DRIVEN OUT There comes a. time when most ' in tin Thttyre better out, or sight and in . -short-tail the shrew.

All Bhrews are smau. some or them the smallest four-legged iolk that wear (us in all the Great World. I don't dare to tell you how, small the smallest are because I am ieariui you wouldn't believe me. and that wouldn't do at all. There is nothing much worse than having What You say doubted. not believed. -

But Iili tell you this much: Ten- ny Weenll. one or the smaller of the Shrew family. is to other ani- mals what Hummer the Humming bird is to the feathered folk. Just as Blower the Whale is the larg- est of all animals, so 3 Shrew is my smallest. and it would take many millions of shrews to equal ii Whale. '

Short-Tail, so called because his tail is short for a shrew. just as the tail of Danny Meadow Mouse is short ior a Mouse, isn't the

ysmallest member of the family. but

he is very small, smaller Danny and such is iierce little lighter that Danny takes to his heels at sight of him. and Danny Meadow Mouse isn't a coward. No. sir. he isn't a coward at all. n he should be oomered. he would Iight hard, but he couldn't win and no knows he couldn't win. so he is wise enough to run when he knows

When an opponent opens the bidding. and you have a P9149051! good suit in which to overca1l- better be sure that a. takeout double is not more appropriate to the

contract; indeed, since West open- ed the club ace. south could have garnered an extra trick.

It is not the bidding, however. but the play which is interesting in this deal, because the fact is that East West did not even men- tion their best contract-clubs! This was due to Westfs failure to make a takeout double 0! the spade bid. Regardless of the score, this double would have given East-West tar greater "flexibility" than they had when West bid and rebid dia- monds. East. ior all or his seven- card suit, could not well attend to enter the auction. because the very fact that west had not doubled a spade was an indication that he was met interested" in East's suit. Then. when west rebid three dia-- monds over two spades, East could scarcely consider entering the with his one queen and one jack.

The iight didn't last but a minute.

short-tail is near.

Mrs. Short-Tail is just as iiaroe. has just as quick and bad a temp- er, and with both of them it is be- cause they are always hungry. There is nothing like hunger to make iolks quick-tempered and fierce. short-tail and Mrs. Short- tail get along together pretty well most oi the time but, sometimes they quarrel. I am sorry to say You see, in some ways they are not so very diiierent irom icr lolks. And when they do qua iel, Short-tail gets the worse or it.

They were quarreling now, and so busy doing it that they didr.". notice Peter Rabbit who happened along just then. In line squeal.-y voice, so line that they could be heard only a very short way air. they were scolding. In ii. moment they were lighting. biting and clawing each other as it they hated one another when all the time they loved. It is queer one or the queer things or liie. how love can turn to hate and back again.

The light didn't last but a min- ute or two. Then short-tail back- ied away, scolding angrily. but lbacking just the same.

' "Now you are out stay out and

idonit comeback! Do you hear?" ,shrieked Mrs. short-tail in a line

squeaky voice.

"It is my home as much as yours," squeaked short-tail.

"It was but it isn't now." squeak- ed Mrs. Short-tail. and ground her

illttie teeth. small as they were.

they made a. most unpleasant sound.

"Who says so?" demanded short- tail in an angry squeak.

"I do. Isn't that enough?" shriek- ed Mrs. Short-tail. darting at him.

Evidently it was enough. ior

- short-tail took to his heels and this

time he didn't turn back. Perhaps he was too hungry to quarrel any longer. '

"You weren't really and truly driving him out or your home. were you?" asked Peter.

"If he doesn't think so and tries to come back. he'll find out," sq-ueaked the little shrew iierceiy.

"But what (or? What have you driven him out tor?" cried Peter.

"There isn't room tor him. or soon won't be. I need his room, not his company." was the sharp re- tort

"supposing he never comes back," ventured Peter.

Mrs. short-tail didn't look at all worried. she wasn't. "He'll come back." said she carelessly. "He'll come back as soon as I'll let him."

when will that be?" Peter want- ed to know.

"When there is room enough." was the dry reply. as Mrs. short- tail disappeared through a tiny round. Just big enough doorway, in a ball or grass and leaves just under the surface at the ground.

might well have bought the hand
