....?..:..........as.. mischief. Two were on the other bank. They were dressed in brown. They were the kits of Mrs, Joe Otter, who was swimming about below them, and coaxing them to come for a swim with her. Now their mother, like their father, Little Joe Otter. is awonder- fui swimmer. All Otters are wonder- ful swimmers. They are as much at home in the water as other folks are at home on land Mother Otter was showing her kits what fim it was to swim and dive, and how perfectly at home she was in the water. But. for all her coax- ing, the two little Otters remained right where they were at the top or the bank

Presently. Mother Bear came back. She ioined the cubs and stood watching Mrs Otter in the water Mrs. Otter stopped playing about. She dived, The kits on the opposite bank leaned forward and watched the water, Presently they began to look worried. Where had mother gone” What had become of her? She Was gone so long that even Mother Boar began to wonder if something could have happened to her, or if she had deserted her little ones. Then. without warn- ing, Mother Otters brown head

popped out of the water at the ivery place where she had disap-

peared. In her mouth was a fine fat fish, The very sight of it made the mouths of the two small Bears water. Mother Bear looked over at it rather longingiy. Mother Otter put the fish down at the edge of :he water at the foot of the bank. She took a bite from it, and licked her lips as she ate it. "Come along down and get some." she coaxed.

THE FRIENDLY ENEMY

South's game contract below was shaky, to put in mildly. but he had a friend in the emeny's camp. South's jump rebid in a new suit was not justified; his hand called for I simple two-heart rebid. If North had to pass to that call it was scarcely likely that there would be a sound play for game,

spades, was also rather exuberant, but if he had bid only three spades, south undoiibtediy would have carried on to game.

West opened the club king, last played the deuce, and decisrer tos- sed on his jack. In West's defense. it is only fair to report that he thought about leading the club ace too, but his partner's deude had been impressive, so West shifted to the diamond queen,

This was very nice for dcclarer. He won with his blank ace, cashed the spade ace, then crossed to the board with a heart and discarded his club ten on the diamond king. He was quite willing to give up two tricks in trumps since he could well hope to run the heart suit without loss. He didn't know, of

break badly, and if he had known, there was very little he could have done about it.

South was also unaware that East. instead of being an opponent was an ally In this hand! That fact soon emerged. however, because when a trump was led, from dum- my. East hopped right up with his king! West's queen fell. and now, having saved a trump loser, South wasn't. bothered by the break of hearts. He ruued East's diamond return. drew East's ten of trumps. and could alford to chuckle when East showed out on the following heart lead. South simply gave West 'the heart jack and claimed the balance.
