nothing. The truth was. they didn't dare go down that slippery slide. They wanted to. Yes. indeed, they wanted to. but they didn't dare do it.

By and by the young Otters grew tired and went off for a rut. Mother and father were nowhere about in so far as the cubs in the tree could see. There was no one to be seen. It was very peaceful and quiet, The water in the big pool was as smooth as a piece of glass. There was not an much as a tiny ripple. All the Merry Little Breezes were either asleep or somewhere else.

"Let's climb down and see what that looks like close to.' said Taddy Bear. and began to scramble down. Totty Bear followed. When they reached the ground they went over to the top of the slippery slide. From the top of the bank right down to the water's edge the bank was smooth,

At first. the cubs were careful not to get too close to the top of the slide. But little by little they moved nearer and nearer to it. Taddy Bear was a little the bolder, the more daring. and presently he was at the very edge of the bank at the top nf the slippery slide. He stood lnoking down. He was wishing. He was wishing that he dared throw himself flat on his stomach and no swishinz down the way those Otters had done.

"You dont dare!" said Totty Bear behind him.

Taddv Bear pretended not in hear. He stood up on his hind legs the better to look all around. Now mischief is the name of every small Bear. Tntty Bear crept. up behind him. very. very, quietly

EXPERTS A!!! HUMAN

Average players often credit ex- perts with an almost supernatural power to look through the backs of the opposing cards and see just what is what.

The simple truth is. of course. that experts do not possess x-ray eyes. But they do something which the average. casual bridge player rarely takes the trouble to do: they mentally review the bidding again and again. perhaps at a half-dozen stages of the play, and "place" those cards which should be in this or that hand because of a bid. a raise. or even a pass . . 4 . All of which goes to prove that west, below, was not an expert.
