Between two quite tall stakes was stretched a string. It was a stout cord, and it was stretched tight. Mid-way betweeni the two stakes another piece of string had been tried to it and at the other. end or mks piece or string dangled a peanut in the shell. A Merry Little Breeze dancing along that way made the peanut swing back and iorth. l

On the ground beneath it sat Striped Chipmunk. He wanted that peanut. It seemed to him that never in all his life had he ever wanted anything more than he wanted that peanut. So far he hadn't been able to get it. When

was still out of reach. He had tried jumping Io: it and he just couldn't get hold oi it. Now he was studying to find 9. way. He wasn't going to give up. He isn't the giving-up kind. Thrllty people are not the giving-up kind, and striped Chip- munk is thrifty. You know he be- longs to the Squirrel family, and thrift is a tamily habit.

Striped Chipmunk was being tested. He didn't know it, but he was being tested to find out how smart he really was. Watching from a kitchen window were Farmer Brown's Boy and Mother Brown.

"I think it is a shame," said Mother Brown severely. '

The eyes of Farmer Brown's Boy twlnkied. "What do you think is a shame?" he asked.

"I think it a shame to tease that poor little fellow so. You know

There it is almost within reach, yet out or reach. I've halt a mind to go to the door and toss him a peanut." Mother Brown was in- dtgnllnt.

"I guess you've iorgottcn what you have said to me so many times." said Farmer Brown's Boy and his eyes twinkled more than ever.

"What have I said to you?" his Mother wanted to know.

"Where there's a will there's a way," said Farmer Brown's Boy. and his Ireckled iace broke into a broad smile. .

Mother Brown smiled back. Then she looked'over at Striped Chip- munk again and saw the longing in his bright eyes as he looked up at that peanut, so near and yet so isr. Her-smile vanished.

"Tommy," said she, "you know very well that little fellow can- not get that nut. '. think it is cruel to tease him so."

Tommy shook his head, "I don't know that," said he. "I don't know that he can't get that nut. II I did know it I wouldn't tease him, I'm just trying to find out

how smart a Chipmunk can be.l

There is a way by which he can get that peanut, and I am won- dering ii he is smart enough to iind that way." Just then lmriped Chipmunk "darted over to one oi the tail stakes. He climbed it to the top.

;step. He took another. Not for no- ilhing had he climbed about on slender limbs of bushes. , "The tight-rope walker!" chuckl- ed Fiirmer Brown's Boy. "What good is that going to do

there." replied Tommy. Slowly, carefully, Striped Chip- lmunk walked out along that string.

moved out along that string until he reached the middle where was tied the string from which the peanut was hanging. What would he do now? He couldn't possibly climb down that string to the pea- nut. What could he do?

3y Josephine Clubertson & l CHOOSING THE TRUMP

As a rule, when partners dis-

cover the presencc oi a. fitting !our- card major suit, their search tor the right contract is over - that is it, at some level or other. For example. four hearts to the ace in one hand, opposite four to the K-Q, usually provide it better trump suit than live hearts . opposite three. with thg same honor cards. . The 4-4 trump-suit theory is even more productive at duplicate bridge. when Illa suit is a. major and can be selected instead or a 5-4 minor. But even at match-points this principle should not always be followed. Here, for example, is one of the exceptions:

This deal occurred in an eight- table duplicate, and in live cases this was the bidding:

In no case was the contract ful- filled. The usual opening lead by West was the club ace, and al-

not ruff two more clubs while lmaintaiiiing rigid control on all fronts, and when they led a diamond for the dual purpose oi lcstablishing the suit and gaining entry to the closed hand. West piompilv returned a diamond tor his partner to ruff. (Obviously, it the trumps had been drawn to stop .thls ruff, South would have been left with one or two losing clubs.) Contrast this result with the easy lplay ior a six-diamond contract, :?ll1d it appears that the various
