There had been peace in the Green Forest for a long time. iluntcrs with dreadful guns were no longer looking for Thunderer the Grouse and Mrs. Grouse, or for Lightfoot the Deer and the members of his family. The hunt- ing season was over for most not the people in the Green Forest. Only a few, like Roddy Fox and Mrs. Raddy, had anything to fear from dreadful guns. So far, the snow had not been deep enough in make Deer folk yard up, as it is called when they trample .1 lot of paths in ii place they can get food enough, and there stay v-h;le the snow around them is

too deep for them.

There were only three natural enemies whom the Lightfoots had any cause to fear. There were Puma the Mountain Lion, who sometimes came down from the Great Mountain to hunt in the Green Forest. Tufty the Lynx, and his cousin Yowle-r the Bobcat. Buster Bear was asleep, so there was nothing to fear from him. M-rs. Lightfoot knew all the places where the other hunters were most likely to be. and as head of the family. she kept the twins, now well grown young deer. in those parts of the Green Forest seldom if ever visited by any of those three. Of course, where the family went, Lightfoot went too. but no one paid any attention to him.

It was a time of oer". er" M. I

of happiness for the Deer folk. Peace nearly always in...... piness. There can be no true hap- piness without peace.This is why

all the world needs most is peace. Without it, there can be, nothing but fear and sorrow and constant worry. So. because it was a time of peace. Mrs. Lizhtfoot did little worrying. The twins didn't worry at all. While they were nqw big enough to feel very sure of them- selves, and that they were quite equal to taking care of them- selves, they really knew very little of the Great World and its dan- gers. -

It was very peaceful this morn-

THE SAFETY-PI:AY-FINESSE

when it comes to finesse, the average player is apt to get his logic directly reversed, i. e.. he takes countless finesses he shouldn't take, and avoids others which are actually safety plays! lLet's look at a. deal:

West opened the club queen - which was fortunate for the dec- larer it he had only known it. Winning with the blank ace, South led two rounds of trurn-ps. then led a low heart to theiace and R. second heart back to his own king. He muttered darkly a- bout his bad luck in failing to catch the heart queen. but, with- holding final judgment on the Goddess of Chance. he tried the diamond finesse, which was now

in: over there in the Green For- est. It was very still. Mrs. Light- foot had led the way to 9. fav- orite thicket. There in happy con- tenment she and the twins were lying down chewing their cuds. as you have seen Cows chew- ing their cuds. In the same thicket. and quite near, Lightfoot was doing the same thing.

"It is good not to have a thing to worry about,” said Mrs. Light- foot

”Ilm glad you feel that way," replied Lightfoot. ”DOn't you?" asked,Mrs. Light-

foot. .

"Yes and no." replied Lightfoot. "Just supposing I don't get a new set of antlers."

”I'm not going to suppose any- thing of the kind," retorted Mrs. Lightfoot. "I haven't any ant- lers, and never have had, yet I get along all right."

"”You're different." grunted Llghitfoot. "And how I" exclaimed Mrs.

Lightfoot. Then she added. "Thank goodness!"

Lightfoot said nothing. He gruntcd. It was just then that they heard a sound which caused Lightfoot and Mrs. Lightfoot and even the twins to spread their big ears wide open and listen. At first the sound was not re- Deabei They all heard Chatterer the Red Squirrel scolding not far aWliy- 'They heard Sammy Jay Screaming. "Thief. thief. thief!"

vital. When East captured the diamond queen, South delivered some choice comments.

South's temiper as well as his financial status would have been greatly improved if he had used the correct technique of play. After draw-irh trumps, ending in durmmy, South's first move should be, to ruff away dum-my's re- maining club. Then he should cash the king of hearts and, witIh,both defenders following suit. should lead a low heart and finesse on the board. This finesse would be a hguaranteed" safety play! Consider: If Lhe'finesse suc- ceeded. South would obviously be on the home stretch: and if it failed. with East winning the sec- ond heart lead. East would now be ”end-rplayed." His diamond re- turn would go up to dummy's IYIEJOT tenace. and a club return W01-'1? Rive South the chance to ruff in his own hand and discard the diamond queen from dummy.
