He flew to I tree growing beside I

His eyes hadn't fooled him; he was sure of this now. Right near the edge of that water was a little piece of meat. It must have been left. there by that Man.

The longer he looked. ihe more it watered. Twice he started to fly down beside that tempting little piece of meat. Twice he caught himself just in time. The third time he did fly down. He lighted on the snow-covered lop of a stump very near to that tem- pting bit of meat seemingly just lying on the snow ready to be picked up. He half spread his wings to fly down and pick it. up. then changed his mind and folded his wings. Never could he remember having been so tempt- ed. Never had temptation been harder to resist.

"It. looks all right." he muttered. talking to himself. "I don't see It thing wrong about it or around it, and there matter with my eyes. But what is that piece of meat doing there? If that two-legged person left it tihcre. what did he leave it for? I wish someone would tell me that. Inever wanted anything more in my life."

A certain East-West pair in I tournament defeated their oppon- ents nix tricks on one board -

but came out with a "absolute zero!" Norm aealei-.,. ' East.-llvest vulnerable. ; QKQ5 l QAK1063 0.16 x gKJ2 . Q97 A310 cone N . 2 OAQXO8 W E O: 596 5 exam I dAQ3T I A64 . Q8752 6732 410543

South, a nationally-famous exs pert, WA; not pleased with his hand. and even though his part- ner opened Ihe bidding. he felt that something had to be done against the vulnerable opponents. So the suction proceeded:

North East South West 1 Q Dblc. 1 Q(.') Pass 2 Q Pass Pass Past

Actually, East-West could hhve beaten South seven tricks. but even 350 points would have been poor compensation indeed for the vulnerable slam they could have old and made at either spades or diamonds. As a matter of fact, most of the other pairs siltinlt In their position did reach ct Islam. but even those. more con- iservative East-West who stopped at ga-me earned quiie ll few more points than this pair collected.

East argued that with West re- fusing to make in bid over South's spade, he (East) could not count on even a game, his way. and that since he had been afraid that a double of two spades would drive South back to hearts. he had decided to see how many tricks he could set the spade contract.

It is difficult to see the logic of East's stand. but simple fair- ness doeo reveal one point in his favor. That point is thnt West might. well have announced the not-In-considerable strength of his own hand (In the light of East's takeout double) by bidding two diamonds over one solid?-
