First he had looked around tor the best place for his new home. Any old place wouldn't do at all. , always pays to be .choosy when

making for a place lot a now home. so Johnny had wandered all over the Green Meadows. had looked over the Old Orchard, had been

over in, the Green Forest. and had even been up in the Old Pasture des- pite the lam. that he knew that Roddy and Mrs. Reddy Fox were living there. Finally he had chosen a spot just. under the fence between the Old l"astu1'c and the Green Meadows. Bushes grew along that fence. Between them, he could look from his doorstep over to the door Old Brinr-patch where Peter Rabbit and Mrs. Peter lived. Beiore deciding on that spot Johnny hnd made sure of one thing - he hnd made sure that plenty

he was thin, compared with what he would be by and by. no could run ialrly not now. and so he could venture iarthor from home than would be ado later. The time would come when he would be In (at that he would waddle rather than run. v

Here the sweet nlovsr grow almost to the edge as the bushes. That decided the matter (or Johnny and he went to work dicgiru that hole. Johnny is a good diner. Yes. sir. Johnny is a good digger. First he dug a long slanting hau. There were some roots, but theyswere not big ones. He hit these or! with his big cutting teeth. once he found a big stone in the way. He made a turn in his hall around that stone.

"I will probably stay- here through next winter, so I'll make my bedroom deep enough to be be- low the reach of Jack Frost." thought Johnny. This he did. He made that hall no bigger than was necessary to enable him to run along it easily. Hero and there he widened it, making what. you would call a landing. These wider places were to give him room to turn a- round. with his stout digging claws of his front, ieet he dug a- my the earth and loosened small stones and pebbles. To get this out he turned himseli into a sort oi living bulldozer. He used his stout hind feet to push himself up the hallway already dug. pushing ahead oi him the loose sand and pebbles with his chest.

Peter Rabbit had come over to watch him work. As usual Peter was iull oi curiosity. He wanted to know ii Johnny would have a back door. 0!. course, it was no business of Peter's, and Johnny didn't tell him. After Peter had left, Johnny talked to himself. "01 course I'll have a back door. No Chuck with any sense at all would make a home without, a back door. The question is. will one back door be enough? It could be. yet it might not be. Two back doors would be better. and three better still."

Johnny went outside to look a- round and see Just where back doors that would be well hidden

of sweet clover was growing close

West, Irnduly impremed by Bart- ner's bid oi one notrump in the iaoe or South's original diamond call. decided that, a diamond lead would be 'as sale as any. This un- lortunalo decision let south I99 rid oi two clubs from dummy while winning with his ace, and queen ot diamonds, and South then led the spade king to void his own hand oi that suit.

on taking the spade ace, West saw the need to put his partner in for a trump return, to reduce the North-South cross-ruiiing pow-

ing a low club. away from his ace. East won with the club queen and duly returned a trump. South put up the ace. rufied a club in dum- my. then ruited a spade in his 0 hand. Now he led a diamond.

,West should have discarded a spade on this trick, but he iesred that ths would permit declsrer to establish dummy": filth spade. 50 West threw air a club. He repeat- ed thls action when declsrer. having ruffed the diamond in dummy. ruiied another made in his own hand and led another diamond. The consequence was that South made every trump in his own hand and dummy on a cross-ruill'. and thus iuullled the contract.

It West had discarded a spade at some point, so that he could over- ruii with the heart king when South led and ruffed a spade, it is true that the spade jack would have become established-but East would have had a trump to prevent its cashlngi
