But don't be too sorry for hard- working Mrs. Hummer. There 15 work. even hard work. that 15 I nevor-ending joy. And that is vhe kind of work that mothers know. This is especially true or many bird mothers. Baiby birds must have .1 great deal of food every day. Often they need more than their own weight in food. and every bit of that food must be hunted for and often has to be caught. This is why bird mothers must work so hard.

It was quite by accident that Welcome Robin discovered little Mrs. Hun-imer's home on a slen- der branoh or a maple tree. He happened to alight on that branch close to the dainty little nest and was greeted by two tiny open mouths begging for food. A mom- ent: later little Mrs. Hummer ar-

She paid no attention to Wel- come Robin. She had come home to feed those babies and while she did Welcome Robin looked on in wide-eyed astonishment. He was shocked by what he saw. Yes. sir. Welcome Robin was shocked. Never before had he seen babies fed in quite this manner. Little Mrs. Hummer stood over one 0! thse wee birds and thrust her long needle-like bill in that open mouth and down the thmat 0! U15 hungry little birdlling. She did it so quickly that it looked as it she were stabbing him. It looked for all the world as if she were try- ing to stab that lom-I bi” Tlltlllt down through him. It. gave Welr come Robin a (nicer feeling. Yes. sir, it gave him a very queer i:.:l- ing. Had you been in his place it would. I am sure, have given you a queer leeling. n shlvery sort of feeling.

”Oh!" cried ”Don't do that!"

Little Mrs. Hummer withdrew her long bill from that throat and looked up at. Welcome Robin. "1 would like to know why not?” she squcaked shat-ply. Like so very many other small people. Shc squeaks Cvhen she talks.

”Are you trying to kill one of your own bnbies?" demanded We!- come Robin.

"No. I'm not doing anything of the kind. I'm trying to keep them alive, not kill. them. I'm feeding them if you must know."

Witlhout waiting for Welcome iilobin to reply she thrust her bill into the other wide open mouth and down the little throat and once more Welcome Robin had that uncomllortaible shivery feel- ing. He was still shocked. He shook his head. "I've never seen babies (ed that way before," said he. ”How else should I feed them'.''' squenked little Mrs. Hummer.

Soullh's second-round jump to three spadcs was I bad bid. True, he had a good suit, but it was only five cards long, and South had values in two other suits. heart: and diamonds. wihich Iihe spade jump virtually denied. Two notrumip would have been 1 sub- sbarrtially better call at this point. and three notrump a aubstantlnlly better contract.

However, South should hwc done well enough at. his acnull four-spade contract. West opened the five of diamonds. East put. up the are and, correctly concluding that the situation was desperate, shifted to his jack of clubs.

Doelarer should have had no doubt that this was 1 singleton return on East's Part. and indeed, Soutlh probably did read the club situation accurately. But his me- t-hod of countering the club men- ace left 9. great deal to be desired! After cashing diummy's spade jack. South led a diamond from the board. West won with the king and promptly gave his partner a ruff in clubs for the third defen- sive trick.

Now, all East had to do was to return to the heart king, to kill the dummy, but he unthinkingly led a low heart, and South made a full recovery by putting up the heart queen and drawing trumps.

South did not need this hcl-p from the enemy. He should have overtaken duinmys spade jack with the queen and "banged out." three more rounds of trumps.
