l-l'L ABNER

It very often hhppene so. —0ld Mother Nature.

Snow. rain and Jack Frost had made the Green Forest very beauti- ful to see but very dreadful for most of the hungry iolks who lived there. A thick. ice crust covered the snow on the ground. Every twig of every tree and bush was coated with ice. The trunks oi the trees were so smooth arid slippery that even such sharp claws as those oi Chatterer the Red Squirrel slipped too much tor him to climii. Thus it was that most of the hungry folk there grow hungricr and hungrier and hungrer, for Jack Frost had locked up most of the food they so sorely needed. Nothing is worse than growing hungrier and hun- grier and iiungrler and be unable to get anything to eat.

way with Reddy Fox over in l-hl muiiied sound. peck, peck. Deck- peck. Stepping softly‘. making no sound, he had crept over to where that pecking seemed to be. Now it was under his very nose. and he knew that in the snow beneath the crust was a Grouse. What a dinner for a hungry Fox! Thew it was within an inch of his nose and he couldnt have it. That Grouse couldn't peck through the

One thing can be said for South 1n this auction-he was persistent! Unfortunately, however, that was not a virtue in this particular deal! The club break was insurmount- able, and to the accompaniment o! loud laments on South's part (over that same club break), the con- tract went. down one.

Although the division oi clubs was highly unfavorable, South did not have a legitimate complaint about his luck. He and his partner had been favored with a tremend- ous preponderance of the cards. and all they had to do was reach the right contract. '

Under many circumstances it

would be correct ior South to keep rebiddlng a seven-card suit. headed by A-K-J, but in this instance his slngle-lnindedness was quits un- justified. North heard the three- club takeout and the four-club re- bid-he would not be reluctant to raise such an obviously powerful suit, if he had even two low cards in support! Actually, however. North conveyed the strongest eort of warning against clubsl He not only rebid his spades, but then mentioned a second suit, hearts, at the four-level. Surely, this was a warning that South could ignore only at his peril! The plain fact of the matter was that North might ' well have turned up void of South's long suit! Having twice hid clubs — once as a Jump response — South should have supported the rebid spade suit It is very doubtful that the partners could have logically reach- ed the grand slam that was there at a spade contract. but even a small slam in the right suit.would have been a decided improvement.

thick, hard crust from below, and he couldn't break through it irom above. It was enough to drive a Fox crazy.

Roddy knew Just what had hap- pened. When snow on the ground- is deep enough and light enough Grouse often spend the night buried n t. They plunge down into it and then work along for a little way from where they had plunged in. squatting close to the ground there under the snow, they spend the night, warm, comfort- able and. usually safe. 'I'i1e keenest nose cannot smell them out through the snow. They especially like in do this when more enow ls failing, ior it fills up the places where they lunged in. The only danger is that while they are asleep there may be rain that Jack Frost turns to ice, forming a crust over them. Ii that crust is too thick for them to break through they are trapped. It had hap- pened thls time. Reddy had known it to happen before. After such a crust had melted he had found Grouse who had been so trapped and had starved to death.

The sound just under him had stopped. Could it be that that Grouse had somehow suspected that he was there waiting? He was sure he had made no sound at all. not so much as a tiny scratch by a toenail. 1i there was one Grouse down in the snow lt was probable that others were there, perhaps three or four. There had been a

jGreen Forest. He had heard a

small flock in that neighborhood, the children, now fully grown. oi old Thlilidefei" andﬂhilrsrﬂrouse, who for so long had been too smart for Raddy or any one else to catch. Could it be that they had at last been trapped? That it was one of them down beneath him? He doubted it. They were too wise through long experience .to have gone to bed in the snow.

The pecking began ggalrl. This time it wasn't directly beneath him‘ but was a little way to one side. He moved over there until again there was a Grouse under his very nose. Then he heard still another. It was a. little farther away in another direction. Look- ing this way and that over the smooth surface, Raddy saw m” places where the smooth surface was not quite level, as ii hollow; 1n the enow had been partly ililed beiore the surface was frozen.

Reddy grinned. It was a rueiul, sour sort oi grin. "Three." said he. “Those are the places where they went into the snow. Now they are trying to m out."

He lllddeﬂly began to scratch at'the ice furiously with his toe- nails. but it was useless .It merely made his toes sore. and he soon Stopped. And the Grouse, hearing that. scratching, stopped pggklni On that hateful crust Reddy Fox W55 , Blowing desperate with hunger. Below it three young Grouse were also growing desper- ate with hunger. And there was nothing, nothing at all, that, gny of them could do about it.
