left home he was less than three weeks old. His four brothers and sisters, who were Just the same age. had left home at the same time. Wee Mite didn't know it, but now he was the only one of the five lgiii living. Black Pussy the Cat had caught one. Butcher the Shrike had caught one. Reddy Fox had caught one. Kiily the Sparrow Hawk had caught one. Perhaps it was Just as well that Wee Mite didn't know these things. Perhaps iii he had know it wouldn't have made any difference to him. ex- cept that he would have learned more of the enemies he must watch out for than he now knew.

For a whole day and a night Mite had not had a single scare. in the lzfe of a Mouse a day and a night is a very long time. It had :seemed to Mite too good to be true. Now as he was cutting some tender lgrass for his breakfast. he heard Ia queer rustling noise. Right away he was suspicious. He stopped eat- ing, and listened. He had learned ,the wisdom of always being sus- Ipicious of a rustling sound. it

might be made by some hungry lhunter stealing through the grass in search of a Mouse dinner.

The rustling sound stopped. Then

path. At first he saw what looked to him like a black stick lying in the path. Then that black stick moved. It came alive. It wasn't a stick at all! It was the strangest looking person he ever had seen. He Iiad never seen any one at all like this person. He had no legs. he had no wings, and he didn't seem to need either. He moved al- ong as easily as Mite himself could TTIOVG.

The young'Mouse stared, and stared, and stared. all the time keeping perfectly still. He saw the stranger lift his head quite high. Hi: head was not big, but there was something about the unwinking eyes of the stranger that made the young Mouse feel most uncomfort- able. Indeed, it gave him some- thing of the feeling he had had when he saw Shadow the Weasel. "He doesn't look dangerous," thought Mite. "He hasn't a very big mouth, but somehow I don't like the looks of him. I wonder if I should or should not be afraid oi him."

He didnt have to wonder long. No sir. he didn't have to wonder long. He found out lll rather it dreadful way. The stranger had moved along until he came to 9. short-branclied path that led to a Meadowmouse home. Mite knew about that home. He had several times met the old Mouse that lived there. He knew that in that home were several baby Mice. This

3y Josephine Clubertaon .303MO0s309s200eiOOQ HIGHWAY ROBBERY! A psychic bid created quite I ”situation" in the following band.

North opened the auction inno- cently enough with one diamond and South, not so innocently. de- cided to repond with one heart - he felt that his hand was I shade too good for one notrump and not good enough for a two-club res- ponse. The heart bid naturally persuaded West to lie back, and when the contract ended up at three notrump with South deciuer, West made a somewhat resounding double.

As a matter of fact, west could not be sure that South's heart bid had been entirely psychic - South might have held a four-card or longer suit headed by the queen. And when West laid down the heart king on opening lead and his part- ner played the seven- spot, the picture was in no sense clarified. West had to guess about the heart situation - and he guessed wrong. He decided that he should try to put East in for a heart return through South, and to that end he shifted to a club. That suited South, who ran off iiine tricks without risking the spade finesse.

It would have been an excellent idea for West to lead the heart ace originally. since this lead a- gainst notrump contracts conven- tionally calls for the follow-suit

play oi! partner's highest card”

However, even on West's king lead, in view of the bidding and the revealed dummy East might well have helped West by playing the heart queen on the king. It was inconceivable that West had doub- led on anything but it very fine heart suit.

By the same token, West should have realized that if South really did have the guarded queen of hearts; defense was virtually lin- pouible. surely. considering the cards in sight, South had to have the high clubs.
