AN INTIIBUPTED FEAST In wisdom he is little schooled who by his appetite is ruled.

-Old Mother Nature

Kor the first time in days Buster

car was happy. Yes. lit. he WI! happy. He still had a sore paw. so sore that he could not touch it to the ground without making a face because it hurt so. Despite this he was happy. He was happy be- zausc he was filling his stomach with blueberries, nice, ripe. plump blueberries. and Buster is very; very fond of blueberries. That shows his good taste.

Those berries were growing in the old Pasture. There was a place there where the ground was damp. a place just suited to blue- berries, the kind that grow on high bushes. Up in another part of the Old Pasture where It was dry, the ground was blue. or seem- ed to be, with berries. They were .sm:liP:' :u.d sweeter berries than ih.'..(; gruwmg on the high bushes and grew on bushes only a few in- ches high. Buster liked the ones growing on the high bushes be- cause he could sit up comfortably beside a bush, pull the branches over to his mouth with his one good paw and strip them of their berries with the greatest of case.

For the time being Buster for- got everying but what he was do- ing. He forgot that he was no longer in the Green Forest where he belonged. i-Ic forgot that he was out in the Old Pasture where he was likely to be seen. He forgot that there was anybody or any- thing else in all the Great World but himself and those blueberries. That was a mistake. It is always a mistake to forget where you are or your surroundings. Especially is it a bad mistake for Green Forest and Green Meadow folk to make. night then all Buster thought of was his stomach and the goodness of those berries go- ing into it. He was having a. feast and he could think of nothing else.

Now. unknown to Buster. Blacky the Crow had followed him from the Green Forest. He had followed by flying from tree to tree kec-ping Buster in sight but himself out of sight. He was do-

AN UPPER-BRACKET ERROR.

The defensive play made by East in today's deal, which had melt a fatal outcome. is the sort. of mistake more likely to be sommiited by I pretty fair player hair by a novice.

Psu Pun Pan After the three-spade opening and South's four-heart overcall.

West could not well afford to pass, and the penalty double seemed more logical than a blind bid of five clubs. Since, in actual fact. the four-heart contract should have been defeated, and five clubs could not have been fulfilled, West's judgment was sound.

Naturally. West opened his sing- leton of partner's suit. East's jack was takenby the ace. and South returned a spade with the obvious intention of ruffing his third spade In dummy -- if he was permitted to do so. West discarded a club and East won the trick with the queen. .

East made the correct shift, to a trump. but unfortunately. for his twn side. he selected the six-spot. Apparently feeling that there might be some future value In the nine. South went up with the king of. hearts and West won with the

ace. West. gave thought to laying down the trump jack, to cover

:lummy's ten and thus prevent a spade ruff, but it certainly looked as though this play would surren- der I trump trick -- as it actually would if South had the nine. So West chose to return the jack of diamonds. That wound up the defense -- South lost only one spade and two hearts.

Observe that if East had led the trump nine instead of the six, West. would have had no problem -- after winning with the heart ace he would naturally lay down the heart jack. it is hard to im- nglne what conceivable value the nine could have for East!

ing it out of curiosity. He wanted to find out where Buster was go- ing. Now his curiosity was satis- fied. He flew over high above Buster and began to caw.

”Caw. caw, caw!" shirked Blaoky at the top of'his voice. ”Caw, caw. caw!"

Everybody whoiheard him. and he is always heard for a long distance. knew that something unusual was to be seen in the Old Pasture. So everybody who heard

lacky stopped what he was doing and listened. Over in the Dear Old Briar-patch Peter Rabbit and Mrs. Peter listened.

"Someone is over in the Old Pasture," declared Peter.

”There always is someone over in the Old Pasture." roplied Mrs Peter dryiy.

"You know what I mean" retort- ed Peter 11 bit sharply. "There is someone over there who doesn't belong there. Blacky doesn't make such a fuss, doesn't get so excited over folks who belong. I wonder who it can he."

”Caw, caw. caw!" came Biacky's voice. '

Peter made a funny little hop right up in the air. ”Do you know what I think?" asked Peter.

"No. I don't. What is more I don”t want to know,” retoried little Mrs. Peter. You see. she knew, that Peter was just itching to run over to the Old Pasture.

"I think Blaoky is calling, 'Br.-arl Bear! Bear? That's what I think."

Somebody else was thinking the same thing. it was Roddy Fox. You know. Roddy and Mrs. Reddy live in the Old Pasture.

Another heard Black)? and caught his excitement. It was Farmer Brown's boy. He could

see Blacky. a tiny speck in the dis- tance. ”Bivacky secs someone over where the bluberrles grow. Per- haps somcone is stealing our .ber- ries. !'ll'just run over there and find out," thought Farmer Brown's boy. And that's just what he did. Buster heard him coming. He snatched one more mouthful of berries. then limped back into the Green Forest. His feast had been interrupted and he didn't like it.
