North had to choose between two diamonds and one not-l'lImP '- eithar of which would suffice at the 60 score. In such I closl GNP tmn. North's actual rabid of one nalrump could not be criticized.

When this nolrump rebid Mme around, however. South had .8 mil problem. His hand was dis- tinctly unsuited to notrulnp. even at the one-level. lf North hld only two spades, lacking '3" '05 south: hand would produce only one trick. Thus. North might have 0OnSl4lPT8l)le top-card strenllth and yet be unable to fulfill the one-nutriimp contract.

The situation. then. demanded that South look for a batter con- rant -- always considering that & score. Should be bid CVO spaiios? South didn't think so. The spot-cards in spades. under the king-queen. were so low that south had serious doubts about handling the suit if. an was to be feared. North turned up with two small. It is interesting to observe that this pre-analysis by South ,was accurate - two spades could Innt have been made against sound rleir-use.

South decided that, weak as his heart suit was. it would be wise in let North choose between hearts .aiui spades. rather than foist a ltim-spade rebid upon him. 80 Smith hid two hearts. and that became the contract. It was ful- filled without difficulty.

was still the middle of winter, he was sure that it couldn't have been Welcome Robin he had heard. Then he had seen Sammy Jay. and right away guessed that Sammy had been pretending that he was Welcome Robin. Sammy had denied that he had been doing anything of the kind, but no could see that Peter still didn't believe it.

Sammy went off about busi- ness of his own. and Peter went back to sleep. Now Sammy knew something that Peter didn't know. He knew that Welcome Robin had not gone South with the other birds for the winter. He knew that Welcome Robin had spent the winter right there among those cedar trees. and that it must have been welcome whom Peter had heard. Later that day Sam- my flew back to the cedar trees. He found Peter in his form, hid- den under a low-growing branch of a cedar tree. Sammy sat for some little time looking down at Peter. He was tempted to play a trick on Peter. Yes. sir. he was very much tempted. The more he ”ought of it, the more he was t.omP1ed-

"Pater still doesn't believe that I didn't pretend to be Welcome Robin. I cant imitate Welcome Robin well enough to fool any- one who really known Welcome Robin's voice. but I can scream enough like Redtaii the Hawk to fool a lot of people. It would fun to give Peter a scare. Yes. sir. it would be fun. I wonder what

he would do." said Sammy 90 himself.

Just then. Peter opened his eyes. Sammy kept very still.

Peter looked around slcepily, then closed his eyes again. Sammy Jay chuckled. but it was an al- most soundless chuckle. Peter didn't hear it.

Had you been near enough to hear it I am sure you would have thought Redtall the Hawk had screamed. Of course. it akened Peter instant- ly. Sammy screamed again. It was so loud. so close to him, that Peter jumped and ran before he had time to think. He dodged this way and that, around the cedar trees. Finally he darted into the darkest place he could find under those low boughs.

Once more Sammy Jay scream- ed like Redtail the Hawk. Then he gave the call of Welcome Robin. from his hiding-place. "So, it was you!" cried Peter indignantly.
