lifted their heads the better to listen. Beauty thought he had heard something that he wanted the others to hear. Mrs. Paddy joined them. . g

"What are you folks listening for?" asked llirs. Paddy.

"We don't know. Beauty thought he heard something and we are listening see if we can hear it again." replied Paddy.

So Mrs. Paddy lifted her head to 'isten. For awhile it was very still at the little pond deep in the Green Forest. There seemed to be no one about but themselves. Not even a Merry Little Breeze was moving. It was so very still there In the Green Forest that even small sounds. I! there had been any. could have been heard for n

'f l long distance.

it i Finally the four listeners gave if up. ”I guess I didn't hear what I f i thought I he.rd." said Beauty the ' Wood Duck.

I "What did you think you heard?" i asked Illrs. Beauty.

:f "I thought I. heard omeone drum . miug." replied Beauty.

"Do you mean one of those big Woodpeckers we were talking about?" asked Paddy.

"it sounded like one of them. only so far away that it was hard to tell. 0! course it could have heen one of Log-cuck's smaller cousins. All the woodpeckers are drummers," replied Beauty.

"What did you think you heard?” Isked Mrs. Beauty.

”There!" exclaimed Mrs. Beauty.

All four lifted their heads once more to listen. Sure enough, iron: ler back among the trees there same a faint but familiar drum- ming of a Woodpecke . There could be no mistaking that sound for any other sound. A Woodpecker some- where was surely letting every- body within hearing know that he or she was happy. Some people sing when they are happy. Many of the feathered folks do this. Some people whistle. All the Wood-

ecker folk drum. They find I

ollow or dead limb and then they ham;..er on it with their stout bills. License it is hollow or dead and fry, the sound is several times as loud as if the uiummer was pounding on solid wood or green wood.

"Do yo.i suppose that really is Log-cock?" asked Mrs. Beauty.

"It could be, but it doesn't sound loud enough.” said Paddy the Ben- ver.

Once more they all listened. They could hear the faint sound of drumming. a rst-a-tat- rat-a-tat- rat-I-tat-tat there could be no mis- taking. Then for a couple of min- utes all was still. They strained their ears to hear. Then they heard a voice calling. it was very faint. but they all recognized it. It was the voice of Logcock the

"It's Log-cock. all right!" i-rind Beauty. ”And Mrs. Log-cock is with him."

"How do you know that?" lilrsf Paddy wanted to know.

"By the sound of his voice. It wouldn't sound so happy if any- thing had happened to her. I doulti believe he would he drumiiiiiig or singing it anything had." said Beauty.

"Do you call that singing?" asked Mrs. Beauty.

Of the remaining 16 cases, 15 times the suit break is 5-1, and once 64.). It is not important to memo- rize the exact figures. but an ap- proximate knowledge of the probabilities proves helpful from time to time.

The question bei'ore us today is: How unlucky was South when he was defeated in his three notrump contract? He ducked East's jack and king of hearts. but had to win the third round. He could count eight tricks for sure. and he wound up with eight tricks for sure. Neither the diamonds nor clubs broke 3-3 as he hoped. even though the odds were that one or the other would. We claim, how- ever, that he should make the hand despite the unfavorable breaks.

The position to be taken by South is tlial thcre is nothing to the hand it either minor suit breaks favorably. but that the challenge to him is to find a
