,

"Why?" asked the young Mink. He fairly spat out the question.

"Because whoever tries to pick up that piece of meat is going to wish he never had seen it," declared Billy Mink.

”Why is he?" the young Mink persisted.

"Because he is going to be terri- bly hurt, and he won't live to ever eat anything more," declar- ed Billy.

"Who says so!" the young Mink asked in a most im-pudent manner.

"I do," said Billy Mink.

. "Pooh," cried the other. and dodged as Billy jumped at him. It was well he did. Billy was losing

his temper. and Billy has quite all is '

temper. Most of the time he good natured, but when he does lose his temper, watch out. Ills teeth are so sharp. and he is so quick In his movements that you are likely to be sorry you made him lose his temper.

Blacky the Crow flew down to I low branch of the tree he had been sitting in. "Cow, caw caw. So you think there is something wrong with that piece of meat,"

said he to Billy Mink.

”I don't just think so.",sald Billy. "I know so."

"What is it?" asked Blaeky.

"What is what?" asked Billy.

"What is wrong with that meat? It looks alright to me," replied Blacky.

"Well, it isn't alright." said Billy. "If you were to pick it up. you would find out."

"I still say it looks alright to me." persisted Blacky.

”Fly down here and pick it up." said Billy.

"No, thank you. I'll take your word for it that something is wrong. although I can't see what it is, and there's nothing the mat- ter with my eycs." Blacky re-plied.

"Do you know who put it. lhere'."' Billy. asked.

"Yes," rwplird Blacky. "It was one of those two-legged folks we all hate."

”'1'hrn you ought to know what's wrong with it." declared Billy Mink.

"Well, what is it?" naked Blacky.

"There's It trap hidden there. and how I do hate traps!" snarled

Billy Mink. "He just wants that meat for himself," broke in the young

Minik. who was near enough to overhear what was being said.

Billy Mink leaped at him. The young Ming dodged and dived into the water.

"Billy shook his head. "He still has a lot to learn," said he.

questionably. however, the double was the sounder course.

A more diflficult problem arose when North bid three hearts over ISouth'a two notrump. It was tempt- ing to try for game at hearts. but South, after long thought, concluded that the chances would be better at notrump, with his

decision - North could not have made four hearts against good de- Iense.

West opened the diamond ten. East covered dummyls jack and was permitted to hold the trick. He laid down the king and ace of clubs, but when West showed out it seemed a give-up play to con- tinue with the club queen. no East shifted back to diamonds.

South took this trick, ran the heart suit - and squeezed both defenders! When the last heart was cashed. East had to reduce to two spades in order to hold the high club. Thereupon South discarded the club jack. keeping the ace-six of spades and the dia- mond eight. and now it was West's turn to feel the pressure. In order to keep the high dia- mond, he too had to discard a spade. and South made an over- trick by cashing in all lhree spades.
