Some things when fully understood Will prove to be both bad and good. —Old Mother Nature.
Roddy Fox stood at the edge of the Old Pasture, looking over to the Green Forest. 1t wasn't green now, but white and crystal and silver. At the touch o! the early morning sunbeams it aeemed as if a million little Jewels flamed and sparkled. The Green Forest was very lovely this morning.
It is doubtful if Roddy sew any loveliness whatever. He wasn't ithlnking about loveliness. He was |tiiinking about his stomach, what ihe mitzht possibly find to put in it and ufiere to look for this. He looked over to the dear Old Briar- patch end shook his head. Peter Rabbit wouldn't he likely to even poke his wabbly little nose out- side today and in under those brambles and brlers he was per» fectly safe, and knew it.
He looked all over the smooth glittering. snow-crusted Green Meadows. and again siook his head. There were Mice, plenty of them, down under that giistering crust. but they were as szife from

West, convinced that a heart lead would be futile, tried the "sur- prise attack" oi a diamond. leading the three-spot. it had a. remark- able outcome! Bouth immediately concluded that West must have the diamond king. for his bid, and therefore allowed the lead to come up to his own diamond queen. l-le was shocked when East produced the diamond king and promptly returned the heart ten.
It will be observed that South could have played the heart seven on this trick with telling efleot, since East had no more hearts to lead, and since West could not overtake the ten-spot to any good purpose. South, however. was prob- ably panicked, and for no discern- ible reason. covered the ten with ithe jack. This gave West an ex- iceilerit opportunity to utablish his heart suit while retaining control of spades, and the contract was defeated four tricks!

South's first mistake was, of course. in fineaslng the opening We are now settled in our new store, and are in a posi- laiid- ‘II spade we We! Well
marked ith West. for his vulner- able two-heart overcail; thus, South could put up the diamond ace and clear the spade suit while keeping full control of the hand. If West, upon taking his spade ace, shifted to s. high heart, South could simply duck. and he would then have plenty of time to set up a. second diamond trick to round out the contract. Contrariwise. if West led another diamond, that would establish South's ninth trick on the spot.
As for covering East's heart ten --wei.l, South might have consider- ed the strong possibility that West

He looked vérlto the dear Old Briar-patch and shook his head
him there as if he didn't exist. Reddy sighed and headed for the Green Forest, walking and run- ning on the crust. It was so thick so hard. that only one many times as heavy as Roddy Fox could have broken through it. .It was so strong that Farmer Browns boy could walk and slide on it.
Ari empty stomach sharpens eyes and ears and wits. Reddyis stom- ach had been empty since before the storm. so long that lie could think of nothing but how iiungry he was. He hoped that he might surprise Jumper the Hare undoi- one of those snow-bent bouslis that made wonderful hiding places beneath all the evergreen trees. Ho would look into every one of those little snow caves. Be wouldn't pass one carelessly Jumper would have to be surprised and caught before he could leap out and take to his long heels, for he could travel faster on that crust than Reddy could.
Perhaps Whltefoot the Wood Mouse wouldnt have been locked in by Jack Frost and would he out. Chatterer the Red Squirrel might venture down from his home in a hollow in a tree, not expect- ing any hunters to be around so soon after the storm. And there was just e chance that Thunderer the Grouse and Mrs. Grouse might be out. Any one of where, even little WI ltefoot, would relieve him of that terribly empty feeling.
so Reddy moved slowly. care- tully. looking, smelling, listening. And all the time his stomach felt emntier and emDtier. Oi course it wasnt, for nothing can be emp- tier than empty. For a long time he saw no one, smelled no one, heard no one. It seemed to him that he must be the only living person in all the Green Forest. It was so still that a tiny icicle fall- ing from a twig to the hard, icy crust startled liim.
It was a few minutes later that his quick ears picked up a differ- ent sound. He stopped, with one black forefoot lifted. It was very faint. so faint that ears less keen than his would not have heard it. He waited, his black, pointed ears set to catch that sound should it be repeated. Just as he was about giving up hope of hearing it again. he did hear it. It was as faint as before, but there was no mistakinir it. It was a smothered tapping.
Roddy moved forward quickly stepping lightly so as to make no sound on the crust. Two or three times he stopped to listen. Each time the sound was a little louder. but it still seemed smothered. Prer- entiy he was near enough to know exactly where it was coming from. It was coming from down in the arrow. Borne one was tapping from ‘underneath on that hard crust.
“Ctrousel” thought Roddy. "They buried themselves in the snow be- fore the rain. and then Jack Frost came along and locked them in. Now they are trying to peck their way out and can't. I won- der how many there are. They are in e. bad way. for they are locked in and can't get out." He grinned rueluily as he added. "And I'm locked out and can't get in. I can't break through this crust. feat. yet perfectly safe for the present. I have a wonderful din- ner under my vary nose and can't touch it." He grinned again, and the grin was more ruefui than be-
