"The greedy thing!" exclaimed Mother Brown.

"I suppose," said Mother Brown, "you will tell me that Sammy Jay pays for these seeds he takes."

Tommy nodded. "He sure does." said he. "Sammy does some mis-

”You should really find some way of making him pay for them be- cause he takes such 8. lot." said Mother Brown.

"He pays all right." said Tommy. "He may not be paying for them now, but he will by and by. I've watched him eat Tent Caterpillars in the spring until Iive wondered how he could hold another one. You know what a nuisance those Tent Caterpillars are. They are hairy Caterpillars, and not many Birds will eat hairy Caterpillar: Sammy eats a. lot of some of the worst pests our trees have. And how he does love Crasshoppers, and May Beetles. Not only that, but Sammy is a planter too."

Mother Brown gave Tommy an- other lunny look. "What do you mean by saying he's a planter?” she wanted to know.

"I lmow of several oak trees and nut trees that I am reasonably sure Sammy Jay planted. They are little trees now. but they'll be big trees in time. And all because Sammy buried some acorns and nuts. and then forgot where he buried them: or perhaps didn't need them, so never took them up again. He can come to my feeding shelf just as often as he wants to. Ho does some mischief. but then who doesn't?" said Tommy. Just then Sammy Jay lighted on the shelf again. and began to stuff his throat with seeds. i

The declarerc "plan of letting up 0. long side suit in the following hand was not well considered, , , .

Northdealer. Both sides vulnerable. 43 QAK1 gA1os543 K92 Q63 K987 9A ,2 N 1.1954” OQ1032 iv E 60993, 97 s S 4.3 4.864 Q1054 '86 igKJ q.AQ.T1075 , The bidding: , i'North East Boufh West ll. Pass 24. Pass i2Q Pass 34. Pass 44. Pass 54. Pass 8;. Pas: Pass Pass

North went in for a variety of "partner trapping" in this hand. If he was slam-minded. the obviously correct technique was to Jump from three to five clubs -s not to give a gingerly raise and then. when South went on the game, to bid the slam. There was nothing in South's bidding which implied that he could fill North's spotty diamond suit.

West opened the heart deuce. The ace won, and South decided to es- tablish the diamonds for spade dis- cards. He drew three rounds of trumps, then cashed the diamond king and led the jack.

West's failure to follow the second diamond was a shock to the de- ciarer. who now was in a hopeless position, It would take two ruffs to drive out East's queen and nine of diamonds, and dummy no longer had the entries for this maneuver. So South had to lose all three of his spadesl

This was a hand that called for the ruffing of losers - spades, of course -- rather than the suit- establishment plan. surely, there was only the remoiest danger that either defender had started with a singleton heart, and. aside from that success was assured by merely leading the spade jack at the sec- ond trick. suppose East won and returned a trump - as good de- fense as any. South would simply win in his own hand, ruff a spade. lead to the diamond king and ruff his last spade, than cash the heart king. ruff a heart high, and draw trumps.
