lover little things despise; Qhev toll much to seeing eyes. -Old Mother Nature.

Dome folks do not believe in aiya. Those are folks who have never really learned to use their eyes. There are many signs of many things all about us if we but have eyes to see them. and the knowledge to understand them. Most of Mother Nature's child- ren, the furred and feathered folk, are more or less governed by signs. especially in regard to the weather. This is specially true be- fore bad weather. Most of them know beforehand when bad weath- er is coming. and prepare ac- sordingly.

lteddy Fox had noticed certain little things. certain little signs. that made him sure bad weather was just ahead. And bad weather h winter is always doubly bad for furrod and feathered folks. Reddy and Mrs. Reddy had start- nd nut hunting togctlicr, but had anon separated. In this way they ur-re more likely to he success- ful. Reddy was lucky. He had gone oicr to the open water of the Big River Sonietinies some- thing that he could ezit would be ivnshed down and would come out from unzior the ice. Somothing did this time. It iias a big fish. Something hiid ligiprmtictl to that fish far up the river. and ilie running water had brought it down the ice. It floated out in the open water just as Rt-ddy got there i

Contract Bridge By Josephine Culbertson

SLAM MA'i'ili-JMATICS

R is usually sound to redouble a ..lani'contract on ”pei'ceiitage.” Suppose the contract is six-odd oi H major suit, doubled. A suc- ccssful redouble accounts for 360 extra points. whereas if the con- tract goes down one. the loss from redoubling is only another 100 points. non-vulnerable. 200 points. vulnerable. Thus. the re- doubler in getting good odds.

It goes without saying. howevlr. lint these figures apply only when the redouble-r has every right to feel that a one-trick set will be Gte worst that can happen. The queation of "percentage" does not even arise in such a case as the

West laid down the diamond ace before loading a club. and though South ruffed the second trick and used dummy": singleton trump to saliage his own losing spade, the contract was still defeated two tricks for the not inconsiderable penalty of 1000 points.

It is plain that South's redouble of the seven-heart contract was an act of pure iinhridlc-rt optimism. South explained his own leap to seven hearts by sayiiig that he had thought North used an ace- showing motliod oi-er two-bids and Itherofore had announced the din- mond arc. but exactly how that card loven if North had held lit would have kept Soutli from los- ing A spade nnd or a hcnrt trick

It began to come in nearer and near er to shore. Reddy's mouth water ed, and his eyes gleamed. Cold as the water was. he waded out as far as he could. The dead fish drifted nearer and nearer.
