When Spooky the Screech Owl moved into ,the Old Orchard for the winter he received no warm, welccme from the folks ziireadyi living there, For from ii! lie was as unwelcome n5 Jack Frost ill‘ the middle of summer. Yes. sir.‘ he was so, And Spooky didn't, care. He didn't care a snap of his hooked bill. 'i‘lli.= was because he was self-sufficient, This means that. ho was independent. so com- pletely so that he had no use for friends and didn't maul any. some folks are like that, They cheat themselves, but don't know it, for they never have found out that

Spooky had happened ovcr in that part oi the Old Orchard one night hoping he might find a careless Mouse or two for he was hungry and, nothing suits a hungry little Owl equal to a Mouse for dinner.

Spooky didn't care what kind of

Meadow Mouse, a Wood Mouse, a House Mouse or some other kind of Mousc. Any Mouse would he a good Mouse. He wasn't disap- pointed. He caught a young Mend- ow Mouse in mi|chief, gnawing the bark from around the base of a young tree in a new part of the Old Orchard. Taking the hark from around the trunk of a tree is called girdling. When a Mouse eats the bark completely around e trunk the tree dies, for there is no way for the sap to go up lll the tree in the spring,

So that Mouse was in mischief; ‘he was killing a young ireef Spooky caught him. just in time to prevent that. 5pooky's wings! made no sound. The wings of, Owls are like that; they are iluslrf wings.

Zﬂlotqh lt can be argued that North might have gone more slow- ly, and that his leap from two to five diamonds "jammed up the Id’ cling." it was South who was really to blame for not being satisfied with a small slam. Certainly, after the two-diamond response to the opening spade bid. North had every right to count on a game at diu-

‘vznonds. and indeed from North's

point of vie-v, South did not need‘:

great deal to snake shrodd, assuming

a little luck in spades and or clubs. South should have stopped to think that his impressive heart

strength might easily be "duplic-

ation of values."

llowever, the fact. was that. South found himself in a, grand-slam con- tract, and it was up to him to bend

every effort toward its fulfillment."

lf West had opened a club. South would have had a difficult guess us to how l0 handle the spade suit for tile vital establishment of at least one trick, but actually West opened the spade eight! This should have given South food for thought!

Why should West, an experienced and shrewd player, lead into North's

ﬁrst-bid suit instead of attacking the unbld club suit‘) He might, 0f coilrse; be leading the top of nothing; but a more astute inter-

pretation was that. he had made a bold attack in spades to dil- cournge a finesse for the king which he knew the declarer would soon find lacking! Actually, South automatically reached for the spade ace, and later led the queen through East. for a rafting-finesse. thus losing the contract, whereas ‘an immediate bold finesse against West on the opening lead would i hue secured the contract.
