Under a fallen treetop only a little way from where Buster was standing swinging his head from side to side as if trying to decide which way to go, were two little fawns, her babies. What‘ i1 he should go over there and poke about under that treetop! Do you wonder that she could hardly breathe? Buster grumbled to himself. He likes to grumble. He seemed not to know what to do with himself. l-la is like that. He starts to do something, then changes his mind and starts to do something else only to change his mind again. He started off as it he had made up his mind to go somewhere in particular, stopped abruptly sat up beside a tree and rubbed his back against it. He scratched himself lazily with the claws of one tore-

which Mrs. Lightfoot was, grew a lone tree. Buster shuffled over to it. He stood up beside it. He reached u-p as high as he could and dug his cla/ws into it. No. he wasn't getting ready to climb. He was making his mark on that tree so that any other Bears hap- pening that way might know that he hsd been there and how big he was. There were other Bear marks, old ones, on that tree. but none as high up as his.

Lightfoot almost stopped breath- ing? Should she make some noise that. would bring htn ever to her there to find out who was there? If she did he might guess her precious secret. It was better that he shouldn't know she was anywhere about. Now he was close to that fallen tree-top. What if one of the babies should move? The suspense was dreadful.

On the 8i part-score, loutilra jump to (our écc-nd round was probably as logical as any action he could take.

West opened the heart seven. East put up the ace, and even after the fall o! South's heart king, he could find no better continuation than the heart queen. Declares‘ ruffed, led the spade deuce to the king, and then retllmed a diamond putting up the king from his own hand. West took this trick with the ace and led another heart. De- clsrer ruffed, and now had the choice or going to dummy to fln-‘ ssse for either the club king or the diamond jack, He logically da- clded that the jack might drop, and that in any case East was fairly well marked with the club king for his bid, so he laid down the diamond queen, then went to dummy with the spade and led the club ten through East. The latter ducked, but a second club lead to the jack settled the entire matter. Declarer lost, in all. we trumps and one heart, thus making his game.

West was in too great a hurry with his diamond ace. If he had unhesitatlngly played low on South's king, deciarer almost surely would have placed the ace with East and, Just as surely, woulc have used dummys one remaining entry in spades {or a second trump lead toward the closed hand. ‘than West would spring his trap, col- lecting both the ace and jack of diamonds and deciarer never could return to dummy for the
