Inasmuch as West could have made his four-spade bid. south showed good Judgment in going on to live hearts. If he had passed for his partner": decision. North might have elected to try for the defeat of the enemy.

West. feeling that he might easily get in a diamond ruff, opened his blank ace. but when the dummy was spread he hastily shifted to the queen of clubs. South took the trick and led a low trump. East won and could have cashed the club king for the setting trick. but he apparently had "vision of ncalth." and so returned a low diamond.

South. astonished but very pleas- ad over developments, ruffed the diamond high, led a trump to the ten in dummy. and "pushed" the diamond queen through East. Now there was no defense. East could cover or not, as he chose: South was sure to rulf out the diamond king, draw East's remaining trump. and claim the rest with the ace of spades and good diamonds-he didn't even have to risk the spade finesse.

If East had simply laid down the club king for a sure though modest victory. his side would have collected 200 points. Instead. North- south oollected 850 points-which is a substantial "swing" under any circumstances!

"Dee, dee, dee, deel See me! See me! See mel" cried Tommy Tit, as he hung upside down from a twig sipping a drop of water from the tip of an icicle. It was over in the deer Old Brier-patch.

"I don't know how," grumbled Peter. "There is nothing much but bark to eat. And even that is cov- ered with ice in places."

"Supposing there wasn't any bark,” said Tommy Tit. "That would be worse. You are.not going really hungry these days. and some folks are, You may be tired of just bark. but some folks would be thank- ful if they could eat even that.

"What? asked Peter.

"The sun is shining. Dee, dee, rice. the sun is shining!" cried Tommy Tit. happily. and ripped mother drink from an icicle.
