South did not fulfill the three- notrump contract-he went down one. Thereupon. North expressed his opinion of a player who refused to support his partner with four cards in his stilt-hearts.

making use of a small dog who would go into bramble tangles and brier-patches and driye Rabbits out for his master to shoot. Reddy and Mrs. Reddy were making use of that same Dog. Yes. sir. they were doing just that. You see thut hunter could be in only one place at a time, and he couldn't always rightly guess just where a Rabbit would be driven out. Between them Roddy and Mrs. Roddy could and did watch two other places and more often than not :1 Rabbit was driven out. at one of those places.

Of course, all the time the two Foxes were careful in keep out of the hunters sight. He didn't even know they were in the neighbor- hood, His Dog would he barking fast and Joyously. for he was the kind that would rather chase a Rabbit than eat. Abruptly he would stop barking. His master would go ar- nund to where he was and would find him running this way and that way, trying to find the lost trial which, of course. had ended when Raddy or Mrs. Roddy had caught the Rabbit. of course the dog smel- led the Fox scent, but he wasn't interested in Foxes. He had been trained not do he. And 01 course his master didn't; see those Foxes because they were very careful to keep out of! his sight. so what. he- came of those Rabbits was a myst- ery until one morning while wait- Lng for a Rabbit to be driven out where he could shoot it he changed his position just. enough to see ar- ound the end of that particular brier-patch.

Back l little way behind some brush was a little spot. of red. I-lad lhe time been a roiiple. of months earlier. when Autumn was display- ing her brightest colors. he prob- ably would not have noticed that spot of red. But. now winter had begun and there were no bright colors anywhere excepting red ber- ries still on a few bushes. and this wasn't. the bright. red of berries.

For the moment the Dog and the Rabbit were forgotten. "Ha!” ex- claimed the hunter under his breath. "A Fox! Now what. is a fox

All this does not mean that Souths insistence on notriimp was entirely correct-it simply means that he had R, pro-

Deiending against. the notrump contract. West made the bold and rather sensational opening lead of the heart king! Declarer played dummy's ace -a play fcr which he later -was strongly criticized-and then led a. low diamond toward his own jack-ten. East put. up the queen and shifted to the jack of spades (covering dummyis ten.) Now South was in trouble. East had to get in main when South cleared the heart. suit. and coiitiiiued spade leads dc- teated the contract.

Ali numerous expert .1nec'at.crs hastened to point out. South could have made the hand by simple ex- pedient, of giving the first. trick to west. thus establishing tho rat of the hearts without. letting East gel, in. but whether this criticism was justi- fied is another question! Suppose West's heart king was blank! 'I'he:i South would have in give up two tricks in the suit, if he conceded in the king. The fairest. judgment is that South hart a difficult. problem and that his choice of plans ran up agiiinsi. some very unfortunate

breaks.

He dldnl finish The Rabbit had suddenly darted out inl.o the open on the side nearest. Roddy. He was bounding lipperty. lipperty. lip for the nearest b';an1hle-tangle. Raddy sprang out from behind the bushes intent. on catching that Rabbit be- fore he could get in the bramble- tangle. As he leaped out he saw the hunter for the first time. since he had changed his place. He saw the terrible gun being lifted. Reddy is quick. Indeed. fciv are as quick. Like ll flash he changed his direct- ion. turning sharply to one side.

Quick as he was he wasn't quite quick enough. No sir. he wasn't quite quick enoiiqli. There was a sharp bang behind him and even before he heard it. he felt. sharp stings in several places. My, how they did sting! He had no thought for that Rabbit now, He thought only of getting away. You should have seen him run then. The dread- ful gun banged mgaiii but there were no stings this time.

Meanwhile. the Rabbit kept right on intn the next bramble- tangle and this time the Dog kept right after him. There was no mysterious disappcairance of this Rabbit. Suddenly the hunter under- stood whai, had been happening. "So that's it!" he muttered. (Copyright. 1950, by Thornton W. Burgessi
