when Bouth discovered (via the uiccessive lalackwood hide) that North had an ace and a. king, he was tempted to bid seven hearts. because North's original Jump re- aponsc implied a. long suit. But than South gave the matter deep- er thousht and (unfortunately) concluded that North probably would have made his jump bid on a five-card heart suit headed by A-Q-J, with the side king unbalanced distribution. If that was the case. only 12 tricks were in sight -- so South refused to Jeopardin the sure small slam.

Perhaps South should have gone the limit. but there were some grounds for his fear about be five- rsrd cult. and in any event the greater blame for missing the grand slam could be laid at North's door.

Let's attack the proposition in a roundabout fashion. Suppose that North had held nothing but six hearts headed by A-Q or A-Q-J. surely, he still would have been warranted in Jumping to four hearts. laranted, with this he could not Iller show a king in response to Biackwood. but with the diamond klng he would have the same justl- tlration if he had only live hearts.)

It follows that with his actual holding North could well afford a ilronger bid than four hearts to YIVC. Then South could have gone in the grand slam with plete l.K8I.lI'LIiCO.

in other words, the size of the Jump response is all-important.

Anvold trick's just as good as new If it does what 'tia planned to do. -Mrs. Grouse.

From a hiding place, Old Man Coyote was watching a quarrel be- tween Reddy Fox and his cousin. Gray Fox. They hadn't seen him. They didn't know he was anywhere about. They were too intent watch- ing each other, snarling. growling, and threatening. to give any at- tention to anything else. 80 Old Man Coyote stood for a few mom- ents looking on. and all the time wondering what the quarrel was about. Look as he would. he could- not see anything over which they might be quarreling. He had hoped he might see a good breakfast that one or the other.had caught. but nothing of the kind was in sight. Finally he decided to interfere. He was so hungry that he even thought of trying to catch one of them.

From his perch he could also watch Old Man Coyote.

But the two Foxes didn't give him a. chance to even try anything of the kind. The moment he show- ed himself they stopped quarrel- ing, then began to slink away in opposite directions. They .dIdn't go far. Reddy Fox sat down at a safe

distance where he oould watch Old Man Coyote and see what he would do. Gray Fox climbed a little way upinati-ee.forbeiaagood climber. Pr m his perch he could also watch id Man Coyote. At the same time, he would feel perfect- ly safe. g

old Man Coyote looked all about him. -but saw not.h.ing.over-which to fight. He did. however. see two or three slightly hollow places in the crust. and being wise in the ways of the Green Forest he sues- sed what they meant. He guessed that they had been made by Grouse plunging into the mow the night before. And he also guessed that they might now be prisoners under that crust. He was sure of it when he caught a glimpse of Mrs. Grouse walking about not far away.

As soon as Mrs. Grouse saw that Old Man Coyote saw her. aha began to move in a. little neIrer..At the same time she began to pretend. Yes sir. she began to pretend that she" was hurt and couldn't fly. It was an old trick of -her's. She had used it many times succusfully.

More than once that trick had fooled alhun y enemy by leading him away irani her babies. .

"The same old trick." thought Old M511 Coyote. and grinned. But he didn't let her see that grin. she came a little nearer, and little near. er. She began to ilop about on the snow as if she were badly hurt. She really looked quite helpless flopping there. When Old Man Coyote took a few steps toward her she got to her feet, and 5.. gun to limp away with the wing dragging as if it were broken. Old Man Coyote wasn't fooled a bit. HOWOVEF. he made a sudden rush as it to try to catch her. and she whirred away on her stout wings. Old Man Coyote grinned more than War. Then he began walking about. studying the icy crust. He had no doubts whatever now.

"some 0!. the children of Mrs. Grouse are under my feet right here somewhere, and she know. It." thought he. "if only I could break this crust I might catch one." But he couldn't break it, He wasn't heavy enough. He could. not break through anymore than those Fox cousins. He couldn't break in. and the Grouse underneath mm couldn'tv break our
