“Who is Hooty the Owl?" asked Biaclry. "And why would it. he too bad if he should see me?"

Peter blinked. It was hard tor him to believe his own ears. “Don't tell me you don't know l-iooty the Owl!" he cried.

“How should I? I've never seen him or heard of him. He has never been around where I have lived," replied his cousin.

Just then Hootyks hlllltlilg call came clear and loud from nver in the Green Forest. Blacky never had heard it before and knrnv no- thing about l-looty, but somehow that sound gave him a sort of scary feeling. He was afraid with- out knowing why he was afraid.

black cousin started to follow. Then he saw an opening between the stones oi the old wall. It. looked interesting. He stopped to look in- to it. He went down in it. to see where it. led to. When he put his head out again Peter was some distance away. He hadn't noticed that Blacky wasn't iollowng him. But sitting just outside the bushes growing beside the old wall was a handsome stranger.

He was much bigger than Blacky. To the latter he seemed the hand- somest person he ever had seen. He was sitting in the moonlight and Blacky could see him clearly. He wore a lovely red coat and a white waistcoat. He wore black stockings. His ears were black and his face was long and sharp. e little loo sharp. But Biaclcy, staring most. impolitciy in round-eyed admirat- lon, didn't think of this.

"Ah," said the handsome crea- ture, "can I believe my eyes? Can l truly be looking at one oi Peter Rabbit's cousins in a black coat?" He spoke in the pleasontest. way.

"I elm Peter's cousin," admitted Blacky.

"And so handsome," said pleasant stranger.

"Peter is going to show me the Great. World," said Blacky

"Splendid. You should see the Great World. Peter can show you a. little of it, but not much. He doesn't get around as I do. He 15 tog small t0 too timid. NOW I 8° everywhere. I know the Great- World as your cousin-tor unless 1 am much mistaken you are bigger l than Peter—ncvcr can. I ivould

the trump finesse. West, however, won and correctly shifted to a dia- mond. Declarer had to put up d-ummy's ace to avert immediate defeat, and he still had a serious

problem to settle!

Obviously enough. South could overtake dummy’! spade jack with the ace and, if necessary. lead an-

other round oi trumps, but then he

would have to depend on a 3-3

break o1’ the club suit, so that he

could discard a heart and a dia- mond. South knew that the odds are almost 2 to 1 against ouch a- break, and he therefore looked for s. safer plan.

After much study. he saw that whatever he did would involve risk, but at least. he could increase his chances, i! only slightlyl So he chose the better "percentage" plan. He cashed only two high clubs, thcn ruffed a low club with a hlllh trump. Now he led n. trump to the jnek—and by having the good fortune to get a 2-2 division of the trumps, he scored up the slain. The club suit was still 8°°d 9°‘ two discards. -
