NOTHING COMPLICATED REQUIRED

South had a chance to safeguard his contract via one simple play in today's deal but he "missed the ogint."

South's hand would have been too strom for a preemptive open- ing; in first or second position. but after his partner passed, the four- heart shutout was proabaly the best tactic.

East thought about i.ak.ng out Westis double to four spades, on the logical premise that his par- tner was doubling on general strength rather than excellent heart defense. but a four-spade bid for all East could tell, might end

in catastrophe, and so he acceptcd the double. After all. West might be able to beat South. all by him- self. i

West opened the club king and continued with the ace. South ruf- fed and did the logical thing - he returned a spade to void dummy of that suit and pave the way for spade rum. Unfortunately, how- ever. he picked the wrong spade for his lea l His low spade was ducked by eat; and East won. he plvmptly xetumed a trump, cut- ting down dummy! ruffing power. Now, although South put up the trump ace, he could ruff only two spades i dummy, and that he had to give up. in all, two spades. one heart and the club.

It should have been very ap- parent to South that the enemy would lead trumps as soon as they could do so comfortable, and surely it was desirable. from South's viewpoint. to have that trump lead come up to his hand. rather than through it. With West showing his side's strength via his double, the presumption was that he had the spade ace, and so South should have led the spade king. to insure as far as he could that West would be on lead. That was all Smith had 16 do to make the con- tra('l.

It is interesting to observe that West could have defeated the con- tract against declarer's best efforts if he had shifted to trumps immed- iately. giving up his trick there to remove two trumps from dum- my.

THE GUARDIAN.

Be not too trustful. Move with care when stranger tongues bespeak you fair.

-Old Mother Nature.

Little Stripes. small son of Strip- ed Chipmunk. was over in' the Green Forest. He had started out to see the Great World. Now he wished he hadn't. You see. he was lost. His home had been under the old stonewall on the edge of the Old Orchard. lt no longer was his home, although he would have gone back there if he could. He had left it without knowing that he would never go back.

When he had started out to sen the Great World he had feared nothing and no one. He hadnit known what fear was. This was because down in the snug home in the ground under the old wail there had never been anything to frighten him. But now he knew what it was to be afraid. Indeed. it seemed to him that he was afraid all the time. Every new sound frightened him. Not only was he frightened. but he was lonesome. He wanted to ialk to some one. So it was that when Sammy Jay came along and stop- ped to ask questions. the small Ch-ipimunk was quite ready to make friends with this handsome stranger. Of course, he knew no- thing about Sammy Jay, but he felt sure that no one as handsome as this new acquaintance could be one to be afraid of.

"You must be one of Striped Chipmunks children,” said Sam- my Jay.

Little Stripes nodded. "I am."

said he. ”Whnt are you doing so far from home?" asked Sammy Jav.

At the word home the small Chipmunk priciked up his small ears. "Do you know where my home is?" he asked.

”Ol course I know where home is. I was over that way a short time ago. Dont you know where it is?" asked Sammy Jay.

Little Stripes shook his head. "No," he confessed in a very small voice.

”Do you mean you are lost?" asked Sammy Jay. "But of course if you don't know where your home is you must be lost." he add- ed, answering his own question. ”Perhaps." said the little Chip- munk timidly. ”you could show me the way home."

"What are you doing so for from home?" asked Sammy Jay.

"Of course." replied Sammy Jay. "it isn't too far from here. I could. but I don't know as I should."

”Why shouldn't you?" the little Chipmunk wanted to know.

"Because." rc-plied Sammy Jay. "now that you are out in the Great World it probably is best tilt you should stay out in the Great World."

"I don't like the Great Woi'ld.l I don't want to stay out in it. I want to go home. Please, Mr.-- "Little Stripes hesitated. You see. he didnt know to whom he was talking.

"Jay-Mr. Samiiiy Jay," said Sammy, his eyes twinkling. ”What were you going to ask?"

"Please. Mr. Jay, wonit you show me the way liomo'."' asked Little Stripes eagerly.

Sammy Jay pretended to think

this over. "Your legs are very short," said he. "But I can run fast," replied

Little Stripes, "if you don't fly too fast I'm sure I can keep up."

"All right." agreed Sammy Jay. "Ill try In fly slowly. I'll fly from free lo trrr. Perhaps in that way you ran kc-rip me in sight."

So Sammy Jay started off flying from tree to tree, waiting in each for the little Chipmunk to catch up. But Sammy wasn't flying to- ward the old stonewall. No. sir. he wasn't doing that at all. He was going in quilt: another direction. You see. he knew that the little Chipmunk having left home
