"Who didn't have to learn to fly?" "asked little Mrs. Peter.

iwhere I am safe," retorted- little Mrs. Peter rather sharply. Shre doesn't approve of Peter's wan- derings. She thinks he has too much curiosity, and probably she is rigiht. '

lit was only a few day later that Peter came home again lull of wonder.

"They didn't have to learn to fly." cried Peter.

"Who didnt have to learn to -fly?" asked little Mrs. Peter.

: "Mrs. Hiimvmei-'s l-W0 babies." roplied Peter.

"What of it?" asked Mrs. Peter. and added. "Our babies. don'i have In learn in use that legs. Ax. isnon as may are big enough to brun. they do. Why should1'i"t birds giise their wings without having to l learn how?"

"I've watched a lot of . young ibirds,learning to 'l.v." declared "They may be able to fly just a little bit when they leave the nest, lbiit only 1 little bit. Those child- iron 0! Mrs. Hummer?! shot on of lthe nest just as their mother imight have done and I haven't seen them sinre. I miss them." r "Proba-bly they don't miss you." irieciared little Mrs. Peter. Peter pretended not to hear that. Also he continued to go back every day for a look at that dainty little :nest, hoping he might see Mrs. Hummer or one of the little Hums iners back there. He never did. . Nursery days were over. And when illllliSEl”.V days are over. feathered folk no longer have use (0 thei: nests. Lovely and dainty as was Mrs. l-liimmer's nest she was throug with ii. She had no more yiise for it. When another year she iwou-ld have need of a new nest. she would make one. Now with the children out in the Great World for themselves she was carefree and had only herself In think 01. Soon it would be time to start the long Jouriiey to the Land-ol- Always-Summer to spend the win- ter. Now she must prepare for it by getting in the best condition posslible.

Only once again: did Peter see Mrs. Hummer. It was up in Farr-nor Brown's flower garden, where of course Peter lfad no bus- iness to be. Mrs. Hummer was dar- ting from (lower to flower. If she saw Peter she made no sign. Fin- ally she shot away like R little green huilcl. Once more Peter had that lonesome feeling.

"I don't see why folks have to go away and leave their lriends." complained Peter to Mrs. Peter.

Fevw players would envy South his contract in today's deal, since there appear to be live losers when South can afford only three. As has been remarked often before however. strange things can happ- en at the bridge table.

West was not hHm'3.V about ac- cepting his paitnerxs do-.u'o'.e of the four-heart contract. but he summ- ed that a four-svpade or live-club contract would be well trounced (as it. would have been. on PTO- per defense.) I

West opened the Srpade king. and when South played low. contin- ued with the spade queen. Dec- l-arer took his ace this 'time. and sinus he had only one spade left to ru'tl.', he laid down the Ice and king of tru-mps. It was no surprise that West failed on the second round. and things looked pretty black-East had two sure trump tricks. and in addition to the spade already conceded, South had two losing clubs to worry about.

There was only one ho-pe-thal the disirivbiiliion of East's hand would permit a certain line of play. So South lauriched upon that course.

He cashed the top diamonds and rubted A third round: then ruli- ed his remain-in-3 spade with dummy's last trump. Now another diamond rut! made use of South's next-to-last irunirp. and alter South had returned to the board with a club. lhr fifth d'13!TlOlld. whfch East had to follow. brought home South's lvruntip on a. rufl.

South now had the necwsary 10 tricks stacked neatly in lront of him-the spade ace. the ace-king of diamonds, the club ace. one spade ruirf. and his own five hearls -and so he could afford a dis- creet. chuckle as he tossed his re- maining trwo cards. the queen and six of clubs, on the table. Both opponents gould win these tricks!
