Peter Rabbit couldn't keep away from the Smiling Pool. No, sir, he couldn't. e slipped over there every chance h got. There at the edge oi the water he wasted a lot or time just sitting around. It was curiosity that kept him there. Curiosity is one the greatest of all time-wsstcrs. Peter had thought he knew everybody living in the smiling Pool. N w he had discovered how oomplet y mistaken one may he even in matters one is most sure of. one evening as he sat at the edge of the Smiling Pool a small per- son who was a total stranger to hlm had appeared. Before there was time to get really acquainted. Mrs. Muskrat out in the middle oi the Smiling Pool had slapped the water with her rubbery tail, her alarm signal. and the little strang- er had vanished as by magic: illde can run on the water and his name is Waterioot He is . cousin oi Shorttaii the shrew. and . m-mmmm contract Bridge I3) Josephine Culbertson .:ODbQR&DU L THE REASONABLE EXPLANAT- l0N The only reasonable explanation of declarer's loss or his slam con- tract ln iodayls deal is that he ne- glected to count irir-':s! south dealer.

He cashed the heart king and trump ace, then a low trump to the queen. His next move was to lead the heart jack through East ior a ruiiing-finesse. obviously. he was lucky to find East with the heart queen. but as it happened, this luck did not carry over into the ilnal outcome. (Naturally. East re- fused to cover the heart jack.) South discarded a club on this trick. then led the heart ten. Again East played low. and again south discarded. West however, took a vigorous hand In the proceedings by ruifing the third heart. and dc- clarer still had not provided for his last club loser. with only one entry. the diamond king. leit in dummy. he could not set up and reach another heart trick. and so had to concede defeat. Full success was well within South's grasp. it he had but known it! All he had to do was draw the outstanding trumps, then over- take the heart king with the ace. lead the heart jack and pass it. He could continue to lead hearts until the queen was driven out, and claim his contract. no matter who had the heart queen! X ---. .. .i lly Thornton W. , .. V H "who says I can't swim?" squeaked watarioot. .::s..... that is all I know about him." Pe- ter told Mrs. Peter. ill: he is a shrew that ought to be enough. It is (or me," declared little Mrs. Peter. "But he can walk on the water. Anyway. he can run on it." cried Peter. y - "What of it? He's welcome 1! he wants to. I'm sure I don't want to. Good solid ground suits me," re- torted Mrs. Peter. "But think how wonderful that is!" cried Peter. "You don't know any one else who can do that. Jer- ry Muskrat can't do it. nor Billy Mink, nor Little Joe Otter. You know how at home in the water they are." "Perhaps that (allow isn't. Per- haps that iellow runs on the water because he cant swim in it." sug- gested Mrs. Peter. and ended the subject by hopping away to an- other part or the dear Old Brier- patch. Alter that Peter just had to find out more about Waterioot the shrew. He began to spend much time around the smiling Pool. As usual he was full of questions and asked all his irlends who lived in the neighborhood about Waterloot, but no one seemed to know much about him. It M ” seemed to him that the more questions he asked" the less he learned. Every- body seemed to be too busy with their own affairs to have paid any attention to Waterioot. The lat- ter managcd to keep out or sight most or the time, anyway. But curiosity can be very, very patient and at long last Peter was rewarded. At shadow time one evening, a thin. high, squeaky voice said, f'l-lello. Lonsears. Are you still around?" Peter looked down, At the edge of the water. right beside him was waterioot. He looked much like his cousin. Shorttail, who was a neighbor oi Peter's in the dear Old Brier-patch. He had the same sharp sort oi lace, tiny eyes that could hardly be seen, and short, close i'ur that reminded Peter a little oi the coat that Miner the Mole wears. He was about the size of shorttall. but in two things he was very diiierent He had much bigger hind ieet and he had a long tail. "Do you run on the water be- cause you can't swim?" asked Pe- ter. "Who Says I can't swim?" squeak- od waterioot. "No one." replied Peter hastily. "I have seen you on the water but never in it. so I wondered." For answer waterioot plunged into the water. He swam under water and little air bubbles in his iur made him look silvery. He dived and went to the bottom. There he walked along on the bottom. Pe- ter could see him clearly in the still water ior it was not yet dark. He stopped and began to dig. Peter wondered what he was dining (or, "He is at home in the water. He certainly is. x don't know any one more at home. not even Jerry Muskrat." thought Peter.
