THE SIJDDEN SILENCE

Silence speaks for knowing ears wise in other people's iesrs. -Old Mother Nature.

It had been very. very still in one Green Forest. There were no dry leaves to rustle. ior the ground was covered with snow. Anyway, not a single Merry Little Breeze was about to nistle a leaf had there been no snow. when it is as still as it was then even a. small sound is heard at a distance. so it is no wonder than whet) C'haI:tox'er the Red squirrel began to scold Red- dy Fox, and make fun or him be- cause he couldn't climb trees as Ohatterer can, his voice traveled clear to the loot oa the Great Mwntain. Spite the Marten had just come down from the Great Mountain. So had Oroaker the Rav- en. Both heard that noisy tongue, and the mouths oi both of them watered just a. little. You see, a plump Red squirrel is just about as good a dinner as either of them

out od every 100 arcumenis that scour at the bridge table, probably 09 or 70 are just plain silly. because they are based on a silly premise. That premise is that because a hand has lust gone down a trick or two. the contract must have been wrong' (If it had been ivuliilled, there would have been nothing but mutual con- gratulationsl)

Take the ioilowing case for ex- ample. North and South assailed each other for the six-diamond eon- tract. when, as a matter of fact. that contract had not needed a great deal or luck to be iuliiiled.

South dealer. Both sides vulnerable. North-South. 90 on score.

This was the bidding:

South West North East , 1 0 Pass 1 9 Pass . 4 NT Pass 5 .3 Pass 5 9 Pass Pass Pass

Particularly at the 90 score, south might have been wiser to open with two diamonds. and then not to bid so forcibly later, but no severe criticisn can be made of his actu- al cholce. He evidently ielt that it would be most advantageous to get a "natural" response from North.

North was pretty weak. of course, but he could not tell that South would buy the hand for one dia- mond, and so his heart response, though questionable. was not en- tirely without merit.

Tlihis response naturally put thoughts of a slam in South's mind. and his prompt use ox Blaokwood was logical. Then. even after North denied aces by responding with five clubs, south still felt that there should be an excellent play (or a slam-the very fact that North was aceless ' that he would put down as good a heart suit as K- x-x-x-x or possibly K-J-x-x-x. or, of course, North might turn up with some high spade honors, or even some clu-bs that could be used. I Even with the disappointing dum- my North put down. South had a play for the contract when West. opened the ace oi clubs. but the break of hearts and diamonds kept him mm victory. with either a 3-: heart break. ofs diamond break that would have permitted the

unblocking at South's hearts, the slam could have been fulfilled.

'terer. 5pite traveled through he

treetops whenever he could. He did have to come down on the ground sometimes. but most od the time he could travel by jumping irom tree to tree as you have seen a. squir- rel do. However. Spite could jump much farther than any squirrel. so he could travel in the tree tops where no squirrel could.

The nearer they get to that scold- ing voice. the louder ii; became. spite grinned as he heard it. He knew that ahatterer was excited. He knew that Chatterer was scold- ing someone who was trying to catch him. or hoped to catch him. Croaker knew this. too. Both hoped that whoever it was would right where they were and keep Chatterer busy with that scolding tongue of his..Whlle he was busy that way he wouldn't be watching for other enemies. They were just a little more than halfway to where Ohettere-r was when he stopped scolding. It had been still before his noisy tongue began to wag. Now that it had stopped wagging it seem- ed even more still. spite stopped in a. treetop and listened. croaker stopped in Fhcther treetop tolisten. Both oi th understood that sud- den silence. alt was just as i.i' the silence was speaking to them. It is that way with the people of the Green Forest and the Green Mea- dows. They can often read the sil- once as readily as the sounds they hear.

"Hal" exclaimed Spite under his breath," that fellow is frightened. I wonder what has scared him.” Cmaker was thinking the same thing. Both were wondering if some other hunter had discovered Chat- terer. They knew that that noisy tongue oi his would not have been so suddenly silenced unless he had had a sudkn (right. For a new rnlrultes both kept quiet listening. Then once more spite moved on through the treetops and croaker followed. splte did not need Chat- terer's voice to guide him. He could go straight to the point from which he had last heard that voice, and this is what he was doing. He was almost there when Blacky the crow saw him. "Cawl Cawl Cawl cried Blacky at cnce. he began to circle above the tree in which Spite was. Spite tried to dodge out or sight. but he was trying to dodge a. pair oi the sharpest eyes in all the Green Forest. spite looked up at him and snarled, Yes. sir, he looked up at him and snarled. You see he knew that Blacky was telling everybody within hearing just -where he. s-oiie, was. He was warning everybody ihat there was another hunter there in the Green Forest and of course Chatterer was listening to that warning.

It was true Ohatterer did hear that warning and Chatterer was probably the most frightened Squir- rel that ever wished he had held his tongue still. You see, at the foot oi the tree he was in was Reddy Fox, and because there was no oth- er tree quite near enough for him to jump to Chatterer was a prison- er in that tree.
