'lIy Thornton W. , . OLD MR. TOAD'S SPRING WOR- lur i

1 Joy is spirit of the spring, But may also worries bring.

-Old Mr. Toad.

old Mr. Toad loves the spring. But who doesn't? For him and for so many others it is the most joyous time of the whole year. Spring is the season of song. and homely Old Mr. Toad dearly loves to sing. Yes, sir, he dearly loves to sing. No feather- ed songster delights in singing more than does this humble, homely, bow- legged. popeyed, big-mouthed. warty Old Mr. Toad.

Old Mr. Toad was in the Shilling Pool. He had spent the winter buri- ed in Fanner Brown's garden. He had buried himself there. He had selectzd the place carefully in the fall. a place where the soil was dug down, doing the digging with his hind feet. This is something few folks can do. it is rather remarkable when you think of it. But Old Mr. Toad is rather remarkable in many ways though you would never guess it just to look at him. As he had dug he had hacked in. As he din so the earth fell in on top of him. So he had buried himself and there he had slept through the winter safe from enemies and jack Frost. He hadnlt even known when Jack Frost came or when he went,

But Old Mr. Toad would tell you that Farmer Browns garden is no place for a Toad to sing. While he can sing out of water he doesn't want to. He wants to be in the water

south said later that he had not liked to bid two notrump -with a sing- leton in'his partner's suit. but he had far too much for a Plus over two clubs, and two notrump seemed the best choice possible.

West led his top spade. East put up the ace, studied the dummy, and then shifted to the king of hearts. Irhis. of course. was sound analysis on East's part. He had the danger- ous club suit stpoped. and if he could remove dummyis outside en- try. he would probably strike the best possible blow for his side.

Perhaps south was afraid that if he let East hold the trick with the heart king, he would shift to diamonds; or perhaps south simply failed to think! At any rate he took the heart king with the ace. and hopefully cashed the top clubs. when the club distribution came to light. he tried I heart finesse to his own ten. but that also went wrong, and the contract was doomed.

It is obvious that south should have conceded the trick to East's heart king. to keep the outside entry for dum.my's long clubs. (After all. the missing six clubs did not "figure" to break 3-3.) If East led another heart. south could put up the queen; and it must shifted to diamonds. South could establish that suit without great difficulty. -

Old Mr. Toad was in the smiling Pool. gg.,g,,g,aa..:....-M...

when he sings. And because he was born in the smiling Pool that is where he goes in the spring to sing There are many singers. in the smil- ing Pool but none with a sweeter voice than that of old Mr. Toad. There is joy in his sweet notes, the joy of spring. but there is more than joy; there is love. old Mr. Todd's song is It love song. It is sung for just one person and that one is Mrs. Toad.

A place where folks who love each other meet is called a try-SUD! P1”?- The Smiling Pool is the trystiug place for Old Mr. Toad and Mrs. Toad in the spring. and for many others.

When old Mr. Toad had dug his way up and out into the sunshine in Farmer Brown's garden he had heard at once the great chorus at his many small cousins. the Hyias. already singing in the Smiling Pool.

"That is where I should be this very minute. I hope I'm not late. 1

gets there." said he to himself. He blew out the music bag in his throat just enouwh to make sure it was all right. trying it out. when he was sure that the stillness. if there was any. was -wholly out of his iezs utter his long winter sleep. he start- ed for the smiling Pool. hop. hop. hlbbity-hop.

For you or tor me the distance from Farmer Browns garden to the Smiling Pool wouldn't seem much. just a nice walk. But to such a small person as Old Mr. Toad. one who must on every foot of the way 110i)- hop, hippitv-hop. it. is a long and dangerous journev. Olri Mr. Ton-l couldn't sit up like Deter Rabb-t every few hops to look all around for danger. He had to trust in sand fortune no .enemy would spy him. or other danger suddenly appear. All he could do was to go hop. hop. hlpbity-hop. hon. hop. hippity-hnp until his legs achcd. then squat 919,58 to the ground -with his legs drawn nartly under him and trv in look like a little lump of earth while he rested.

Nothing happened. The lirelt chorus of Peeoer the Hyia and his friends grew louder and louder. By that he knew that he was zettini nearer and nearer to the Smiling Pool Then at lontz last there was the smiling Pool right before him. the place where as a very small black pollywoez or tadpole he had wigtzled a long tall as he swam about. or hid in .the mud. in the days before he left the water to find a place for himself on land.

With a final hop he was in the water. It was cold, but he didnt mind. With I few kicks he swam out 9. little way. Then he floated and blew out the music bag in his throat until it was as big as his whole head. Joyfuilv he began ta sing. At the same time he began to worrv. Had Mrs. Toad reached the smllinn Pool yet? Would she be able to hear him singing to her with so manv others simzlmi Would she know his song was just for her?
