Worry seems to thrive and grow Most on what you do not know. -Old Mother Nature.

Strange as it may seem, that is a true saying by Old Mother Nature. Most folks worlry tam more about what they do not know than what they do know. You'll find this it so almost everywhere.

Lightfoot the Deer, Mxz. Light- foot, and the twins. w re lying down for their morning rest. They were in a favorite thicket in the Grccn Forest. They had spent the night roaming about and brows- ing hero and there. Now they were resting comfortably, and chewng their cuds as they rested. F-;.int in the distance. they heard in cvoice of a Dog. Lightfoot and nothing. but into her big soft rum crept a worried look.

”'iiliat's nothing to worry about." QZHAI Liglitfoot. He resumed chew- ing his cud.

Still Mrs. Lightfoot said no- thing, but for the time being she stopped chewing her cud. She kept her big ears wide open. An- other Dog barked. The sound came from another direction and seemed just as far away. Mrs. Lightfoot paid no attention to it. she knew that voice. It was the voice of Bowser the Hound over at Farmer Brown's place. Bowser ncver chases Deer. Long ngo he was taught not to. So she paid no attention to Boivser's voice, but kept her ears set to catch that other voice. It was a strange voice. That is to say, it was .1 voice she had never heard before. She could hear it but faintly. and only now and then and with long periods in between. Watching her, Lightfoot saw that she was sti.i worrying. Anyway she was anxious if not actually worrying.

"My dear." said Lightfoot, "just forget that Dog."

wered her own question. ”l-le is over where we were last evening, and I don't like it."

The twins looked at their mother with curiosity in their eyes. "What if that Dog is over where we wewe last evening?" said one of them.

Before Mrs. Lightfoot could reply. they heard that voice again. it was a little louder; not much louder. but really louder. The worried look grew in Mrs. Light- i'oot's eyes. "Do you know what I think?” she asked.

- "What do you think?" Light- foot wanted to know.

”I think that Dog is following

our trail." replied Mrs. Light- foot. "Pooh!" exclaimed Lightfoot.

"I don't believe he's doing any- thing of the kind. He may be fol- lowing the trail of someone else who happened along over there after we left." .

"Are you afraid .0! a Dog?" asked one of the twins.,They never had been chased by a Dog. They had seen a Dog chasing Reddy Fox. but that Dog had paid no attention to them even when he passed near them and saw them. So they saw no reason to be afraid of a Dog. They went on chewing their cuds contentedly. For quite a while that voice was not heard again. Even Lighifoot seemed to have forgotten it. ,But Mrs. Lightfoot hadn't for- gotten it. She still kept those big ears wide open. and her head up. She was listening closely, and worrying as she listened. "if I only knew what that Dog really is doing, if he is trying to work out somcone's trail, I would feel better, even if it was our trail. Then I would know what to ex- pect and what to do. it is what I don't know that worries me." thought Mrs. Lightfoot.

That voice was heard again. it was louder. There was no doubt about it this time. Being louder must mean that Dog was nearer. it might not be that he was following their trail. but it Could be. There was no doubt a- bout that. Lightfoot stopped chewing his cud. lifted his head listened. Again that voice came drifting through the trees. and this time it was sooner than it hiid been at any other time. Also it was just a wee bit louder than the last time. i

Mrs. Llghtfoot got to her feel and good facing t e direction i'l'om which it came. ightfoot did not got ll yet. but the twins St'l'ambi8d to heir fect. They stood beside their mother looking and listening. but they were not worrying. She was doing all the worrying.

East said later that he had "had a sinking sensation when North redoubled -and as for poor West, his feelings are not hard to im- agine!

Obedient to the implied com- mand in East's double, West open- ed his top card in the suit bid by dummy, namely, the club eight. East captured dummy's nine with the ten and exited safely (tem- porarily) with the spade gen, South took this in his own hand and finessed the heart jack. East won and again got out in spades. South went up with the spade ace and tried another heart finesse; this time. after winning, East ex- cited with his last heart.
