the tree belonged to Rediail the Hawk and Mrs. Redtail. The one On thegmund st thefootuf the tree belonged to Mrs. Grouse. so it was that Mrs. Grouse and the Redtails were neighbors. Nowhere else in all the Green Forest would more unlike neighbors be found. You see. those Hawks were meat eaters. as all Hawks are. and there could be no dinner they would like better than a dinner of Grouse.

bar: so near together. or course you wouldn't. None at the other people in the Green Forest would expect it either. That is just why Mrs. Grouse had 'cnosen to make her nest under that particular tree. She had been very sure of herself. she had been very sure that if she were careful she could go and come without ever being seen by either of her neighbors up above. In the first place they would

,not be looking 'for anybody I right under their own home. No one else would he look-

ing for an one there either. In fact, most of the Green Forest folk would be keeping away from the neighborhood of those big Hawks, The smaller folk would be

keeping away because they would

be afraid. The bigger folk, who

had no reason to be afraid. would

keep away because there was noth- ing to draw them there,

Mrs. Grouse built her nest in a slight hollow at the foot of the tree without anyone knowing any- thing about it. In that nest she

llaid ten eggs. When lhe last egg

had been laid she began sitting on them. Those eggs would have to be kept warm for almost four Weeks. and it would be Mrs. Grouse who would have to keep them

Grouse is of no help in this matter. and that is one reason Mrs. Grouse had kept that nest a secret from him.

The cloak of Mrs. Grouse was so the color of the brown leaves whch surrounded her nest that when she sat on it covering those precious eggs. she didn't look. like a. bird at all. She looked to be a part of her surroundings. As long as she did not move there was al- most no chance at all that she would be seen. The brightest eyes might look straight at her, yet not see her

She was very careful when she left the nest in go look for food. The very first thing she did was to make sure that neither of her neighbors up above would be likely When she left the nest she covered the eggs with brown leaves. then slipped away without so much as rustling a leaf. All the time she kept under cover as much as poxible until she was well away from the nest. When

she returned, it was in this same careful manner.

West's opening lead was .the queen of spades. South won, cashed the heart ace, then crossed to du.mmy's diamond ace and re- turned a trump, finessing the jack. West took the trick and. not im- pressed by the fact that his adver- sary had led trumps. continued with a third round to knock out d1rmmy's last trump.

Declarer soon found out that he could not run the club suit without loss, and Lilo upshot was that he surrendered four tricks - one in each suit.

As a matter of fact, South could well afford to lay down the ace End kins of trumps from his own hand. Then. leaving the trump queen at large, he could simply cash the three top clubs and, at need, ruff his own fourth club in dummy.

The contract also could have been made without difficulty 1! South had taken a. first- round trump finmse. New West could remove only one more trump from dummy. and again south could go through the club-cashing plan. playing for either a 3-3 club break or for the chance that tho de- fender holding the mixing trump alsoi had four clubs.
