Peter said no more. but he kept a watchful eye on Mrs. Peter. when her back was turned, he slipped out or the dear Old Brier- patch and away he raced across the Green Meadows lipperty, lip- pertyp lip. Mrs. Peter looked out just in time to see his white tail bobbing up and down and growing: smaller and smaller. until at last she couldn't see it at all. "Curiosity. It is going to get him into a lot of trouble some time." said Mrs. Peter to herself. "But I would like to know Who those visitors are myself,” she added. When Peter reached the Smiiin-: Pool he went straight to his izivoriie form. as the place where :'i Rabbit IS in the habit of sitting is called. It was under a big fern near the edge of the Smiling Pool and at a place where he could se: all that was Eoing rvi. Eaqerly he lrokcd for the visitors he had heard were at the Sllliiln: Pool.

When he reached the Smil- ing Pool. he out down his lonsz legs and alig-hted at the edge of the water. For an instant he stretched his great wings straight up. then folded them. Now his long neck was streiclvd up to its full length as he looked over the Smiling Pool. For what seemed to Peter a long time, but was only a moment or two. Lznglezs stood perfectii still. Then he folded his neck back between his shoulders. and with long slow stcps walked along at the edge of the water until he reached the place where the cat- mils and rushes grew. It happened to i:-" close to where Peter was sitting. There Longlegs stood on one foot, the other drawn up out of sight among his feathers. He was partly hidden by the rushes. .He didn't move 5.1 much as a lfeather. He was waiting for a Fro: ,nr a Minnow to come within rea 21. 11-19 knew that as long as he didn't imove. he wasn't likely to be seen. i Peter was just about to ask Long- Iegs what he knew about the vis- iitors from the Sunny South, when ;happening to look over where lLau:,'hing Brook left the Smiling Pool on its way to the Big River, he saw two strangers flying low above Laughing Brook. They were coming up from the Bir River lust as Longlegs had. The surpris- ing thing about them was that they were pure white. But for this. they would have looked very much lllke lnnglegs, only smaller. Thev alighted on the other side of the Smiling Pool. One waded out a liittle way in the water The other walked along the shore. "Tlfev must. be cousins of Long- iegs." thought Peter. "With such long legs, lonz necks and long blls, they simply must be Herons. I wonder who thev are and where they came from. If they are from the Sunny South. I wonder whnt they came up here for at this time of year This is the time of year, when other feathered folk are go- of coming from it. They look inst inn: to the Sunny South instead alike so they must be iwins." Peter Wasn't really using his IF Li '1. MVSTEWOLJS GOTTA NEAR ms Nixsry OLE I DRAlN PlDE,ALLiT5-s0a.'.'- kiAT'(HERAL.

South win: and t-axes another round oftrumps, then stops to consider how he can maneuver so as to make his con- tract against my conceivable posi- tion of the missing honors. South's danger. obviously. lies in the possibility of losing two club tricks and two diamonds. ie, that both the king: and queen of dia- monds are off-side in Easfs hand. To provide against this conting- ency, the expert contemplates in strip play. He can easily cash the top hearts and mi! dummy's third heart. then begin to eliminate the clubs If West cannot get in twice in clubs, so as to lead diamonds twice through dummy": ace, the danger disappears. However. the expert .declarer perceives that west may twice win the lead in clubs if the suit is played in normal fashion that in, by cashing the ace and load- ing another round. What is to be done about this? The answer lies in the opening lead! West cannot have the K-Q-J of clubs. because with that holding he certainly would have opened the suit. E0 south strips the hearts and then leads a club to the ten. This obsolutely prevents West from set- ting In twice in clubs, which in turn gives South iull opportunity to strip the clubs safely and then pass a diamond to East, who will be end-played. eyes. He thought he was. But the truth is. the two handsome strang- ers in white didn't look just alike. By Al Cavp By Alex Raymond MR. KIEEV.
