"Did you ever see anyone dodge out ot sight quicker than White- foot did when Hooty the Owl hooted?" asked Jumper the Hare.
Peter Rabbit chuckled. “The WHY that Mouse-disappeared one might think that l-looty was up on the nearest tree. yet he couldn't be much farther away than he was and be heard. I suppose that is what comes oi being as small as a Mouse.” said Peter.
"Don't forget, Peter, that White- Ioot was sitting out there in the moonlight where anyone might see him. I guess he never {eels really safe when lie is in the light. Probably Hootyls voice reminded him that the Mouse who lives longest is the one who is least often seen." replied Jumper.
"Listen! There's that singer again!" exclaimed Peter. He sat bolt upright and stared Into the darkness ivhere iile moonlight couldn't reach.
It was a song. There was no doubt about that. It wasn't much of a song as 5on8! 80, but it. was a song. not loud but musical, ra-

As may easily be imagined. the semi-freakish nature o! South's holding caused great variety in the bidding at the many tables. The overall picture was turther complicated by the fact that in some cases West opened the bid- ding win one spade; and that even when West passed, some Norths opened with one club. while others chose to pass
Several North-South pairs. trap- ped by the "duplication of values" reached six-heart contracts whicb were not notably successful! ln these cases. West doubled and open- r-d the diamond ace. Later, oi course. he had to be given a. trump trick.
As the cards lay, South could have made six diamonds or six clubs by double-finesaing against the J-l0 of diamonds. but a slam contract was not Justified. and the most successful pairs were those who chose three not-rump.

Since. in every case, West had spade or overcalled wiili spades, diamonds. it was rather remark. able that no deolarer considered of that suitl By putting in a dia-

whereas by ducking there was at least a chance to drive out the ace.
"Has Hooty been around?‘ he squeaked anxiously
ther subdued rippling little notes that had you been there to hear might have reminded‘ you of the trilling o! a Canary without being really like that, being lower and softer. It was repeated several times and seemed to come from where the Black Shadows were crowded closest. But Peter couldn't be sure of that. He long ago learned that some sounds sometimes do not come from where they seem to come from but from somewhere else altogether.
Whlteloot tho Wood Mouse poked his head out from around the end of an old log. He was very caiutious about it. "Has Booty been around?" he squeaked anx- iously. ~
"No", replied Peter soornfully. "He hasn't been anywhere near here. You ran tor nothing."
“Did I?" squeaked Whiteloot. "I've done it before. I've done it more times than I can remember. But if I always run away. even thourn it be tor nothing, I'll never make the mistake of not running when I should."
"Did you hear the singer?" Peter interrupted.
"What singer?" asked White- foot.
"The one we were talking about. He was singing right over where You were." replied Peter.
"How do you know where I was?" squeaked Vlliitefoot. "Did you see me in the darkness?"
"No." contested Peter, “but I saw in which direction you we t."
"Which doesn't mean a thilli ," declared Whltefoot. "You didn't see me over there in the dark?"
"No," repeated Peter. "How could I? But. wherever you were you must have heard that singer."
"I didn't say I didn't, did I?" storied Whiteloot.
He came tuliy out in the moon- light. and sat down, back to Peter. but close to the old log. ready to dodge around it into the darkness at the least alarm. Then that sing- ing began again.
“Now do you hear it!" cried Peter.
"Yes," admitted Whitefoot. “I did hear it, but I don't now."
“It came from right over there behind that old log." said Jumper the Hare.
(‘I'll go see i! there is any one there." Squeaked Whitefoot and scampered into the darkness be- yond the old log.
