He knew that Mrs Happy Jack and lhvir three children had been iltillg togctlicr in a hollow tree rm far in-mi where, he lived. It H jt as good a house as he had. ind he suspected that four of them

together must be a little crowded in it. Of course he might have taken one or two of the children in with him, but no such thought even entered his head. Children were a nuisance, whether they were his or belonged to someone else. That is how he felt about it. Just selfish, you see.

It was practically the end of win- ter now. There still was an ce- casional cold storm, and the days were anything but warm. However. Mistress Spring was not far away. One day, Happy Jack happened over near the tree in which Mrs. Happy Jack and the children had spent the winter. It reminded him

that he hadn't seen the young Squirrels lately. Neither had he

seen their mother. Could it be that they had moved to another part of the Green Forest? Could it be

He jerked his big bushy tail impatiently. Whv wasn't there anybody about? Fimny. he could stand it no longer. He would go over and look in that house. If he did that he could soon tell if anybody was living there now.

Happy Jack first looked this way, then that way. and on all sides. He wanted to be sure that no one would see him visit the home of .Mrs. Happy Jack's. People who do things they shouldn't.do. always try not to be seen. Then he ran out on a branch and jumped across to a neighboring tree. There he stop- ped to look all around once more. He didn't see anybody. He ran down the tree to the ground and across to the foot of the tree in which Mrs. Happy Jack had her home. Once more he hastily looked all around, Then he climbed 'that tree. and he climbed fast. He climbed straitzht up to the door- way of that home. There he rluntz for It moment.

REMARKABLE DEFENSE

It is one thing to make brilliant plays at the bridge table. and quite a different thing to discover the same plays in double - dummy fashion, i.e., with the four hands exposed. Which brings up the mat- ter of the hand below. This was sent. to us with the assurance that the defense went exactly as de- scribed. We cannot testify to the truth of the statement. but we can say that if it is true, East was quite a defenderl '

West. opened the heart jack-and at this point it is worth observing that. the three-notrump contract would be fulfilled against almost every East-West pair in the world, assuming only average bridge in- tclllgence on South's part. The very natural play by East at Trick 1 is the heart ace, with a continuation of the heart queen. Declarer has only to duck the queen lead. and he is as good as home.

There are many players who. holding ace-queen-small in hearts. would put in -the queen instead of the acc to make declarcr take his king at onceva maneuver which would not be needed in this case since West has a diamond entrv-- but the actual East in this deal

the heart queen from A-Q blank' The result of this tar-seeing coup was as follows:

Since East's play had been made without any revealing hesi- tation, South could not afford to

, duck; he took the trick with tht

kin: and led the diamond kimz. Just as East had honed. West not only had a diamond stormer but he pronerlv held it no-declarer's kim: might be singleton. When South nroduced the second diamond. however, West went in with his ;cc-and. as per nlan, East discarded his is-art 2-"! West could then run of! five tricks.
