in nothing but daam.

"oh. the darlings!" cried Mother Brown "I wish I could hold one of them right in my hands."

Tommy's eyes twinkled. "Why don't wu get out and pick one up?" said he. .

"With their mother threatening to attack? No, thank you," re- plied Mother Brown.

"I don't blame you, said Tommy. 'but I doubt if you got out you could find one of those babies. one can hide under a single leaf. and they look so much the color of the leaves on the ground that you could look right nt. one with- cut seeing it. Do you know how imony of those babies there were?"

"I saw only tno," said Mother Brown.

"That W15 because most of them

were on my side of the road where lthey were scrambling out. I count- ied ten of them." said Tommy. 1 Meanwhile Mother Grouse no longer had her feathers raised. She had folded her fan-like tell. she .had lowered her crest so that you Wvoiild not know she had one, She had turned down her rich black iruff. Her wings were tight against ilier body now. She looked nbout ihnlr the size she had appeared to be. she was sleek and trim. Now ishe left the road on the opposite side frnm where the babies were Mother Brown h1rl' opened the door. and now Mother Grouse came tip alon,.: the bank within ithree feet. She disappeared imder the brush.

"Drive nn n l'itle further Tam- my." said Mother Brown. "well see if she goes to join her babies."

So Tommv drove on a little way and stopned. Lnokimz hock they watched for a few minutes. Pre-

sently they saw Mother Grouse,

poke her head out at the edge of the road, Then she ran across the road into the bnisiri nn the other side. and hooped up on an. old log. There she began to cluck i It was very different from the, clucking when the babies were senti into the brush. Now she was ca!- ling them instead of telling them in go. They couldn't see the babies coming to her, but they could set- the tops of weeds and rgrwss mov- ing in all directions. Presently. those chicks were little clocks oil relief and contentment and hztppl-.

"That. was its brave a deed as; I ever saw." said Mother Brnwn.I

”I wonder if she would have;

I would have done to ycu," said It Mother Brown.

OUNTING-0U'l'" THE UNSEIN HANDS

Mast experienced players are aware that a deelarer's constant effort should be to "count out" the opposing minds as their original suit distribution; that this is a vital vcp in sound planning and executin. But put these same players on defense. and they seem to ignore the counting-out proceu, i.e. they give little or no thought to the suit-lengths which may be marked in the unseen hands. Observe West's inexpert perform- ance in this deal:

:and hearts on his left. West elected ito open a low spade. Diimmy's king was put up, South dropping the queen on the trick, and a dia- imond was led. West took South's King and continued the spade suit. the jack winning.

Decl.-irer now led a club from the board. East put up his king: South won the trick and cashed his high diamonds. then led his diamond three to dummy's eight. On another club lead South cover- ed E.ist's nine with the jack. and ilvest was in once more. with the club qtieeny

Wes:'s liammeiung away at spades at this juncture was not ccsti), but when South won and led a low club. taken by West with

the seven-spot, the time had ar- rived when a lead of hearts was indispensable. Evidently, however, Wcst criiiged from that lead; to delay his ”do:im" as long as pos- sible. even by one trick. he cashed the h.i:h club and then had to lead a hfart. New deciarer had ninr tricks.

Quite aside from the fact that West could see he would have to lead away from his hearts sooner or later. a simple count of the distribution Smith had shown would have made that heart lead completely safe and highly desir- nbie. South had shown three spades, four d;amonds, five clubs twhen East failed on the third rcuiidt. and so could have only one Tieart.
