"There's something doing up there." said Teddy Bear. "Let's go see what it is." replied Totty Bear. Now growing on one bank of that pool there was I big tree. 1 favorite tree with the two little Bear's. They headed straight (or ll when they got their first glimpse of the big pool. no one was in sight The cubs made for the big tree and climbed it. They looked down on the pool. Nchodi was in sight. Then Taddy Bear. looking down on the bank almost directly under the tree. discovered something that lmade him lean forward and look more-closely, Right there the bank lwas very steep and at the very steepest put it seemed to he simmther and wetter than at any nlhPi' place; it was even somewhat muddy. Nothing green was left. growing there. That bank hLdn't looked t.hLx way the lut time he. saw it Taddy was sure of that. ”What do you suppose makes tlwt hank look l:ke that right there?" asked Taddy Bear. Totty Bear leaned forward wgd looked. too. "It is diflerent from the rest of the bank I wonder win?" she replied. Hardly was the question out of lwr small mouth when Little Joe Otter appeared, He came swim- ming down from the upper end of the pool He swam down to I place where the bank was very low. Iri fact. there was almost no bank lat all. He came out of the watcr there. and ran up along the bankl :to the highest place. i For a moment or two he stood llooklng down into the water. aid- like Bear in grumbly voice. to go?" her deep "'Where would you asked Mother :?j denly he threw himself right down flat on his stomach on the steep part or the bank. His arms were held close to his body. His hind legs were straight out behind him. Down he went, headfirst into the water. It closed over him. When his brown head popped out of the water again he was way over on the other side of the pool. "What. did he do that for?" ask- ed Taddy Bear, in a wondering Lone. "He did it. for fun." said nl tvolce. and there was Mrs. Otter just passing under the tree. the two. young Otters camboling at her: heels. All three stopped At the place where Little Joe had stopped. Then. one after another. they did just what he had done. Headfirst down the slippery slide went Mrs. Otter. She swislied into the water with" 'hardly a sound. The two youngl iotters. one after the other fol-l ;ltrwed her. but when they hit the lwatn they splashed. Almost atl gonoe the-.r round brown heads hob- lbed up azalii, Then they racrdl to see which could get to the low. place, and climb out first. The meal continued to the top of the bank.l then down the slippery slide. Theyi i having fun. Yes. air. they lwere having great fun. There was ino doubt about that. . "Comic cm down and try the' lsllppery slide.

Moreover. West was a highly con- serntive bidder, which does some- thing to explain East”: very liberal raise to three hearts. West. defending against the four- spade contract, opened the king of hearts. East played the nine. and when West then led the heart ace. East followed suit with the deuce. That. was all West needed-e he led a third rou11d.of hearts. South ruffed and promptly led A club. The result was that dummy'a clubs were established before de- clarer lost. control of diamonds. and the contract became ironclad. "Partner!" East groaned. "didn't you remember that I raised your hearts? I had to have at least three cards in the suit. so how could you lead that third round? You must have known that South would ruff and set. up club: immediately. with your own and dummy! club hold- ings what they were, The diamond shift was marked!" In making this irrefutable state- ment, East proved that while he may have been an expert, he was certainly no psychologist! Playing with a non-expert partner. East should not have dreamed of asking for heart eontlnuatxioni If West had been a good player. he would have realized that nothing could be gained by leading A third heart. but I. weak player. partnered with an expert, rarely goes in for in- dependent. thinkingehe (very un- wisely) gives the expert almost slavish obeduenr-e. Thus. under the circumstances. East had only him- self to blame for the fact that the enemy stole the rubber. The Dominican Republic was formed in 1844 after the successive expulsion of the Spanish.
