"whose footprint did you say that is?" asked Farmer Brown's boy as he stooped over to look closely at a footprint in the mud of a small drainage ditch among cocoanut palms of the plantation where He was staying on R.ob'iii- son Crusoe's island way down in the Tropics.as the Land-of-slwayo summer is called. "I said it is the footprint of ii Manlcoe. It may be Mr. Manicoci: or it may be Mrs. Msnicoe's; I can't tell as to that." replied the friend who h (1 pointed the foot- print out to im. "What in the world is s Manl- coe? That is a new name to me. If that isn't a Possum's footprint. then I've never seen one. and Unc' Billy Possum and I are old acquaintances," l replied Farmer Brown's boy. "I guess Cousin Manicoe was catching Crabs." said his friend. "Do you see all those little holes in the bank? They were dug by Grabs. There goes one now." Sure enough, ii small Crab scut- tled aiong sideways but last and disappeared in one of the holes. The two boys kept still for a few minutes. Presently 'ii little Grab, a

Easthad reason to feel that with the red suits so well controlled. and with West bidding clubs at the five-level. even as an obvious sacrifice. the enemy would find it difficult to make an ll-trick con- tract. Unfortunately, however. West mis-read the double as calling for a lead of East's suit. and so laid down the ten-spot. i

This was an unfortunate selec- tion for the defenders! East cap- tured dummyis heart queen and returned his singleton club. Dimi- my's ace won. and deciarer. plan- ning his line of play on the good suspicion that East had the high diamonds and no more clubs, ran off every one of his seven trumps. keeping only the K-9 of hearts and the A-J of diamonds in dummy, while he himself still had the two diamonds and two clubs.

East was now in troublel He had to hold the J-B of hearts against dummy-'s K-9. and thus had to reduce in the K-Q of diamonds. blank. with the stage thus set. dnd with the alt- uation not at all hard to read, de- clarer led a diamond to the ace and returned the diamond Jack. throwing East in. on Eastis forccd heart return, dummy collected the two tricks which completed the doubled contract.

very little one, cautiously came out of a hole. Then another ap- peared. and another. and more until a lot or them were sidiing this way and that along the edge of the water. At the first move- ment of one of the watchers every Crab scuttled for his or her own home.

"Cousin Manicoe. whoever he is. would have to work fast to catch ii dinner of those." said Farmer Brown's boy with a chuckle. Those scuttllrig iittlc Crabs had been funny to see.

"He may seem slow at most times. but he can be quick enough at other times. especially when there is something good to eat," replied his friend.

"I suppose you mean he is a good grabber when he turns crab- ber." said Farmer Brown's boy, and grinned at his own joke.

provingly. "That is rather awful as a joke but it happens to be true." said he. "A good crabber has to be is good grabber and Cousin Manlcoe is just that. 1 have an idea he is not far from here right now. He probably is living in the neighborhood. I tell

-you what. Tommy. we'll go home

and get. a couple of traps and set them over here. Then if we have luck you may have a chance to sea Cousin Maniooe.” -

They did not have far to go and soon were back with the traps. They were set carefully and skill- fully so as not to awaken suspic- ion.

”I hope we will have him in the morning." said Tommy. "I'm an- xious to see what he is like." "Don't. be impatient: replied the other. "He may not be Crsb hun- gry for several days. and he look- ing for other food. He eats almost anything that can be eaten-meat. fish. insects. fruit. eggs. He isn't the least bit fussy about his food, not even about its freshness."

"That sounds for all the world like Unc' Billy Possum." replied Tommy. ”l-le eats anything and everything. and he doesnt seem to care whether it is fresh or old. sweet or smelly."

The next day the traps were empty and undisturbed. ” The next day the bait had been taken from one of the traps without springing it. Tommy wondered how it had been done.

"Ants." replied the other.

' "I hadn't thought of them. Of course they could and wcuid do it easily if they wanted the bait." agreed Tommy.

on the third morning one of the traps held a prisoner fast by one leg. "Possum!" cried Tammy. "Manicoe!" cried his friend. Both were right. The family looks were unmistakable. Cousin Msnicoe is a member of the Pos- sum family.
