-old" Mother Nature.

Plunger the Osprey. commonly called Fish Hawk. is I famous fisherman. He lives almost wholiy on fish. so of course he has to be a good tlsher-man. He would starve if he were not. And Plunger doesn't starve. He is always well fed. so is Mrs. Plunger. so are the child- ren until they are old enough to learn to catch fish for themselves They sometimes go hungry for a while when learning. but they learn all the faster for that. There is nothing like hunger to quicken wits.

Long ago Plunger learned the value of patience in fishing; that without patience few fish will be caught. And long ago he teamed the important skill. Both these could be learned and were But one other thing has an equally import- ant. part in fishing. It is luclz. Patience and skill alone are not enough. Plunger has proved that more times than he can remember Luck has given him a catch when and where he least expected it. and luck has spoiled a catch he was sure of.

The particular make-up of both the North and the south hands made it difficult to sound out slam possibilities with any great assur- ance. but the final contract. though speculative. was by no means bed. If the defenders could not establish a club trick immedi- ately. the slam would depend only on a fortunate position of the diamond ace.

West made his normal opening, the spade queen. Dummy's king won. and South drew the necess- ary two rounds of trumps. East discarded low diamonds.

psouth new led a dinmotld to the queen, and groaned inwardly when East. put down the me. East would have been very well advised to return a diamond. but he couldn't see anything wrong with leading the club Jack.

South covered the jack. and West's king forced the are. South then led to the spade ace, ruffed his last spade in dummy, and cash- ed all of trumps.

West, looking at the club eight in dummy, saw little value in his own six and seven of clubs, so no gave up his cards in that suit. and for some strange reason kept the lack and seven of spades. south nc-.v had the diamond seven and the club five. and dummy. discard- ing after West. kept the klng-deuce of diamonds. This was too much for poor East! Forced to guard the diamond suit. he discarded his last. club-and South won with the ful.

for his kind of fishing. Because the Merry Little Breeze .kept the surface roughened with little waves he couldn't. see for enough down in the water to see any fish that might be near enouzh to the top for him to plunge for them. The only quiet water 'vas where Laugh- ing Brook coming down from the smiling Pool joined the Big River behind a point of land. The Merry Little Breezes had not yet danced in there to trouble the water. The only thing wrong there was that two other fishers were there, Longlegs the Heron and Rattles the Kingfisher. Longlegs was standing wih his feet in the water and Rattles was perched in a tree overhanging the water where he could look down into it. Plunger much rather would have had that quiet water all to himself. 0! course, each of the others felt the same way. Each wished the others -would give up and go away. But. each. being a good fisherman, was

better if it were not too big for him to lift and carry back to Mrl. Plunger on their nest. Big fish were likely to be in water too deep

for Ionglegs the Heron to wade in. p

so it wasnt likely that Ionglegs would really interfere by catching the kind of a fish Plunger was looking for. As for that noisy Rat- tles the Kingfisher. he was too small to catch or swallow a fish much bigger than a Minnow. Plunger scorned such small fish unless he could have a lot of them. so after all. it didn't really mat- ter if the two others were fishing there, or so he thought. and gave all his attention to watching a fish below him.

By and by he saw one. It was big fish. It was just the right size. It was a fish he would be proud to take home to Mrs. Plunger. He seemed to remain stlll'up there in the air high above that. fish. Once he closed his wings and started to plunge, but almost at once spread his wings ynd checked himself.

i'roo deco." he muttered in dis- appointment. "l couldnlt have reached him in time. Yes. sir. he was too deep. I would only have scared him and perhaps some other fish I haven't yet seen."

The fish swam deeper. In I few minutes it disappeared in weeds on the bottom. It was flshermerfs luck. bad luck. Plunger wasted no more time watching for that fish. Presently he saw another almost as big. This one -was nearer the top. much nearer.

”That fish is mine." thought Plunger and shot down with great claws set. to clutch that fish. But just then another fisherman plunged into the water near by. it was Rattles the Kingfisher. and as he came out of the water um flew back to his perch. there was I small fish in his bill. But he had frightened the big fish. and it darted away just. before Plunger struck the water. He disappeared for an instant. Then he beat his great wings to lift him am the water. Hts claw. were empty. In screamed angrily.

"Fisherman's luck." said Rattles the Kingfisher. and swallowed the little fish he had caught.
