Mother Grouse had tried to get

ihim free. pecking at that hateful

root with her stout hill. and try- ing to scratch it out of the ground will her stout claws. She could not set him free that way. There was nothing else she could do except to be near him and try to comfort him. This she was doing while Chickie's six broth- ers and sisters ran about catch- ing y ou ng Grasshoppe a and picking up other things to eat. They couldn't understand why Chickie stayed in one place and wouldn't join them.

Mrs. Grouse was a worried mother. Yes. sir. she was so. Not only must she try to get Chic- kie free of that hateful root. and how this was to be done llte didnt know, but at the same time she must watch over the six other: and make sure they did not get into trouble or dan- ger. Do you wonder that she was worried?

Suddenly she put up her head to listen. Then she gave the hide signal. A; if by magic those six lel(i!'el)' young Grouse disappear-

A grand slam should not be undertaken unless tbs odds are at least two to one in favor of mak- ing the contract. It naturally fol- lows that it's a bad proposition to get to a grand slam where the result depends on a (iiiesae. which B only an even motley shot.

Unfortunately. you can't al- days be certain during the bid- ding that the -grand slam you contemplate will revolve around a flnsass. This very problem eon- frontad louth in today's hand. Ones North had raised diamonds, the toeatlori of the king of spades became the key issue.

If North had it. the grand stain was a cinch. If North

no worse than a finesse situa- tion. The probability of success therefore ranged from 509'. to 10096.

Titers were other factors to be considered. North might have a hand that would produce thir- teen tricka without the spade king. For example, a ,'eton or void in spades. There could also be other hands that would succeed without relying on a ft- IIOIIQ.

All in all. the prospects avert good enough to justify South's venture. The dummy that came down in the actual hand didn't measure up to South's highest hopes At first glance. the out- eui-ns seemed to depend on a spade finesse.

Further study. though. re- vealed an additional chance to win the hand. A heart trick might be established and the spade finesse avoided. Nothing could be lost by investigating this possibility.

After winning the club lead, a low diamond was led to dummya seven. and a low heart was ruffed high. Another trump to the nine was followed by another heart ruff. Dummy was then entered with a trump.
