sheep. He wouldn't hive believed it could have been done had he not,aeen it with his very own eyes. Reddy had been running ahead of a dog. Just before the dog reached the pasture, the sheep had started to run. Roddy had leaped on the

histrail.'1'hedoghadhadtoltop when he reached the place where Reddy had leaped for of course there was no longer any scent.

It was some time later that the young fox had a chance to try this trick. A dog trained to hunt foxes had picked up the trail of the young fox not far from the sheep pasture. Right away the young fox thought of that trick he had seen Reddy play.

"I'll Just try being taken for a, ride myself," thought he, and headed straight for the pasture where the sheep were. He did just as he had seen Reddy do. He wait-i ed until the barking oi the ap-. proachinz dog started the sheep toi running in a panic. The young fox picked out one of the biggest of "the running sheep and raced after him. Then, just as he reached the point from which to jump, his courage failed him. All he could do was to keep right on running at the heels oi that frightened sheep. Two or three times he al- most e up his mind to leap. but each time he was afraid he couldn't make it. Anyway, the sheep was running so fast by this time that he probably would have had trouble holding on.

Before he reached the end of the pasture. the young fox had a chance to slip out from among the running sheep. and did so. He was quite upset. He had failed to do what he started to do because when he needed courage most it had failed him. "Why didn't I jump? Why didn't I Jump?" he kept saying over and over to him- self J

Now. while he had failed to do the thinliie had planned todo-in the way he had planned to do it. he really hadn't failed at all. His trail had been brokeniby the run-

Snutis West North East INT Peas Pass Pass west opened .4115 fourth-highest

spade, and when South properly played dummy'a Jack. he was ex- tremely fortunate to have that card hold the trick. (The jack was the correct play because even if East had one of the high honors. he would scarcely put it up if dum- my played a low -card. Thus, the only good chance to win two spade tricks was that West had led away from king-queen.

At the second trick South start- ed on the suit which was strong- est in the combined hands. namely clubs. On his lead of the five to- ward , the closed hand. East naturally ducked. and the king won. Now a club was returned to the Jack. East won and led his remaining spade. south ducked, but West overtook and knocked out the spade ace.

Now declaror tried for a break in the suit. leading to dummyls queen. but West discarded a. heart. proving that East had another stopper. so, South switched to the heart suit, letting the ten-spot ride. West won and collected his spade tricks. then shifted to the diamond five. Meanwhile. East held tightly to his K-8 of hearts .and the re- sult was that South ended up with exactly two spade tricks. one heart. one diamond and two clubs - Just one tantalizing trick short of the contract.

South overlooked an excellent chance. At the second trick he should'have returned a heart for a finesse. so that he eould use a club entry in dummy for snoth heart finesse. This would have given him the fulfilling trick.
