Fox On Watch

THERE! A REASON

Day by day. as we wonder on

And life brings its jays and its cares-

And wonderful nature expresses herself-

In so many different ways.-

There's a reason for all the beauty and joy

- Reddy Fox.

Evcryuiie knows that Reddy Fox is one of the smartest of all the iolks who wear fur. The proof of his smartness is in the fact that he manages to live close to man- kind, despite the fact that man is forever trying to shoot or trap

him.

Reddy had surprised Peter Rab- bit over in Farmer Brown's maple in the Green Forest. it was Farmer Brown and Farmer were busy making They were out coll- when

place for him to go. Reddy had not followed him in. He i-Vouldlllv take the chance that he might Sell trapped in there. Had he gone in after Peter he wouldghave been trapped. A Merry Little Breeze came dancing along and slammed that door shut: just aipr Peter had gone in.

Reddy knew that Peter had no business to be in there and that he would run out the first chance

he got.

" ll I have to do is keep "U1 04 night and wait." thought Reddy. "Sooner or later that door is gmnil to be opened and sooner or later Peter is going to come outf"

so Reddy found a good hiding- lace. He saw Farmer Brown and glarrnsr Brown's boy go home to dinner. He saw Prickly Porky the Porcupine try to get into that su- gar house and fail. He knew that sooner or later Farmer Brown and Farmer Brown's boy would re- turn so he continued to be patient. By and by he heard ii sound that made him sit up quickly and look off among the trees. Some one was coming. Some one was sniiiins and snuifing. It was a young bear. Reddy grinned as he watched him. "lie smells something that he likes and at the same time he's uneasy," Iiought Reddy. .

The young bear would come I little way and then stop. He would hold his head high and sniff and snuff. You see- the Merry Little Breezes were tickling his nose wlth the mingled smell .of'smoke and maple syrup. It.dldI1i. take long for Reddy to discover that Buster Bear was heading toward that sugar house.” Perhaps if he goes over there he'll get in. l-ies '

Young Buster drew nearer and nearer to the sugar house. but he did it very slowly. He kept stopp- ing. Sometimes he hall turned as if to go back, When he did that the Merry Little Breezes would tickle his nose a little more. Twice he even went back a Redoy could hear him whining and grumbling to himself. Would lie go over to that sugar house. or would he be afraid and run away

It is not. as is sometimes stated. a close- out bid. The responding hand may have had only six points (or the spade response. and we want to impress upon him that that little is enough to produce a game. There is therefore the intimation that the opening bid- der has at least 20 points, most' of which will consist of high cards. with the balance being made up or distributional values. There is s vast difference be- tween the responding hand jump- ing directly to game in the open- ing bldder's suit. and the opening bidder jumping to game over partner's response. The former is strictly shutout and denies in- tereat in a slam. but the inner identinss a strong hand including 3 good trump at. Q2. Two clubs.

denoting from 12 to 15' points.

The neutral bid of two clubs has

the advantage of delaying a de-

more is learned about psrtnei-'s

hand. at which time the high

card values and distribution may

be correctly shoim.

Q3. Two diamonds. Although the full values of the hand are not represented.by the minimum rebid. there is not much hope of a game unlcss partner voluntar- ily bids again. It must be re- membered that the spade re- sponse has detracted from the luation of the hand. lhresponder had bid one heart or two clubs, thereby Elililillg new values to our hand and cmii'u-m- lng previous ones. a thivc dia- mond rebid would be in order. Of course. it partner is able to and another bid over the two dis- niond rabid, we will have to make a constructive bid to balance out our previous undcrbid.

Qt. Three clubs. It is urgent to inform partner of the promising slam possibilities. By bidding dia- and ultimately spades. the responder is indirect- ly made aware of the lvc-irt mn- trol. The reliiri ill ilw to
