'I‘.he eventual winner of the iKJlIXTIEmQIli. George Rgpeg, o‘ New York. did not have his match-point standing flattened by this dean Hilwevel’. as will be observed, it was not his fault that the bidding went askew.

that his partner had a strong hand when West bid two spades over one heart. but when West follow- ed this up by bidding three no- trump, East naturally could not visualize anytlrng like the 6-5-1-1 distribution oi iLe West Hand. Ap- parently. West nad five diamonds and four spades. Since East did not fébl ton confident about a spade contract based .on only (ap- parently) seven trumps, and since in these match-point games there is usually an advantage to be goin- ed from playing a hand at no- trump, East retired from the auc- tion. West made only four-odd. losing a diamond and two hearts.

A far more. desirable contract was reached by Wests who paid the proper homage to their distri- button.

Hootyks big blood wings moved without haste and without sound

if by magic. He seemed to sud- denly melt into the darkness back oi him. He had ‘been sitting at the edge of the moonlight. Peter Rab- bit dived headiong into the same darkness and crept beneath some brush there. Jumper the Hare crouched close to the snow on which he was sitting. his long ears laid back along his shoulders. He did it in o. flush and then kept p fectly still.. He didn't so much as twitch s. whisker. He also seemed to have disappeared as if by magic. He hadn't really. He was right there where he Had been all the time. but had you happened along just then you probably would have walked right past without seeing him. for in his vlite coat, crouched so close to the snow. he looked to be u little heap of it.

"Hoo-hou, i100, hoo-hool"

Whitefoot the Wood Mouse was sure his fast-beating llttlrheart skipped a beat.‘ Peter Rabbit's heart seemed to him to stop for just a. moment‘. As for Jumper. his heart came right up in his throat. Anyway it felt so to him as a mo- ment later out into the moonlight flew l-Iooty the Great Horned Owl. called "great" because he ls the largest oi the Owl cousins. although in size ‘Jtere is little difference be- tween him and Whitey the Snowy Owl. who sometimes comes down from the Far North to spend the winter. Hooty’s big. broad wings moved without haste and without sound. His round, fierce, hungry yellow eyes searched the moonlit opening and buck into Jze shadowy darkness.

“He's looking for me," thought Jumper. and shiverecl inside his white coat

“He's looking for me," thought Peter. and shook. but not so that. the Making could be seen.

“He's locking for rue." thought

little Whltefoot, and both shivered and shook, and held his breath. ‘ It was true. All three were right. Hooiy was looking for any one he migl : catch. for It was his dinner time and he was hungry. But none of the three moved. so none was seen. and f-looty flew up in the top of a_te.ll Lreo from which to watch. He hooted again. “Hoo- hoo, Iroo, hon-hoot Whoo. hoo- hool" Then he leaned a little for- ward. the feathsred flaps over the bl openings of his wonderful ears 1 d a little that he might not miss the faintest sound made by some one startled into moving. But Jumper didn't move. Peter didn't move and Whitofoot didn't move. Tltere as no one else around there to move. so after a while Hootl/ flew away to hunt elsewhere.

Sure that he no longer was near. Jumper sat up. Peter joined him in the moonlight. and little White- ioot cautiously peeped out from the darkness.

"I guess he has zone awar for tonight. I don't like lust fellow." said Peter.

"Who does?" squeaked the little Mouse.

"So now we can look again for that singer," persisted Peter.

"Maybe Hooiy caught him. We haven't heard him singing since that Owl came around," said Jumper.
