He was just i wandering. most of the time look- ; lug for something to eat. Like most iyoung folk, he was growing 'fast i and needed plenty to eat. and he had to find whatever he ate. Much . of it he had to catch. Aireadv he i had found out that those he tried to catch often were as smart as he, and sometimes smarter.

He had not gone very in before he came to a turn in the little path. It turned around a big rock.! 0! course, he should have stopped: and carefully peeked around that 1 big rock to make sure the way 7, was clear. He didn't. He was think- 71, lng or other things, he was still -I wondering what there was about ' the poison people that made every- body afraid of them.

He trotted around that big rock, and was greeted with a hiss. lllll ugly threatening hiss that gave him A most uncomfortable teoiing.i

There. right in Iront or him, was another or the snake folk, and net I 3 was uglier looking than Buzztaii.

He stared just as Buzztail had; stared. He was shaking his tail: just as Buzztaii had shaken his tail. It made a queer sound among the dry leaves.

The small Fox didn't stop to notice that that buzzing sound was! laint. and not really like the rat-it r tie he had heard before. At one

side of him was a prickly bush. Back of him. and partly around on the other side, was the biz roC:.l In front of him was this ugly-look-' ing Snake.

In view of his own length in clubs and East's club raise, West saw little future in leading the suit; he preierred to try out his single- ton spade. South won the king and drew two rounds of trumps. then tried to establish the spade suit. This. however, was impossible, and

-South iinaiiy had to depend on a

lavorable position of the diamond ace. He was unfortunate in that respect also, however, and so went down one.

The East-West hidding was high- ly significant, and when, on top 01 this, West opened the jack of spades, deciarer might well have visualized the precise lie of cards. Obviously, West had a very long and presumably good club suit, but this Very probability made it odds- on that East had the diamond ace. (Without that card. how could he iind even a defensive raise of clubs?) There was a chance. oi course, that spades would break no worse than 4-2, but there was tor more reason to (ear that West. had opened it singleton. Thus. South should have realized that the im-

i mediate cashing or the. second round

or trumps might be ruinous.

The lesser risk was to cash only one trump and then to lead Souths remaining spade. By conserving dummy's trumps in this way, South could run two or dummy's spades and his own low club in dummy, then lead the last spade and male East A present oi the trick, dis- carding a diamond from the closed hand. This would put East in the position of having to return I. club, giving South a rut! and discard, or, by leading diamonds, setting up dummy's king.
