REDDY PLAYS A SHARP TRICK

Getting even may be iun

But ‘tls better leit undone

—Old Mother Nature

Roddy Fox didn't like his cousins, Gray Fox and Mrs. Fox. Mrs. Red- dy didn't like them any better. They didn't want to share the hunting with their cousins, didat want them on the Green Meadows or in the Old Pasture. That sounds selfish and I suppose that in a way it was. Yet in another way it wasn't. You see among the Uireen Forest and Green Meadow folk, especially those who in cold \\‘t‘i!.i.I\- er often have grounds, his or hers by right of discovery snd'possess- ion. Usually there is no more food than is needed (or one. So others are not welcomed there

Those grey ‘cousins hadn't been around very long Where they had come from Raddy didn't know and didn't care. He Just didxrt wan‘.. them around, and he said so. Mrs. Rieddy ieit the same way about it. She declared they ought to be driven out 01 the neighborhood, which 01 course wasn't at all right.

"Pehaps we can get someone to do it ior us." said Roddy.

Mrs. Reddy looked at him sharp- ly. "Who is there around here -who would or could do that?" she want- ed to know.

Contract Bridge

3 By Josephine. Culbertson

.i THE TWO-WAY COUNT

Particularly at notrump coli- tracts, the declarer must make I two-way, it: the tricks he can win imn sly or establish; and the trick. ...e opponents will win in the meanwhile. Let's apply this generality to rspeciiic case:

let's overlook that point to con- centrate on the play.

west, who did not place much hope in his own weak diamond suit, led his top spade. The king was played from dummy; East won with the ace and returned a spade, declsrcr winning with the queen.

At this stage, the average de- clarer would probably set out to establish the club suit, hoping ior lour club tricks. two spades and one diamond. Observe, however. that although this would be a satin- inctory total in itsell.- it would be reached a little late. because mean-

while. the deienders would first .

establish {or themselves the one club trick given to them, two spades, three top hearts .and one top diamond, defeating the con- tract.

‘mo actual declaror was sound at arithmetic. and did not volun- tarily surrender a. club trick! He went out for a heart trick, by lead- ing immediately toward dummy's strength. East won and returned a spade, but by “plugging away" at hearts, South reached the point where the delenders either had to give him tree ilnesse against the diamond jack, or three club tricks without winning any club trick 1or themselves.

dearly loves to chase us, and’ we sometimes have so much trouble in ioollng?" replied Raddy. "H: has had you in trouble more than once,” he added slyly.

Mrs. Roddy loolred puzzled. sud- denly she grinned. "Bowser the Hou.ndl" she exclaimed. “Oi course. That might do it if we oould get him to chase one oi them. were you thinking oi going over there where he lives and asking him?"

It was R.eddy‘s turn to grin. “Yes and no." said he. “I'm thinking or going over there when I see him out, but not of asking him any- thing. It won't be necessary. He'll do what I want done without ask- lng."

Mrs. l-teddy knew what Roddy

y help just let me know," said she.

"I won't need any help, my dear. Just leave it to me. Those gray cousins oi ours are net. as good runners as we are, and they are not as smart at breaking trails. Bowser isn't easily tooled, as you ‘know. They won't like having him chasing them. Perhaps then they will leave this neighborhood," said Redd)’.

Early one morning a law days later Reddy had been around Farmer Brown’: barn when Bowser was let out. Raddy had been around near the backdoor so al- most at once Bowser found his scent and with his nose to the ground came racing around back of the barn. This was what Reddy had been waiting for. Away he went, those nimble black feet of his taking him over the ground much faster than Bowser could run. Bowser didn't mind. He just put his nose to the ground where the scent lay iresh and strong and haying joyously he settled down to iollowing that trail, knowing lull well that he could run as long as that Fox could, and he hoped longer.

Recldy didn't try any tricks in break his trail. He headed straight for the swamp where he knew those gray cousins or his were living. Just as he had hoped he sumriled Gray Fox. 01 course the latter took to his heels. There was nothing else he could do just then. Rcddy kept right after him so that the two trails were really one. A little way behind Roddy ran Bowser, the

iollow. Then when he was out oi’ sight oi Buwser Ecddy leaped lar to one side and dodged behind I pile of brush. Bowser kept right on iollowing the iresh scent Gray Fox was still leaving as he ran. Roddy grinned as he listened to the chase. then trotted home to the Old Pas- ture. There he and Mrs. Roddy listened to the distant voice of Bowser the Hound as he ran Cousin Gray,'givirig him no chance to rest.

"It was easy." said Reddy. “We'll play that trick every chance we get. Alter a while those cousins oi ours may think they better move to some other neighborhood."
