drops of rain fell there wasn't a tiny Toad in sight. Two minutes later there were so many or them that it looked as if the very kround itself was moving. when he got home. I-teddy told Mrs. Reddy a- bout it. "It just rained Toads." concluded Reddy.

Mrs Reddy grinned. she grinn- ed broadly. Reddy noticed this. was Mrs. Roddy launhinn at him? Like most people. luddy doesn't. like to he laughed at. ”What are you grinnlng about?" he asked.

"I was Just wonderimz it you had combed out your coat." replied Mrs. Roddy.

Roddy looked puzzled. "Why should I have combed out my coat?" he asked.

"If it really rained little Toads. some must have landed all over you, and I should think that some would be caultht in your fur." said Mrs. Reddy. He eyes twlnklecl.

"Come to think of it." said Rod- dy. "I don't remember being hit by single one. That's funny.. I could hardly step without stepping on one, yet I don't remember actu- ally seeing one fall." Thoughfuily. he scratched his nose.

”Do you know what I said Mrs. Raddy.

"No." replied Reddy. "I never know what you think. Sometimes I wish I did, and sometimes I'm glad I don't. What do you think now?"

"I think." replied Mi-s. Reddy.” that you must have been taking a' nap and had a dream. and the rain woke you up."

"No such thlmz."ideciared Red- dy indignantiy. "If you don't be- lieve the Green Mesdow. are alive with tiny Toads. come with me and I'll show you."

Mrs. Raddy went with Reddy and he did show her. Everywhere in the grass tiny Toads were hop- ping in all directions. It had stopped raining. Mrs. Raddy look-

think?"

After South had collected 12 tricks without my real difficulty. he asked North why he hadn't cue-

bld clubs at some point to indicate his first-round control.

North's reply was that he had been "too busy showing diamond support." He argued that in "dis- turbing" the tour-heart. game con- tract he had made a slam try, and that south. holding such a "rock- crusher." had no earthly reason for declining the invitation.

There was a great deal or logic in North's argument and it is hard to understand why South stopped at five diamonds after North went past the major-suit game-level. There is more to this idea 01 "dis- turbing the lower contract" than may generally be known. A good

player does not take himsell out of a ten-trick major-suit con- tract for the mere purpose or play- ing at a minor-suit game contract. His slam aspirations. when he does this. are implicit, and with North showing even general slam motions. South was certainly in it position to "go along."

It is true that North might. have been wiser to support diamonds directly (over South's two-spade jump rebid) instead of bidding the more discouraging two notrump. but this should not have been a conclusive feature of the biddinlr. ed at all those tiny Toads. Then she looked up st the clouds and wondered.
