.___..
Roddirrox Junior was getting out of breath. fie was hot, very hot. He was tired. He was beginning to be really frightened. And he was a 1on3 way from home. It. was wholly his awn fault. There was no one to blame but himself. He had been a little too venturescrrne. Young people, especially those who are Just starting out in the Great World are very apt to be too von- turesorne. It la a conumon mistakg of youth.
YOI-lfla Roddy hld allowed his curiosity to lead him too near a certain henyard on e {urn 151- from his home in thc Old Pasture He had been seen for it was broad daylight, and e young Dog who was being trained to hunt‘ Foxes was put on his trail.
At first the venturesome young Fox had not been worried. He cculd run fast, and he did just l8 10011 as he was sure that Dog Wu on his trai. He ran hard and fast and soon was out of hearing o! that Dog. He was out of breath es welLiI-ie was pgnflng as he laid down to rest and he was very pleased with himself for having outrun that Dog, But, he was pleased for only a short time. As a matter of feet, it wag

Point-Counting Blddingl
Miny players have adopted one of the point-count n-nuthada of gauging opening notrump bids and responses, relying almost woodenly on the effectiveness of those for- mulae. ,
Unfortunately, there is no "royal road" in bridge bidding-no rule of thumb can replace careful analy- sis ol each separate hand as it comes up Today's deal is a very simple and wpical illustration of this fact.
If North-South-are Point-count enthusiasts, they are sure to reach three notrump. South, counting 4 for an ace, a for a kins. 2 for a queen, and 1 for a jack, finds that he has 17 points _ and North counts up B points in his hand. The latter amount is enough for a single raise and South has better than the 16-1101", mlfllmum that he needed for his opening notriamp. so he now goes to game.
Insemination of the combined
North-South cards discloses that the three-notrump contract has no chance es the opposing cards lie, and indeed , that it does not figure to succeed. South finds the spade queen right, and the club ace on _side, yet his winners total only eight tricks, and considering the good luck In two suits, he can scarcely hope to get every con- ceivable break. In the Culbertson system, South also has a sound Culbertson one notrump, but North does not have a ralae according to Culbertson principles. Moreover, a player who merely used a "common-sense system" would probably take the right view with North's cards, and pass. He would reason, quite log- ically, that South's trick-taking power wps more likely to be five "l!!! 8b! lirloke. and North, even If tho IPlde Jock proved valuable would certainly take only three tricks. Thus, the prospect go;- nine trlie i look good enough.

0,5474% Raddy Mlnior was in ammi them
almost es soon as they started.
from f“ behind him came the voice o; the Dog, faint in the dis- lance He pricked up his black ears. Could it be. could it possibly be that Dog was still following him? 1n a few more minutes he lrnew the answer was yes. It could be and it was. That voice steadily grew louder, which meant that it was steadily drawing nearer. and fast.
Sooner than he liked, very much sooner, the young Fox woe run- ning again. He was not yet fully rested, so he couldn't run as fast as before. He couldn't run fast enough to get beyond tho sound o! that voice as he had at first. Alter e time he made a worrisome discovery. That Dog was running faster than he was. l-Ie knew it because that voice sounded e little nearer and a little nearer. He did his best to run faster, but that voice behind him was a little louder and a little louder. Worry became real fright. He was a scared young Fox, was Roddy Junior.
Had he. been nearer home he wouldn't have been quite so fright- ened. He would have been quite sure that his mother or his father would come to his aid if there was need But he was so far from home that they were not likely to know of the trouble he was in. He tried some simple tricks to break his trail,‘ but they hardly bothered the Dog at all. He wished there was a brook neer in which he could wade and so have his scent washed away, butihere wasn't. And there was no other friendly water of which he knew.
He was running now just outside the pasture in which he had made the acquaintance of the sheep peo. ple. Suddenly he remembered what his father had said about them being friendly folk and about making use of their friendliness. He slipped under the fence into the pasture. There they were, the whole flock huddled together, fac- ing the direction from which the sound of that Dog was coming lt was plain even to the young Fox at that distance that they were frightened.
"They d0n’t'like the sound o! that Dog. They are afraid. They must think he is alter them," thought he. "I wonder ii he hunts them too?" thought he.
He kept in the bushes until he was opposite them and es near as he could get without being seen. The buying of that Dog was very loud now. l-Ie was getting uncom- fortaliiy near. The sheep were getting more and more uneasy.
“They are getting ready to run. I wonder if I dare ti? that trick

ol running with them. Oh, deer, I guess I've got to. I guess there is nothing else I can do." thought the young Fox
He slipped out or the bushes The Sheep saw him. Perhaps they mistook hlr'n for the Dog. They turned and started to run. Raddy Junior was in among them almost es soon as they started. The Dog burst out of the bushes and the Sheep started across the pasture es fast as they could run. A race for lilo had begun. The Sheep thought it, was for their lives. It wasn't i: was roi- the life of the young
ox.
