his battles are for others fought. -Old Mother Nature.

Lightfoot the Deer had not been fpelillg good for some time. The ii-uiii is he had not felt good since he had lost his wonderful aiitlers, I-is horns many call them. They had been his weapons. and when he had them he feared no one. without them. he felt helpless. Yes. sir. Lightfoot felt helpless. He felt even more helpless zlian did Mrs. Ligiiiiocll. She never had iizirl any msicrs. so of course she had no sense of loss. It was that feeling of lc:s that made Lightfoot feel so nor: of helpless. All he wanted now was to be left alone: to begleft in pF.'iJ8 and quiet. True. he tagged slung after Mrs. Llghtfoot and the ;.,.ns, but he managed to keep nzrnii by hiniself.

Never had he missed those ant- lm with their many sharp points as he did iiow. Never had he so icl: IIIP need of them. A dreadful thiiig Ilau happened in the Green Fores:. Tn I Dogs, a small one whose won- iiriul nose could follow the trail of a Deer anywhere. except in we.- tor. and a big Dog who was a killer. new-. on the trail of Mrs. Lightfoot .. .z-1-zv---',?-w'-mD'pD

Ind tht twins. but sooner or later they would catch up unless some- thing or someone had interfered. Lightfoot had tried to get those Dogs to chose him instead or the others. That in itself was a brave thing to do. He had failed. The two Dogsihsd swept on following the trail of Mrs. Lightfoot and the two youitg Deer. who for the first time in their short lives were now know

ing the terror of being chased by enemies who had no pity. ,

Mrs. Llghtfoot was worried; she was badly worried. It wasn't for herself that she worried. It wasifor the two younrr fine Dcer following at her heels. It is that way with mothers. they would be all right for some time. They would be able to outrun those Dogs for a while. but they couldn": run as long as if they were fully grown; they could- n't. run as long as she could. Thev would tire. Also, they knew none of the tricks whereby those Dogs niight be fooled. and at least de- layed. She and Lightfoot knew all those tricks and by means of them could obtain periods of rest even when they couldn't get rid of the Dogs altogether. she was a Worried mother.

Lightfoot. stood for a long time in a thicket wttli his biiz ears set to catch the sounds of the chase. He knew almost as well as if she had told him just where Mrs Llzzhtfoot would run. and just. what she would do. He. too. was worried Were it not for the two young Deer he and Mrs. Llghtfoot could be- twceii them get rid of the Dogs. They had fooled Dogs before, and he was sure they could fool them again.

Finally. Lightfoot lay down. Mrs Lichtfoot had led those Dogs out of hearing. but he knew that soon- rr or later she would come back At long last, he heard the voice of the Dog on the trail. at first faint l'l the distance. then growing steadily louder.

He slipped into that thicket where he wouldn't be seen.

Lightfcot. "They must be tired now. Anyway. the twins must be tired." He got to his feet. He knew just

where Mrs. Lightfoot probably would run. He trotted swiftly to another thicket. past the edge of which was an old path. I-Ie slipped into that thicket where he would- n't be seen. After a long wait, he saw Mrs. Lightioot coming and behind her the two young Deer. He could see by the way they were i-mining that the twins were tired. They would not be able to keep on running for very long. He. could see in Mrs. Lightfoots big, soft eyes the fear that had possession of h-1': the fear for those precious twins.

She passed that thicket without seeing him. Tiie "twins followed. Then the Dogs came in sight. How. oh. how Lightfnot wished for those lost antlers! He didn't hesitate. With a snort of rage he leaped out of that thicket. and with his sharp -edged hoofs struck the big Dog uith all his strength. Knocking liim over. Before he could get to his feet, Lightfoot struck again.

UNJUSTIFIED "RIVERSING"

In the following deal South's un- wise "reverse bidding" led to an 800-pont penalty.

Soutlxatarted off on the wrong foot when he bid one diamond. His hand was not strong enough for "reverse bidding." and so he should have opened with one heart, reserving diamonds for his u,-bid and thus giving North the chance to state his preference at the two-level.

West, shrewdly deciding that since East had passed. game was remote for his own side. stayed out of the auction Just long enough to let the opponents trap themselves. then moved in wih ii penalty double.

West opened the six of clubs. I:-ummy's king won. and South led s heart toward his own hand, finess- irig the ten and losing to the king. West felt reasonably sure that South's remaining hearts were not to get the trumps out of dummy solid, so he was extremely anxious to prevent rufiing. Obviously, the only hope of putting East on lead and getting trump was in the spade suit. West realized that if he underled the spade ace, he might

find South with the king, but if South had that card it would scar- cely be blank. (Holding the spade king singleton. south would not have used up dummy's club en- try at the first trick - he first we-uld have established a spade molt.) so West shifted to a low spade. and with notable effect! East won 'and rteuriied the dia- mond ten: West smothered South's queen and continued with the dia- mond jack. This insured seven tricks and an R00-point penalty prnalty for the defense.
