A JOKE 0N BLACK PUSSY

Lite is ever playing jokes, . Now and then one that provokes. _ —Old Mother Nature, Black Pussy goes hunting tor the same reason that most two- lqged hunters with guns go hunt- ing-ior iun. They call it sport, Those they hunt do notcallit sport, and they do not find it fun. Most of these hunters do not have to hunt in order to live. All iurrea and feathered hunters in the Green Forest and on the Green Meadnus must. Black Pussy is another who doesn't have to hunt. He has plenty to eat at Farmer Brown's house. Ills hunting is done wholly for fun-- so-oalled sport. This lovely fall day Black Pussy had gone hunting on the Green Meadows. Quite by accident he had iound Nimbleheels the Jumping Mouse. on his way to his winter home for the long sleep called hibematlon. Black Pussy had caught many Mice as he thought he knew all about them. They al- v/dys ran lot a hiding place. He ex- pected this one to run and was ready, Instead’ oi running Nimble- heels jumped. And what e. jump! Blacky jumped too, but too late. l-lis jump was short, much too short. Never was there a more

REGARDING SLAM INVTATIONS There are cases in which a player cannot afford more than a vague slam invltation—somethixi; like raising his partner's iour-spade bid to five. This, however, should be avoided whenever specific in- {urination can be givenor a specific "question" can be asked. Let's bek at a deal:

that his selection mattered-and South could soon claim twelve tricks.

In the discussion that inevitably followed. North expressed surprise (andallttle grief) over South's foli- ure to carry the five-heart contract to a slam, arguing that South's excellent distribution fully xvar- ranted the final step. South was oi’ a difierent opinion. He pointed to the fact that he was void in North's first-bid suit, diamonds, and he had had grave doubts about being able to dispose ot his iour losing spades. He had lelt sure (he said) that North could not have the cluo ace, the heart king, and the spade king, and therefore, with one key card, at least, in the hands of the enemy, the sl:,m investment had not looked good. Above everything else. South insisted. he could not safely bid the slam without know- ledge that North had some sort o; spade tit.

Perhaps, as North felt, South should have bid the slam Simpiy in the light o! the information a‘.- resdy received, but there was cer- tainly more than a grain or logic in South's caution! The tact oi the matter was that North did not give the proper slam invitation! l-le had already given his preference tor hearts over spades; that being so, if he wanted to carry on beyond iour hearts (as his holding iuily justified), the logical and construc- tive method wss to bid four spades, instead of five hearts,

He felt sure Nimblehecls hadn't . ' come out.

surprised Cat. He never before‘ had seen that kind oi’ a Mouse, n Jump- ing Mouse.

For a iew minutes there was a lively scene there on the Green Meadows with some long and fancy jumping on the part of Nimble- heels, and some frantic rushing about by Black Pussy. He could only guess, and always guessed wrong, which way that Mouse would jump next, The Last Black Pussy saw oi’ Nimbleheels was the end o1 his long slender tail dis- appearing in a small hole in the ground, a, hole just big enough ior a, Mouse. Nimbleheels had safely reached his winter home in the ground.

"So this is where that Mouse lives," thought Black Pussy as he sniffed at the small entrance- His whiskers twitched at the strong Mouse smell. "He'll come out again. I'll just keep quiet close by where he can't see me when he peeps out to see ll the way is clear, They all do it sooner or later. All I haze to do is to be patient."

So Black Pussy settled himself comlortably in the grass close by the hole, ready to spring on that Mouse when he appeared. More times than he could remember he had watched in just that way be- side Mouse holes in Farrier Brown's barn and sooner or later had caught a Mouse. Anyway i! this Mouse didn't come out again to- day there were other days coming. ‘New that winter homo that Nimbleheels had prepared was near the dear 01d Brlar-patch although Peter had not known it. It happened that. he sew the exciting gsgne of hlde-and-seek t tween Nimbleheels ‘and Black Pussy. Peter is a good ljumpel‘ himseli, but the jumping ‘he saw then made him feel as ii .he were no jumper at all. He had Iwatched Black Pussy poking about _near the place where he had last [seen Nimbleheels and finally settle down there to watch.

"That's where his hole is" thought Peter. ‘"1 hope he will have ,sense enough not to come out again while that Cat is around. lt will be just too bad il he does come out.“

Then Peter remembered something, Nimbleheels had told him that very day that he was sleepy and was going to bed to sleep all winter. 1-le had yawned when he said it, lie had bidden Peter good-by. Could it be that it was his winter home that Nimbleheels had gone into? I! so, Black Pussy would have a long, long wait. Peter chuckled at the"thought. what s joke that would be!

Peter grew sleepy watching Black Pussy and began to doze. New and then he would woken long enough to look over to see ii‘ Black PilF-i? was still there. At long last he opened hLs eyes to‘ find Black Pussy nowhere in sight. SuFo the way was clear, Peter went over to look for the entrance to the home oi’ Nlmbioheels. Because he knew now just where to look he had no trouble in finding it even though it was partly hidden by overhanging grass. he felt sure Nimbleheels hadn't come out.

The next day Black Pussy was back there watching that hole. He was there fr: a while the next day and the next. He was nothing if not patient. Every day Peter watched him and chuckled. He was sure now that Nimbleheels was asleep for the winter. That Cat would have a long wait. There was no doubt about that. What a joke!
