He had discovered Lightfoot the Deer lying down as ii he were not feeling well, and Llgihttoot ' was without his antlers. He really look- ed quite helpless. His nntlers are his weapons. the things with which he fights. Every year, in winter. these weapons with many points drop off. Llghtfoot would gladly keep them it he could. but Old Mother Nature thinks that he has no further use for them until the (all or the year. so she takes them army ii-om him to keep him out or trouble with his neighbors.

Old Man Coyote was hungry. He was as hungry as he ever had been in all his life, and more than once he had been on Lie edge of star- vation, Ligihtfoot looked tempting- iy helpless. Old Man Coyote yielded to itemptatrlon and the demands or his stomach. He attacked Light- foot, and at once had a. most un- pleasant surprise. Lightfoot wasn't really sick after all. He wasn't feel- ing good. wasn't feeling himself, but wasn't really sick. He was on his feet before Old Man Coyote could get him by the throat as he had plarmed to do,

Lighttoot snorted and whistled and blew. I-Ie butted with his head, probably forgetting that he had no horns. Even so, Old Man Coyote was knocked sprawling. Then Lightfocit reared and struck down hard with the sharp-edged boots of his front feet. Twice Old Man Coy- ote received glancing blows, and they hurt snarling with rage, he did hLs best to get Ligihtioot by the throat. Falling in this, he tried to hamstring him to make him help- less. This means that with his sharp teeth he tried to cut a cord in one of Lightfoot's hindlegs. That cord out would make Lightioot

helpless. But Lightfoot didn't give

him I. ohance. He didn't nllow Old

Man Coyote to get behind him. He was surprisingly quick on his feet. Old Man Coyote was quick. but Lightioot was just as quick. and managed to face him at all times. It was after the second blow from one of those sharp-edged home. that Old Man Coyote decided that he; had had enough. In 'fact, he decided that he had had too much. He smarted where he had been cut, and he ached, In fact, one leg ielr quite useless. somehow he had lost his appetite.

In the beginning he was the one who did the attacking, Lightfoot was on the defense. Now it was the other way around. Dightfoot was doing the a'tta.cking. He was angry clear through The hair along his shoulders and on the back oi! his neck was standing on end. That is always a. sign oi anger on the part of Lightfoot, as it is on the part or some other folk, He was constantly plunging at Old Man Coyote, trying to trample him under those pointed hoofs. He kept Old Man Coyote dodging from side to side. He didnt even dare tum to run lest Light- foot strike him from behind. Also. -he was getting out at breath. He was getting tired, He had had so little to eat of late that he had lost much strength.

He was becoming badly worried. "I've got to get away!" he said over and over to himself. as he dodged this way and that way to escape those hoois. He had reason to be thankful that Lightfoot no longer had those antlers, but he wasn't thiuilclul. He wasn't thanlcful for anything just then.

Croaker the Raven was watcihing the right. He was in the top of a. tree just outside the Deer yard. His sympathy was really with Old Man Coyote. He actually hoped that Old Man Coyote would kill Lightfoot. Iif this happened, he, Ci-oaker. would have a chance to pick some bones. Indeed, he would have a chance to get more than one good dinnner, for he knew that Old Man Coyote C0llldIl't possivbly eat a whole Deer for one dinner.

"Kill him! Kill himi" crooked the big black cousin of Biacky the crow. Liglitfoot heard it and look- ed up. That was Old Man Coyote's clumcc, and he took it. He turned and ran as best he could to the edge of the yard and leaped out. Then he iloundered only through the snow. Lfghtfoot plunged after him. but only for a couple of plunges. He turned back into his yard.

South deserved credit for visualiz- ing the position oi cards that would let him make his contract in the following hand and for executing the right play, but a shade more ,ima.gi.nation on West's part would have been very helpful to the de- fense.

West opened his fourth-higihest heart. Dummy's ace was played, and deelarer immediately took the precaution of ruliing the heart queen, thereby eliminating that suit as a possible means or exit for the opponents when they won the lead. Now a low club was led to the ten-spot and a diamond was returned for the finesse. The queen holding, declarer returned to dum- my with a club, thereby drivwing the'outs'tanding trumps, led a low diamond, and when East played the nine, put in the deuce from his own hand. South had not overlooked the fact that West had played the diamond seven on the first round, and since the eight and nine had appeared from East, what was more likely than that West would have to win this present trick with the jack? i

That, at any rate, was the only chance - as declarer so truly analyzed. And. of course. South": hopes worked out to perfection. West, on lead with the diamond jack. was forced to mnkela. return that was fatal to his own cause. He had either to lay down tih spade see and thereby ”
