Burgess) THE FINISH The finish pnly really counts; Nothing else to much amounts. -Blacky the Crow. Blacky is both right and wrong. A race is neither won noi- lost until the finish but. sometimes the ivay, 1Y1 which it is run amounts to more for the loser than does the winning for the winner. There is more to a race than just speed. The Green Meadows have seen many races. They happen there almost every day. They are ex- Cilills races because usually a race is for life. Nothing can be more exciting than that. Blaclq the Crow and Mrs. Blacky- were watching just such a race and they were so excited they were cawing at the top of their voices. From the Old Pasture Reddy Fox was racing to get to the dear Old Brier-patch before Peter Rabbit coming from the Green Forest, could get to it. Reddy was racing for his breakfast. Peter was rac- ing for his life. VWiich would win From the top of a tall tree on U18 rdse of the Green Meadows Blacky and Mrs. Blacky could see Prtrfs white tall bobbing up and down up and down- for all the world like a white ball bouncing "Pry fast. At the same time they .couid see Raddy Fox running so fast that he seemed to skim over the ground. He didn't bounce and bound the way Peter did. Just once he stopped and stood up on his hind feet for a quick look to see just where Peter was. "He's going to gel; there first." croaked Mrs. Blacky. “It looks so" agreed Blacky “Reddy has been trying for a long time to catch Peter. This time it looks as if he will do it, We'll miss Peter. It wont seem quite the same around here without that wabbiy little nose of his poking into other peoples business. He has nobody to blame but himself Run, Peter! Run!" "Just as if Peter isn't running his hardest," said Mrs. Blacky. A minute later she herself was l i‘ ll Contract Bridge, By Josephine Culbertson TOO MANY TRUMPS Most players feel that the posses- ion of a great many trumps gives them a sound penalty ciouble. The truth is that they would be far better off if they could give their partners. say. two of their own five or six trumps! Observe this vase: South dealer.

He had not been entirely confident about his defense against hearts, but spades-i West opened the diamond king. and, when dummy appeared, tried to destroy Souths presumptive cross-ruff by shifting to the spade nine. South won with the ten. cashed his top hearts and ruffed a after which the top clubs were cashed. declarer discarding a heart. Another diamond ruff reduced South's hand to the A-Q-o of trumps and one heart while West still held the K-J-8-4 of trumps. South now led the heart. and West had to ruff and return a trump up to declarerh major tenace. This gave South two more tricks, and though West now held the high trump, it was only his third trick. It was because of East's inability to lead trumps that the contract oould not be defeated. South merely had to make sure of several of his own low trumps by a deliber- ate shortening process. that is, ruf- llP KIRBY THE LAUNCi-il THERE SHE lSi HEIIKDED FOR i oswuouri-ismmis.’ FT-‘T I l I,’ will ., ‘kqllllll. .1.’ l M.» / \ ting diamonds. heart.

Peter needed no urging to run He couldnt go any faster. He knew that he never had been in greater danger than he was now and he knew that it was his own fault. lie should have returned home before daylight. Then he wouldn't have been seen. But he didift think about that now. It was too late for that. He thought of Just one thing. getting to the dcar Old Briad-patch first. Just now nothing else iiiiiitcrecl .'l‘hat did.
