If we start off by analyzing South's bidding. we will find no flaw. His one-club approach hid. his two-noti-ump rebid, and his final call of three noirump over North's three diamonds, were uni- formly logical. North's one dia- mond response did not promise very much; hence South could not afford a stronger rebirl than two noirump; and when North then non-conimlttedly went to three diamonds. South had no choice but to bid three notrump (or craven- ly pass!)

The fault, then ,for the partner- ship's failure even to investigate slam chances was exclusively North's. That player did not ap- preciate the potential value oi’ his diamond suit, to say nothing about his spade queen. If’ south, merely on the assurance that he would find some diamond strength 0p- Dosite him, could afford to con- tract for two notrump and slm.

said he. "That is what they call me. Did you over see anybody ivilh three legs who wasn't called that?"

"You are Lhc first. person with only three lugs I have ever seen- 1 thought l was the only one around. Did you have four once?" ieplied tht Muskrat.

"What a tiucstioll! Do you think Old Mother Nature would have given me only three? Of course I had four," retortcd the big Coon.

"So did 1," squeaked the Mlbikf rat. He sounded a bit znournful.

Three-legs the Coon grinned, but it wasn't a happy grin. "80 you did it, loo." said he.

“Did what?" asked Three-legs the Muskrat just as if hs didn't know.

"Stopped vrhere one of those terrible things with dreadful Jaws could leap up and grab you by a leg and never let you g0,“ said the Coon. He meant 1t steel trap.

"Yes," squeaked the Muskrat. "Yes, that is just what I did. 1 put my toot in it."

“And you left your foot in it." said the Coon, Just. aslif he knew all about it.

Three-legs the Muskrat shiv- ered as he nodded. "I had to," said he. "If I hadn't 1 wouldn't be here 110W."

"Did you twist it off or gnaw if; off with your teeth?" asked Three-legs the Coon.

The big Muskrat shivered again st the memory of what had hap- pened. "I twisted it off and it hurt terrible. You don't know how it hurt," said he.

"Yes. l do," Coon.

"Anti I nearly drowned while doing it," continued the Muskrat. He sliivered again.

‘Thai. dreadful thing grabbed you riszhi. in a place where you had been ever so miuiyy times be- fore and nothing hnd happened," said the other Three-legs.

"Were you there when it hap- pened? You seem to know all about it. It was on an old log partly in the water and partly on hind. l have sat on the 0nd of that log and opened clams more times than l can remember. There never had been anything wrong there before. Everything looked as it aIv/nys had. And then it jumped up ﬂlld Krtilibvri me and I fell back into the will?!‘ and I thought 1 never would got my nose out of We!" 1188i“ for air. I couldn't do anything to that thing to make it let go. I tried to bite iiz, but it didn't mind a all. All I did was hurt. my own teeth. Then I" -- The voice of Three-legs the Musk- rat raiirsd off and he shivered.

"Then you pulled and twisted this way and that way until you twisted that leg off." Three-legs the Coon finishtf. for him.

Three-logs the Muskrat nodded. That is how it was. It hurt fright- fuIIy. I don't like to think about it." said he. He shlvered again.

"l know," replied the big Coon. "You can't: irll nie anything about u. I hnd in use my teeth before i could got free, and I left. part o! my leg and my foot behind. I've ivaichﬂd my step, every step, ever since."
