said Blncky to himself. "I've just got to know.” with a pair of the best eyes in the Green Forest he had looked and looked and looked again. but had seen nothing wrong with or near that meat. However. all the time he had had a little douibt. and now he was doing the wise thing, leaving temptation behind him. He was going over to an open place in the ice of the Big River to see if by chance a dead fish or other food had been wash- ed up there. It was a place of last resort. When 'he cannot find anything elsewhere, Blacky visits the Big River.

Thzs time he had good luck. A small fish, dead. was float- ing close to the edge of the ice. At first it wasn't quite near enough for him to reach. It float- ed along just out of reach, and Biacky walked along on the edge of the ice, hoping and hoping the small fish would drift in close enough for him to reach it. Twice he flew over it, and tried to pick it out of the water. Both times he

North-South were not using the Stayman convention. and no North's two-club response to the notrump bid was a simple mit- showing action. South might have robid two diamonds instead of two notrumip. since he was not particularly strong. but even though he chose the more encour- aging rc-bid. North was unduly op- timistic in going on to three not- rump. A sign-off of three club! was all that North's holding war- ranted.

However, with help from East, North's optimism was rewarded.

West opened the spade jack. south won with the queen and led a low club, tempting the opponents to take their club trick immed- ately. West's blank jack was over- taken with the queen in dummy- and East fell! All East could see was that if he played low, dec- larer would lead the club ten through him, and in that wly smo- ther East's king. East hoped that by taking the trick and returning a spade, he would find his part- ncr with enough tricks to defeat the contract.

This hope. however, was not rea- lized. On East's spade return. South ducked. West. as it happened. "could have been a hero" by shift- ing to diamonds, but he actually continued spades. New South was safe. lie was lucky to find the heart ace in East's hand instead of West's, but perhaps he deserved this luck because the enemy. no- tably East, had failed to defend COYI"C('ll)1

All East had to do. of course. was hold up the club king and in that way shut dut three club tricks in dummy by blocking the
