivherever you may be, —Old Mother Nature.

The morning alter the ice storm Farmer Brown's boy was Ht: and out even earlier than usual. There was much to do lifter the storm, paths to dig wit

the barn and the henhouse. and the driveway out to the road. But, as early as he was. some of his feathered friends were also up slid out.

Sammy Jay was tapping on the feeding shelf at the kitchen win- dow, opening the last. sunﬂower seed there. Tommy Tit the Chickadee was calling impa- tiently. Tile suet was covered with a coating of ice. So were all the seeds excepting those in one covered feeder. A lot of other birds were there. some on the lei-tiers. some on the snow be- neath. some in the trees and bushes, and all hungry, very hungry.

Today's deal was the source of a licutcd argument at New York-i leiiiling bridge club

Vlith four nationally known masters, the bidding proceeded: West North East South Pass Pass i Q 2 Q 3 Q Poss Pass 4 Q 5 Q Pass Poss 5 Q Pass Puss Dble. Past Pass Pass

South wits not conspicuously lutky in his five-spade contract. siilcc, in addition to the heart. the diamond and the club that he fear- i-d lii- would lose, he also had to Iqivc up a trump trick.

‘llius. Niirlli-Soiith \\citl. (town 30o points when. as it. happened. they could have defeated the enemy one trick, 200 points, at the five- diamond contract.

After the game there was con- siderable iliscussion over South's choice of actions when the five- diriinniid bid came around to him. Nortlt (who peillaps was Just a shade biased in the matterl), sign- ed voclferciusly that South “cer- tainly should not have taken a loss on a Ilalld as big as his", and that since he could not expect to mnko live spades. with vulnerable opponents bidding as strongly as they did. he should have been satisfied to double live diamonds even though he could not expect to beat that contract more than one trick.

North's views held considerable logic, but there was a great deal to be said on the other side of this question. First, despite the impressive strength of his hand. South could not be absolutely sure of defeating five diamonds! West was a good player; it was not to be assumed that. he would carry an opening diamond hid to a vulnerable five-diamond contract without rxtrardinary distributional assets. iHc would not have many iiigli cards!) lt was not inconceiv- iibie that South would not take any spade tricks defensively. and that a heart trick also would escape him due to the distribution. Thus, his decision to bid five spades was

by no menus illogical.

He flew down and began Pbckins furiously at that corn

“The very first thing to do is to leed them because they can't 2e long without. food or they will freeze to death. It takes food to make body heal, and I-hBY ha" had very little. if any. since the storm," thought Farmer Brown's

oy. He filled the feeding shelf and other stations with Suﬂilﬂw" seeds, cracked corn. bread crumbs and mixed seeds. He scattered plenty of the lmallﬂ’ seeds, Supt as Tree Sparrows and Juncos love. on the snow under the feeding stations. He put out fresh suet and peanut butter. And he smiled at the happy chorus of twtttered gratefulness that greeted him from all sides.

He saw Blacky the Crow watch- ing from a tall‘tree. “How Blacky manages to get enough food to keep alive this weather l don't understand at all," thought he as he went to the barn. In a mo- ment he came out with two ears of corn and threw them out on the crust in Bucky's direction. Biacky didn't hesitate. He wasn't the least bit bashful. He flew down and began peeking furious- ly at the corn. He was too hungry to be polite. He didnt say a word, not. even thank you. He lust filled his crop with the yellow grains his stout bill peeked from the cob. Finally he flew away. taking a small ear with him. Farmer Brown's boy chuckled as Blacky dropped it, tried to catch It in the air. and finally picked it upfront the snow and continued on his way to the Green Forest. Perhaps he was taking it to Mrs. Blacky, but it is more likely that lie was taking it to some secret place where he could be sure of finding it when he illoulcl have need for it later.

Farmer Brown's boy wcnt to feed tho Hens. Hc led iliem in the henhouse. It was warm and comfortable in there. An ice storm meant nothing to them nothing ivliatever. They were sure of plenty to eat and of fresh water to drink. They had nothing at all to worry about. How very, very different was life with them from what it was with their neigh- bors of the fields and woods!

Farmer Brown's boy thought of this and it reminded him of certain feathered friends of whom lie was very fond, the Bob Whites. He began to worry. They also must be very. very hungry. Where oould they find food not locked in lee by Jack Frost? He knew where they were. At least he was sure he knew. In the late fall he had arranged a big pile of brush espe- cially for them. Under it they would be sheltered from wind and storm. and find safety from Owl and Hawk and four-footed hiint- ers. Bob White and Mrs. White had known what tltat pile o! brush was for, that it was for them and their flock. He had no doubt that they had huddled to-' gether under it all through the‘ storm and probably were there right noiv, crowded together as is their way. They would keep each other warm. But what about food? There could be none under that brush. And sup- posing the snow had drifted around and over it and then had
