TIIOUBLE IN THE DEAR OLD DRIER-PATCH

Trouble anywhere is sad. But in the home is doubly sad. --Old Mother Nature.

Peter Rabbit was sale- That is he was sale for the moment. It had been a narrow escape. indeed 1;, had. Reddy Fox had so nearly caught Peter that he had pulled ii few hairs out at Peter": white tau. Peter dived headlong into one oi his private little paths in the dam Old Brier-patch where he knew Raddy couldn't or wouldn't iollow

He had found Po. ter in the Old Pasture and driven him out of there across the open Green Meadows to the dear Old 31'1"-hatch. Roddy Fox had seen this and had tried to head Petcr oil.

The bidding was rather informa- tiie. and when. on top of this. West led the queen of diamonds. the ex- pert declarer was able to iormulatc a very shrewd plan.

South rulied the first trick. then led a trump to dummy and ruiied a second diamond. Next. ignoring the opportunity to enter dummy and iinesse for the king of hearts. sauih slyly led a low heart toward the board. West hesitated, but he could see no need ior haste in putting up the heart king-"he could always win that trick"-and so he played low. Dummy's jack of ccurse won. and south then ruiied another dia- mond.

With the stage almost set. for tiw grand iinale. South drew West's

Undoubtedly. West regretted his previous decision regarding the heart kins. tor at this pclnt he was "stuck"! With nothing but clubs leit in his hand. he had to lead that suit. and this or course made south:-s club king good. The doubled con- tract was home.

The key of Souths plan was his realization that East ,who was marked with long diamonds headed by the ace-king. could not have the ace ct clubs or even the king of hearts-that with either of those cards. he would have opened the

he had had such a iright. Meanwhile. that Dog reached the dear Old Brier-patch. Mrs. Peterls

seemed to grow big with unbeliet and then irighl. That Dog was inside the Old Brier-patch. He hadn't stop- ped outside as Bowser the Hound would have. No, sir, he hadn't stop- ped at all. He actually was inside and still coming. Now and then he stopped barking to whine or yelp as a bramble or a brier scratched him He couldn't. run along those private little paths as Peter and Mrs. Peter could. but his legs were short and he could push his way through if he didnt mind being scratched, and it appeared that he didnt. He just kept right on coming.

Peter and Mrs. Peter didn't wait for him. Certainly not. They took to their lcng heels. not fast for even they couldnt run fast in those narrow little paths that in places were really tunnels through the tan- gles oi bric-rs. Mrs. Peter kept right at Peter's heels.

Now they had cut many paths in all directions through the dear Old Brier-patch. They crossed and re- crossed. They were wonderful for dodglng about in. in doing this they couldn't icol that Dog. No. sir, th-.-3' couldnlt do that. They could get out of his sight. but they couldn't get away from his nose. Wherever they might go his nose could lind the scent and he could follow.

Always thn dear Old Brier-patch had seemed to them the salest place in all the Great World. Bcwser the Hound never had tried to iollow one oi them in there. Flip the Ter- rier had tried it once or twice but had been glad to back out alter a minute or turn. None of the leather- ed hunters could get at them ir there. The only enemies small encugh to follow them in there were Shadow the Weasel and Billy Mink. and the latter seldom went as far as this irom water. Now here was a Dog who so loved to hunt that he was willing to be scratched and have his tender ears torn. The dear Old Brier-patch no ionizer was the same. It was no longer the safe place it. had been.

Outside Roddy Fox sat listening and grinning as he heard the yeips and whines of the small Dcg. Per- haps one of those Rabbits would ha- driven out. That was what Redd; hcped. It was what he was waiting for. There was trouble in the dear Old-Brier and Peter had brought it there. Mrs. Peter didn't let him (or- get that.
