Striped Chipmunk was out gathering dry leaves to take down mo his house under the old stone Thornton W. Burgess Orchard near Farmcr Brown's dooryard. It is only a little way from the old stone wall over to Farmer Brovrnls back door. Striped Chipmunk had carried mouthful after mouthful of dry leaves down into his snug bedroom. some- times he had stuffed both cheek pockets full, and the leaves had stuck out from both sides of his mouth so that he looked as if he had a big, fierce moustache. He sat up on the wall to rest I. few minutes before taking more leaves down. He looked over toward Farmer Brown's house. He saw lMother Brown come out of the wall along one side of the Old back door and lay something on Wednesday. At 8.00 ATTENTION MISS SYBIL BENNETT.

When she had gone back in the house he saw that she had left something white on the green lzrass. He wondered what it could 5' I: Now Striped Chipmunk long ago learned not to be careless. He looked this way. He looked that way. He made sure that neither .Biacl: Pussy the Cat, Flip the Terrier, nor Bowser the Hound, was anywhere in that door- yard. He made sure that the way was clear. He jumped down from the wall and scampered 'across the grass to see what it was Mother Brown had put out there. It was a pair of white shoestring: that she had washed and put out in the sun to dry. Just as Striped Chipmunk got to them Mother Brown came to the door, and he turned and scampered back to the old wail. After all he didn't have use for shoestrings; at least that is what he thought at the moment. He went back to his job of carrying dry leaves down to make a big soft comfortable bed. It was some time later that a thought popped into Striped Chip- munk's small head. "I wonder if I could use one of those things." thought he, and when the opportunity came, he scampered over to those shoestrings lying on the gras. They were dry now, and very white. They be- longed to Farmer Brown's Boy who lidd a pair of white tennis shoes. Striped Chipmunk picked one up. He liked the feel or it in his month; he was sure he could use it in ills bed. It would be something new, something different. He started back, dragging the shoestring with him. Once he got tangled up in it. He took it down between the stones of the old wall, through the long lunnel, and finally into his bed- room. There he spent some time arranging it to suit him. He liked it, He would go back and Lgnt the other one, he decided. He rdld. As before he made sure that 'Black Pussy was not in sight, and 'that Flip the Terrier and Bowser Ithe ldound were not around. Then ;he scampered across the dooryard, and picked up one end of the other Ishoestring. He started hack with it zioward the old wall. He was not :quite there when Farmer Brown's ,Boy came out of mg house to get Ihis shoestrings. l I "I thought you said those shoe- contract Bridge By Josephine Culbertson sooeooooocooooom GAMBLED DEFENSE It almost seemed that East and West vied with each other in the Lollowing hand to see which could roduce the worse defense - and East Wnnl West dealer: Both ides vulnerable.

Pass Pass Pass South said later that he had been tempted to get into the auction over East's two hearts, but he felt that it would be better to wait and see what developed. When West simply rebld spades, and East subsided, South decided to take a chance on the three-club call. 11' he could make the contract he would go game by virtue of his partscore. and if the opponents competed further, North might be able to take good care of them. West laid clown the spade king, followed up with the spade ace, and then carelessly continued with the ten of spades. East. after ruffing. naturally assumed that thc ten was a. suit-preference signal asking for the return of the hig er'side suit, and so he led bac a heart. (Perhaps West had a singleton heart, East reasoned, or perhaps he was even void in the suit.) West covered declarel-is heart ten with the king and dummy won. Now South led a trump from the board- and East made a frightful mistake - he duckedl South went rlghtup with the king and returned a trump - and East was end- played. Conceding that West should not have selected the ten-spot for his third spade lead, it fas nevertheless inexcusable (or East to trap gum- ssif by ducking the first trump lead from dummy. If he had properly put up the ace and "got out" with a. trump, South might well have gone down two tricks by putting in the club jack.
