First one would dive and dig. then come up for fresh air while the other took a turn at digging. They were digging a. tunnel into the bank. It went straight in only a short distance, then began to slant up. Of course as fast as they dug it, it filled with water. The mud they dug out was pushed out into the Smiling Pool. They were good workers, those two. There was no loaiing. When ti thing must be done, they be- lleved that the sooner it is done. the better. This new home in the bank was a must. Jerry had felt that all along and now Mut Jerry agreed. They dug quite a long tun- nel. Came a time at least when they were above the level of the water in the Smiling Pool. They no long- er were working in the water. Pre- sently Jerry's nose was tickled by tiny roots. They were the roots of grass, and Jerry knew that it was time to ntnke a bedroom. If they kept on digging up they would come right out into the open of the Green Meadows and that he :didn't want to do. As it was now, lit would be their safest home. SAFECRACKEB SOUGHT EDMONTON.

You may suffer South's rate in this case: South went down 1400 points. West led the spade Jack: East,won the trick and shifted to the ace and five of trumps. Desperate, South finessed, but this simply re- suited in West's winning with his queen and soon ruffing away declare-r'a spade nine, which be- came high after a couple of leads. In the postmortem, South point- ed out that West, after passing. had made the "weak" notrump response, and that East was "marked" far from strong because he had then bid only two spades. Obviously. however, South mis- calculated, particularly in regard to East's rebid. The mere fact that a player does not make a jump rc- bld or name another suit is no proof that he is weak. South had been right in judging that he could not safely bid two diamonds over one spade: he should have stuck to that position. and not become so brave at the three-levell TOP SALUTE The biggest royal salute, 62 guns, is fired on anniversaries of a royal birth, accession and coro- nation.
