did see him. He Wu hunting tor a dinner. she knew that by the ray he acted. Sometimes he stop- ped Just: long enough to liit his head above the grass to look about. Once he stared at her with unbllnking eyes. He doesn't blink because he has no eyelids. without eyelids one cannot wink or blink. None of the Snake loll: have eyelids. so Mr. Blacksnake stared straight at Mrs. Peter without seeing her. Anyway if he saw her he didn't know he did. In A

omcnt. he glided on. It was then that little Mrs. Peter became more worried than ever. You see Mr. Blaclrsnake was going straight toward that precious little nursery ir. the grass. If he kept straight- on he would be sure to discover it. Unless you are a mother you cannot guess how anxious Mrs. Peter was. She stood up on her hind feet that she might bctttr watch Mr. Blacksnake. Woiifd lie turn aside? on, how she hoped he would!

He was getting nearer and still going straight ahead. Oh. it only something would turn him aside! Nothing did. Every time he raised his head above the grass little Mrs. Peter shiver":-d. Mr. Black- snake was big. He was much the biggest of all the Snakefoik fair and near. 1! he found those bub- ies he would swallow them one by one. Not one would escape lilo was so big that Mrs. Peter really was afraid of him herself.

Mrs. Peter kept still and watch- ed as long as she could. Then she suddenly bounded forward. Per- haps she could make hlni turn aside beiore he was near enough in those precious babies to see them.

Lipperty. llpperty. lip ran Mrs Peter! Lippcrty. lipperty, lip! would she be in time?

A lend to- ward the club king would not put south in a commanding -osltion even if he found the ace on side; nor would it do him much good to play out the ace and king of trumps. even it the queen was going to fall (which it wasn't).

Thorough analysis convinced South that his best chance was to avoid the loss of any diamond trick. and that, of course, would involve iinding the diamond king under the A-Q.

At the second trick South led the singleton diamond from dum- my and boldly Iineascd his own queen. When it held, he cashed the diamond ace, discarding a club from dummy, then ruffed I diamond with the spade king. He rutted a heart low in his own hand, rufled his last diamond with the spade ace, and now. with nothing to lose by the eiiort.tricd the club finesse. West captured the club king, but later declarer had a bit or luck in smothering the trump nine. and so loaf. only the two club incks and the queen
