the Moose at the foot of that tree he was a ‘little more glad. He had thought himself big. He was big. But Flathorns was bigger. oh. very much bigger. And he stood on such long legs that he looked to be bigger than he really was. Buster was glad he could climb a tree and Fiathorns couldn't. Yes sir, he was very glad. He was a scared Bear when he had climbed that tree just in time. He was still a scared Bear. He wasn't afraid up there in the tree, but he was afraid to go down on the ground as long as Flathorns was in the neighborhood, and Flathorns showed no sign of leav- ing. He had Buster tread and it looked very much as if he in- tended to keep him trced, for some time anyway. Buster re- membered how he had done that once before, n, long time ago.

“Come down and fight!" grunted Flathorns.

Contract Bridge

FAVOR. FOR FAVOR

The fate of the game contract in today's deal hung on the first trick. Declarer could have protected himself. but didn't; then East could have taken advantage of the situ- atioh—but didn't!

South West North East INT Pass 2Q Pass 3N1‘ Pass Pass Pass

South's three-notrump bid was extremely optimistic, especially since North's takeout to two diamonds had been a weak response.

West opened the heart three. Dummy played low; East put up the ace and returned the heart ten. Deciarer correctly held up the king. West won with the queen, and hoping to regain the lead in clubs, led a. third round of hearts to remove South's stopper.

Now, since there was obviously no chance for nine tricks except by establishing diamonds, declarer laid down the king. East held up the ace, but it was soon driven out by South's continued diamond leads. When East returned a club. declsrer naturally declined the finesse; he won with two spade tricks for his contract.

There were two errors in this deal. East should have realized that South probably had the heart king and would hold it up; there- fore East should have made that hold-up appear very dangerous by putting in the heart ten instead of the acel This would have virtually forced South to his king on the first round-or run the great risk o! taking no trick in the suit.

Remarkably enough, hoxvever. South could have countered this defense on East's part, even before it happened. by putting dummy; heart jack on the first trick! Then East could not profitably refuse to play his ace.

Buster Bear. I “You boasted that everybody the Green Forest is afraid of you and that you are not afraid of anyone. Now come down and

prove it," snorted Flnthorns.

“l didn't mean you. Of course I didn't. You know l didn't. YOU know I wouldn't be so foolish as .to say you are afraid of me. I imeant everybody but you." whirled ;Buster.

"Then why didn't you say soi And even that wasn't true. You've igot big paws and big claws, not to mention big teeth. and you know fhow to use them. All I've 80$

. are hoofs and antlers. Come down

here and let's sec if your paws and claws and teeth are as good las my hoofa andantlers." Flat- horns grunted. He scraped some bark from the trunk of the tree with those antlers; horns most folk call them, although they are not true horns. The sound of lthem against the tree was most iunpleasant. It gave Buster a. most ‘uncomfortable. shivery sort of feeling.

“We haven't any quarrelany- thing to fight over." Buster w-liined.

"Then we'll fight just to see who iS the best fighter; which one in all the Green Forest can go and come as he pleases. airaid of no one." snorted Flathorns.

“You are the best," cried Buster hastily. "Everybody knows that. Aren't you called the Mighty One? That is nothing to fight over,"

“But I want to fightl" snorted Fiathorns. He straddled a» young

ltree, bent it over with his great weight and beat it to pieces with his antlers. swinging them from side to side as easily as if they were feathers, aithouqh they really were so heavy that you or I would lhave found them heavy to lift easily. to say nothing of swing- ing them.

Buster looked at them and at the long-pointed hoois of Flathorns with which he could strike a ter- rible cutting blow. He hitched s lbit higher in the tree. He would stay right up in that tree until he lvras sure that the Mighty One was

no longer about.

At long last Fiathorns disap- peered. Big as he was he moved through the woods without mak- ing a sound. Buster waited until he was sure Fiathorns really had gone away. Buster has good ears and he knows how to, use them. l-Ie heard nothing. It was very still. Blaoky the Crow and Sammy Jay and others who had seen him driven up that tree had grown tired o! waiting to see what would happen when he came down and had left. Buster inched down slowly and carefully. He had just reached the ground when Flat- homs dashed out of ,a thicket and sent him scrambling hack up that tree.

Three times this happened. Buster wasn't comfortable up there for so long. He grew more and more uncomfortable. He wondered if Flathorns ever would let hi.rn down. From far away on the side of the Great Mountain another Moose grunted. The instant Flat- horns heard it he went crashing nway in that direction. Buster Bear hastily backed down part way. then dropped to the ground. How good it felti With the good earth once more under his feet he left in a hurry.
