Bobby Coon had found this out. Twice he had tried to climb up to that nest. Twice he had been dri- ven down with' scratched face and torn coat. Could it he that he was nlannind to try again? Hooty and Mrs. I-Iooty suspected that he was. There someone about his size in some brush in little way cg. Two Owls had both heard and" seen someone there. Who else was it likely to be? Who else could it be? They flew back and forth just a- bcve the brush, snappinxz their bills and hissing angrily as they started down into the darkness. But the brush was thick and whoever was there was well hidden.

If it was Bobby Coon. and both I-looty and Mrs. Hooty were sure if was. ire-was keeping still now. This made them more sure that it was Bobby. He was hiding. just waiting for a chance to climb up to their nest to get their precious babies. a chance while they were off hunting. They were in no doubt at all as to this. They stooped fly- ing back and forth over that hid- ing place and snapping their bills. They new up in the home tree to talk things over.

Those babies were hungry. They always were hungry. It seemed so anyway. Their months were al-

It was North's fault. exclusive- . ly, that his side ended up at a mere part-score contract. His act- ion on the second found. over lWest's rather sporty two-spade call, was inexcusably tlmld. The fact that south had voluntarily ,rebid in the lace oi the double at his leit, proved that he had a good hand. and. that being so. North's profusion or honors deser- ved higher respect. There were really only two sound actions available to North-a penalty double of two spades. or a bid of two notrump. North's actual heart raise was nothing but a weak com- promise. It was only natural that south should read this as a purely competitive gesture and should stop short of game.

Everything considered, it would seem that North's best action was in double two spades. If South stood for the double it figured to be very profitable, and if he did not. North could carry the ,auc- tion on to game.

ways open begging for food. And food was not easy to get. It took a lot of patient hunting just to keep those babies ted, not to mention themselves. This very minute both should be out hunting. But this would mean leaving those precious little ones all alone, and there was Bobby Coon hiding down there and waiting.

The only thing to do was to take turns hunting and keeping watch. I-looty flew away to hunt and Mrs. Hooty stayed on the nest fussing over the babies as mothers will Ail.the time she was listening ior a telltale sound of any kind. What- ever she might be doing her won-' derful ears were constantly on guard. i

At long last they caught the faintest of faint rustling sounds. Instantly Mrs. Hooty was up on the edge of the nest watching the brush whence those faint rustlings had come. She would wait for Bob- by Coon to comb out in the open where she could tear him with claws and bill and beat him with
