Oredulity is believing without quatlon anything anybody tells vou. Long ago Peter Rabbit learn- rd how very. very foolish this is .In fact. it nearly cost i.im his hie more than "once. Now his young son. Ragged-Ear, was learning how foolish and dangerous credulity is. and in place of it he had become distrustful.

It was a long time SlliCf' he had seen anything of Reridv Fox. ll Raddy had been anywhere in the neighborhood, he had managed to keep out of sight. "I guess he's given up trying to catch me. I guess he knows now that I'm too smut for him,” tnozight the ynuii: Rabbit more than once. Oi coui':c it was s foolish thing to take all the credit. to himself. It is never well to think one: self too smart.

Ragged-Ear had grown fast. He was really big now. From a dis- tance Roddy had seen him often. and more than once as he watclicct hLs mouth had watcrcd.

nut hels youm: .mri tender." You see, Rieddy wnuidnlt admit. even to himself. that he couirlzi”. catch RaggedyEar.

Not far from the bramble-tangle under which Ragged-Ea: was liv- ing. was a tumbled down stone wall. and just beyond this. on the Green Meadows, grct sweet. clover. Ragged-Ea: always felt quite safe when he went out for a dinner of that clover. There were many pla-

co: in that old .111. onenlr-5'8 bf- tween the big stones. when he felt .quite safe. He knew that no one In big as Roddy Fox could possibly

youigct at him there.

So. when he went to feast on clover. he wouldnt have to run 'way back to the bramble-tangle in Iorder to be safe. It wasn't much Imore than a. hop. skip and a jump jfrom the sweet clover to the old wall.

However. this feeling of safety .didn't make him careless as such a feeling so often makes some folks. 'l-le never failed to first look and .l:s:cn and make sure that the way Itvas clear before leaving the bram- blt--tangle. V

On the way back. he always stop- ped at the old wall and made sure "that the way was open before start- 'ing for home. Every day Ragged- :Ear was learning how to Take care of himself.

I So. altiiotigh he saw lljihlng of lRecldy Fox for a long time, he did Innt forget Roddy. Nor did Ready ii"-iox forget Ragged-Ear. "I'll catch 'him one of these days as sure as jme tip of my tail is white." dec- 'lared Reddy more. than once.

. Now Roddy has always made it lhls business to know all that er!) the found out about his lielghbfV5 Iand their habits. He knows when land where they work and rest and eat and play. In course of time. he Ifotmd out all these things about Ragged-Ear. But there was one thing he didn't find out, became he couldn't find out. That was that a fcertain place under that old wall 'was a hole in the ground leading 'dc-un to a snug chamber. One of I.lohnny Chucks family had dug 1 that long ago. Ragged-Ear knew all I about that hole.

Ready found out that Ragged- Ear visited the clover every night, usually very late at night. returning home Just about the time jolly round Mr. Sun began his daily climb up in the blue. blue sky. Af- ter he had made sure that this was a regular habiz, he stole around through the Old Pasture to a. hid- lug place close to the little path the young Rabbit. used going to and from the clover yatch. He got. there a little before it would be time for Ragged-Ear to return home. He felt very. very sure of that Rabbit dinner this time,

Now it just happened that Rag- ged-Ear stayed in that clover patch a little longer than usual. Perhaps

he was a little hungrier than usual. Anyway. before he started for home jolly. round, bright Mr. Sun had climbed high enough for a. ray of sunlight to get in among the bu- shes. Stopping as usual at the old wall to make sure that the way was clear. Ragged-Ear saw that ray of sunlight touch something red in the bushes. That was enough. Quietly he slipped back behind the old wall. and made for that old un- derground Chuok home. He had guessed what that spot of red meant.

The declarer had a difficult problem in the following deal. but an opponent solved .. for him.

North's secondary: heart raise was rather odd, on his 4-3-3:3 distribut- ion -- three notrump would be preferred by almost every expert but the final heart contract turned out to be quite all right.

West made his natural opening '

lead. the club quecn. and, when the dummy was spread, south saw that he would have to make the right guess for 10 tricks. He was sure to lose two diamond tricks; he might also lose to the spade king and the heart. king. Should he take the spade finesse or the heart” finesse? There was no way of knowing which king. if Either, was on side.

After some reflection, South put up dummy's club ace and led the spade queen. West jumped on the tuck with his king - and after that, south had no problem. Using the spade entry in dummy, he na- turally iecl the heart jack through East. and the latter's king was trapped.

It might have been It different story if West had unhesiiatingly let the spade queen rain the trick. it is true that south might have sens,- ed the true situation .nd shifted to hearts. but how could he tell? Certainly, it would be tempting to

o ahead with iheisecond spade inesse. and if he chose that course he would immediately come to grief.

It was not too difficult for West to visualize Souths dilemma and to lull him into a false sense of security in the spade suit,
