LONGLEGS GET! A

lThe universal law of life Is one of seeming endless strife. —Old Mother Nature.

Redwing the Blackbird stopped singing to watch Longlegs the Heron wade ashore. "Did you hear what he said?" Redlwing asked Mrs. Redwing, who was looking around in the rushes at the head of the Smiling Pool trying to make up her mind whether they should build their nest there or in the near by alders,

"He said something about going hunting. My dear, where do you think we should built our nest? I just can't make up my mind." raid MPS- Redwlns. It was clear that she was not interested in Long- iegs the Heron,

"Don't ask me. You know very well that that nest will be just where you want it to be. What I may think will have nothing to do with the matter." replied Red- wlng a. bit testily. “I don't think he had had any breakfast." he added,

“Vi/ho?" asked Mrs. with an absent air. "Lovnglegs the Heron.’ cried Red-wing impatiently. “He didn't catch a. thing ‘while he was here, and it wasn't because he didn't have patience.”

"Fisherman's luck. I'm glad we don't have tn depend on catching fish for our food. I think I'll look those aldcrs over once more." re- plied Mrs. Redwing.

“Now he has gone ashore. Said he was going hunting. He's a fishennan, not a hunter. Do you ‘suppose he really meant it?" said Jledwing as if Mrs. Redwing lhadrrt spoken,

‘ There was no reply. Mrs, Red-

wing was over in the aldershlt ‘was ‘plain that-she didn't care a flirt -oi! her tail whether Longlegs was

a flshermanor a hunter Qr both. She had more important things to

Redwing

ithink about. mowing ﬂew over to . the tallest alder and perdied on

the very top where he could look over the Green Meadows. Long- leg-s had left the bank of the Smiling Pool and was walking out

j on the Green Meadows. "I believe - he did mean it." thought RedwlngI ’ "If he hunts the way he fishes, just

standing still and waiting. I guess it will be a long time before he gets his breakfast. He'll find that Mice are not likely to come his way as fish so often do. He'll have to go where ythey are..hunt for them." ' I

That was exactly what Innglegs was doing. Redwinz had often seen him walking along the edge of the water watohﬂig for ‘Frogs. He never hurried. Each step wastaken slowly and carefully so as not to alarm a Frog before getting within

striking distance. He was walking! now in Just that szme careful way

through the grass of the Green Meadows, his head held a. lltlte higher than when he was looking for Frogs. This was so that he could see better in the grass ahead of him. Now and then he stood still for s. moment. looking and penhape listening for the faint rrntle made by tiny feet.

For several minutes nothing happened. Then 10118198! W03 tihree quick long steps such as only 5-inch long legs as his could take. his long neck straightened to its full length as he struck out and down with his ion! bill. I,

It had gone down the long throat in that ions neck. Longlegs had begun his breakfast.

The same thing was repeated twice. By this- time Ilonglegs was farther out on the Green Meadows than Redwing ever had seen him before, It; seemed ocld to see him so far from water. At long last he lifted his great wings and began to flap tihem slowly. lifting himself into the air. With his head drawn ‘back and his long legs straight out behind him he returned to tihe $miling Pool.

"Did you have a good break- fast?" called Redwing.

"A ve good breakfast." crock- ed Long egs.

“What of?" asked Redwing.

“li/iice." replied L-onsless and flopped away toward the Big River. ' ' , ~

West opened the el/ub king, but when he sarw the dummy, quickly shifted to the heart queen. Dec- larer ducked, but won the heart conti nation with the ace. Now. obvi Ly with Ihe thought of getting out the trumps with as little loss as possible, declas-er led e spade from dummy and iinessed

delay in taking his ace. and then for want of a better return, he led back the spade eight,

This let declarer capture East's spade queer; but he was still e long way frcm success. He led a lorw diamond to the jack. East won, and determined to prevent diamond ruffing. returned his last trump. ‘Ihat was South's undoing. He could not avoid losing another diamond trick and the low heart he still had, and this was one trick toe many.

South's first consideration, up- on taking the lead with the heart ace. should have been dis- Iondis, not tlﬂlwl. The rifh! play from dummy at that point was the diamond queen. 1i’ it lost, the diamond jack would be an- other entry for the lead of trumps and a diamond ruff would both save a trick and produce a third entry. On the ieed of the dis- tnorid queen it would not rnstter whither or no! East covered; deelarer could hold his loss in that suit to one trick at most. and his total losses to one spade, lilo hearts. one diamond and one club. Thus, he would have fulfilled the contract which meant a vulner-

able game. Iy Alex Raymond
