bramble-tangle in the middle of which Ragged-Ear had made his home. Yes. sir Reddy's tongue was very smooth as he welcomed the young Rabbit to the Old Pasture, and invited him to take a walk. Perhaps Ragged-Ear would have accepted the invitation had not Roddy grinned so often. Every time he grinned. the young Rabbit saw Reddy's long sharp teeth, and they gave him an uneasy feeling. When Raddy left, he said he would return the next morning and perhaps Ragged-Ear would go for a walk with him then to see all the

ure. Ragged-Ear hadn't said he would or hie wouldn't. He was great- ly tempted, and Raddy seemed so neighborly and pleasant that it was difficult to believe he could be anything else.

Hardly was Reddy out of sight when Sammy Jay appeared. It was Sammy who had first called the young Rabbit Ragged-Ear. "I see you had a. caller," said Sammy.

" Yes," replied the young Rabbit. "He is a neighbor of mine, so he says."

Sammy Joy chuckled. "Yes," said he, "Reddy is a neighbor, and he

'- would like to be a lot nearer neigh-

bor than he is. I hope you didn't tell him that you would go to walk with him.” -

"No," replied Ragged-Ear. "he is coming around tomorrow morn- ing. Perhaps I will go with him then. He seems very pleasant. and he offered to show me all the places in the Old Pasture. I really ought to know all the places if I am going to live here. and I think I am."

Sammy Jay chuckled and chuckled. "Ynulll stay here. but you won't. live here if you go to walk with him." he chuckled.

Ragged-Ear looked puzzled. "What do you mean by that?" he asked. V

"I guea you don't know Roddy Fox." said Sammy Jay. "If you did, you wouldn't ask me that question. Raddy would like to take you around the Old .Pastine, He spoke truly when he told you that. Do you know how he would like to take you?"

The young Rabbit looked a little uncertain. "Why, I suppose he just wants to show me the way," said he.

Once more Sammy Jay chuckled. "He doesnt want to show you the

South's opening bid, at any rate. was correct, although his play of the three-notrump contract left much to be desired.

west opened his fourth-highest. heart, and South captured East's king. Then, starting off properly, South led the club jack, hoping, that the king would be played, leaving the club suit cleared. If either opponent had the club king v with only one guard, South would be sitting pretty. As a precaution- ary measure. when West played the club eight, South overtook his jack with dummy's queen.

East' saw quite clearly that failure to win this trick would probably result in the loss of his king, but he nevertheless held up that card because he also saw that it was his only chance to shut out the bulk of dummy's clubs.
