DISOLATION

Devoid o! life the landscape liea. And even hope, despairing, dies. -Old Mother Nature.

The Red Terror, is; loose on the Great Mountain by a careless smoker, had swept through the woods around the ponds of Paddy the Beaver. the hungry ﬂames de- vouring all that was beautiful, use- ful or in any way to be desired around those ponds. It had left no living thing that it could reach. A few o! the woodland folk, a very few, had reached Paddy's biggest pond and found safety in the water. But many were too small and too weak or too slow to get there in time, These had been overtaken by the Red Terror and when it had swept on they, like

There were other folks in and around that pond who had found refuge there from the Red Ter- ror. All, big and little alike, had reason to be grateful to the beavers for making that pond.

But none of them, big or little gave so much as a single thought to Paddy and Mrs, Paddy. They were thinking only of themselves. They had escaped the Red Ter- ror. but like the countless dis- placed persons since the great war they had lost their homes and knew not where to go. That is s very dreadful feeling because of its hopelessness. In a different way it is as bad as, ii not worse than, the fright when in great danger.

South's free rebid was not just- ified.

West, wanting to maintain his ‘heart position, opened the spade jack. (Observe that a heart lead iwould have given deciarer two heart tricks, since dummys ten ,wou.ld have held the first trick.) ~Dummy ducked. East signalled with the seven-spot. and South ,won. The ace of clubs was cashed and a low club was led toward dummy. West's jack was picked up, yand the club ten was then taken Iby East's queen, West discarding a spade. East returned the heart eight. Declare? played the queen, and West. instead of winning, sig- nalled his liking for hearts by playing the nine-spot. Bouth led to the spade king, cashed the good club and led a diamond. ,

1f East hsd automatically played "seoond-hand-dow," South would have put in the eight, nine or ten. ‘and West would have had to be second-sighted to win with the ace end return the jack. Undoubtedly, on the bidding, West would have won with the jack and returned the ace and jack of hearts, keep- ing his diamond ace for entry. This sequence. however. would have given declarer seven tricks — two spades, two hearts and three clubs. But East did not put the burden of ciairvoyanoe on West. Realizing that West must hold the diamond ace to Justify his takeout double. East put up the diamond king, second hand, cashed the spade queen, and returned his remaining heart. South won no more tricks end the 50-point penalty eamed by the defenders gave them top on the board. l
