Contract Bridge I: Josephine Ciilbarlcoia UNFOUNDED CRITICISM Of all the unfair criticism that

Young Bob White was a prisoner. He was a prisoner for his own good. He had been shot in one wing, and couldn't. fly. It had been his good luck to be found by Farmer Brown's Boy, although at the time he didn't know it was good luck. He had been put in a wire pen near the henyard. He had every- thing done for him that could be done to make him comfortable. Farmer Browns Boy made at pet of him.

"You'll spoil that bird," said ,Mothor Bron n. "When you give him his liberty, as I know you will some day. he won't know how to take care at himself. Ho won't know how to find his own food, and he won't know how to watch out for enem- ies, or which ones to watch out for."

It did seem as it Mother Brown imight be right, at least in some ydegree. So, when the time came to let young Bob have his freedom, Farmer Brown's Boy was a little anxious. The flight feathers had grown out on the wing that had been hurt, and one morning Farm-

Well, perhaps the lead was it shade too desperate: perhaps West lshould have tried something more I”neuti'al.” But there is 0114' thing we shall never know. Suppose South's lluldllig had been:

had a chance to see them up close.

Now that the hunting season was over, and there was nothing to fear from the dreadful guns. Bob White led his flock farther afield. Their only danger now was from care- lessness that would give feathered or four-footed hunters a chance to catch them. when they were scat.- tercd. as they had to be when look- ing for food, each had to look out for himself. It was then that young Bob proved that he was just as alert, Jujst asiwatchful, as if he had never spent where he never had to think of danger. Being a prisoner of kind- ness, with everything done for him, had not spoiled him in the least. Indeed. it sometimes seemed as if he were the quickest to see an enemy. Time and again he was the first to give the alarm.

And because he had been so well cared for by Farmer Brown's Boy. had been so well fed. he was now the biggest of all the young quail. Because of his adventure he was looked up to by his brothers and it was that he be- came something of a leader among them. Next to father and mother the leader of the flock.
