Little Jim, small son oi Jimmy skunk. was a willing little prison- er of Farmer Brown's boy. Fanner Brown's boy didnt think of him as a prisoner. but as a pet. Probably Little Jim didn't think of himself as a prisoner either. although he was kept in a pen from which he could not get out himself. It had become home. not a prison.

Farmer Brown's boy was show- ing Little Jim to a iriend. "Oi course you have had his little bag of scent removed." remarked the friend.

"0! course i' have done nothing of the sort." replied Farmer Brown's boy. "It wouldn't be fair to hlm.'

"What do you mean, it wouldn't be fair to him?" asked the other. "He hasn't any use for it here and he might make it mighty unpleas- ant for somebody."

"He won't,"i replied Farmer Brown's boy. confidently. "That is, he won't unless some one tries to ...:.m..:m..?....

There is no type of play which is more often useful than the so- called "avoidance" play. (The title could perhaps be more descriptive.) Experts use this term to mean: Keeping the dangerous defenders off the lead. The following deal oiiars a typical illustration:

North dealer." East-West vulnerable.

At first glance, It-seems that North's second bid, a mere raise to game at notrump, was too weak 70” I115 h0IdInI. but North realized that his six hopeless losers in hearts and clubs put a slam vmu- EIIN out of the question. South's two-noirump response was a fairly "F03 bid. hut it certainly did not indicate the ability to solidify North's spades, to supply a high diamond. and still to take care of enough losers in the other suits.

West opened the heart four. East played the ten, and south won with the queen. Now a count of tricks told South that he could de- pend on four spades, one heart. two top diamonds and one club, a total of MEN. The ninth trick could obviously come most easllv from an extra diamond trick. On that conclusion, South immediatelv led and passed the diamond Jack. East won, and his heart retum gave West iour tricks. Down om:

South was right about going out for an extra diamond trick, but he was decidedly wrong in his method. The proper play was the ace and king of diamonds! south did not have to worry about West's get- ling in with the diamond queen, if he held it, but he should have done everything he could to pre- vent East from winning a trick, SIDC9 "Shin! the top diamonds was the best saiety play.-in um case the best avoidance play- south had at his disposal. he obvi- ously should have "taken out that, insurance."

He put Little Jim down on the ground and started to wall: on. At once the little Skunk iollowed. his nose to the ground. He was follow- ing with his nose, not his eyes. He was following just as a Dog might. He did his best to keep up with Farmer Brown's boy. when the latter walked too iast, Little Jim gallloped. 11 he got too iar behind

asked the iriend.

Farmer Brown's boy chuckled. "I'm taking him to earn his keep,” said he. ,

There was a funny look on his friend's face. "This is the first time I've ever heard of a Skunlr earning his keep," said he.

By this time they had reached the edged of the Green Madows. The grass had been out. In th- stubble were Grasshoppers. Little Jim began catching them. There Is nothing that a. Skunk likes bet- ter than a Grasshopper. Little Jim would pounce on one, then eat it with relish. He was surprisingly quick, Once he had one in his mouth and one under each little black paw. He had caught 36 when he finally stopped trying to catch them. That was his breakfast. Far- mer Brown's boy laughed. "Last evening he had 28 ior supper,' said he. "Now you know what I meant whn I said that I was tak- ing him out to earn his keep. Ii a Skunk as small as Little Jim can catch that many Grasshoppers for a meal. what must it full-grown do? 1! there is any more useful animal on a term than a skunk. I don't know who it is."

He picked up Little Jim and took him back to his pen. Little Jim was perfectly willing to go. He was sleepy now. He -was ready for a. nap. '

automobiles? If they are not stupid-they would get out oi the way," replied the other.

"It isn't that they are stupid, It is that they have not yet learned that there is anybody or anything that will not get out oi their way. Then, too. it is at night that most of them are killed. The bright lights confuse them. The glare of bright lights is confusing to any one no matter how smart.”
