Roddy Fox and Mrs, Roddy had left the Old Pasture just before daylight. They were going in search of a breakfast, and they had quite a long way to go. They were going to try to get a fat Hen, and they were. going to a distant farm to do it.

"If we get into any trouble the farther away from home we are the better," said Reddy, and Mrs. Roddy agreed,

II was just break of day when :hey reached the farm where they aoped to get that fat Hen. They mew blmt there would be no uhance or getting a Hen until veil ai'Ivr daylight.

They had made it their busineu to know all about all the terms for a long distance around, and the habits of the people who lived on them .'I'hey had known or this ta.rm tow a. long time, and that there mu no Dog there. This was one reason they had chosen this farm for their morning visit.

A: every one knows, more are no snartar folk in fur and isomers than Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy. They are sly, but that is nothing against them; for "they have to be sly in order to live. They planned very careiully just how they would catch the fat Hen they wanted, and what they would do after she was caught.

In "their minds they were not stealing. or trying to steal. To them, those Hens were simply big binds to which they had just as much right as they had to any other or the feathered folk. like Bob White, Thunderer the Grouse and Mrs, Quack. They could see no wrong whatever in what they were

By the time jolly, round, brigiht Mr. Sum started his daily climb up in the blue, blue sky. Reddy was hidden behind an old stone wall, and Mrs. Roddy was hidden be- hind some bushes on the other side of the henyard. They would stay right where they were until the Hens were let out, and began to

It was broad daylight when the door at the farmhouse opened, and the farmer came out. He went atraigiht to the barn to milk hi.s Cows. It seemed to Reddy and Mrs. Raddy that he never would appear again. When he came out of the barn, he went straight to the house.,He had gone for breakfast.

"oh well," said East (not too cheerfully) when the Iollowinz

hand was being scored, "they could .

have made six clubs."

"It would have been hard to bid six clubs over your six diamonds." South observed, and added with a grin: "Besides, we would have lost our spade honors!"

East-West were not amused!

It.is easy to see that all tour players were rather aggressive, but the bidding was tar from illogical.

West opened the diamond kinu. but East, observing -with pleasure that the heart honors in dummy lay very neatly under his own hold- ing in that suit, played the dia- mond three, demandlng a shitt. It was quite apparent to West that his partner meant a heart shift. since dummys club suit was very threatening, and so West obedient- ly led the ten of hearts.

It was quite a shock to last when declarer ruffed the heart lead, and he was more shocked when South made the dowblecl con- tract by crcnsing to dummy's club jack and returning the trump nine for 2. iinese. East's king was tran- ped,. and the rest was easy for declarer,

South's heart holding was an unknown quantity, but 11 East could get I. trump out or dum- my, the spade king would L a sure trick -- declarer could unease through it only once. Thus, instead of asking for a discontinu- anon of diamonds. East should have signalled most emphatically with the queen for another dia- mond lead that would iorce dummy to ruff. '
