ONE GRIN TOO MANY

A grin you think is to see, May not be what it seems to be. -Old Mother Nature.

Ragged-Ear, the young Rabbit who had come to the Old Pasture and found there a place much to his liking, was trying to make up his mind. There are times when making up nne's mind is the most difficult thing one can do. Ragged- Ear had had P visitor. a handsome and very pleasant visitor. He had the smoothest tongue that Ragged- Ear ever had listened to. He wore a red coat. a white waistcoat, and black stockings. His face was sharp. but he tried very hard to have a pleasant look. It was Raddy Fox. Raddy eat just outside a. tangle of vines and brlara and brambles under which the young Rabbit had his form. This is the place where he rests and sleeps. It really was his new home. l-tagged-Ear could get into it easily by little paths

Ragged-Ear all the nice places in the Old Pasture. and Ragged-Ear had almost made Ulp his mind to go with him. But something made him just a little messy. and he had excused himself Just then, saying that he was tired. That was true, for he had been wandering around quite a bit. Of course, he wouldn't. have said it it it hadn't been true. So, Reddy had grinned, despite his disappointment, and proposed that they go the next morning.

After Roddy had left along came Sammy Jay. Sammy warned Ragged-Ear not to trust Reddy Fox. so the young Rabbit was in what is called "a state of mind." He didn't know whether to believe this pleasant-spoken neighbor in the red coat, or his feathered visitor in the handsome blue and white coat. He was still trying to make up his mind when he fell asleep. He dreamed. Yes. sir, he dreamed. You never would guess what he saw in his dreams. It was a mouthful of sharp, big teeth -

that he had cut: through the brambles. They were just big enough for him to use comfortably. but Reddv couldn't possibly follnix him in there without getting lxs lovely red coat tom and his rte scratched.

so he eat just outside, pretend-

the teeth that Roddy Fox always shows when he grins.

Ragged-Ear awoke at daybreak. He remembered the teeth he had dreamed about. He was just getting ready to slip over to a. certain patch of sweet clover when he caught a glimpse of something red

wanted to do the newcomer a good,

turn. That is one or the things that good neighbors always do for

moving along one of the winding old cowpaths among the bushes of the old Pasture. Ragged-Ear wisely decided he would wait for that sweet clover. He knew that that

Even aside from the trump suit, East's holding was not particularly impressive, but East felt with reason that the opponcnts' bidding had not been imprcmive. either. North had not iiiliipcd to three spades on the second round: nor had South jumped to four spades over his partner's single raise. Fhul, it was extremely probable that the opponents themselves were "probing." with neither able to go ahead uncle. full steam, and :0 it was almost a foregone con- tluiaion that West would turn up . with spade strength as well as length.

Observe that ifiiatever can be said for or against ilastis double, it was out of the question for West in take this action although it was he who had the trumps.

"No." aald Reddy, "It is only a very little way. 1 mow you will love that clover." Then he grinned. He grinned a litttle more broadly than before. It showed all his teeth, and Ragged-Ear suddenly loet his appetite. That grin was one too many.

DIVING FOR DINNER.

Certain birds. not alike in any other respect, have this in ('Dm- , man s. they procure their food by diving. Naturally. then quite dif-

ferent. methods are used. Moat. but. not all of them. catch the prey in their bills. some dive from water level. some from great heights; there are those that barely break the surface, other: pierce the water to almost unbe- lievable depths.

The great majority are found

under the heading "water birds." but the Kingfisher is classed as a mad bird. It nests in a bank, and perches on a. branch overhanging water. which it enters only when ratchlng dinner. on sighting a Ilsih it plunges. head first, and maps the prey in its capaclous bill.

While swimming gently along, every now and then the American Mergimser bobs its head under water. If an unsuspecting fish tomes near the top, under goes the Merganser; then. in an in- mint, up pops the bird with slippery prey hold fast. in a that is booked and serrated this very purpose.
