Jerry Muskrat was far from his home in Pool. He had left it to go out and Ice 3. little of the Great World. He was seeing much more of the Great World than he had dream- rd of, By accident he had been carried far away by the Big River. Now. he was once more ashore. the moat lonely Muskrat in all the Great. World. Right there a llillllv ber of Muskrats were living. but he wasn't welcome among them. They didn't want him around. Either they would have nothing to do with him. or they shoucd iheir teeth. and drove him out. Jeriy was homesick. Homesickiiess is one of those ills hardest to bear. Jerry made up his mind that he would go back hon." as fast as his legs could take him.

But where was home? The Big River had twisted and turned. It had wound this way and that. How was Jerry to know uliich may to an. To begin with he start-

But there were other things. He Ifallilili. I Crayfish ,and once he found a small fish uashed up on the shore. While Jerry lives most- - ly on vegetable matter, a great; variety of plants, he does like fish; and sorretimes a. little meat. He especially likes Clams, and Cray- fish.

Once, he dodged in tinder some iroots just. in time to escape being iseen by a tough old Mink. The latter must have had something on his mind, for he swam right fpast those roots without even look- i hit: under -them. i It was his second day on that' ibrook that Jerry hail a out-er feel- linp.

”I'm not heading home," thought he. "I'm going the wrong way,"

This was true. lie was going in the wrong direction altogether. To go in the right direction he would have to leave the brook, He would have to travel over land until he reached water again. and there is nothing that Jerry hates to do more than to travel on land any distance from water.

Jerry decided to travel by night. He felt that there would be fewer folks to see him then. That very night he turned his back on the brook. and headed in the right direction. How did he know it was the right direction? He didntknow himself how he knew, but he knew. He had ivhat is called the hom- iniz instinct. It was as if home was sending a radio message. tell- ing him wliicii way to go. Most of the Green Forest II the Green Meadow folk have that homing

contract Bridge A

By Jauphlno Culbertson

THE WRONG CAR

Many enci-plays succeed only be"- cause the defender thrown on lead selects the wrong card of the "must" suit for his exit. Here: an example:

South dealer. - Both sides vulnerable.

more comfortably by starting with spades, so he chose that bid even though his heart suit was longer. North's two-club response wu simply n fancy effort to show a, fair hand - I. too fancy effort. since I. simple raise to two made; would have covered North'- vaiueu. The final contract, how- ever, was normal enough, though optimistic. y

West led the king and (cg of diamonds. Declarer ruffed. drew three rounds of trumps. then 3 low club. It was obvious that two clubs and the diamond would have to be lost: hence the fate of the contract hung on whether or not South would have to concede a spade trick. This looked all to like- ly - but declarer saw 1 oertiin chance. .

East won the club lead with the jack and returned the club four. South went up with the ace and promptly exited with his last club.

East was now back on lead, with the club king, and was in precisely the position that declarer had hop- ed for. -The club suit had broken 3-3. so East had no card left in that suit with which to exit. A diamond return would let South ruff in his own hand while dummy discarded 8 spade. so East decided to lead the spade six. South put in the eight. and West had to sacrifice his jack. The king won, and South flnessed to the ace-ten, against East's queen. If East had selected the spade queen instead. of the six, it would have been a different story.
