Muskrat.

"It should teach him a lesson, but it wont," said Mrs. Jerry.

Just then the black ugly head of Snapper the Turtle was thrust out of water. He looked at Grand- father Frog struggling to get rid of that fish and dived. A moment later there was a great splashing by Grandfather Frog. Then he dis- appeared and the watci- became still. There was no siqii of Grand- father Frog, the fish, or Snapper the Turtle,

There was a question in the eyes

of Jerry Muskrat as he looked at Mrs, Jerry. Mrs. Jerry returned Fthe look. "Pm :ill'al(i we never will see Gr;iiidfathei- Frog again," said she. I "We'll miss that deep voice of his. I never did really like it. but we will miss it, just the same, replied Jerry.

old Snapper nearly buried in the mud. Wouldn't have seen him at all if he hadn't suddenly shot: his head out and grabbed a fish that was swimming past and didn't see him either. I guess that is the way he catches most of his food when he isn't getting an extra good din- ner by ptilling someone down front the surface."

He's a sneak hunter. That's what he is. a sneak hunter. and I hate him. He caught one of my children that way. I confess I am afraid of him and of Mrs. Snapper my- self," said Mrs. Quack. "Too bad about Grandfather Frog. The SmilingiPool will miss him," she added.

”And I for one don't know if -it will be it good miss or a sad one." said Jerry Muskrat,

"I'll miss him too. I rather liked the old fellow even though he did try to catch one of my babies once when they had first taken to the

PLACING THE BLAME

The grand-slam contract in the following deal was the result of a mental lapse on North's part. but it was not he who was re- sponsible for the sad outcome.

course, when he bid live diamonds. showing one ace. over South's four notrump. but the following five-notrump call, asking for kings, drew the foresaid lapse from North. Hts six-spade response pur- ported to show three kings - and North could not make good that promise.

Incidentally. however. South's rzraxid-slam bid was a stretch, even p he'd been given.

West made his iialural lead, the king of cliamoziris. scum igsii iiiiti promptly ruffed a diamond, re- turned to the ace of hearts and riitfed another diamond, then led to the king of hearts and tried for a third diamond ruff. East. happily over-ruffed dunimyis low trump. and the contract was down one.

Granting that no guaranteed plan of play was available for the ambitious contract, the fact

remains that South's chosen meth- od was not the best. It was safe: to try for the establishment of dummy's club suit, i.e.. to "re- verse the dummy." south should have drawn the otttstanding trumps inimcdiatcly, then cashed the club ace. ruffed a club, and cross-ruf- fed diamonds and clubs until,thc king was ruffed out. A reasonable club break was the only require- ment for success with this line. ztssuniiii: the normal 2-1 trump break that was needed any event.
