A gueu is but I guess 'till you Have proved that what you

Roddy Pirvx and Mrs. Reddy are what is called a team. That means 'iint they work together. they ;i1.1l'F. things. Not only do they lil.'lrP thintzs good to eat, but they iliare information. they share jmger. They share all sorts of hmgs that go to make up life. in all the Green Forest and on all the Green Meadows there is in other couple that shares life npether quite so thoroughly and 'i;1ly as do Reddy and Mrs. Roddy rhev are a perfectly mated couple.

neddy Fox had made a dis- -nrery. He had discovered that shadow the. Weasel was spending iiuch of his time on ,or around. i pile of stones at the edge of Green Forest. Every time had passed that Way for the past. Yew days he had seen slmdow there. Usually he was wetclied out taking ,, sunbath. tluays Roddy pretended not to see 'iLlll. But each time as he strolled ;i.:si just a short distance away. no watched Shadow from the -um:-rs of his eyes, and he made

what Roddy didn't say so right on.

"You are Shadow is somewhere in the neigh- borhood. In other words. you think she probably is in the house. and Shadow is keeping watch outside when you see him on those stories." said Mrs. Reddy.

l pile of stones. He guessed that Shadow had a home under, or close to those stones .

Reddy told Mrs. Reddy what he that. he suspected something. He asked her to guess what it was he suspected. There was a twinkle in the sharp eyes of Mrs. Raddy, she knew exactly suspected, but she

that Mrs

twinkled more than ever. "You would.” said she. ”I would what?" Reddy wanted to know, looking .1 bit surprised. "You would stirpect more," rctorted Mrs. Roddy, "What more would I suspect?” demanded Raddy. ”You suspect that Mrs. Shadow isn't alone in that home. wherever it is," '. ”You are a good gizcssrr.” declar-

srmie t hing

ed Roddy. "I suspect that there are babies in that home. The very fact that I haven't seen Mrs. Shadow makes me sure that she is staying at home most. of the time, and she wouldn't be unless she had babies to take care of. So. I am sure that there are babies there.”

Mrs. Reddy nodded. "Probably you are right." said she. "But. what of it?"

This time Redd,v's grin was a little broader. It suggested that he

was thinking of something pleasant. "I've never tried them. but I have an idea that young

Weasels would make a very good dinner, At least, they would be tender." ,

”That in more than can be said for an old Weasel." declared Mrs. Roddy. "I can think of several other folks I would rather catch than a Weasel. Still. I suppose if I were liiinery enough. a .Weasei would do. As you say. young Wea- seis would be tender."

"And they would be easier to catch." said Roddy.

"True," agreed Mrs. Reddy. "But I'.m not going to waste any time watching for them. I don't. want them that. much."

”Nor I." replied Roddy. "How- ever. when we are over that way it will be well to keep our eyes open. One of us might get an un- expected dinner easily. There is nothing like knowing what to watch for, and where to watch for it. But it won't do to let. Sha- dow know we are interested. He is smart. is Shadow the Weasel,"

”And he is as ouick and bold as he is smart." declared Mrs. Reddv. ltl don't like him, I never did like him. But I have to admit that I admire his smartness. his quick- ness, and his boldness."

able opponents, West might have tried to capitalize the special power of the spade suit by pre- empiing with three spades over one heart. North might and might not have come into the action at the four-level, and although south, or course, would have taken further action, the North-South partnership might well have atop- ped short of the slam.

West. opened the diamond ten, and East captured dummy's jack. East thought for a moment about 5 returning a diamond, but with South leaping to six hearts it was almost inconceivable that it; was West who had the singleton dis- mond, so East shifted to a spade. l South won with the blank ace and ran off six trump tricky, - keeping one trump for some pur- pose that must remain obscure.

West had been forced to make quite a. few discards. but he kept a firm grasp on his original four clubs and the lone spade king. Now, obviously committing himsell to a 3-3 break of clubs, declare: led to the ace. back to the king, and hopefully laid down the club queen. No luck - West's club jack won the setting trick.

There. was no possible reason for South to hold the last trump. but an excellent reason for cash- ing it. Laying down that card would have squeezed West. un- mercifully. (As a matter of fact, it would have effected 3. double squeeze since neither defender could have guarded clubs) If West gave up the spade king, the queen would be fairly easy to cash; and if West let go a club. South's tour clubs would'be good.
