iTCi-N Fora Ti-ie ,, PRQFiTs To START‘

(By Thornton W. MRS. QUACK EXPLAINS

irouui is eiisiiy impressed: Age‘ with more of wisdom blessed. -~Old Mother Nature.

The black Shadows had crept out from the Purple Hills over the Big River and drawn a curtain of dusk over the big bed of wild rice along one shore. The rice plants that in summer and early ~fall had stood tall and greet. in the shallow water were now brown from the touch of Jack Frost, some still standing, but more bent. or broken

Out in the middle of the Big Rivet Mr. and Mrs. Quack had waited {or the coining of the Black Shadows, then in the midst of them had led their flock to the rice bed. Now well hidden under the brown stalks and lciivesjihose Ducks were swimming about cun- ientedly, tipping up to search for the fine grains oi’ rice on the bot.- tom, talking over the day's long flight and the adventures.

They had arrived laie in the afternoon. tired and hungry. The

two wise old leaders had kept

them out on the middle of the Big River. They could see a flock of Ducks at the edge of the rice. One hidden in the middle of the big beddrept calling 0o tlleni, inviting them in to come get that delicious rice. Mrs. Quack said no, and Mr. Quack said no.

Then a lone Duck had come from up river, heeded that call, flown over the rice. aind now would fly no more. A hunter with a dreadful gun had been hidden in the rice. It. was he who had been calling. The Ducks close to the rice were wooden decoys. Now hunter arid decoys we're gone.

"You known didn't you“ said one young Duck to his mother.

Mrs. Quack ziodded “Of course I knew." she replied.

“How did you know?" asked an- other, who was listening.

"By looking and listening." re~ plied Mrs. Quack.

"We all looked and listened." said another.

“Not really. You ihougiut you looked and listened but all you saw was what you wanted to see and all you heard was what you wanted to hear. You had flown a long ivay. You were tired and you were hungry’. You ivnnteci to rest. and to eat. You saw a flock rest- ing on the water quietly at the edge of this rice. It meant to you that they were not afraid, so there could be no danger. You heard some one hidden in the rice call- ing you, and that was something you wanted to hear.“ said Mrs. Quack.

“Whsi: more was there to see or hear?" demanded s. handsome young drake.

“What I saw at once. Those Ducks were too quiet. No one lifted a head or turned to watch us. Not one swam about. or preened a feather. or stretched a wing. There was only one voice from the rice, and it called too much. it was too anxious to have us come over there. And there was something not. quite right about that voice." explained Mrs. Quack.

"Just so." said Mr. Quack, nod- ding his handsome gteen head. “Just. so."

"S0," Mrs. Quack went on. "I

knew that something was wrong and something wrong almost means danger. You saw what. happened to that lone Duck who did what you would have done, had I not kept you back."

"We've seen it. happen so many times since we made the’ long jour- ney f0!‘ the first time that we dis- trust every one and everything un- Lil we are sure that there la no danger. Even then we are slow to Bwelvi- things as they appear to be. You young Ducks have B lot to learn if you would live long. It is better to learn from your elders who know from experience than to risk fright and pain and worse by trusting to your own judgment, If you hadn't obeyed Mrs. Quack some of you would be right now where that lone flycr is." said Mrs. Quack.

“Where is he?" asked n bright young listener.

"l don‘t know." confessed Mrs. Quack. "But. I do l\'i‘iO\V that we will never see him again.“

The bidding: South West North East 1 Q Pass 3 Q Pass 4 Q Pass 5 (a Pass Pass Pass

Nimh "BPPQI: his partner iirien he bid three and then five Bpadas jeopardizing the game. It 1s true that l" had R good hand, but it would have been lfll‘ more logical ho make an artificial jump take. Wl- 511611 us three clubs. on the first round, and then not a bid so vigorously over the grime lei-er

West opened the diamond four, Declarer captured East's qu an and laid down the spade king. iiiding out. that there was a sure spade loser, he then started to strip the hand, leading to the heart ace and ruffing a heart. then going back to the spade ace and ruffing gum. my's last. heart.

Now South cashed his other dis. mvnd trick. and when he saw the ten fall from East, he was set. isfied that that defender was out of diamonds. (If he wasn't, there Wes Iwbhinz South could do about ii. anyway.) So, instead of blindly taking the club finesse, South threw East in with the high trump and. iis South hoped. East was forced to. return a cluh up to dummfs tenace. A diamond trick had to be conceded to West, of course, but the contract was safe.

Obviously, if South had taken the club finesse. he would have zone down. losing one club, one spadeand one diamond.
