FARMEE BROWN'S HELPEBS

And iudsmént by the facts abide. Let prejudice be put aside.

--Old Mother Nature. "I've never seen so many Mice on the Meadows as there are this spring. It looks to me as if we are in for a. Mouse plague. With so many now they’ll increase so fast that they are likely t: pretty near cat us out o! house and home. The

can do about it. No matter bow good a growing season we have‘ there will be a short crop of hay

grass faster than it can grow." said Farmer Brown. ‘

Farmer Brown's boy was think-y lng of this as he started across» _ Everywherei tiny paths crossed and recrossedi through the new grass. Now and then he caught a glimpse of a short-tailed Mouse‘da.rting along one oi’ these little paths. What his fathenhad said was true. Condi- tions through the winter and early spring had been just right for the Meadow Mice. lie couldn‘t remem- ber ever having seen so many!

THERE OUGHTA BE A LAW!

l-le knew that with conditions Just; right a single pair pf Meadow MlCCi may have nwre than o. dozen funi- lies, each of five to eigiht or more. children" in a year, and that wheni they are only a few weeks old these . children will have children of their ovnn. With s0 many Mice now what would the Green Meadows be like by the end of the summer? Where would the hay come frcm.

ter?

Not only would there be little hay, but other crops would also suffer. The garden was likely to be ruined. And there was nothing to be done about it. That was the

front of Farmer Brown's boy a brown bird with broad wings rose "lightly into t-he air. He was nearly but not quite the size of Blacky the Crow. His wings made no sound He flopped them easily then held them out motionless and sailed a little way before that easy flap- ping of the wings again.

"A ghort-Eared Owl!" exclaimed Farmer Brown's boy. "It is a long time since I've seen one here on the Green Meadows. I wish a pair would nest here. They might save a little hay for us by matching Mice. I have read that Mice are what they live on when there are plenty of them."

Just then another Owl rose from the ground and the two flew away together. It was clear that they were a pair. Supposing to stay and nest! fit was an excit- lng thought. Farmer Brown's boy crossed the Green Meadows to the Old Pasture. There he was very careful to walk slowly and care- fully so as to make no squad. N0 yea; rustled against his clothing No dead twig snapped under his feetHI-Ie reached what he called his lookout, a big rock from which he could lock over parts of the 01d Pasture and much of the Green Meadows.

Cautiously he crept up on the big rock and. peeped throupll R screen o! bushes. Just a little way off was the home of Reddy Fox and Mrs. Roddy. Neither of them was to be seen. Long ago he learned the value of patience. He lay on the rock as still as the rock itself. At long last he saw a sharp H059 poked out of the doorwoy. Mrs. Raddy was at home.

Two or three minutes later

Reddy stepped out from among the

bushes. He had brought trwo Mice. L

He put them down near the door- way, then walked off to one side

South's two-notrump rebid was obviously a gambling effort, al- though it is true that his first re-

‘Simharhad left him with a little

"nverage.”

West opened his fourth-highest spade and, the moment the dummy went down. south saw that he faced considerable danger in the club suit. Even if the club was “right" the opponents could establish at least three tricks in the suit before declarer could nook out their dia- mond controls.

So, to disguise the spade situation as much as possible and in that way to encourge further attacks in spades, declarer over-took the spade queen with his own ace-as though he had startedwith only t-wo cards in the suit, '

South now led the dluznond Jack West ducked; East won and return- od the spade nine. Dummy’: king won, and another diamond was led, West winning with the ace.

West. to his shame, new die ex. actly what South had hoped no would do-he continued with spades evidently hoping that declarer was now void and that the rest of the suit could be run defensively Need- less to say. that was not the case! To repeat, South's hoax was prctw feeble, and it could not have worked against any West who watched the "spots." First, East had played the spade deuce on the opening lead. which he scarcely would have done with four to the jack. Second. East's. returjn of the spade nine had specifically denied the jack. So South was marked with that vital card-and the shift to clubs was clearly marked for West.
