"What are you doing here?” he squesked. -

Hooty the Great Horned Owl, larg- est of the Owl family. He was sit- ting very straight, his great. fierce. yellow eyes fixed on the water as he turned his head from side to side. Now and then he turned his head so quickly, thht he could look right behind over his back. Hooty was beginning to be puzzled. What had becorrs of that Muskrat who had dived of that box just in time to cheat him of a good din- ner? l

Hooty knew that s Muskrat could

would have to come up for air. He knew, too. that the shone was too far away for that Muskrat to swim to it under water.

The current in which that box was floating began slowly to swing toward shore. Of course it carried the box with it. It had almost reached the shore, when Hooty gave up his watch. spread his big wing and silently flew away. still puzzling over what had become of that Muskrat. He felt cheated. Yes. sir, he felt cheated out of a good dinner. All the time Jerry Muskrat had been only a few inches from those great, cruel claws of Hootyls. He had been swimming under that box. He had been smart enough when he dived to escape Hooty and to realize that under that box he would be sale. You see, it was floating enough out of water for it to have an air space under it. Somehow Jerry knew that he was near the bank. He swam under water until he came .to where some bulrushos were grow- ing out in the water. Then he knew he was safe from Hooty.

He was at the mouth of a small brook. and around it grew cattails. Jerry was hungry. In fact he was so hungry that he could think of nothing else but filling his sto- mach. Now, there is nothing he likes better than catiails. He cut one down. and carried it to the shore. There he ate it. With every mouthful he felt better, He out another and ate it. While he was eating this one, another Musk- rat came along. He was big. strong, and cross.

”What are you doing here?" he squeaked. and made a sudden rush at Jerry. He showed all his long yellow teeth.

A BAD HABIT

It was nothing but the deeply ingrained habit which affects most players that caused South to lose his vulnerable slam contract in the following hand.

West opened his partner's suit. spades, and after winning with the blank ace declarer automatically led a low trump. West, no altruist, smoothly followed suit with the deuce, and since declarer was not looking into the opponents hand. and since he did not expect a 4-0 break, he naturally put up dum- my's king. That ended the slam hopes. South could discard one club on dummyls fourth diamond. but he had a sure club loser along with the equally sure trump loser.

If there had been no opposing bidding. South might have been forgiven for his first lead of trumps (though it would still be wrong)..but under the actual cir- cumstances, South was warned to

bid certainly marked East with great length in one suit. so if either defender had the four mis- sing trumps - the only threat South faced a it obviously figured to be West. Naturally, South could not safely assume a 4-0 trump break, but it was easy for him to find out.

The right first lead of trumps was the queen. If both adversaries followed. the suit was breaking. It only West followed. a second lead would make him split his honors, and after returning to his own hand it would be easy for South to lead a third trump. for a prov- ed finesse against Westls remain- ing l0-x or J-x.
