Old Ml‘. Toad was uncomfort- able. Because he was uncomfort- _,able he was unhappy. It is diff‘.- J cult to be happy when uncomfort- sbleuFew can manage it. Old li-ir. Thad was-wiry. He felt as if he [were drying up. His skin has to be moist for him to be comfort- lable. and there ivvas no moisture l in it, It was so dry that it seemed ‘a wonder that it didn't crack. There was a greiit drouth. It hadn't rained for so long that there Mic no moisture in the ground. Dig- ging down in the earth no long- er gave the relief it usually did in dry weather. Day after day bright. hot Mr Sun climbed up in the blue. brsc

The leaves of trees were turning brown, Grass was no longer green. There was less and less water in Laughing Brook ant‘ the Smiling Pool.

Farmer Brown's boy was careful to fill the bird bath with cool. fresh water the first thing every morning arid often again in Ia'e afternoon. So the feathered foil: of the Old Orchard never had to go thirsty. and when the heat bc~ came more than they oould bear they could and did cool themselves off by bathing. And Farmer Brown's boy kept pens filled with water where his neighbors in fur could get it. But he forgot all a- bout his assistant gardeners unti one day he happened over in the ,corner where was what he called e “Toad oo-operative Home." a long.

old. wide board beneath which liv-

ed all the Toads of the neighbor- ‘hood. Sitting just outside, looking as mis, rable as he felt. was his old friend nd assistant. Old Mr. Toad. He was thin and dusty and P. golden eyes were too dull to be at all beautiful.

Farmer Brwons boy lifted the board enough to peep beneath. There were big ‘Ibads. little loads. and Toads of middle size. Every one of them looked as dusty and miserable as did old Mr, Toad on‘;- side. They were the saddest look- ing Toads he ever had seen. 'I'i:ey paid no attention to him. They didn't so much as blink an eye st him. They felt too miserable. too weak and sick to notice anything. Had their greatest enemy. the one whom they feared most, come o- long it is doubtful l! they would

' have noticed him.

tlve Home and carefully lifted oil the roof, the old bond, Then nu 1mm the can ‘ma began m sol-ins- le the Toads. As the cool. fine drops fell like gentle rein there was a startling and marvelous change. Those listless. dusty Toads suddenly came to life. They crowded and Jostled each other in their eagerness to get under she failing water. All around the earth began to stir as Toads who had burrowed out of sight in it scrambled out and struggled to get under the sprinkling can. Dust. was washed from dry skins. and these looked less and less as if they might crack. Dull eyes became bright and once more lovely.

"They must be as dry inside as out," thought Farmer Brown's boy. He went to the house for a shallow pan. He set it on the ground so that the water was a wee bit below the surface of the ground. Old Mr. Toad was the first to find the pan of water. He hopped right. in and sprawled out until the water cov- ered sll but; liis head.

"Hey. that. water is to drink. not for s. bath," cried Farmer Brown's boy. Then he remembered some» thing he had read. that Toads drink by soaking water in through their skins. not by swallowing it. Old Mr. ‘road Was drinking. Former Brown's boy watched him. He look- ed extremely happy. "You old soak you." said runner Brown's boy, . Another Toad hopped in. soon the pan was filled with sprawling. happy ‘Ikmds soaking up the water. They had been very. very thirsty.

A little-known but extremely valuable bid was instrumental in North-South's reaching their lay- down grand slam contract. in to. day's deal:

1t was, of course, North's "raise" to six diamonds that was the key bid oi this auction. without that call by North, and indeed without the double of five diamonds by West, North-South could not have bid the grand slam with any de-

mo. examine the ‘biddingvand analyze as we go along.

North's opening heart bid needs no comment. nor does South's one-spade response. North's fol- lowing 1eap' to gains at spades. contrary‘ to widespread misconcep- tion. was not a "game closing” 'bld—on the contrary, it was ovary strong raise snd in that sense dis- tinctly encouraging. It announced North's feeling that there would be o, good play for four spades even if south had the weakest. possible spade response, and by implication, of course. announced that more was in the hand it South had undisclosed values,

Since South did not have a very good hand, his five-diamond bid was entirely logical. West's double 0d that call was not so logical. It was inconceivable that the op- ponents would play st a diamond contract, so why tell them that the suit was "banked"? It was this double that gave North hie. beautiful opportunity. Obviously, he would not’ have bid six diam- onds when doubled at five dinin- onds. id he had held some support -in that case a redimblrwotild be, the natural reaction. Thus, his actual ‘bid of six diamonds could mean only what lit did mean: a cue bid showing first-round cin- trol. South did not have to won- der whether hYill first-round control was the are or o void; he could now bid for the If!“ 514m in.slmost Perfect mew-
