Farmer Brown's boy had found a Fox held fast in the cruel jaws of a steel trap. He was weak from starvation and suffering, for he had been held tn that several clays. He. was frightened and hopeless. Farmer Brown's boy had taken him home. carefully bathed and bandaged the paw so painfully hurt by the Jaws of the trap, and had put. him in a pen in which was a sleeping box with a comfortable bed. Every day he bathed that hurt paw and treated it with ointment until the swelling had gone down and the paw was healed enough to lt-aw off the bandage.
The Fox Wns fully grown but young. Under the good treatment he was receiving he recovered rap- idly. He no longer knew what real hunger was like. Each day he had plenty to eat, all he wailtod and more, and he didn't have lo hunt for it. It was always \\';lf‘.‘\'

It may seem odd to speak about “fashions“ in bridge bidding, but actually lt is an appropriate word. We have gone a long way since the first few years of contract bridge, and what would have been an acceptable bldclin: decision in, say, 1939. is perhaps a discredited choice today. Let's examine this point in connection with an actual deal:

you are. If I hadn't found you, thanks to Roddy Fox. who led me to you, you wouldn't be alive now. No. sir, you wouldn't. You would have starved to death or the trap- per would have killed you. One or the other surely would have hap- pened. But, of course, you don't know that, and you don't. under- stand a word I am saving. All you know ls that you are a prisoner. and I suppose that no one who is a prisoner, even a prisoner of kind- ness, can be wholly happy. But lf that paw keeps on healing as fast as it is doing now you won't be a prisoner very much longer.” said he. "That is a promise. but of course it doesn't moan a thing to you. You will have to wait and see,” he added. When the bandage was taken off the young Fox licked the paw often and this seemed to do it good. For a few clays he was so lame when he put that foot down he walked about on three legs most of the time. But. day by day he used that paw more. 'I‘.here was a scar where those cruel jaws Trad bitten into it, but no bones had been broken and in time the paw would be as good as ever. But the better and stronger ll: got. the more (hscontented and unhappy he grew. Discontent and happiness irever go together. They just don't mix. Two or three times at night he heard Roddy Fox bark. Roddy knew where he was and those were friendly barks. But they made the young Fox more unhappy than ever. If. would have been better if Redtly had kept away altogether. At lnsLcame a day of strange happenings. Farmer Brown's boy brought him an extra good break- fast of things of which ho was specially fond. Afterward began the strange happenings. Right away he was a badly frightened young Fox, more frightened than he had been at any time since he was in the trap. First. he was put in a box just big enough for him to turn around in. Over the top was wire netting. Now he really was a prisoner, and it wasn't a happy fer-ling. Then the hox was lifted and that was a strange and disturbing feeling. It was put in a strange monster with a most. tin. ploasant smell, and that made a 551111189 noise as it carried him away. Ho crouched close to the bottom of tho box and I suspect
