Never. had they seen anything at all like: that red thing rolling and tumbl- ing at the edge of the water. At once they were curious, and their curiosity grew, as curiosity almost. invariably does. They began swim-i ming nearer and nearer to tliep shore. They just had to know what that funny thing u as rolling andy tumbling. They swam in almost, without knowing.

but you made a mistake before you began pretending to be crazy." said Roddy.

The young Pox looked at puzzled as he felt ,and that was very puz- zled indeed. Ho tried to think what mistake he could have made. He had been very, very careful in ap- proaching the bank before he peep- ed over. He was sure those Ducks hadn't seen him there. "I suppose I must have, but I don't know what the mistake was." said he.

”You failed to see that Mrs. Quack was with the flock," said

iaeddy. ”Mr. and Mrs. Quack know

all about that trick. It is a good trick to play on those who don't know it. But it is useless to try it on those who do know it. No Fox ever will catch Mr. or Mrs. Quack with that trick. But with young Quacks it is almost always successful if no older Duck is with them."

Quack was not with them. This morning she was with them. It was she who stopped them at the edge of the bed of uild lrice. She knew all about that trick. She had seen Roddy Fox work it before in other years. She had seen other Foxes

work it. It didn't arouse her cur- iosity one bit. . Instead. it was a warning to her that that wasn't the safest place in the world for her children to be feeding. She gathered the flock around. her She told them just what that cur- ious thing on the shore was, and warned them that whenever they saw anything of that sort they should be extra wiitcliful and not too curious. Then she had led them off up the Big River to another feeding place.

"Why didn't those Ducks come in? What did I do wrong?" Little Too-Smart asked Reddy.

"You didn't do anything wrong,

THE FLEXIBLE CUE III)

For. many years. the immediate cue bid of the opponents' suit won a force to game. Experience prov- ed, however, that while such a cue bid should be rescrvccl for very strong hands, it was best to retain some flexibility. and thus in recent years most of the experts preferred to mike this bid almost forcing to game rather than absolutely so.

Let's look at a hand that caused trouble when treated on the old basis.

limit his loss lie down 500 points,

could have gone but he made a

ldespcrate effort for the contract Hind actually went down three ltricks, 800 points.

i This result was due directly to ythe iaict that, at the time the hand ywas played, North's two-diamond lcuo bid was an absolute force to ygame. Today, the bidding would istart off in the same fashion, no .doubt, but South would logically wake advantage of his privilege to pass the hand out at three spades - and it would require consider- able nerve on East's part to double that contract. Thus, under the present-day tfeatincnt. North would .achieve th twin objects of an- nouncing a huge holding and man- aging to stop at a fairly safe place

out to have a. worthless holding.

It is worth noting that the cue bid itself was justified. because game would have been well within reach of South had had as little as two jacks in suits not including diamonds.

sterlinz Waddell. Mrs. Ambrose Monaghan. Miss Elaine McQuaid; auditors. Mrs, Charles Flood, Miss Agnes Trainor. The newly-elected president conducted the business of the ineeiing.

Plans were discussed for the lioldino; of a dance in the school. in order to increase the funds of the Institute.

The December meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Joseph Kelly. Mrs. Russel Nantes and Mrs. Stephen Smith comprise the lunch committee for this meeting.
