West did well to "boost" the en. emy. but his effort should have failed -- south should have made five spades with the greatest ease.

West led the diamond king and shifted to the club nine. The queen was put up. and on the notion. that East might have all the outstand- ing trumps. declarer led the trump queen. This was not a good play but. as it happened. when East followed with the jack it became obvious that West had the guard- ed king. which was information well worth having. South. however, did not use this information. Hav- ing captured the spade Jack, he left the king at large. then cashed his clubs, discarding hearts from gum. my. West ruffed the fourth club W'I.h the spade king and exited viulh his lolle heart, and East pro- ilured the king for the setting trick.

Knowing where the spade king lay. south should have ruffed his remaining diamond. then cashed

What Mrs. Grouse says is true.

Experience wsnu to know. It has

learned that guessing is'more often wrong than right. Knowledgeicomes from experience. but never from guessing. ' '

Deep in the Green Forest in s tall hemlock tree. hidden by the broad. green branches, Mrs. Grouse was spending the night. Thunderer. her handsome mate. was also in the same tree. so were two of their flock. Mrs. Grouse was not sleeping well. She was uneasy. A little way off down under the snow four more of her flock was spending the night, They had plunged into the snow just as the black shadows came creeping into the Green Forest. Mrs. Grouse had advised them that it would be safer if they too spend the night in the tree. but they had not heeded her advice.

Just as the black curtain of dark- ness settled down rainc began to fall. Mrs. Grouse became more and more uneasy. She dozed in short naps. Every time she awoke it was still raining. and every time she was a little more uneasy than before. She wished that those four young grouse down under the snow were up in that tree with her.

two more clubs. West had started with two spades and surely had at least seven diamonds for his bidding. If he followed suit to three clubs. south could merely cash the heart ace. taking West's heart exit away from him, then throw him in with the trump king to force 3. dia- mond return. This, of course, would be ruffed in dummy while south discarded a heart. i

If West could ruff the third club, South would not have lost any- thing. In that case he would simp- LV have to hope that West held the !(-x of hearts and would be forced to lead away from it to thl. North-South combination.

"If it Just rains it won't matteiy" thought Mrs. Grouse. "But if it stops raining. and Jack Frost comes around and covers the snow with an icy crust. those children are going to be in trouble. They have no idea what trouble they will be in. They will be prisoners unless they can break the crust themselves. If they are prisoners they will have no food down there. I hope Jack Frost stays away."

It was along toward morning that Mrs. Grouse wakened from a long nap. The rain was no longer falling. The air was colder. She became more uneasy than ever. She had a feeling that Jack Frost was busy there in the Green Forest. Her winter coat of feathers would keep her warm. She wasn't worried about

BIVEEDALE - CHUH-Cglilah

The regular monthly meeting of the Rlverdale-Churchill lwomenls Institute was held at the home of. Mrs. 'Robbie MscKinnon. with In attendance of 12 members and sev- eral visitors present. The meeting opened in the usual way. Roll call was snswered with an exchange of Christmas presents. ,Correspond- ence was read by Secretary,- -

It was decided to give 35.00 to T. B. League. also to raise gift to any member in hospital to 81.00. Each member to make candy to be sold at Christmas concert. It was decided in give each child a treai. of s 100 bar and an apple at Christmas concert. als to give treats to shut-ips at ristmas. and to send a hamper of apples each to Ssnatorium and Orphan- sge. y ” '

Next meeting will be teid at the home of Mrs. Guy MacLeod. Roll call. "A Famous Person." A con- test. "20 Questions." was put on by MissiAnne McQuaid. and en- joyed by all the members, after which a dainty lunch" was served by the hostess. Meeting closed with the "Queen." H

or to the others in the tree with her. she was worried about what he might do to her four children down under the snow. She wish- ed that there was sortie way of get- ting those young grouse up out of their warm beds in the snow. But there wasn't. A

Of course Jack Frost might not freeze a hard crust. He might be satisfied with just a light crust on the snow. In that case when day- light came, the young grouse might be able to break their way out. She had done it herself more than once. But, if the crust should be hard and thick enough solthat it couldn't be broken by the young grouse it might last for several days, holding them prisoners. Then they would starve to death. There was no food for them down there under the snow. After a long, long time the black shadows began to leave. Just as soon as it was light enough Mrs. Grouse flew down from that tree. Just as she had feared. Jack Frost had formed an icy crust over the snow. Now she was more

what Jack Frost might do to her,

uneasy than ever.
