Here ls the sort of deal that elves the lvernae player trouble: Booth dealer. Both sides vulnerable. 1n many games this would probably be the bidding: South West North Iiast 1o Pass 24. Pass 2N1‘ Pass 3]. Pasa 3N1‘ Pass Pass Pass North's second club bid would technically be s. sign-off - but how many South players would be satisfied with a three-club con- tract? Certainly. very iewl Now observe North's dilemma. if South does bid three nolrump over three clubs. From North's point of view, South might have the ace and one or two small clubs. in which case North's suit would probably produce six winners. North might. “run" to four clubs ii three notrump was doubled, but he would surely keep his peace otherwise. It is easy to see that three no- Lrump would be soundly trounced -ln fact. South would probably win only five tricks and thus would suffer a wit-point penalty. All or which leads to the point of this discussion. It is only fair to‘ admit that some experts would rc-zporld to a diamond on North's holding~in all likelihood with one notrump, not with two clubs -—bui- the most highly respected bidding (By Thornton W. Burgess) o m: GUARDIAN.‘ CHARLOTTETMVN began to dig again only this time he was digyjag out instead of digging in. ne was opening the door instead of closing it. He was very careful about it. He didn't. hurry. He dug away the sand little by little and kicked it down behind him. when the sand had been dug away erlough for fresh air to come in he drew in long breaths of it. As yet he couldn't see over the edge of the hole. He could see little more than sky. This was because when he had closed the door by plugging the entrance passage with earth it had been below the level of the ground. So now for s. few minutes he tested the fresh air with his sharp nose for the hated Man smell. There was none. not the tiniest bit. And he listened with his ears open their widest to catch the faintest sound that might mean his enemy was waiting for him to come out. He heard Slowly, little by little, little by little, eyes. ears and nose all work- ing. he crept up unti his eyes were above ground and he could see over the surrounding grass. No one was in sight. Digger came wholly out. He shook himself. He shook himself hard. Some sand flew out of his coat. Ii none had it would have been queer. But there wasn't as much of it aa you might think there would have been. He had kept the hair out oi is coat pressed close against him while he dug. So surprisingly No one was in sight little had worked into his silvery gray coat. But fliers was a lot in the hair of his head and face. This he now brushed out and he ddl a. good Job.

Of course they are the kind of toenails or fingernails called claws. long, stout and with sharp points. The three middle ones are the longest. and they are really long.

"Did you say tools?" asked ‘an unexpected voice. it was one of Digger-ls small cousins. a Weekl- Why do I call him a cousin? Be- cause he ls. Digger ls a member of the Weasel family.
