No dlnner's yours until 'tis eaten; You've lost no race until you're beaten. i -Old Mother Nature. Johnny Chuck had gone farther from home this morning than ever' before since making his new home over on the edge of the Old Pasture 1 He had gone farther than he really had intended to. Sitting up for at look around, he had discovered a patch of sweet clover that he was sure must be sweeter than any has had yet found. He simply had to taste it even if it was farther from home than he intended to go. Up in the (lid Pasture Roddy” Fox looked at Mus. Reddy and grinned. Mrs. Roddy grinned back

at him. "Now is our chance," said! Reddy. "If we don't catch niml this time. we never will catch lnm. He is ours as surely as our coats

are red.” 1

They moved quickly. those two They stole down through the bushes of the Old Pasture almost to the edge of it. They were very. very curt-fui always to keep some bushes between them and Johnny Chuck so iliat if he did look back he would have no chance of seeing them Mrs. Roddy went straight to the back door of Johnny Ch-uck's house which they had found. There was a fine hiding place for her neai enough so that Johnny would have

no chance of getting in without be- - lng caught by her. I

A little way ofi, Roddy Fox was as well hidden close to Johnny Chuck's front. door. Now all they

are good waiters. Both learned. I long. long ago, that one of the keys 5 to success is patience. They really ' didn't mind waiting at all. because

they were so siute that it would ' be rewarded by a good Ohuck din- i her. I so they kept their heads down. 1 and waited and waited and waited 'Tl1eli who should come along but

Sammy Jay. Sammyls bright eyes f saw their red coats. Sammy stopped

away that Reddy and Mrs. Reddy were waiting for someone to come along. Who could it be? Then he looked out on the Green Meadows and saw Johnny Chuck stuffing himself with sweet clover.

He looked at Johnny and he looked back at, Reddy and Mrs. Reddy. He saw right away why Reddy and Mrs. Raddy were hid- int: there. "They are waiting for Johnny Chuck to come home," zihought Sammy. "It looks as if ' they will get him this time. Johnny was crazy to go so far from his own doorstep. I don't see what he can do. I really don't. If they wait long enough. he is bound to come 1 home, and he is bound to be caught Of course Reddy and Mrs. Raddy have a perfect right to catch him it they can, just as the Hawk folk have a perfect right to catch me if they can. But I hate to think of anything happening to Johnny Chuck. Without Johnny around. things wouldn't look right. No. air, they wouldn't. I wonder what he would do if I should give him warn- inst."

But Sammy didn't give warning then. He sat right where he was and watched and waited. Perhaps Reddy and Mrs. Roddy would be- come tired and go away. They did not. And then presently Johnnv Chuck. having eaten all he possibly could hold at one time, started back home. He didn't, hutry. He had eaten too much to hu.rry.'Be- sides. he didn't see any need of hurrying. Sammy watched him and became more and more anxious. Finally, he could keep his tongue still no longer. He left the tree, and flew over above Reddy Fox. "Thief, thief, thief!” he screamed. "Thief, this-i, thieii"

Neither Raddy nor Mrs. Roddy moved so much as-a hair. In fact. they were rather glad that Sammy was giving this warning. Johnny

West decided to open a trump, and south apparently jumped to the conclusion that this lead would be followed up by further trump plays on the defenders parts, thus preventing him from rumng a heart in dummy if hearts didn't break 3-3. So, on his own initiative. South drew the outstanding trumpl. cashed the club ace. went to dum- my with a heart, and discarded I diamond on the club icing. Next. he led a heart, hoping for the 3-3 break of the suit. but this bit of luck was denied him, and down he went.

South was right in feeling that. having opened trumps, the enemv . would continue that defense in an effort to prevent ruffing in dum- my. He was wrong. however in con- cluding that a heart ruff would be impossible. Obsedve the correct line of play:

South wins the first spade trick. cashes iihe club ace, goes to dum- my with a. heart, discards 8. dia- mond on the club king, and then leads another heart. East wins this trick and properly returns A spade, reducing dummy .to one trump. But when another heart is led by declarer, the defenders are helpless. East cannot win this trick unless he uses his last trump to do so; and when West wins, he has no trump to return. Thus, dec- larer is able to ruff his fourth heart in dummy despite the best effort of the opponents, and in this wav collect his tenth triok.

It is :1 peculiar fact that such simple hands as this give more trouble to fairly good players than do far more difficult hands.

Chuck would hear that. and would surely start for home. Raddy hugg- ed the ground and kept his eyes fixed on the little path through the bushes that Johnny had made going to and from his home to his feeding place. Johnny dldnig ap- pear. At long last, Roddy lilted his head enough to look down on the Green Meadows. That dinner he had been so sure of was nowhere in sight. Where had it gone? Where could it have gone"!
