did. No, sir. she didn't believe it. She was sure that if Peter really had seen what he thought he had seen. those balby Snakes were being swallowed for a dinner, and not for

of the Old Bi-iar-patch. Just a little outside this was I big that rock. on it she discovered baby snakes. Then 1 grown snake suddenly appeared, and those baby Snakes disappeared. Mrs. Peter couldn't be sure whether the old Snake had picked them up in her mouth, or whether they had run into her mouth. But she was sure that was where they had disappear- ed. She was still wondering about it. when along came Bowse-r the Hound and startled the old snake. She ooued and hissed, but Borwser paid no attention to her. He wasn't interested in snakes and went on. Mrs. Peter watched him out of sight and then turned'to look at that Snake. She was just in time to see two little snalkes come out of the old Snake's mouth. At just that moment Peter joined her. He had been napping back in the heart of the Old Brier-patch. His eyes look- ed as if they would fairly pop out of his head. Yes, air, they did so. "What did I tell you?" he cried. "Now. perhaps, you'll believe me. Look at that!"

Mrs. Peter didn't need to be told to look. She had been looking all the time, and she saw what Peter had seen, a third little snake come out of its mother's mouth. Anyway, Peter and Mrs. Peter supposed that the old snake was the mother of the babies. How could it be other- wise?

quite beside himself. ”You see, I was right!" he cried. ”Don't you think it is wonderful? The idea of saying that mother Snakes have no love (or their babies! The very idea! But that is what some folks do say. Now, my dear, you see how right

again. That is what Peter said and she had to agree. so it must be true that some mother Snakes did

be done'to give South any chance

for the contract.) East carefully played the spade six on the queen. but went, not wanting to give up

to round out his contract.

The moment the last trick was turned. East took West severely to task for not observing East's spuie "signal" -- ie, for not. taking the spade we and returning the suit. keeping a third spade with which to put East on lead. West retorted tartly that his own relusal to take the spade trick had not been I sound reason for East to discard three spades!

It seems clear that West, was entirely right. First, East might well have played the spade nine or ten as a more emphatic signal; second, it was giving up for East to discard three spades. There was no point in East's trying to keep club protection - if South had the A-Q or clubs, there was obviously no hope for the defenders.
