The young Fox did not then re- peat to mother that he would nev- er try to climb a tree again, but he said it t.n himself. and he really meant it. How good the (round felt under his feet. Right then he waa sure that he never wanted to get off the izood old around again. Even now he had I sciired feeling whenever he thought of how fiir away the ground had looked from high up in that tree. lie was sure that never again would he be tempted to climb a tree. He dug hta toes info the soft earth and scratched just to get the feeling of it. He lay down and rolled over it seemed to him that he never wanted to be where he couldn't do that. Trees were all right for birds and for Squirrels and for some other folk but not for him.

Mother Gray grinned as she watched him. Perhaps she re- memhered that she had felt just the same way when she was his age. and for the first time had Ciimhed really hiizh in a tree. "Did you learn anythiniz by climbing that tree?" she asked.

"Yes'm." said the young Fox. "I learned never to do if aitnin. I learned that I belong on the ground "

"If that is what you learned. you learned all wrong," replied mother. "if you live to grow tip. and I hope you will. you will find out that one of the surest ways of escaping certain enemies is to climb high up in a tree. The things that you really have to learn. are when to climb. what kind of a tree to climb. and how to hide in it when you are high up."

The young Fox shook his head. "I'm never goimz to climb in tree siizain." he repeated. "f can climb wp all riizht, but I can't elirnh down "

Mother Gray rhiirltlod "You did cllmh down. didn't you?" said Idle.

There he was down on the dear safe ground, and he hadn't fallen down. "What one has done once one can do strain So you learned lomethimz that you don't thlnl! you have learned You have really learned how to climb down and when vnti iv-v it nizain it will he A lot easier. Mt;-r two or tim-o timn:

CONTRACT BRIDGE

THE RIGHT WAYIOEWUIIINOII

SO MUCH is heard these by: about the strength-showing qual- ity ol "reverse bidding" that the "amateur" player is bound to be misled.

I-f South (let us say) starts off with one heart. and then bids spades, the higher-ranking suit. at his next turn. he is "revers- ing." and he thereby announces a very good hand. But it does not. follow that this tslalways the right way to show strength-in

fact. under certain circumstances

it 'may be very wrong indeed. Consider this case:

Went. opened his top trump. and SOIQ book only eight. trlekl.

The one-trick set. was not earl- oua. but the fact that North- South mined-an easy gune at cluba son. The very fact that the opponents had done some vigorous heart. bidding on their own account. should have been turned by North-South to their own advantage. without that ad- verse bidding, it. would have been virtually imposa bit: to get into a. club contract, but under actual circumstances all South had to do was to make the proper bid over
