Striped Chipmunk sat on his davorite stone in the top o: the old stonewall along one side or the Old Orchard, l-le was listening Someone was down among tr» bushes that grc-zv beside the old wall. Iie could hear a rustling of dry leaves on the ground. but he couldn't see who was rustling idlem. This was something to be looked into. Probably it was no one ot whom he need be afraid, but it could be. It it lives he should know it. It always is wise to know Just whom you have tor neighbors.

8o Striped Chipmunk quietly nude his way along the old wall until he reached e place where he could peep out trambetween two stones and see who was making those dly leaves rustle. It was Cresty the Flycatcher.

"So it is you." said Striped Chip- munk, hopping up in plain sight on top of the yvall.

"Yes replied Cresty “In so far es I know it is me. Have you any objections?"

"None whatever. I heard you but oouldlvt see you. I was ail-aid you might be Mr. Blacksnake. I <izon‘t like that fellow.” replied Striped Chipmunk.

"Has he been around here lately?" asked Cresty hopefully. Anyway he sounded hopeful to Striped chipmunk.

"I haven't seen him so iar this spring, ad I don't want to see llllm. Striped Clllipmunk spoke sharply. There was no doubt ‘what- ever that he meant just what The sold.

Cresty looked disappointed. He was disappointed. "Then I guess lhe hasn't been here." he sighed, then added: "You probably would know if it he had. He likes an old stone wall. Have you seen any o! his cousins, the Green snakes. line Garter Snakes, the Milk Snakes, Bluffer the Adder?"

"No I haven't, and what is more I don't vuant to see any of them," Striped Chipmunk interrupted. "I don't like any ot the family. They give me an uncomfortable feeling What do you wan-t o! them?" he added. ~

Cresty didn‘t answer that ques- tion. "Of course, if they haven't Ibecn here they haven't left any- thing here. They couldnt have and I'm just wasting my time look- Lng," said Cresty.

Striped Chipmunk looked puz- lled. “What could they have left here it they had been here?" he Islted.

“One o! them could have leit his lkin here, couldn’t he?" retorted Crcsty as ii.’ he thought that ques- tion was a foolish one. Then he added: "Oi course, I mean his old skin when he changed it for a new one."

"Oh." said Striped ‘Chipmunk. "I didn't think o! that. They do leave their old skins around, don‘t they? I have found one once_ or twice."

“This year?" asked Oresty Iagcrly.

"I told you that I haven‘t seen any oi the Snake lamily this year

(By Thornton W. Burgess) I

"So it is you." said Striped Ohlp- munk, hopping up in plain sight on top o! the wall

It was last year and the year be- fore that I iound those skins. But vmat do you want o! their skins? cried Striped Chipmunk.

"I don't want more than one. A little one would do, or a piece i-i a big one like that of Mr. Black- snake." replied Cresty. “Ewen a little piece oi one would be better than none." he added.

,"But what do you want it for?" persisted Striped Chipmunk "What would Wu do with it i! you had it?”

"I would take it home end eur- prlse ms. Cresty. She would be so pleased." replied Ormty.

"But Iwhlat would she do avith it?" Striped Chipmunk was still puzzled.

“Use it in our nest u! course ‘Ihat is all it needs.” replied Cresty.

"Well, or! all thing's!’ exclaimed I-triped Chipmunk.

After much thought he then decided that his best chance for nine tricks was to finesse against the club jerk, so he led a low club from dummy and put in the ten-spot. He never recovered from that bit o1 mis- calculation! West won and laid down the heart king. Declarer wen and led the club nine to the king. East took his ace and shifted to a iow diamond, and now the best declare: could do was cash the diamond ace and the club queen for the seventh and eighth tricks. The vital ninth trick was not to be found.

Obviously, South staked his chances on e successful finesse against the club jack. How "much m0" 1081081 it would have been to try for st least two diamond tricks! Declarefs diamond boldly was such that ii either q- been the king and queen were in East's hind. successive iinosses toward the A J..l0 would produce at least two tricks. Declaror had only s 50 per cent chance to guess the club jack. but is was e 3 to l that at least one diamond honor would be under the A..J..l0.
