Farmer Brown's boy was sure that only a very. very hungry Fox would have been so bold, especially when he couldn't help leaving foot- prints in the snow, a trail every one could follow easily. It had led Farmer Brown's boy a long way to a lonely hollow sel- dom visited by any but the shyest of wild folk. Reddy Fox had just ruii out from the brush at the bottom of the hollow and was standing still watching from a short distance. Lying in the brush was another Fox, \vho made no at- tempt to run, or cvcn to get up on his feet. "He is in trouble. Something has happeinedho him." thought Farmer Brown's boy as he hurried forward.

Sheepishly, the other admitted that it had indeed been he. “But I'll bet you didn't get the defense I gotl" he said bitterly, and pro- ceeded to elaborate. This had been the deal: South dealer.

From here we will let South take over the descrip- tlon: "I put up dummy's king and led a club. Okay so far? East played the club queen! I won with the ace, then led a heart back to "Poor little Fox” murmured Farm- trouble a Fox or any other Mother Nature's children can get in. He was held last by one paw in the cruel. merciless Jaws of a steel trap. and he had been for several days. freckled face of Farmer Brown's boy was filled with, mingled pity and anger as he knelt beside the Fox and saw in the eyes watching , and suffering. iltll dummy and played another club toward my own hand. This time East played the six-spot-and how could I tell what to do?

After that. there was no way that I could avoid the loss of three diamond tricks and two clubs." It is true that this declarer ran up against formidable defense, and on the surface lt appears that he did not commit any palpable error. Nevertheless, his psychology was bad! A good player. such as East obviously was. does not or- w/‘z/a er Brown's boy. of he usually smiling, him so intently fear and despair. Farmer Brown's boy spoke softly, gently, soothingly. for he knew the power of mere sound of the human voice so used to ease fear and establish faith and confidence even thought the spoken words are mis- understood. For a few minutes he merely talked in a low voice as if they two had known each other always. and were old friends. All tho time he was looking" things over. trying to decide what was best to do. From a short distance Roddy Fox was watching and on his sharp face was a. look of satisfaction as if he were sure that now every- thing would be all right. Close by the trapped Fox a mass of feathers told him what had become of that Hen. Reddy had shared it with the starving and helpless Fox. He might even have merely looked on despite his own hunger. knowing the greater need of the trapped 0X19. Farmer Brown's boy continued to talk soothingly as he looked at that swollen paw in those cruel laws. but his mind was filled with anger toward the heartless trap- per who had been too lazy or " thoughtless to visit this trap every day. He knew by what he could see that this trap had been unat- tended for several days. Slowly he reached to take hold of the trap, all the time talking gently. The Fox made no attempt to bite. Perhaps he understood that here WES l friend who wgg "Vi"! l0 hell). That is what Farmer Brown's boy thought and still thinks. Perhaps it was that the Fox was too weak to try to bite. His eyes were fixed on the hands that were trying to pres; down the spring and release those "I181 Jaws. At last the paw was free. The Fox made an attempt to get on his feet but he was too weak to walk. He lay down again panting, and the look of hopelessness re- turned to his eyes. Farmer Brown's boy reached out and very gently stroked him. Perhaps there was something in the touch of his hand akin to the sound of his voice, for some of the wildness and fright left the eyes Watching him so intently. “Poor little Fox!” murmured Farmer Brown's boy. "What are we do to now? I can't leave you here. If that hard-hearted Trap- Der shouldn't return and find you you would almost certainly starve t. death for you will be in no con- dition to catch foor for yourself a while yet.
