However. the six-notrump con- tract would have been fulfilled very easily if South had exercised a little caution. West, not want- ing to lead sway from his dia- mond holding, opened the club nine. South cashed his spade king and ace, then went to dummy via a heart to the king and cashed the two good spades. discardln! his nine and jack of diamonds. Now. however. when he led dummy‘s heart nine. East naturally covered, and when South. to establish the necessary tricks, had to knock out. East's heart stopper. East was ready to lay down the thirteenth spade to defeat the contract.

- The situation here was "made to order” for a safety play! After un- blocking the ace-king of spades. South's correct course was to lead n low heart and put in dummy! nine. thus giving up then and there the heart trick which it might be necessary to concede in order to run the rest of the suit. Obviously.

For a long time he sat there with- out. moving

Farmer Brown's boy grinned.

"That is where one of them went ’

in." said he aloud, talking to him- self as he often does when alone. "There should be two more close by." He stood up and looked over the SlLrface this way and that more carefully than ever. In a moment his face broke into a smile. He had discovered another slight hol- low in the level surface. A mo- ment iater he saw a third. There were no more. He was sure of that.

He looked up in the snow-cov- ered tree into Mitch he seen Sem- my Jay fly a few minutes before. "I know what you were listening to down here. and what Jumper the Home heard before Terror the Goshewk tried to catch him. Te!"- rotr heard it, too when he sat on that stump ovter there. 1t was some one pecking at the ice from underneath. and that some one was one of those Grouse. These are the places where they plunged into the deep snow for the night before or at the begin- ning of the storm. Failing snow nearly filled the holes they had made, then it turned to rain. It soaked into the surface and this finally froze. Those birds didn't know anything about it until at. daylight they tried to fly out and couldn't. ‘They were trapped. Prob- ably they have been trying ever since to peck their way out and can't.” ' He said this just as if he thought Sammy Jey could under- stand it. which of course Sanuny couldn't.

At the slight hollow nearest to the stump on which the Goshawk had perched he saw several scratches on the smooth surface. "A hooked bill isn't just the thing to try to peck a hole with," said he, just as it Terror was there and could understand. He chuckled, and sat. down on the stump. "Now I will do some listening myself," heﬁhought.

For a. long time he sat there ivitlrout moving. He knew that. despite his care, he probably had made some sounds with his feet that keen ears under the crust had heard. Sammy Jay became so curious that finally he came out in the open because he couldn't keep still any longer. But he kept his tongue still. Jumper the Hare poked his head out: and finally hopped out where he could sit up and stare at that stump as if he couldn't be sure Just -what had happened to change its looks.

Something red moved back of a snow-bent young tree, end Farmer browns boy know that Roddy Fox had crept under it and was watch- ing. “I do believe that the red rascal knows or suspects where those Grouse are and is hanging around to see what will happen," thought he. 1t was a good guess. Roddy had been the first one to hear that pecking at. the crust very early Wat morning. Now he had returned. He couldn't keep away.

At host Farmer Brown's boy heard what he had so patiently waited and listened for. The sound was faint. but there was no mistak- ing it, a slow peck-peokg-peck-peck. He listened carefully to make sure of the exact spot it was coming from. He heard a second peck- peck-peck. but not a third. He made sure of the exact place of each. then he went to the first piece and with belt axe began breaking
