Mrs- Grouse led the way to the darkest. most lonesome part of the Green Froest. The evergreen trees. such as spruces and hem- locks grew so close together there that it was always dark under them. The sunheams just couldn't get through to the ground. it was gloomy there. Yes. sir. it was gloomy there. The young Grouse had never been there before and he didn't like being there now.

Mother led the way to where the trees did not grow quite so close together. Where they grew closest there were no limbs until near the

At this particular place the trees did not grow so near togethe and there was room for the limbs to grow all the way up and down CDO trunks. One tree. a big one standing a little by itself, had branches growing almost to the ground. Mrs. Grouse hopped up ol the lowest branch. then to the next one. and so on until she was several feet above the ground. "Come on!" she clucked to the young Grouse hesitating at the foot of the tree. That first jump In to the lowest branch was quite a jump but the young Grouse made It. Then it was easy to hop from branch to branch and he was soon bulda his mother.

body. At times the colors change. so as to appear black and silver instead of blue and gold. The lower part of the body is shaded with yellow.

Then there's the ”head and tail light" found in the Amazon River. The body of the Head and Tail Light is almost transparent. These curious little creatures grow to a length of about one and one-half inches.

A spot in the upper half of the eye and anothe near the base of the tail reflect the light and shine like two little red lanterns. mak- ing this fish one of the most inter- esting citlzens of the deep.

Remember always to wet your hands before touching any live fish which you would take home and keep alive. Why? Because the tiny scales are delicate and so sticky that some of them are sure to be pulled off. And the loss of even a scales will often result in the death of a fish.

Declarer now drew trumps and ruffed another heart. but when the ace failed to appear he had to rely on the spade finesse. Needlessg 00 my he waa'an unhappy player. when that finesse failed and he was down one. i

South should have given a littlc' more thought to the situation. With the heart ace marked offside by the opening lead. it was very un- wise to put all his trust in the favourable position of the spade king. particularly since a much better chance was there for the taking. The layout of the North- South hands fairly begged tori dummy-reversal treatment. After niffing a heart at Trick 2. South should have led a trump to the ten, ruffed a second heart, than gone back to the trump jack and ruffed dummy's last heart with his own last trump- Now. with the outstanding trumps breaking nor- mally. 3-2, it would be elementary to return to dummy with a club and cash the trump queen. draw- ing the last adverse trump while discarding the spade five from the closed hand; and then the rest of the club suit and the spade ace would wind up the matter.
