THE ART OF SELF- PROTECTION

Noi-tlh-South did well to reach the game contract in V-0d3.V'5 dell- but the det-larer "lett himselt open" in the play-

didn't. like having her dainty little home found even thouizh she knew that Welcome Robin would do it no harm. n

-.1 -.13., hggrd that you live on ma EPLS found in the hearts of flow- ers. I suippoae that is what you are reading the babies." said Welcome Robin.

”You may suupipose what YOU pl.-ago." squeaked little Mrs. Hum- mer. "However. I'll have you to kni-,-iv that we hummingbirds eat a lot of things besides sweets from flowers. I'm not feeding these bwbirs of mine sweets now. Sweets are all i-iiziht, but there is such I thin: as too many sweets."

"Then what are you feeding 1-item?" cried Welcome Robin.

It is still no busineu of yours but I'll tell you. I'm feeding them spiders." squeaked Mrs. Hummer.

"Spiders!" cried Welcome Robin. ”Doii't tell me you are feeding those helpless mites spiders.”

"I am." retorted little Mrs. Hum- mer. "And why shouldn't I? What are teeny wer-ny spiders for it not to be eaten?"

Welcome Rolbin paid no atttn- tion to that question. Long ago he learned that it was s-inart to hCFlIl not to hear questions that you cannot answer. "Are spiders and sweets the only things you liumniinizibirdts eat'.'" he wanted to know.

”Donlt ask foolish questions. Are those long wiggly worms that you pull out. or the ground the only things you eat?" retorted Mrs. Hummer.

Welcome Rdbin said notininiz. He vontinucd to watch Mrs. Hum- mer niislh her long bill down the t.!ii'o.it.'u of the trim babies. For the first Mme he noticed that the tiny bills on! those tiny birds were not like the bill of their mother. They were quite short. That seemed queer. He mentioned the matter.

"If i'he;i' hills were long like mine. how in the world would I be able to push my bin down their Mn-oat.s'.'." she demandgd. -Tl'-l9lr.blllS will grow long when it. is time for thcni to get their own food." she added.

Sine had said she. was feeding Nnidcrs In the babies. tiny spiders, Though his eyes are keen wa- come Robin hadn't seen a single -spider. There was a very good rea. son. Mis. Hummer had rm-allowed those little xrpidei-s some time before. and they were partly dig;-5- l9(l..ihllS they formed a sort of Piiemai food and tihis she pumped up out or her own throat into lite babies. She was feeding them bi: what is called regul';:Itat.lon. Cit course that is a bi; word, but all YOU have to remember is that it means (coding the babies with food tihat has been prepared in mothers throat. She pumips it U9 from her throat into the thr- eats of the babies. Arn-'t you glad

it Souttli had merely overeati- ed two heazts with t-.vo spades. as so many players would do. he prcfoaibly would not have reached the game con-tract. since North would not have been able to raise. or course, in view or the outcome. South would have been better art by not reaching game, but that was only because he did not con- duct. the play skillfully.

West opened the heart king. and East signalled with the queen. There uipon, West quick-ly shifted to the ten of diamonds - he had found a prrvliaiblc way of putting East on lead.

South took the diamond trick by playing the nueen of clubs. hoping that West had the king and would cover. But when West de- clined to sacrifice his king. South wcnt astray. He was, sure that West's diamond ten had been I singleton and that a ririf was im- pending. but the only way he could see to ward off this ruff was to let the club quecn ride and hope for quick entry to dum-my via the ten of trumps. This hope was dashed, however, by the Alert; west player. On dcclarers lead of a low trump. West went right u.p with the ace and underled his heart ace. East. in with the heart ten, had no prcibleni w he return- ed a rliamoniri and West's will was the settiiiz trick.

Since South realized that the club king had to be on side if he was to fulfill the contract. he should have proceeded somewhat ditvfercntly. Tho right. (and winn- ingt play. was to overtake the club queen with the ace. then to lead the club jack and discard. the hurt from his own hand. This would erffectively break commun- ication between West and East piayeis. and shut out the diamond rutlf which was so menacing.
