Usually. west became declarer at four or five spades. and lost only one spade trick and one diamond. thus scaling 650 points. At one table. however. the bidding went: ' 4-283 North East south 1 A Pass 2 O 3 Q run A Q I Q g.

West opened the club king shitt- ed quickly to the seven 01 hearts. East. collected three heart tricks. and on the third round West sign- slled with the nine oi spades. East. however. could see no 61'9" "1311 about leading spades; he reasoned that south could not get rid or h.s spades on anything in dummy. and so East returned his top club.

south, on expert. did not over- look his opportunity! He ruffed East's club return, went to dum- my wit.h a trump. and mfied still another club. leaving the club sev- en in dummy. South then ran off the rest of his trumps.

When the last trump was laid down, South's hand was reduced to the queen-ten of spades. West, who still had to discard. held the king- jaok oi spades and the club ace. -while dummy had the ace-three of spades and the seven of clubs.

Obviously, West was squeezed. if

he gave up his last club. dummyls seven would become good: so West naturally chose to blank his spade king. That. however. did not disturb southl He discarded dum- my'a club. then led the spade ten. Dummy's ace captured West's king, and the spade queen was good, By collecting only 500 points in. stead of 700. this East-West pair received a zero on the boardein. stead of the top which a spade shift by East would have given them.

All they could think of was food.

- m......e----: So that little ball of a house had

snug and soit. Oi course, it was dark. .Llttle folks in fur have no use for windows. By the time they are old enough to want to see out- side they are big enough to peep out the doorway. The doorway to this little house was just big enough for Mrs. Shorttail to slip through and no bigger. it was well hidden. Indeed the whole house was well hidden just under the auriace of the ground, much as Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse sometimes hide one oi their homes.

There were six 0! those babies. at iirst no bigger than a Honey Bee. Their mother was thankful there were no more. six were enough to look after. More would have been too many. It was no wonder that she had driven short- tall out or the house and told him to stay out. There was no room ior him there for those wee Shrews grew so fast they threatened to crowd their mother out.

At first they were tiny pink mites, but by the time they were 'two weeks old they were wearing little coats oi fine fur. and were crawling about inside the nest and over each other, and their mother while she was inside. In another two weeks mother had decided that they had been babies long enough. They had lull sets of sharp little teeth and she ielt that it was time they were using them to catch their om: iood. she had done all she could ior them. so now they must do for themselves. She wanted their room rather their company. Per- haps she was thinking that now Shorttall-whom she had driven out to make room for the children, could return. Anyway. she drove the children out into the Great world which. as you know, was really Just the dear old Briar- patch. I

Does that sound as ll they had a heartless mother? They didn't. They had a very good mother. She had done tor them all she oould do, and sending them out into the Great World, instead or babying them. she was proving what a, good mother she really was. They had much to learn about the Great World and how to look out for themselves, but these things could never be learned inside the house and she knew it. That is something that some doting and iathers seem never to know.

It just happened that Mrs. Peter Rabbit was in the neighborhood when one by one the young Shrews, as big as their mother now al- though so young. lett the snug lit- tle home and scattered in dliierent directions. One went this way. One went that way. Others went other ways. None paid any attention to brothers or sisters. None had thought for but one thing-some thing to eat.

They were born with big ap- petites and as they grew those
