loved that strong scent of Fox. He oows into the Green Forest and along the Crooked Little Path. Twice Reddy had tried to break his trail with a clever trick, but each time Bowser had been delayed only a few minutes. Now his great voice rolled. out steadily as he tol- iowed that strong scent of Fox. He didn't know that it was no longer Redd,v's seen; that he was follow- ing. That was why Reddy was grin- ning so broadly.

It was I sharp trick Reddy had just played. Gray Fox, his cousin, had chanced '0 cross in lront of Reddy as he ran. Raddy promptly followed Gray Fox for some dis- tance, running in the lai.ter's foot- steps. This made the Fox scent doubly strong, so strong that when Bowser came to it he hardly had to put his nose down in order to ioliow it. Roddy had made a long

You see, he knew that hL; cousin Gray could get away from Bowser any time he really wanted to. All he had to do was climb a. irze. Gray Fox is a very good climber. He often will go high up in tall trees. some times he even takes a sun-bath in an empty nest of one of the big Hawk folk high tip in a tree. The Hawk folk scldoni build their nests low down. Roddy is not a good climber. Some times, but not often, he will get a little way up in a tree. He never feels at all at home there.

Gray Fox is a good runner, but not as good a runner as Reddy Fox. In some ways he is not as smart as his cousin of the red coat. of course, he knew right away what Reddy had done. Raddy had play-

ed that trick on him before. Gray Fox didn't grin as he ran, he did not feel in the least like grinning.

tree-climber like Happy Jack Squir- rel, or Bobby Goon, or Unc Billy Posum, could have climbed it. But Gray Fox climbed it without too much trouble. By the time Bowser came baying up to the foot of it Gray Fox was high up in that tree and hidden by the broad spreading branches below him.

He Jumped onto the trunk of guilt tree ironi a few feet away. so his trail did not lead right to the foot or it. It ended right a(; the point from where he had jumped. Bow- ser stopped baying. He began circl- ing, trying to find .the lost trail. He made his circles bigger and bigger, but of coirrse he found no- thing.

He came to the big tree. Stand- ing right at the foot of it, that wonderful nose of his was tickled by a Merry Little Breeze, with just the faintest smell of Fox. It seemed to come from above. Bowser walk- ed around that big tree stopping frequently to stand up on his hind feet and shift of the bark as high as he could. Presently, he caught the smell. It was on the bark of that tree. Of course, it couldn't have been there if that Fox hadn't climbed that tree.

"Gray Fox," muttered Bowser. "It must be Gray Fox I have been chasing. some where he and Red- dy changed places."

You see, Bowser had chased Gray Fox more than once before, and knew all aboug his tree-climbing habit. so it was a good guess on his

Not a vcry encouraging array. but you have adequate trump sup- port lor spades, and your holding is not attractive tor notrump or for a takeout to hearts, so let us see how the hand shapes up for B. spade raise. Your spade up for is worth 2 points, your club jack is worth 1 point, and you have 5 points in the heart suit - 3 for the king and 2 for the long cards (the iourth and fifth cards of a side suit.)

The total is 8, but your trump support is not really good and so, in accordance with the stipula- tion set down yesterday. you must deduct 1 point, leaving you with 7 points. We have learned that responder needs from 6 to 10 points for a single raise; you are therefore Justified in giving this raise.
