Every West opened the dia- mond jack and at seven ot the eight tables the play ran true to form. Dummy played low on the npaiiing lead: East put up the dia- mond lring and returned the suit, knocking out the ace. Then, wheth- or South entered his own hand with a heart and stri:-tedclubs or elected to lead clubs from the board, the result was ni least mic tricks for the North-South .pairs, and in some cases South made an extra-trick because East led an- nther diamond. giving South nis queen.

The one defeated declarer 'l8d good reason to bewail his late. be- cause only he ran into the killing defence. At this table East did not put up the diamond king at first trick; he ducked. and after that play South would have had Io be clairvoyant to make the con- tract! Certainly. he could not know how the diamonds lay and there- fore could not retuse to take the trick with the queen; but when he made the normal play. winning with the queen and taking the club finesse. he was soon helpless. East. on taking his first club trick, returned the diamond king

dumuiy's blank ace. and when ii later got on lesd'in clubs. his diamond continuation gave West three tricks.

This was excellent. even brilli- ant delence on East's part. but at the same time it was nothing but logical. With two club stoppers. East could see that it would be a very good idea to make the enemy win the first and second d-i d leads-not the second and third

Peter Rabbit and Mrs. Peter sat iuste outside the dear Old Brier- patch. As usual Peter had been away all night. He had retumad only is few minutes batore He started to tell Mrs. Peter about his adventures. she didn't listen she turned her back. she doesn't approve of Peter leaving the dear pld Brier-patch to go adventur- zrg. She has told him over and over again that no good will ever come of it.

"One or these days you won't come back." she has declared more than once. "One of these dlya you will be caught by Roddy FOX. or Hooty the Owl. or some other hungry hunter. Then you'll lie sorry you didn't listen to me and stay in the dear Old Brier- patch where you belong."

Peter has heard that sort or thing so oiten that it just goes in one ear and out the other. You know how it is when you are told the some thing over and .over again. It, gets so that you hear it without hearing it. ' '

Once in a while Peter gets a little cross. "You're afraid of your own shadow," he has snapped more thsn' once. "I wouldn't be as timid as you are for anything in the world. No. sir. I wouldn't."

"I-Iuhl" said little Mrs. Peter. "If you ask me it is better to be timid and safe than to be foolish and end up as a dinner for somebody."

Now of course Mrs. Peter was quite right about that. Being tim- id can be. and often is, what you might call a life preserver- Timid folk often live much longer than those who are over bold. t

didn't take her eyes from the lit- tle dog running about this way and that. she looked more wor-i ried than ever. "I do believe he is coming this way." said she at lost.

"He can come for all I care," said Peter. "All we have to do is go back to the dear Old Brin- patch. You know as well as I do

that in there we will be perfectly ea c." '

Little Mrs. Peter paid no atten- tion to him. She no longer sat up but was beginning to hop out farther on the Green Meadows. Once she made a funny little hop

up in the air. This was to see better over the grass. ”l-iii" cried Peter. "Where are

you going?"

Little Mrs. Peter made no re- ply. She kept on going and she was going straight toward Flip the Terrier just as it she were going to meet him.

"1-Iii" cried Peter again. ."Are you crazy?" He sounded anxious.

He was anxious. What could he the matter with Mrs. Peter. if she went much farther she would have to run for her life for Flip

would be sure to see her. She kept right on. Peter became more and more. anxious. What

could timid little Mrs. Peter be thinking of? If she wont mucii farther she would have a hard time to get back to the dear Old Brier-patch, for that pesky dog could catch her.

What Peter didn't know was that little Mrs. Peter was doing something that required the very greatest courage possible (or one a: timid as she.

Little Mrs. Peter y sat up very straight and stared across the Green Meadow. Into her soft eyes came a worried look. She paid no attention to Peter At. first Peter didn't see the worried look. He looked across the Green Meadows in the direction she was looking. Way over towards Farm- er Brown's house a lively. rather small person in black and white had just come out on the Green Meadows and was running about this way and that. It was Flip the Terrier. You know he lives at Farmer Brown's. he and Bow- ser the Hound. , Usually they are together but this time Bowscr wasn't with Flip.

"I hope." said little Mrs. Peter "he doesn't come over here."

"What is he does?" said Peter.
