By Thornton A BRAVE LITTLE MOTHER

Iravery is conquered fear. Not the lack of it. my dear. -Old Mother Nature.

Mn. Happy Jack squirrel was a brave little mother. Most. mothers are brave when their children are in danger. They may not be brave when alone in danger themselves. but mother love makes them brave. Bravery is not being unatrald, but being afraid and conquering leer. There are no braver folk in all the Great World than some or the smaller mothers in the Green For- so: and on the Green Meadows;

Mrs. Happy Jack had ilm N5 I frightful experience. She had had a narrow escape from Flip the Ter- rier. Then another trom Redtail lie Hawk. Flip had so nearly taught her that he had actually pulled a MW hair: from her tail. All the time she had been carrying one or her babies. she was moving her family. She had decided the old home was no longer sate. She had found a new home and was moving the four baby squirrels one by one. she couldnt possibly carry more than one at a time.

The first one had been carried wn'til'iout any danger on the Way. It w-ll while she was carrying the second one that Flip so nearly caught her. Barely in time she had climbed It tree out of his reach. Then Redtail the Hawk had ap- peared. she had ilattened herself agvainst the trunk of the tree and clung there without movina. He :1I(h)'t seen her. Perhaps -you can zuen how she had felt. holding her precious baby and wondering what he would do, or could do, it Red-

It was Mrs. Happy Jack's chance. and yhe got the precious baby I0 the new home. Now there inert two babies in the new home. and two babies in the old home. Mother was sadly worried. She was worried about the two leit at the old homf. suppose something dreadful had happened to them while she was away? They were perfectly help- less, and couldnt do :1 thing for themselves.

she waited only long enough to see that the two babies in the new home were all right. then prepared to go back for another. She poked her head out of the doorway and tor a moment sat there listening. It was still now in that Dart of the Green Forest. That pesky Dog was no longer barking. Redtail the Hawk was no longer sCl'eBmlll8- HEDPY Jack's tongue was still.

Just what did it mean? she wish- ed she knew. Had Happy Jack been caught? Was that the reason tlint it, was so still now? where was that Dog? Was that feathered robber perched in A tree. watching and waiting, or had he ilown away? Was it safe for her to go back tilt way she had come? .

making her way back to the old home. Her heart was iillecl with snxioug fear. Would she find those babies sale? Supposing Prowler the Blacksnake had found them? Pup- posing Shadow the Weasel had hap- pened along that way? supposing Spooky trlie Screech Owl had chanc- ed to visit that hole in the tree?

With every thought of this kind. Mrs. Happy Jack tried to run faster. Her heart was in her throat as she climbed the tree. Anyway it. seemed so. She dreaded to look in- side the old home.

when she did. she found both ba- bies safe, but crying for mother. Tliey had heard her claws on the bark as she climbed the tree. Stop- ping only long enough to lick them and make sure they were alright. she picked up one and started back to the new home.

The baby clung tight around her neck. She was tired. She was very tired. But she ran fast just the same. It seemed to her that she was going back that round about way she would never get to the new home. She was so tired that it was all she could do to climb up to it,

She put the ha-by with the others. made sure that the three were all right. and without resting: started book for the last baby. She was a brave little mother.

It should be observed that South. a m,istcr pltu'ei'. was not satisliied to Jump to two spades on the first round, as so many players would be; he ielt (and obviously. correctly) that his holding warranted a series of strong bids. There was something to be Said. oi course. for leaping straight In (our spades when the diamond bin was passed around to south-but West had been known to "ps,mhe." even when vulnerable. and a leap to game would do noth- ing to uncover that possibility.

The opening lead was the king of clubs. and when the dummy was spread, West. made the soimd shift to the jack of hearts. Declare: saw that the sole "catch" of the hand was to avoid the loss of two diamond tricks. so he made a plan to that end and carried it out ad- mirably. After "inniizg with the blank heart are. he retiiriird the club queen. mxiknig sure oi throw- ing the lead to West.

Nmv, making matteis as difficult as he could for the enciny. West excited with his trump. but South easily countered this maneuver. He won in dummy and ruined a heart. led another trnmn to the table and mixed in second heart. then ruffed his own last club and dummy's last heart.

This left the North and South hands with one trump and three diamonds each. while West was now reduced to the K-Q-8-5 of dia- monds. Declarer simnlv led a low dinrmonrl toward the jerk. and West was end-played. He could not re- fuse to put up an lionnr. because the jack would win. but arlter he won the trick his forced lead from the other honor was of course taken by the jack. Four spades. bid and made.
