From East's point of view it was extremely desirable to let West cash the spade ace be- fore the diamond suit was con- tinued. So, hoping that West would read the situation, East re- turned his top spade.

He was afraid, very much afraid. that he might never see Striped Chip- munk again. You see he knew that somewhere down below in the ground Shadow the Weasel was hunting for striped Chip- munks house. If he found it .'l dreadful thing would be sure to happen; Striped Chipmunk and all his family would be killed.

There was nothing he could do mid he knew it. He didn't even know where Striped Chipmunks home was. All he knew was that it must be somewhere in the ground with an entrance undo: the old stonewall. ”If that Weasel kills Striped Chipmunk I'll shoo: him the first chance I get," con- tinued Farmer Brownie Boy. "Yes, sir, I'll shoot him."

He sounded as if he rcnlly meant that threat, but he didirt. You see, Farmer Brown's Boy knew that Shadow was doing only what it was in his nature to do. He knew, too, that in Old Mother Nature's plan each one of her children must look out for him- self. It is her way of teachingv, complete independence. Those who must hunt others in order that they themselves may live must be smart enough to catch the one-; they seek. On the other llillld those who are hunted must be smart enough not to lbQ caught by

Now whil Farmer Brown's Boy waited an worried striped Chip- mum: and Mrs. striped Chipmunk were waiting and worrying. Strip- ed Chipmunk had done what he could to keep Shadow from find- ing them. but. was it enough? All he could do now was to wait and uorry. So up on top of the ground Farmer Brown's Boy was waiting and worrying, and somewhere down in the ground Striped Chip- munk was waiting and worrying The only one who wasn't worry- ing was Shadow the Weasel.

Shadow had no trouble in find- ing the doorway to Striped Chip- munk's home underground. That keen little nose of his had led lzini straight to it. Being so small lte had no difficulty at all in en- icrlng through that doorway in- to the long tunnel which he thought would lead him to the snug bedroom of the Chipmunks.

But it hadn't led him there. No. sir, it hadn't done anything of the kind. It had led him to n srorcroom in which Striped Chip- lllllllk had put away some seeds. when that was all he found. Shadow lost his temper. He doesn't care for seeds. He loses his tem- per very easily. Every little thing that is not just as Shadow wants it to be causes him to lose his llcmpcr. He snarled as he turned in run back along that tunnel Ix-shich. so far as he was concerned,

He knew jwhat had happened. At least he thought he did. There must be a ;branch tunnel and somehow he ilmd run past it. It was a good guess. That tunnel had branched
