South's opening bid had not been roliust defensively, ind when North raised spades dir- cctly over Wests takeout double, he denied the ability to redouble, and so limited his top-card strength. West led the diamond arc; East thought for a inniiicni and played the three lIilllS revealiniz that he did not have a singleton). West iihen cashed the heart ace and continued with the heart jack.

Soutli.wns not, displeased, to dig him out. Yet, although he feels so safe he doesn't trust wholly to having his house deep in the ground. He knows the value or a back door. He knows that while Roddy Fox or Flip the Terrier might get tired and give up trying to dig him out. there is one enemy who can follow hint wherever he may go. Can you guess who it is? It is Shadow the Weasel. the fierce little hunter of whom all the little people of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest are in deadly fear. ttOnly the foolish have only one doorway, only one way ofcscapc in time of danger." Johnny has said more than once to Peter Rabbit. So when Johnny digs a new home he always has at least one back door. Sometimes he has more than one. More than this. he tries to keep those buck doors hidden as well as possible. He has no doorstep at a back door. Xou know at his front door he iistiaiiy has a big yellow doorstep of sand which he digs out. He doesnt care who sees that doorway. That door- step is a handy place on which to sit and watch the world go by. Also to watch for enemies. lie doesn't use his back door often; as a rule only when necessary. Now although he tries to keep Ihis backdoors secret, some of his 'neighbors do know about them. Peter Rabbit and Mrs. Peter are among these. It is knowledge that can be useful. It had just been useful to Mrs. Peter. Flip the Temer had been right at her heels when she had dodged into one of those back doors and was safe. ;Peter, who had been wtching from the dear Old Briar-patch with his heart feeling as if it were up in his throat, had sighed with re- lief. Now he was cross. Relief works that way smnctimes, Cur- ious, isn't it? Peter was cross with Mrs. Peter for giving him such I but he would have had consider- ably more cause for satisfaction if he had chosen the following line of play: After capturing West's trump king, South should ruff dumm,v's last heart. He then Cashes the trump jack and diamond queen. West can let go a diamond on the trump lead but South plays rin- nthcr trump. in the ten,Wcst must give up his last heart. (II he throws a club, South should read his original distribution and play ace-low in clubs to drive out the king.-i ' Now. with West obviollsly holding two diamonds and three clubs, declarer throws a club on the diamond king and another which is passed to West. The latte-hr's forced return of a club goves South the contract. Yposscssion.

He docs THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN in leaving the dear Old Brian-patch. Then he hurried over to meet Mn. Peter as she came out of Johnny Chuck's back door. He was Itill cross. He began scolding as soon as he was near enough. Mrs. Peter paid no attention to it. Perhaps she was used to it. Perhaps who was thinking of the previous babies hidden in the grass out on the Green Meadows. It was to save them she had gone to meet Flip the Terrier and lead him from where they were. with Peter grumbling and scolding, she led the way toward the clear Old Brlat-patch.
