Biacky the Crow, ﬂying aver the Old Pasture, saw Llghtioot» the Deer bound out ‘oi the Greeni Forest where it Joins the Oldl Pasture.

"What brings him out herell And what is he running i.r on- such a Warm day as this?" mut- tered Biacky. Then he ‘added. “Oh! 5o that's it!" He had caught: sight oi the two Dogs chasingi Lightioot. None knew better than did Biaoky what that could mean, In!‘ his keen eyes miss little in the Green Forest and he ‘had seen some very sad and dread- iul things happen there when Dogs, who at home were the best of citizens, had slipped away in- to the Green Forest Ind there became outlaws.

Blacky ﬂew to the top oi a tell tree from which he could see over the Old Pasture and ‘also the Green Meadows. It was toward the latter that Lightiooi was run- ning. and that was no place for a Deer in broad daylight.

"Perhaps he is going to cut across to the Big River, thought Blacky. "I shouldn't mink he would do that unless he is so tired he feels that he must, and‘ I don't think he is. He doesn't run that way. I'm glad Dogs can't tly. What a nuisance they would be! They are a nuisance anyway to Green Forest and Green Meadows talk, they and those two - legged folks with

This would have been a.n ox- cellent sacrifice ii East - w“; could have made their vulner. able slam, but that we; not the tact. West would have had to lose a spade and a club. no mat- ter how he maneuvered. Thus, the “swirig" against North-South {or taking the unnecessary "q- riilce was s00 points. (Six apadee scarcely could have been doubled.)

Even this loss could not be fairly assesse‘ against South, tor his decision to overbid six spades, ii his position at the table had been-diiilereno It he had been the last to speak tor his side, it would have been quite reasonable for him to feel that the possible loss from letting the six-spade bid stand was far greater than the loss that would be suiiered at seven hearts. This, however, was not the issue. as tar as qouth was concerned. The crucial coins was that North was still to'be heard from! It was by no means inconceivable that one or- both oi the opponents had over. d _ . and besides. Souths void in spades suggested that North might turn up with a ttlck in uiec suit.

It is true that even ii South had PYOPPrIy passed for his part- ner's decision, North would have been none too sure of deleatlngi the adverse slam: but. in view of hi! Drobable spade trick, his dia_ mono queen, and the good one“.
