THE DOUBLE TEST

The only way to find the best Is proving it by thorou- h test. -Old Mot. er Nature.

rMother Nature had been late in shaking her snow clouds hard enough and often enough to keep the ground white. Some days the ground would be bare of snow. Some days the ground would be bare in places and covered with snow in other places. On only a few days had the ground been all white. Then the snow had lasted for only a little while.

It had been hard on Jumper the Hare. He said so, and it was so His neighbors agreed. Ho didn't complain without reason. And it was all on account of his coat. He couldn't change it to meet all three conditions.

"If only 'I could do it and undo

it when I want to." he sighed to his smaller cousin, Peter Rabbit. “Do and undo what?" asked Ptter. He looked puzzled. "Change my coat." replied his I

East carefully considered the sit- uation,_then played the heart jack. West continued with the ace and another heart-and afibr that South could not be defeated. With the heart queen established, he could well afford the loss of a trump trick.

West. highly indignant, asked his partner: "Why the emphatic come- On Signal in hearts? If you had Played your lowest heart, I would have shifted to a diamond, and we would have taken two more heart tricks as well as a spade.

East's answer was rather caustic. He pointed out in no uncertain language that if he had held the heart queen and jack he would have played the queen on the first trick; hence that his actual play of the jack had absolutely denied the queen. This, of course, was the soundest sort of argument. based on nothing but logic. ~

West‘ should have had no dif- ficulty in deciphering East's jack play. From East's point of view, it was desirable to tell West two separate things: (1) that East did not have the heart queen, and (2) that East could not support any shift West chose to make. Thus, West would have to watch him- self, not only to discontinue hearts so that declarer’: marked queen would not be established. but to make s. shift that would not Jeo- pardlzs anything he held outside. (For example if West had the diamond king, East was implying that he could not support a dia- mond shift.) Actually, of course,

West could have shifted to the diamond queen in perfect safety.

"What differ-ﬁes would it make?" asked Peterf

"Ail the difference in the world." replied Jumper. “It would take a load off my mind. It oerr- talnly would do that. It would save me a. lot of worry. Then I could always be dressed just right.”

“i-luhl" said Peter. He seldom gives thought to his appearance.

“Yes." continued Jumper, “it would make all the difference in the world. When the ground is bare qr covered with brown leaves I would wear by brown coat. when there are patches of snow here and there I would wear my brown- end-white coat. When everything around me is white I would put on my white coat. As it is now I have but two coats, a brown one for

summer and a. white one for iviuier."

"You are lucky," interrupted Peter.

“l-low am I lucky?“ demanded Jumper.

"To have a white coat in win-

Ler. I wish I had one." declared Peter.

"Oh!" said Jumper.

"Yes," said Peter "I have a

summer coat and a winter ooat but there isnt very much dif- ference excepting that one is warmer than the other. Many times I have wished I had s. white coat. If I did have I cei-talnly would get around a lot more in winter than I do now."

"I wonder how Mrs. Peter would like that." chuckled Jumper.

"Probably she wouldn't like it." Peter admitted honestly; “just the same I wish I had a. white coat."

"it is all right when the ground is white but it is all wrong when the ground isn't white. and this year there has been a lot of time with no snow at all since I sot my white coat. I've never 1n all my life been so uneasy and scared as I have this winter. A good many times I have wished I didn't have a white coat."

“A brown coat when everything else is white is just as bad." de- clared Peter.

Jumper shook his head. "I don't think so. I've tried it both ways and I ought to know." said he.

Peter was under a tangle of brambles. Jumper was too big to get through the opening leading under the brambles, so he was squatting outside in the open. His ears were laid back along his shoulders. The tips were dark. Otherwise he was as white as the snow on which he was quatting. Just then Terror the Go awk ar- rived. He perched in a tree close by. He stared straight at Jumper yet didn't see him.

For a long. long time Terror sat there. And all that long, long time Jumper squatted out there in the open without moving so much as a whisker. All that Terror saw was s small heap of snow. At last he flew away. Jumper drew a long breath. Never in his life had he wanted more to run. but somehow he had kept still. It had been a test of his faith in the wisdom of Old Mother Nature, who all the time had been whispering to him not to move, and a test of that white coat. Watching from the safety of_the brambles, Peter had wished more than ever

that he had a white coat.
