Mistress Autumn is in her way quite as lovely s: sweet Mistress Spring. The latter comes robed in green of many shades and made lovely with flowers. She fills the air with perfume and the happy songs of many singers. She brings with her love and joy and dreams and many happy promises oi what shall be.

Mistress Autumn is robed in bright gold. vivid scarlet, deep crimson and dark brown. Her beauty is almost too wonderful for belief. She too fills the air with perfume, the rich scent oi ripened fruits, She brings no promises. Instead she fulfills the promises of Mistress Spring. She brings the joy of feasting and the sense of plenty, the feeling of well-being and contentment. the‘ happiness oi plans and dreams and hopes come true.

Jock Frost had pinched open the burrs on the beech trees and the Merry Little Breezes had shaken out the three-sided sweet little nuts for the furred and

these are many in the Forest. So wherever those sweet little nuts were to be found in! plenty there was sure in be found a party of Green Forest folk feast- ing on them or gathering them to stare them away for future feasts. These were the thrifty ones, the squirrel folk. In one place where the nuts‘ were most plentiful, were Lightioot the Deer. Mrs. Liflhtfoot and their twins, Mrs. Bcnr and her twins, the Grouse iamlrv, the Squirrel cousins and others. lt

double 0f six spades. True, that contract was too high, but West was not in a. position to know that, and it was perhaps as a rebuke to his "playing the prophet" that his fingers were led to n. very bad opening lead - s low heart!

This was, in eifeot. n magnliicient gift from West to South, but the latter, with the sort. of courtesy which is to be deplored at the bridge table, returned the COmpli. ment! He discarded a dlgmond iron dummy! After that. even though the missing diamond honors were on side, South had to lose s. diamond trick and a club.

It is hard to say which was worse _ West's opening lead, or South's discard from dummy on the] first trick. Surely. a diamond or; a club lead by West would have. been more logical; and as for‘ South's play - why discard n diamond. and then require both a club and a diamond ilnnesse, when, by discarding a club, the slam would came home if only the diamond

queen could be captured?

He wished he was somewhere else

was quite party. Yes, sir. ll- wss quite a party. Wouldn't you like to have been there to 5B0 it? Then Buster Bear arrived and never in his life had any one seen him in a worse temper. He had been kept up in a tree a long time by Jimmy Skunk. Then before he could get down Prickly Porky the Porcupine had kept him trced still longer. You see Buster Bear has

barbed little spears. So when he reached the happy party under the beech trees he was {rightfully cross and promptly drove every- body away, even Mrs. Bear and the cubs. Even if’ he hadn't been feeling so ugly he probably would have driven the others away for he ls naturally selfish. He thinks only oi himself.

From a sate distance the others wretched him rocllng about among the leaves on the ground for the little beechnuts of which he is very fond. l-Ie felt better now. Seeinﬂ all the others take to their heels and wings when he rushed in among them had in part at least. restored his self-respect, lost when he had been kept up in a. tree by two folks so very much smaller than himself.

"I guess they know now who is boss of the Green Forest." he. growled. talking to himself, sort of thinking aloud. “I'm not afraid of anybody in the Green Forest. who will fight. No, sir, I'm not afraid oi any one." He was trying hard to forget. Jimmy Skunk and Prickly Perky.

He stopped growling and boast- ing. He stopped hunting for beech- nuts. He stood very still looking slowly all around and listening. l-ie had an uneasy feeling that he was being watched by Some one whom he didn't see, and it wasn't one o1 those he had driven away. He could feel those eyes. Yes. sir, he could feel them. It wasn't a pleasant feeling.

Slowly he looked on all sides, his ears cocked to catch any tell- tale saund. A twig snapped in a shadowy place where young trees grew rather close together. Then in startled dismay he saw dimly a great form in among thetrees and instantly knew that it was Flathorns the Moose, largest 0i the Green Forest folk, whom he had not seen for so long that he had forgotten all about him. Quiic suddenly Buster felt less big than he had felt, and a lot less sure that he was boss of the Green Forest. He had s. feeling that he was looking at trouble and an awful lot of it. He was sure of it when he heard a grunt from Flat- horns, a grunt that had an ugly, threatening sound. He no longer thought of little sweet beechnuts. Then’ and there he lost his appe- tite. He wished he was somewhere else. He wished he hadn't boasted. Perhaps i! he pretended he hadn't seen Flathorns. didn't suspect he was near. Flathorns would take no notice of him and he could steal away. Flethorns snorted. Buster jumped.
