lly Thornton While the sun shines make your l)’ Ready for a rainy day. —Little Chief Hare.

Little Chief Hare. who isn't a Hare at all but a Pike, was as busy a small person at; was to be found in all the High Mountains. Happy Jack Squirrel and the other Squir- rel cousins are no thrlfticr and no harder workers _ln the season of nuts and seeds than is Little Chief Hare on sunny days in haying time. While the Squirrel folk fill storerooms with nuts and seeds, or bury them where they can find them in time of need. small, busy Little Chief cuts. makes and stores 3W5)‘ Bmllﬂh hay to last him through the long winter until green things appear again.

Paddy the Beaver is a lumber- man. cutting down trees, then cut- tini; them in short pieces and stor- 1118 these in a pile tinder water in hi-s pond. There under the ice "my Will keep him supplied with bark. which is the food he likes best. He makes a big food pile ln the water so that he-is sure of enough to eat no matter low long the winter may be. In like manner Little Chief is a haymaker.

In summer Little Chief lives on sreen grass and other plants just as do Peter Rabbit and Johnny Chuck. But ln winter there are no green things growing way up there on Lhe High Mountain. In his home way down among the rocks Little Chief is snug and com-

him. Neither can the cold winds nor snow. But he must eat. Of course. You see, he isn't one of those who can store up food in the form of fat under their skins and then sleep through most of the coldest weather. So he must look ahead; must get food while he can and store away enough to lest him all winter.

Long, long ago when the world was young his family learned the gentle art of~making hay and ever since all Pika’: have been hay- rriakers. It isn't enough to just cut grasses and other plants and store them away as soon as cut. They would simply wilt and shortly become sour and mouldy, unfit to eat. They would become decayed and no good at all. When Farmer Brown cuts the grass on the Green Meadows he leaves it lying where it falls long enough for'the sun to dry it out. Then when It is dry he stores it away in his barn. l-ie never cuts on a rainy day and he never puts his hay away in the barn while wet. He knows just when to cut, just how long to let it dry, and Just how to store it away so that it will not spoil. Little Chief Hare knows these things Just as well sis does Farmer Brown. They are equally good haymalrers. Little Kid Surefoot, the very small because very young son of Billy and Nanny Surefoot. the Mountain Goats, had teased Little Chief to play with hlrri but Little Chief declared he had no time for play. His home was somewhere in a great rock slide, a great jumble of blg and little rocks among which nothing could grow. Beyond the edge of the rock slide were small places where grasses arid other plants grow. They were Lit- tle Chief's hayfields.

Little Kid watched him run out from the rock slide, with his sharp teeth cut a small bundle of grass and other plants and carry this

-it and do his part in drying it out.

back onto the rook slide. He didn't take it down into his home deep mong the rocles. He spread his cutting out on a pile already dry at the foot of a big rock where jolly, bright Mr. Sun could get at

yet where it would be sheltered from rain. He was very careful to spread it so that Mr. Bun could get at all of it. He was fussy about this. Anyway Little Kid thought so and wanted to know why.

"Until all of it is dry 1 can put no more 0n top of it." explained Little Chief.

"Why not't"_ asked the small Goat.

"Because i! I pile more on top while some is still not dry it can't dry and will spoil. That will spoil the rest," explained Little Chief.

Plays that would be absurd at rubber bridge may be the essence of shrewdness atmatch-point dup- liicate. Here is a notable illustra- t on: .

At every table except one, South opened the bidding with one heart. and eventually reached a very comfortable four-heart! contract.

At one table. however, South got a- little fancy and started out with one notrump. North Jumped straight to three notrump — rather too enthusiastically for his holdlngl-and after that, the heart suit was not even mmtioned! West made his natural lead, the spade ten. The jack was played from dummy. and the moment it held the trick. South could see all too clearly that the other Souths who were in a normal four-heart contract would end up with five- odd, wheres-s he ‘himself would apparently win only three spades. five hearts and two clubs at no- trump. Rather than accept what was bound to be a bad match- point score on the board, this South determined to risk every- thing on an effort to make five notrump. To that end, he non- ehalantly led e. diamond from dummy at the second trick!

East was alert and put up the diamond queen, then doggedly led a second round of the suit. West, however. was more gullible! lie won with the diamond ace but. apparently quite impressed by the fact that South had started to lead diamonds, West shifted beck to spades!

South won the spade return with the king an ran every heart. dis- carding a club from dummy. Welt promptly threw away his seven of diamonds, forcing East to guard that suit, and a double squeeze developed! West had to keep two spades and therefore could not guard clubs; East. had to keep a diamond. When South finally led to the spade ace, East had to give up his club stopper and permit South to win three tricks in that suit. So South got his "top" af-
