South let out e bellow that could be heard at quite a dis- tance! This. of course, was inex- cusable on South's pert, since bridge is supposed to be played without facial or verbal histrion- ics, but we won't deny that. South was a sorely tried player! Four hearts went down throe tricks, but this was fairly cheap for But-West inasmuch as East had 100 honors. North, pointing to the fact that South could not have made wen three spades against the beet: de- fense, said that he couldn't under- stimd South's ettltude—surely. n net profit of 200 points was better than going down It their own con- tract! This gentle philosophy was not soot-hing to South! He pointed out in no uncertain terms that his pass over four hearts was absolute! forcing, demanding that. North either double four hearts, or if he preferred. that he bid four spades. Since North had held nothing for spades and did have some defense against hearts. his decision (South said) was ready-made for him. Soulh5s view, if not his "attit- ude", was correct! The forcing pass situation was implicit in all the hids that had and had not been made. and North should not simply have refused to “open hie mouth." ' bfivening and they were whet is high f nor wlds enough for them to tell really safe from a flood. Thunder cracked and crackled and rumbled and roared. Iaightninfl darted and flashed and streaked eu-oss the sky. Rain fell and fell and fell until it seemed as if all the sky must be water and it was all falling at once. That. storm was what is called a cioudburst. The thirsty earth could not. drink it in fast enough and the water hovered the ground all about until only the mounds of the Prairie Dole were to be seen above water. like little islands in a lake. Each mound was really s wide. built-up doorstep and dam com- pletely eround the not-too-blg en- trance to a home wry down d"? in the ground. A break in one of those doorstep-dams would allow the water to pour down in and perhaps drown the ones living there. But it was for lust such a time as this, n cloudburst, that those mounds had been made wide and high and the earth pounded and stamped so that not even the hardest. rain could wash it away. In snug homes way down deep in the ground the little household- ers were dry and comfortable and getty sleepy, for it. was the edge called diurnal folk. ‘That means that they love daylight and. are out then to work and play and get their food, sleeping at night. Folks who are out through the night, like Timmy the Flying Squirrel and l-laoty the Owl, are whet is celled nocturnal. Those sound like much bigger words for small tongues than they really are. and they are easy to remember-I- diurnnl, day loving; nocturnal. night loving. Way down in their snug bed- rooms the thunder could hardly be heard and the lightning couldn't be seen and nobody worried. That is nobody but Yap Yap and Mrs. Yap Yap. who had had time to build only e. low and narrow dam before the storm. They worried. was it high enough? Was it wide enough, thick enough to keep the water from working through? ‘They toot turns climbing up to make sure, and to try to stop n leak if they should iind one. They were two worried folks. Yes, in- deed. they were two worried little people while the storm lasted.
