Experience is the greatest of all teachers. but sometimes a painful one. But those who learn through experience seldom forget. The small boy who tried to pick up Bumble Bee never tried again. He never forgot to treat all Bee folk with respect. In the same way experience made of Three-legs the Coon one of the smartest of all the Green Forest folk of his neighborhood. Having left that zirisslillil; leg in ‘the treacherous. a crue aws of a steel trap. he never . \ forgot tu watch his step, to be sus- .\\~~

Needless to lay. North-South's 30-point partial had some Inﬂu- ence on the bidding:

West North Inst South 1 4. Dble. l g 4 Q Pass Pass 5 4. 5 6 Pass Pass Pu!

East-West would have been sav- ed if West had happened to open a spade. but, more impressed by Easts five-club bid than by his non-committal spade call over the takeout double. West led s. low club. and that was all declare;- needcd! He let the lead ride to his own singleton queen.

Criticism of West's opening lead should be mild in the Ught oi.’ Easts inexcusable bidding! lf he had tried. he could scarcely have made his partner's position in the auction more dlfficuitl The one- spade bid over the double did not even vaguely describe the sort of hand East had, nor indicate his own game-going potentialities, As "594 b)’ the best players, this sort of bid over a double is, indeed. a warning that the bidder cannot stand the doubled suit, and. since he falls to redouble or to jump in another direction, the bid also im- plies lack of interest in any high contract.

Obi/lowly. East had no reason for such pessimism after West opened the bidding with a club, in which East had such length! East's distribution warranted a two-spade call. 'I‘his would have Elven West. the right to bid four Spadeaover four diamonds, and otherwise co-operaie in the later Flames oi‘ the auction.

Certainly. having failed prgvl. ﬂllslil. East might have bid four spades instead of live clubsl The latter call sounded to West like 1101111118 but. a desperate “save?

Four spades could have been de- feated by the singleton club lead

The young Coon grumbled, but he went on down the stream. He got quite a distance ahead ot Three-legs, who was moving slowly, stopping frequently to pull over stones, peep into holes in logs and stumps, look over care- fully everything that caught his attention. The young Coon had followed the edge of the stream many times. Every foot of it was familiar to him. He knew every rock. every old log, every stick and stone, every clump of ferns, every moss-covered hummuck. He knew everything there was along that brook. Anyway he thought he did.

So when at the water's edge he came to a little pen made of sticks pushed into the ground he stopped before going close to it. It was something new. He was sure that it hadn't been there the last time he was along this way. Why was it here now? Where had it come from? There was an opening. an entrance, just big enough for one his size to enter easily. Inside at the very back of it he could see something that might be a fish, or part of one. It must be. for he could smell fish. The air was full of the fish smell. His nose twitched and hismouth watered.

WTth the greatestcare he looked that little pen all over. Just as carefully he looked the ground around it all over. Excepting for the pen itself everything was as usual, as he remembered it. All he needed to do to get that fish was to walk in and help himself. He tool: two steps and stopped. He had remembered the hole in the bank with the fish in it and how Three-legs wouldn't touch that fish or let him. He remem- bered what Three-legs had said, that he would live longer if he kept away from anything strange in a familiar place. Ho sat down
