To be distrustful isn't a pleas--

|Lhey have to be, whether they want i to be or not. Reddy Fox is one. Long ago, wheil he was young, he ‘learned that it is better. far bet- ﬂef. t0 be dlstrustful without cause ‘than too trusttul when there is ,causc to think something may be wrong, This is why his hand- some red coat ls still his own, his very own. There have been many times when he might have last it had he been too trustful. Reddy had found a. young Fox, a stranger to him, in trouble. He was‘ in a brushy hollow a little below an old wood road, one that -was seldom used by any but wood- land folk. It was in a lonesome woodland. That is. it would have been lonesome to you or me had we happened that way. To the ‘woodland folk it probably wasn't lonesome lit all. The quieter and

‘tcam-of-four contest. At one table itile bidding proceeded:

1-21 B

North East South West ———2Q Pass "2N‘i‘ Pass

3 O Pass 5 Q Pass

As may be seen, North easily

made an overtrlck. discarding his losing spade on Dunlmrs (South's) fifth diamond.

At the other table. this was the bidding:

1-21 C

North East South West

5 Q Pass 8 I Pa" Pass Pass

The natural conclusion is that the pair which bid and made the heart slam did yeoman service for its team, and this of course is true in a limited sense. The more pertinent observations can be made, however. that both East- West pairs were "asleep"! Whether or not the vulnerable North- South team reached tile slam, the non-vulnerable East-West pair could make an excellent sacrifice. going down only one trick at five spades and two tricks at six spades. (If North, with remark- able shrewdness. led clubs very early, he could give his partner a club ruff, but this was not a like- ly defense.) Thus, the first East-

"Where did it happen " asked Roddy, although he already knew

less used a place is the better it is liked by most oi’ the furred folk and some of the feathered folk. They don't know what it is to be lonesome. The young Fox was fully grown. as bit! as he ever would be. He had been out in the Great World for himself almost a year, but he still had much to learn. Very likely he had thought he knew all there was to know, but he knew differently now. Had he known as much as he should have known as much as Reddy Fox knew, he wouldn't now be tangled in the brush of that hollow with the cruel jaws of a steel trap biting into one of his black front legs. No, sir, he hadn't known as much as he should have known. He hadn't known enough to be suspicious when he should have been. Now he was in trouble, the very worst trouble a Fox or any one else could possibly be in . Roddy Fox knows traps wllell he sees them. Ha knows all about them, where they are likely to be hidden; how they leap out to grab and hold on to a. careless or un- suspecting foot; how they bite through skin and flash to the bone; how they never let go. holding the one they have caught a helpless prisoner. All these things Reddy knows, though how he learned so much without himself being caught I don't know. Perhaps it is because he so early learned to be suspicious. And of course he ls smart. Raddy came elose.- He saw that the paw held in the trap was badly swollen. There was nothing he could do to release it. He saw the chain that led from the trap into the brush. He followed it to where it was fast to a. short, thick stick. This was caught in the brush._§_t was caught in such a way that the young Fox was unable to pull it free. He was held there a help- less prisoner. He was suffering from pain and fright and hunger and thirst. and the dreadful feel- ing of helplessness and hopeless- ness. There is a. name for suffer- ing like that. It is called torture. Reddy looked up the hill to the road. He could see where the mat- tied leaves lhad been disturbed, some of them pulled over. in a long, crooked line from where he was up to the old road. He knew what had disturbed those leaves. It had been done by the dragging of that trap and the stick. A stick or a stone or a small log fastened to the end of a trap chain is called "drag." It is meant to be dragged and sooner or later became caught in brush or around a lcg or tree or stone, and so keep the one trapped‘ from going far. “Where did it happen?” asked Roddy, although he already knew. "Up in the old road," whlmpered the unhappy young Fox. “Didn't you see it?" asked Red-

dy. The young Fox shook his head. "I couldn't. It was covered with leaves. 1t was in the middle of the road, where I have gone back and forth many times. There. was nothing to be seen. not a thing. And then it Jumped up and bit me. I can't get away from it. I can't even get away with it. Whatever am I to do?" whlmpered the young Fox.

This was something Roddy couldn't tell him. He didn't know

these circumstances) instead gambling that the adverse alun might be defeated.
