she was sale now: but waht about Thunderer.

Mrs. Grouse, as she tried to go to sleep, "but somehow. I just cant help it. That feeling that something is wrong is just a feeling. That is all it is, just a feeling. There is no reason" for it, but I can't help it; i Thunderer, her hadsome mate wasn't worrying. He wasn't the least bit troubled. He was satisfied He had had his way, It was he who had wanted to go to bed in the snow and he had been a little impatient with Mrs. Grouse because she hadn't been as eager to as he. Now he was a foot or two away from her with snow in between, and they couldn't talk. So he didnt know that she was still troubled. Had he known he would have said it was all nonsense. A few moments after he had settled down there in the snow he was asleep. 1

Mrs. Grouse did her but to go toy sleep. But the more she tried, the more wide awake she becamel Somthing wasn't right, and she mil to find out what that something: was. She would fly back up in that tree from which she and Thunderer had plunged into the snow. ?

"It wasn't quite dark when we. came down in here. and I don't believe it is dark yet," said she to herself. ”I'll just fly up and have one more look around just to make sure that everything is all right. if everything is all right, I'll forgrt

The very; instant she left the snow on the. ground she found out what was: wrong. When she and Thundererl had plunged into the snow on the; ground. more snow had begun tot sift down between the treetops This was all riclii. Now the falling snow had turned in rain. It was a light rain but rain is rain. and always wet. It would wet the sur- face of the snow on the ground Then if Jack Frost came along he lwould freeze it into a hard crust It would never never do to be lcaught asleep under a crust such las Jack Frost could, and very like- lv Would, make of that wet snow. she was sale now, but what about; Thunderer? l

60 score, and his jump to game was just that, in his intention. South, however, naturally read the leap as a strong slam try, and with a

maximum notrump, was delighted to accept the invitation.

.When the dummy was spread however. after West led the Jack of diamonds, South was not nearly so pleased. He would certainly have to be ”shot with luck" to make this contract! Well .7 no sense giving up. After winning with the diamond ace, he led a low heart toward dummy and was encouraged to see West play the nine. Dummy's ten lost to East, who huddled and then shifted to a low club.

South was sure that Ea;t would not have led away from the club king, so he put up the ace, then led another low heart toward dummy. He was highly gratified to drop West's king. Now he tested the spade finesse by leading the jack. East ducked. and the ten followed. This time East covered. and when West's nine fell. declarer was as- sured of four spade tricks.

South went back to dummy with a spade and finessed against East's marked eight of hearts. He then cashed ht: own last spade and last heart - and West was squeezed! Forced to hold the club king

against du.mmy's queen, he could not keep his diamond orotection, and South won the fulfilling trick with dummyis fourth diamond.
