The flock of Blscky trhe Orovri Imnetimea is called the black ganml Ihjg jg pin-tl-y because the members no dressed in black. and I suspect. it is partly because Crows do at limes get into mischief, just as range of boys sometimes do, Any-l my, the Crow folk have the true! rang spirit. the spirit that binds. bhe-m together. and leads them to: Help eadh other in lime of trouble!

Blacky had chanced to find a.'

young member of the guns in 8'"-int trouble. The young one had been shot and wounded so that he could not fly. Blacky had found him in a. lone cedar tree in u lonesome part of the Green Forest. He had given the young crow his own breakfast.

”I'm not nary," said the youna crow, and e waanlt hungry, He was feeling too miseraible to be hun8T)'. Never-theles. Bladcy left the food for him. then went to get his own breahtast.

when Blaoky returned, he brought Mrs. Blacky Wl'i'l1 him. They talked things over. Then Blnclcy flew to the tom of p, dis- tnnt. pine tree and began to caw. He was calling the gang together. They came flying from all direc- tions. Blaoky told them what had happened. He told them where the young Crow was, and that he couldn't fly which meani: that he

"It means that the rest of us will have to see that he gets enough to eat.” At once then: was grave nod- ding or all black heads, '0! course!” said one miter another.

T00 EASY Truly fine bridge players will make many hands that seem im- possible; their Achlllev heel, it they have one. is apt in be hand: that look so easy that no skill or, care is necxsary. In short, such hnnds as the following:

was one or more on watch in the neighborhood. The young Cmvw was never allowed to feel that he was all alone. lie was never allowed to go hungry. Every da)'- food was brought to him. Under such treat- ment he began to feel better. The wounded wing began to heal. At first, it had drooped badly, Little by little, a little more each day. he was nble to lift the wing just a wee bit. At least it was back in place; it no longer drooped. Fm- exercise. the young Crow hopped about in the tree, and at last. dam) in the around. There he could walk about, and hunt for any food there might be in the neigh- lborhond. When he was tired. he went baok to the cedar tree, and hopped up from limb to limb until he was at his favorite roost.

One day he looked down and saw Yowler the Bobcat on the ground. Yowler had not yet seen him, But what if Yo-wler should look up?

owler is a good climber, a very good climber. The young Crow held his breath: terror filled him. If that big Cat should climb that tree there would be no escape. The young Crow knew this. Only by uflight could he hope to exoape should Yowler discover him, and he couldnt' fly,

Yowler was looking and listen- ing. There was a sudden rustle of dry leaves black of R thicket of young trees. Insltanily, Yowler was all attention. For A moment he listened. then he began to steal around that thicket. moving silent- ly and carefully. He disappeared around the end nf that thicket. A moment later, up from back of that thicket flew one of the gang. ”CilWl Oalwl Cowl" he shrieked at Yowlcr. Yowler looked up at him and snarled. and then disappeared.

"Did you rustle those leaves purpnsely?" asked the young Crow.

" Of course," replied the other.

west opened the queen of spades. Delcarer took one pleased glmce at the board, saw that he would have either of two suits. diamonds or clubs, to work with. and prompt- ly Laid down the ace and king of clubs to test thalz suit, when West failed, discarding a low diamond, Soutah had no choice but to go alter the diamond suit, but since the missing king and jack were oil-side, this plan also came to grief. Before South could establish and cash extra club or diamond tricks, East had knocked out de- c1urer's second spade stopper.

It is fair to say that many ex- cellent. players would go astray just as south did in this case. be- cause they would not take the time to figure out the precise "percent- ages" involved. If they did, they would reach the following con- clusion:

The line of play which will take care of all contingencies that can be covered is to lay down only one top club, then lead a.dinmond to the ace, then return a club from dummy. It East follows suit to the second club. declarer can assure himself or four tircks in the suit by playing low from his own hand (if East. has also played low): and if. by chance it is West who has ifour clubs with both honors, the fact. is revealed by East's showing out. In that case. of course. de- clnrer puts up his high club and shifts back to diamonds. He will then succeed in establishing the diamond suit if the honors are divided between the defenders. He may have to make a good gums in the diamond suit under certain circumstances, but at least he will have given himsel! the greatest possible chance.

"I had to do something to lead

him away. He might have caught you if I hadn't."
