It was in the daytime that she got there and from high in a tall pine tree where looked down on her great rind. enough dinners running about just a little way out in an open field to last her all her life.

It was so easy 1: almost seemed that it could not be true. she carried it back to the tail tree at the edge or the Green For. all and there she ate it; Then he- lnt tired Ind 5190111. she went to sleep to dream of endless delicious dinners in be had without the trouble of hunting them. "I'il never go hungry again." thought sister Hooty as she drop. ped nit to sleep. She slept the rest of the day. when she awoke the Black sha- were already creeping through the Green Forest. it was the time of day when the Owl toia usually awaken and start hunting. She was hungry again. not toohun. srv but hungry enough to think or those chickens iirnost as soon as her eyes were open. She shook out her feathers. stretched her wings. then flew over to that iieid where she had seen so many din- ners running about that morning a.nd.had only to help herself, no hunting at all. Where were these birds now? Could she have made a mistake? Could it be that this wasn't the right place? She blinked her eyes a bit foolishly as she flew low this way and that way. Not a dinner to be seen anywhere. And it wasn't because the Black Shadows were hiding those birds. It was not dark enough for that. She could see perfectly. Had an those birds flown away and hidden for the night? You see those chickens were simply birds to her. She flew back to the big tree and sat there for a while. Then she flew back to the field again. No birds. Whore had they gone? They must be hiding in the Green For- est. She went hunting tor them. She hooted and hooted to try to startle them into giving away their hiding places by moving. She hoot- ed in vain. Of course those chic- liens were in the broader houses for ihe night. and of course she knew nothing about houses 01 any kind. Her short life had been spent un- til now wholly in the Green For- est. By daylight she was back in that tree to sleep through the day. But she didn't sleep all day. She had slept only a short time when she was awakened by strange sounds. She blinked and blinked as she looked over at that field. Once more it was alive with chic- kens running about in all direct- ions. For the first time she saw a Man. To her of course he was just ll. strange two-legged person. With- out knowing why. she distrusted him. Shc,waitcd until he was out of sight. Then she flew over and caught a chicken for breakfast. so she learned that those chickens would be out by day but not by night. After that she lived high.

West opened the heart king. and the final result was a three-trick. 800-point defeat of the contract. Discussing the auction. both North and south admitted that they had made questionable bids - North, by bidding three spades over three, clubs. and South, by carry- ing on to the spade garhe. How- ever, each partner pointed out that he had been somewhat "on the spot." North said that he had cer- tainly not wanted to sell out to three clubs alter having passed a very fair hand originally: and South said that in View of North's redouble and spade raise, it had seemed too timid to "hang" one trick short of game. Whatever can be said tor or against these respective arguments, the more pertinent point is that a slight change in the auction would have eliminated all "pro- blems." In the bidding system used by North-South. South was forced to pass over two clubs be- cause a bid at this point would show additional values. but a great many experts disagrees with this premise. Observe the fundamental difference if South bids two dia- monds over East's two cluixl Now if West makes the same three- club call, North has the obvious and safe three-diamond bid avail- able - and of course South passes. In this, as in many other cases. it is safer to show a second suit than to pass! KING OF THE ROYAL MOUNTED CHICAGO FOR A - FEW DAV5.
