"It! I regular circus!" declared Mother Brown. From I kitchen window she and Tommy were watching Striped Chipmunk doing a tightrope act. Between two tail stakes, some distancg apart, a piece or iishline was stretched tight several feet above the ground. Striped chipmunk had climbed one of these stakes. and now was walk-

"I still think you played Striped Chipmunk a mean trlck." said Mother Brown. '”He has no more chance of getting that peanut than I have of flying."

”Perhaps you're right," declared Farmer Brown's Boy. ”I'll tell you what, if he gives up I'll see to it that he has plenty oi peanuts to take home. I have a feeling that he is going to surprise us. Some of these turned and feathered folks

they act only by instinct, and don't really know why they do certain things. I don't believe that. They

Mother Brown looked. "My land! , HOW can he do'that!" she ex-

strlped Chipmunk was sitting crosswise on that string. He was balancing himself in a way thati didn't seem possible. He had hold I

Just his hind feet. With his fore- paws he was reaching down and taking hold of the string from which the peanut hung. He was using hui forepaws like hands. Mother Brown and Tommy could hardly believe their own eyes. Keep- ing his balance, somehow Striped Chipmunk began to pull up that peanut, paw over paw; Just as you or I would pull up something hand over hand, In a jiffy. he had that peanut. He cut the string to which it was tied, and then with thepeanutin his teetli.hemade his way back to the stake, climbed down this, and scampcred off home with that nut. ' Mother Brown drew a long breath "I don't know," said she, ”whicn I think was most wonderful, the way he kept his balance and pui- led that peanut up or the fact that he thought out the way of getting that nut. What are you going to do now. Tommy?"

"I'm going to hang some more peanuts for hlm," replied Tommy. "It's a shame to make the poor little fellow do that trick all over again for every nut," declared Mo- ther Brown indignantly.

"I'm going to make some plioto- graphs of him doing it," replied Tommy. "If I should just tell folks what he did they wouldn't. believe me. They wouldn't believe that n Chipmunk could be smart enough to think out a way to getgihosv: peanuts, and they wouldn't believe that he could do it if he did think

pictures, Striped Chipmunk shall have a whole handful of peanuts without having to work to get them."

By the time Farmer Brown's Boy -had four or five peanuts suspend- ed from that string. striped Chip- munk was back. He did the trick over again. He did it twice. Then he proved even smarter than Far- mer Brown's Boy had thought he was. He cut the string from which a peanut was suspended without going to the trouble of pulling up the peanut. 0. course, the string and the peanut foil to the ground. He cut down thc rest of them the same way.

Did Striped Chipmunk think? What do you think? He really did think at everything.

West made his natural opening. the diamond Jack, and declarer won with the ace. Trumps were drawn in two rounds, and deciarer then cashed his other diamond tricks, ending in dummy. He then led the club jack and, when East played low, went into a lomz but fruitless huddle over whether to let the jack ride or to put up the king. With nothing to go by, he finally guessed in favor of the king play, and that was his fiiiish. West took the trick with the RC5 and shifted to the seven of hearts. East captured diimmy's queen and returned a heart, and declarer ended up losing

ltwo heart tricks and two clubs.

In such a case as this it is It very good idea to try to locate one of the missing aces, and, having done so. to play the other opponent for the other ace, on the theory that when the opponents have not bid. the best assumption is that each holds one ace rather than that both aces lie in one hand. liianifestly, sputh should have tried to locate the heart ace first, because the heart position did not involve any guess - if the ace was right, good. and if it was wrong there was nothing rl'eclarci' could do about it. Once declarer found that the heart see was held by East. it would have been only logical to play West for the ace of clubs, and to let the club Jack ride for a finesse against the queen.
