i.l'L ABNER

For every tau there's some excuse; Some wsy it can be put to use. -—Old Mother Nature.

Down the Crooked Little Path through the Green Forest shuf- fled Prickly Porky. Peter Rabbit knew who was coming even though he couldntyet see him. Whining fretfully and talking to himself, probably because he had no one else to talk to, there was no mis- taking him for any one else.

"To hear h-lm one might think him the most unhappy person in all the Great World, but he isn't. I doubt if he ls unhappy at all, Some folks complain most when they are happiest. Somehow, com- plllllllllg seems lci make them happy. That fellow would con- Dlaln about not having anything to complain about. Queer how some folks are that way, but they are. and nobody can do anything about it. I wonder what Prickly Porky has on his mind now. Prob- ably it ls’ nothing important. The less some folks have to complain about the more they complain. There he is now coming around a. turn. Thank goodness I don't have to shuffle along that way," thought Peter.

Then another sound was picked up by Peter's long ears. It was a sniff. There alas no mistaking it. It was followed by another sniff. Peter turned quickly. A Dog was coming along the Crooked Little Path. He was shilling on the bushes and leaves on both sides of‘, it to try to find out who if any- body had been along that way lately. .

Peter bounced over an old log beside the Crooked Little Path. Anyway, he jumped over it so sud- denly and so far that it looked as if he bounced. He crawled under a. pile of brush and squatted there perfectly still. Peeping out he could see Prickly Porky shuffling along from one direction and the Dog sniffing along from the other direction. If one or the other didn't turn aside they would meet. I suspect Peter hoped that neither would turn aside. A meeting of the two might. be exciting. He had a feeling that lt would be quite worth watching. He wondered which ‘would be first to see the other. He suspected it would be the Dog for Prickly Porky's eyes are rather dull. Besides, he wasn't looking for any one and he didrrt seem to care who might see him.

It was the Dog. He had sniffed along almost to the place where Peter had been. In a moment more he would’ have smelled Pe- ter's scent had he not heard Prickly Porky and looked up to see who was whining and complaining so fretfully. Of course, ho saw Prickly Porky at once. He stood still and stared and stared. It was

the first time he ever hadseen a Porcupine. Who could this queer- fellow be? He didn't look danger- ous. He seemed too slow and clumsy to be a good fighter. Even if he could light, the Dog wasn't afraid of him, and a fight would be excit- lng. Like most Dogs and some other 101k; he liked a good night once in a while , He felt lost llks one-now.

Bo with a sharp bark the Dog bounded forward to meet Prickly Porky. Peter would have hugged himself could he have done so. l-Ie crept out to the very edge oi’ the pile of brush that he might see better. What would Prickly P~rky do? There wasn't time for him to reach the nearest tree big

enough for hlrn to climb. He couldn't run away. It looked as if he would have to fight.

At the sound oi’ that first bark Prickly Porky looked up and saw the Dog. At once the t‘ d little spears called quills that were hidden in his coat stood on end, and their sharp little points point- ing in every direction. They seemed to Jump up out of the long hair of his coat. Such a funny look of surprise as that Dog had. He stopped short and for an instant stared. Then he barked again, an excited, threatening bark.

An old log lay beside the Crooked Little Path. Prickly Porky pushed his head beneath it and began switching his rather thick, clumsy- looking tail from side to side. The Dog danced back and forth around Prickly Porky looking for a. place to grab him, all the time bark as ii he would bark his head of . l-le came in close behind Prickly Porky. so quickly that he didn't even see it coming that tail slapped him hard across the side of his face and filled it with some of the painful little spears with which it was covered. The barks changed to yelps as the Dog rubbed his head on the ground, making those llttl wears hurt all the more. Finally he went whimpering home.

"I've got the best tail, the fight- lngest tail in the world," said Prickly Porky.

West opened the spade queen. South won with his own ace and

West persisted with his spades. leading the lack. The king was put up, and South smiled when he saw East's nine fall. South enter- cd his hand with a diamond and led his last spade toward the eight-five. West won with the ten, but the declarer was on safe ground. West eventually collected two heart tricks, but South took one heart. three 81194195. tWv d1!- monds and three clubs. '

West should have figured more closely the first time he regained the lead! The bidding marked East with virtually a worthless hand, but there was one card he might hold, of no importance in a bid- ding 'sense, and yet carrying the value of an ace in his deal! That card was the missing nine of spades. If South happened to have that card, West could "give up," because the enemy would have three spade tricks against West's toldlng. But if East had the spade nine — surely a fair chancel -the defenders’ cause was anything but hopeless!

' On that analysis, West should have led the spade seven, not the jack, at the fourth trick - and he would have been well reward-
