Little Stripes was the smallest ...' the four children of Striped iinipmuni: a Mrs. Chipmunk. It wasn't. tnat he was younger ilian lhe others; he wasn't. All were the same age. but for some imagnoxvn reason he was smaller cm the others. And because he .x..s smaller he was what is call- ,.cl mother's pet. it often is that -.t.iy in a family where one of the cnildren is smaller than the nl."lEl'!. Moi-hers are very apt to ypoii such.

Norw though he was the smallest I,-tile Stripes was the liveliest of -- four. lie just couldn't keep . . All were now almost big mough to be starting out in the (heat World for themselves. but - joy still had a great deal to learn . :lOLI8il they didn't think so. 5 ch rel: sure that he could look .i.t for himsclf or

herself. This

was especially true of Little Stripes:

Their home was down in the

:round where of course they could we and hear nothing of the Great

World outside. This morning iIt.iii'iCF had led them up a long hall to a doorway that opened

under the old stonewall on the orig: of the Old Orchard. There x-.crc little passages among the -lone: of the old wall leading up in openings from which they mzglit peep out at the Great World, Mother had warned them hat they must not do more than out their small heads outside. This three of them were content in do. There was so much that was new and wonderful that they u(l'C contcni. to just sit and look and look and look. For the first Ilnlc they were seeing sunlight and blue sky and green leaves. zrass and trees and flowers. It was all so very wonderful that any were quite satisfied to just :v.i and look and wonder. They tad no thought of disobeying rxniher.

Neither had Little Stripes at '':I. But he was impatient. He "(Li sure that he could see more zud hotter if he were wholly out- ..m. He didn't ask mother if he -mild climb out. Perhaps he knew mat she would say no. Perhaps we didn't think about it at all. Be- ng spoiled he was in the habit if (i(1illg.WflaL he wanted to do. ili- wanted to climb out now. He

he was outside he wasn't content to sit close by the opening from which iic had come. He jumped over to the next sane. and from that to another stone, all the time watching mother. When she sfarted to turn her head he dived down through an opening between the stones to get out of sight. Mother didn't see him. Perhaps she tlioiight that being so small he was frightened by his first glimpse of the Great World and all the strange things and so had gone back down in the house where he would feel safe. Just to make sure she went to look for him.

Now all the time little Striipes was peeping out watching her. No sooner did she disappear then out he popped and tan farthcr along son the old wall. He didn't feel the least afraid. This was because he really didnt know what fear was. So far in his short life there had been nothing to be agaid of.

This was fun! This was wonder- ful! Perhaps he wondered why he had been kept down in the dark so long on the old wall as fast as his small legs could take him. He feared that mother would call him back. and he didn't want to go back down in the dark. So he was running away. He was runn- ing away from home without knowing it. By the time mother had discovered that he was not back in the snug home and had hurried out to look for him he was far along on.the old wall and where she couldn't see him.

Soutn couldnit. afford in jump in two notrunin. on the first round. but his "courtesy response" had obviously left him with something to spare, so he repeated the no- Lrump suggestion at his next turn. North did not go on to game without misgivings. but. not viii- iierable, he felt that nothing very bad could happen.

West opened normally-the five of spades-and when the dummy appeared, South could not be very sanguine about the outconie. Even if the acc of clubs lay right. the defenders could certainly establish three tricks in the suit, and these. with the ace and king 0' diam- cnds, would defeat the contract.

South's only chance was tokeep the defenders away from the chip

was to encourage further attacks in spades. so South overtoot

own ace. trying to give the im- presslon that he. as well as dum- nzy, had only two cards in the suit.

'When South led tiic diamond jack. West ducked. East won and irctumed the spade nine. Duminy's king won. and another diamond was led, West winning.

West now did exactly what gsnuth had hoped he would do- he continued with spades! Evid- (-ntly, he felt that dccliirer was i-ow void. hut. needless to say. that was not the case! I South's hoax was pretty feeble. Innd it could not have worked iagalnst am West who "watched ilhe spots". First, East had plnved Ithc spade dcuce in the opening .lcad, which he scarcely would have done with four to the jack. Sec- ond, East's return of the spade nine had specifically denied the Mack. So South was marked with
