Owl wisdom. More often than we think that which seems bad proves in the end to be good. and what at first distresses us makes us glad.

Hooty and Mrs. Hooty are lirst oi all the feathered iolk to set up housekeeping each year. They do not even wait for the coming or sweet' Mistress Spring but while Rough Brother North Wind and Jack Frost are still lingering, while there is still snow in the Green Forest and ice on the pond of Fed- dy the Beaver, they begin nest-

”l-i'e may stay for days and days," cried Mrs. Hooty.

It was just so this year. The had taken possession of the big nest of Redtnil the Hawk who had gone to the Sunny South to spend the winter. They had added a few sticks to it and in it Mrs. Hooty had laid two eggs. These had hatched and by the time other Birds arrived from the Sunny South two hungry babies seemed to father and mother to be always crying to be fed. i

Bobby Coon had found out what was going on in that big tree in a. lonely part of the Green Forest and only the sharp claws and bills and the pounding wings of Booty and Mrs. Hooty had kept him from getting those precious babies. Then Prickly Porky the Porcupine. the Untouchable One. had taken it into his head in climb up in that tree to eat the twigs and bark oi the spreading branches. He had worried l-looty and Mrs. I-Iooty al- most sicli. If it wasn't those babies he was after why had he chosen that tree? There were plenty oi others with just as good twigs and bark if that was all he wanted.

so they had worried and worri- ed for a day or two. Then as he made no attempt to get up to that nest after the precious babies they worried less and less. They were getting used to his being there.

At first they had tried their best to drive him out or the tree. but he hardly took notice of them. He

THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN KING or THE ROYAL MOUNTED

9. contract Bridge,

V By Josephine Culbertson 6 ii.-oe&et&eoecQsror2-taco-seam. THE BIDDING WAS SIGNIFICANT

The declarer cannot have any guarantee or success in such a. deal as the following. no matter now he maneuvers. but keen interpretation or the bidding should set him on the right path.

South dealer. North-South vulnerable and 30 on score.

North 2 O

East 3 It

Dble. Pall Pass Pass

Needless to say. the North-South 30 score affected the bidding. West's two-heart overcall was something of a. stretch in itself, and when he later raised clubs. he was really "putting his neck out." South, however, could not be blam- ed for taking out North's double o.' clubs in view of the vulnerable game which seemed so well within South's grasp. -

West opened the club ace, and on East's encouraging signal at the ten. continued the suit. South ruf- fed and, after some thought, laid down the king and queen 0! trumps. He was visibly disappoint- ed when the jack failed to drop. and his disappointment was well justified inasmuch as the contract was now out of reach. There was no way to avoid the three minor suit losers. and also no way to avoid the loss of a heart to West or, if South ruffed his low heart in dummy. the trump jack to East.

1! South had given more care- ful conideration to West's bidding he might have concluded that spades did not figure to break 2-2. West could not have been particul- arly sound in his heart overcall. and when he later raised his part- ner's clubs. he needed a further excuse for his aggressiveness. Thus. everything pointed to the suspicion that West had a singleton (or per- .haps even a void) in spades. and South should have acted according- ly He should have cashed no more than one high trump from his own hand. then cashed two hearts and ruffed his heart eight with dum- my's spade ace: then finessed againsi East for the spade jack.

thousand little sharp spears called quills carried in his cost. He made it plain that he would stay there as long as it pleased him to do so and nothing they could say or do
