A place to you not even nloo May be anothei-‘s paradise. ~--Old Mother Nature. That is something to remember. It ls too often forgotten in form- lng opinions. Farmer Brown's barn is big, a fine ham in every wily- for those who like to live in a barn. But you wouldn't want to make it your home, to live in it. Neither would l. But to the Mouse and Rat folk it is a paradise, which means that lt is a perfect place in which to live. This is what Nibblet, the venturesome young Mouse who had come over from Farmer Brown's woodhouse, thought. He had been sure of it from the moment he met pretty Miss Mouse who had greet- cd him just after he had arrived and had Offered to show him around. Silo ivas good-looking, plump and lively. just a little younger than himself. He had lost his heart to her right then and there mid didn't need to be asked twice to follow her. In fact he wouldn't let her out of his sight if he could help it. With her leading the way all rover the big barn. She had been l born there and growmup there. she knew that barn just as he knew the woodhouse.

North jumped to two no- trump (despite his excellent spade support) Because he lelt there might be an advantage ln having the lead come up to the North hand. when. however, South reold his spades, North felt that his own red-suit holdings were not strong enough for persistence with no- l trump. West. with an almost hopeless ,hand. opened his top club on the ‘ remote chance of developing s ruff. ‘ Dummy's ten covered the nine, and .' South captured East's queen. Three , rounds of triunps were token, after which South cashed the two good clubs in dummy, discarding a. dia- mond. Now the heart king was led. East won and had two safe exit plays, a heart or n club. He chose the latter. South ruffed and now had to stake everything on the position of the diamond ace. when East captured the king and returned a diamond. the contract was doomed. South's timing of the play was what cost him the contra/st After drawing trumps, he should have knocked out the heart ace before cashing his club tricks. East could safely exit at this point with s heart or a club. but ln eith- er case South could strip the hearts from North and South hands, cash dummys two club tricks, discarding n. diamond. and then lead the fourth club. giving East the trick, and discarding another diamond. Now let East try to "get out"! lBy Thornton .W. l Wit . her leading the went over the big barn. way they wonderful hiding places, and there were many of them. There was the haymow filled with sweet-smelling hay. Under that a. Mouse could get out of sight in n jiffy and be perfectly hidden. That hay was one greet big hide-out for Mice. He hadn't dreamed‘ that there could be any such place. Several Mice had their homes in and under the hay. Moreover there was plenty to eat right there with hardly the trouble or hunting for it. Clover seeds, the seeds of other grasses, and some Weed seeds were now to Nibblet, but he found them very good eating, very good indeed. He Said so. ‘They are good, but I'll show you something better, some kinds of food that you never have tasted. If you don't say they are the best 100d you ever have eaten you'll deserve to starve." declared pretty Miss Mouse. She led him dcvm be- low to the grain bins. 11hr the first time he tasted hecms o1’ grains of corn and found them good, so good that they ate the hearts only. He tasted oats and wheat and barley. There were scattered grains on the floor by the bins and around a. couple of barrels, only a few but enough for two Mice. There was a taste of spilled mrmcai mo, and that was good. Behind the bins were piled bags of grain. Of course Nlbblet didn't know what ivas in those bogs until Miss Mouse squeezed between bags on the floor and the Wull and he followed her to a corner behind the bags. No one bigger than a Mouse could have gotten in there-There in a bag on the floor a. hole had been gnawed and groin had spilled out. Nlbblet ~wsa sure there was food enough there for all the Mice in tho world. l-le sighed happily. “We'll never, go hungry here." said he. He was beginning to understand why pretty Miss Mouse and all the other Mice he had seen in the barn were so plump. Then she took him to see the Cows and the Horses and ex- plained that when they were eating they spilled food. “All you have to do is be careful not to be stepped on," sold she, daring in front of n Cow. "They are really quite harm- less." Just the size of these huge cret- tures frightened Nlhblct. but. of course he didn't let licr know it. When a Horse stamped he jumped inside as if trying to jump out ‘of his skin. she didn't plly Ilny attent- ion. She had been born in the barn and known about Horses and Cows ever since she had begun to run about. It makes all the difference ln the world ivhether or not one is familiar with things. There were many Mice living in the barn and a lot of visiting back and forth. Once they saw Black Pussy crouched near the grain bins. "Ihut; Ont and Robber the Rat and his gang are the only enemies in.- have to watch for. There is so much food here easy to get that those Rots don't bother us as long us we keep out oi then way, and it is a stupid Mouse who can't see that Cat and keep away from him. This is the best place in all the Great World," declared Nibhletls lively guide. So it was-for Mice. It was a. M01150 paradise.
