The moment that south came in with his two-diamond bid. it was ,,g mu;-se plain to North that a s.am would either be ironclad or 1ii:'.t there would be a excellent play for it. The trump (diamond) ..iu.-ition was excellent. and obvious- no more than one spade trick ,-ciuld be lost. This left only the ILPZITL suit to be considered. and n lIlS.L point North saw every rea-

zi for optimism. First, there was -no chalice that Soutii might hold 4 singleton heart; second, that he might have the king; third, that if he had two or three small hearts the finesse wohld work.

There was a fourth chance, even :::ure persuasive - that if North made a confident-sounding leap to .s.x diamonds. the opening leader, West, would not dream of open- ing a heart. and so a spade trick could be established in the North hand for a heart discard before the heart ace was driven out.

Most important of all from North's point of view, however. uas the realization that the slain must be bid by direct methods or not at all, since on this particular iroak no slam device could give comfortable assurance.

That North's calculation of the many chances for the contract was sound, was proved by actual devel- npmcnt after the opening lead of the club ace by West.

Dummy ruffed and R trump was lrrl to the king. south cashed the club king. dummy discarding a heart. and then ruffed the club illl'lP with the trump ace. Now the spade king was led - and East would take it or leave it. He took :I. of coursn, but any return he could make would give South the xlem contract.

A hint is all that should be need-

e Providing it is promptly heeded. -Old Mother Nature.

Peter Rabbit had been out all night. Peter has a habit at being out all night. He says that he feels safer at night than in the day- time. Mrs. Peter says that is Just an excuse; that It he would stay in tile dear Old Eriar-patch he would be perfectly safe all the time. But Peter has too much cur- iosity. He loves to go about poking his wobbly little nose into all sorts or places. No sooner do the Black Shadows begin to creep out from the Purple Hills, than Peter begins to get iidgety. and eager to get over to the Green Forest, or the Old Pasture, or Farmer Brown's garden.

Just then there was a sound that mode Peter jump.

Peter was over in the Green Forest, where he had met his cousin, Jumper the Hare. It had been a lovely cool night ior it was now fall. It was very lovely. The red, and yellow. and brown leaves carpeted the ground. Peter didn't want to go home. No, sir, Peter didn't want to go home to the dear Old Brier-patch. Already it was daylight. and jolly. round, Mr. Sun was getting ready for his daily climb up in the blue. blue sky.

Peter sa at the very edge of the Gree Forest looking across the Green Meadows toward the Old Brier-patch. "I believe I'll stay over here today." said Peter, talk- ing-to himself. "Yes sir, that's what I'll do. Iill stay over here and watch Happy Jack Squirrel and his cousin. Chatterer the Red Squirrel, gather nuts and acorns. I like to watch other people work, and those two people certainly are workers."

Just then. there was a sound that made Peter jump. It was the hang of a gun. It was some dis- tance away. but it made Peter jump just the same. It made many folk in fur and feathers Jump. For many TM

or them it took away all of the

joy of the lovely autumn season. All of the older ones knew what it meant. It meant that this was the beginning of the hunting sea-

son. From now on tor I few weeks

the dreadful guns would be every- where during the daylight hours.

The bang of that gun changed Peter's mind. He started across the Green Meadows for the dear Old Brier-patch. and the way he ran was something to see. Had Reddy Fox been right at his heels he couldn't have i-un faster. He might not be any safer in the dear old Brier-patch. but he would reel saf- er. Over in the Green Forest, Thund- erer the Grouse and Mrs. Grouse heard that gun. They looked at each other. "It has begun," said Thundered. "We'll be lucky it we live through it."

"Yes," replied Mrs. Grouse sadly. "I am not so afraid for ourselves. because We know what to do. But the children have yet to learn what those dreadful guns mean."

Over in the Old Pasture. Raddy Fox heard that gun. He looked at Mrs. Reddy and grinned. she want- ed to know why he grinned.

"Im thinking of the easy living we will have for awhile. my dear,” replied Reddy. "There will be many killed by those dreadful guns, and not found by the hunters. But we'll find them. There will be others hurt, and these will be easily caught by us. You know that as well as I. As long as we keep out of sight or those two-legged hunt- ers. we have nothing to fear for our- selves. And they do mean good liv- ing for us."
