Thunderer the Grouse was troubled. Mrs. Grouse was troubled. Theitruth is. they were worried. Blacky the Crow had given them some news. and it was bad news. Blacky had told them that he had heard that Terror the Goehawk had come down to the Green Forest from the Far North. If this, was true -it meant that he probably would spend the rest Q! the winter there. They were especially worried because they knew that Terror-'s favorite dinner is of Grouse. Rufied Grouse often are wrongly called Partridge, and the Goshawk is often called the Partridge Hawk.

of course. Grouse are not the only ones that Terror hunts. If he had to depend on Grouse alone for his dinners. he would starve to death. He always keeps a sharp eye open for Peter Rabbit. Happy Jack

rel, and any of the smaller folk in fur land feathers. He has been named Tenor because when he is around all the smaller folk in his neighborhood are in terror. Among all the feathered hunters none is more fierce, and none is more dreaded.

"Blacky didn't say that he had seen Terror; only that he had heard that Terror was in the Green Forest. Perhaps he isn't hereiat all. You know how foolish it is to believe everything we hear.” said Thunderer.

"It is just as foolish to take chances until we find out if a thing is. or isn't so." replied Mrs, Grouse.

"Are you hinting that we are taking chances?” asked Tunderer.

"You know we are!" retorted Mrs. Grouse.

"What chances?" asked Thunderer, pretending that he didn't know.

"We take a chance every time we go over to the Old Orchard." retorted Mrs. Grouse. "You know very well we are safest in the

should find us over in the Old Orchard. I fearaone of us wouldn't get back to the Green Forest."

"He would have to fly some to catch me." boasted Thunderer.

"Don't be foolish." said Mrs. Grouse. "That fellow can really fly. I don't want himlbehlnd me, I can tell you that!" t

"I suppose." said Thunderer, "you are suggesting that we give up thme good breakfasts over in the Old Orchard, and all because Blacky the Crow heard something that he doesn't know is true. Even if Terror is in the Green For-est he may not be anywhere near this

part of it. Blacky may have made up that story just to keep us away from the Old Orchard so that he can have all that good food to himself."

"That is quite true." admitted Mrs. Grouse, "But I would rather let Blacky have my breakfast than let that big Hawk have my life. It is a wise Bird w-ho heeds a warn- ing. Ilm notgoing over to the Old Orchard again until I am sure that that killer isn't around."

"It is time enough to worry about him when he has been seen some- where ln the neighborhood," retort- ed Thunderer, "Tm not going back to eating buds over here while there is all that good food over there to be had for the picking up."

The next morning, Thunderer went over to the Old Orchard to get his breakfast, but Mrs. Grouse refused to go. Thunderer pretended not to be at all worried. but some- how he dldn't have as good an appetite as usual. -Mrs. Grouse. watching from halfway up in a pine tree at the edge of. the Green Forest, saw Thunderer start back. He flew swiftly, as all Grouse fly. He was about halfway back to the Green Forest when seemingly from nowhere a big broad-winged Bird came up over the trees from back of the Old Orchard. It was Terror the Goshawk. She knew him in- stantiv by the way in which he flew. Did Tbunderer see him. Even if he did. would he be able to reach the Green Forest in time? she knew a moment later that

Thunderer did know that Terror was behind li'lm. He had been fly- ing fast. but now he flew faster still. But last as he was that dread-

The lead-directing' double of a slam contract (known as the Light- ner double. after its inventor. T. A. Lightner, New York) is an excellent device, but its efficiency can often be destroyed by a shrewd opponent.

South in this deal, however, was not shrewdi

course. in contracting for the grand slam on the strength of the in- formation he drew from partner. but when East doubled seven clubs. South should have mapped to at- tention and done some thinking. instead of passing so nonchalantly.

It was completely obvious that East had no high-card trick against seven clubs, and so his double had to have a special meaning. That could only be that he hoped to ruff the opening lead and was calling upon his partner to make an "un- natural opening" against the seven- club contract. This is standard contract: This is a standard con- cmployed by good play- ers to protect themselves, whenever possible, against grand slams or even small slams.

Certainly, in this case, it was simplicity itself for South to pro- tect himself. Why let East ruff a trick -- 13 ,.tricks would certainly be available at notrump. if they would be at clubs. so South should have run with the greatest celerity to seven notrump.

W-hen South woodenly missed this opportunity ,West took full advantage of the lapse and opened a. heart, and the "swing", against North-South when East ruffed was 2620 points!

hind him was faster still. He was gaining with every stroke of his great wings.

Thunderer was flying for his life. Terror the Goshawk was flying for his breakfast. Which would win.
