Back where he had come irom. Little Joe Otter was having tun. He was sliding down the very bank Little Too-Smart had accidentally rolled down. He was making himself a slippery-slide: There is nothin! that Little Joe Otter delllhl-S in more than a slippery-slide down a bank into the water.

friends. Some day. when he had learned how to use it, he would know this.

For a while he whimpeved to himself asyhe sat on the flat rock and wondered how ever he would be able to get ashore again. Fin- ally, he curled up ior a little nap andasun bath-. when he awoke.he felt better. Jolly, round, bright Mr. sun had dried him all. He was just about to get to his leet when, happening to look down along the shore on one side. he saw someone or something moving. He kept per- fectly still. In a moment he saw that it was another fisherman. He was sure he had seen this one be- fore. He wore a black mask, and had rings on his big bushy tail. It must be Bobby Coon whom he had once seen shortly alter he had left home to' go out into the Great World. Who else would there be

his tail? As a matter of fact, it was one of Bobby's relatives, not Bobby himself. It was Old Racky, a big Coon who had lived a long. long time at the foot of the Great Mountain.

qld Racky was moving slowly along the shore at the edge of the water. Presently he came to an old log lying partly in the water. He walked out on this and looked down in the water. Then he stretched himself out on that log, and thrust both black hands down in the wa- tei:.as far as he could reach. He seemed to be feeling around down there. He was. He was feeling in the mud. All the time he was look- ing around with never so much as a single glance down in the water at what he was doing. In a mom- ent, ihe ' pulled out a Frog that had been hiding down in the mud. He had the Frog gripped in his black hands. He washed it. Anyway, it. Then he took it back on shore.

30 9sDOOQ' TRUMP MISERS

The average player is apt to take a nilseriy Iattltude where trumps are concerned.

It should not be necessary to point out that trumps are like every other sort of trick: expend- able for worthwhile objectives. The retention of a trump by declarerl when they should have been glad to cash those trumps. has been real- ponsible for the loss of thousands of contracts in which the last trump would have squeezed the op- ponents; and on the other hand. thousands of defenses have been ruined by players who could simply not bear to part with their trumps. For example, consider the follow- ing case:

south dealer. A East-West. xvulnev-slain 7 V A Q 6 5 3 Q A K Q o 4. K .1 7 4 Q 10 5 A J 4 3 . ff. 9 1 N ' it i J 10 I 4 2 Ws E 9 2 0 - 4. Q io a 4-9 5 5 A K 9 5 5 9 3 7 5 3 .1. A 6 3 2 i one bidding: South West North am 1 0 Pass 2 9 Pass 2 gr Pass 4 NT Pass 5 Q (i) Pass 6 Q Pass Pass Pass South felt that his woefully

weak diamond suit demanded a. slowing-down of the bidding, so he iibbed to his partner about the number of aces he held when North used the Blackwood Convention West opened the heart Jack. This gave South 9. tree finesse so he put in dummy's queen. East cov- ered, however, and South lead to ruff. Then one lead 0! trumps re- vealed the bad situation. and South saw that he was in serious trouble, since it would obviously be hard, if not impossible, to handle all the rest of the cards without loss. Declarer discarded a club on the ace of hearts. then led a low heart - and East slipped. He should have rufted with a. high trump and re- turned a trump, but he elected to discard a spade. South ruffed, cashed the top spades, discarding a. club, then led to the king of clubs. Now, on another heart lead, East still could have redeemed hlmseli by rulring high and ' di trump, but this time he discarded a. club - and it was all over! South ruffed the trick. cashed the -club see, then rurfed I spade with an honor. when he then led the last

heart from dummy. East had to be satisfied with one diamond trick.
