Happy Jack Lies Flat

By Thornton W. Burgess

Pity tlzuse who helpless lie; Nothing may they even try. -Old Mother Nature.

To be helpless is dreadful. Happy Jack Squirrel was alone and help- less to do anything for ltiinselt. He u-as on an old log drifting out on the water that covered the Green Meadows. A very loiit-'. Blld very hard rain had let so much water fall from the clouds that it could not be carried off as fast as it fell. and so there. was a great flood. V

Happy Jack had been a frll.:h3- encd squirrel ever since he had been carried out on the water by that old log. Now he was still more frightened. He had discovered high up in the sky a last-moving speck. He had known at once that that speck was King Eagle. He knew what wonderful eyes King Eagle has. What if King Eagle should lee him sailing on that old log and should swoop down to catch him.

What could he do? There was noth- hi

ing he could do but Jump into the water and there he would be as helpless as he was on the old 108- There was nothing to hide under or in. There was only one thing to do and that might not help him. However, he did it. He flattened himself down on that log as flat IS he could get. He just hugged that old log. Had you been looking at him from a little distance. you probably would not have seen him at all. You would have thought he was part of that old log.

He flattened himself down on that to: as flat as he could get. "Did King Eagle see him? Hadt he seen him before he flattened. himself on the old log?" Happy, Jack wished he knew. But therri was no way for him to know. So. he hugged that old log. making himself as flat as he could. his .

big tail spread out behind him flat on the top of the old lug, he pro- bably was frightened as he had ever been in all his life. Per- haps he was even a little more frightened.

It wasn't often that Happy Jack Squirrel had ever felt as com- pletely helpless as he did now. It was a terrible feeling. it would have been bad enough had there; been anything the matter with him. There wasn't. There wasn't a thing wrong with him. yet he couldn't help himself in the least.

It was true that King Eagle had

passd right over Happy Jack and had made no sign that he saw him. The truth was. King Eagle did see those two Chucks in a tree. and he did see Happy Jack Squirrel on the old log, but he wanted fish for breakfast that day. From a long distance away he had seen Plunger catch that fish. and now he intended to get that fish for himself. So he was flying fast

to get right above the big Fish Hawk. The latter saw him coming and was flying faster than ever, but he couldn't fly fast enough. Even if he had had no fish to car- ry and so he couldn't fly his fast- est. He could only hope that he could keep away from King Eagle long enough to make the latter give up the chase.

i. one club. With two five card suits, it is customary to bid the higher ranking suit first. but when the suits are spades and clubs. an exception is made and the club unit is named first. The purpose behind the exception is to conserve bidding space.

For example. if you open with one spade and partner responds two diamonds, a three club bid is in order. but sends the bidding to a relatively high level. Further- n-l0l"6. if partner's rcbid is three diamonds, no landing spot has yet been found and no safe procedure is available.
