IT l5 THE NATURE 0F A SQOUN LYING—CICERO.

A SIMPLE POINT

In today's deal, the only point was for the declarer to make the enemy "start" a certain suit.

first response had left something t0 BDRYB. reheated the notrump suggestion over his partner's two spades. South might well have ac- cepted the suggestion instead of trying for i0 tricks at spades, but apparently he thought that the mn1or~suit contract would be saf- er, and more lucrative.

West, on lead against four spades. selected the club five. dummy?- king won. and South promptly drew trumps. Then, apparently with the thought that he would ihare to find the heart ten under ldummys J-9, he led the heart four and put in the nine-spot when West Iplaycd low. East, however, won with the heart ten. and that. in effect. was the end of the mutter. South lost three hearts and one club.

There was no need for South to search for the heart ten, or to hope for the favorable position ot that card! Alter winning the first trick. South should have cashed the dia- mond ace. led to the spade nine, ruffed n diamond. then gone back to tho spade jack end ruffed an- other diamond. .Now, trumps hav- ing broken 2-2, he should cash his other club trick. ruff tlummys last diamond. liliCl finally exit with his losing club. No matter which de- fender returned a heart. South

would be sure of a trick in the suit;

or ii’ the return Was a diamond or

a club, South would get a heart discard and a ruff.

But in those

and the snow had piled up on their broad branches so that those were bent beneath the weight o! it, and the trees had taken strange, glistening. white shapes.

Before the snow had become deep Mrs. Lightfoot had led the way in what seemed like aimless wander- ing about among the food trees and shrubs, making trails in the snow that crossed and re-crossed, seem- ing to lead everywhere yet no- where. and without plan. However, had you followed them you would have found that they never led away from the food trees and bush- es and excepting to a sheltered place where they could lie down and rest in comfort.

At first when there was only a little snow the twins wandered about as they pleasedwhile brows- ing. making little trails o! their own. When the snow became deep- er it became tiresome to wade through it, so more they kept to the troddcn paths. When at last the snow became so deep it was above their knees they kept in the trodden paths all the time. Had they, left them they would have been hopelessly stuck.

But in those paths they could move about easily. By this time the paths wound in and out,~cross- ing and re-crossing, among the ﬂees and bushes all over the place Mrs. Lightfoot had ciosen 1m- them to spend the winter. Thus they could get the special food they must have, and do it with- out too much work. It was like be- ing in a big fenced-in yard out oi’ which they could not go. Such a place made in the snow by Deer is called a yard. a Deer yard. -

Because of their habit of snatch-

ing a bite here and a bite there the four Deer kept on the move most o1 the time

while eating, taking a mouthful oi shoots from a bush“ then moving on for some tender twi-gs from a branch of a tree. in this waypwith- out thinking about the matter, they kept the snow trodden down and the paths open While the snow tell ulld grew deeper and deeper out- side the yard. l-l-ad they eaten their fill in any one place the unused paths would soon have been filled.

Instead o! staying together while browsing they scattered. They were never far apart. but still they were scattered. This helped to keep all the paths open. Of course the twins, being so much smaller than their parents. couldn't reach as far to the side or up as high when browsing. There were many choice twigs just out. of their reach that mother and lather could get with

lower limbs of trees. In the early part oi the winter they didn't mind. Then tlfere was plenty o1 food they could reach. So it was that the twins found out what a yard was and ivhat it was for. And they erere glad to be in it.
