Raddy had set his heart on catching Ragged-Ear. the young Rabbit who had recently come to the Old Pasture. Perhaps heart is the wrong word and I should have lsald stomach, tor it was his stomach he was thinking of. He 15 very fond of Rabbit dinners, especially when the Rabbits are Iyoung and tender. Ragged-Ear was just that. Just thinking of him made Rieddyk-I mouth water.

retreat through fright. Again he had failed. Now he was trying slynesa. He had allowed Ragged- Ear to overhear him talking about some delicious sweet clover. He was talking to himself as I! talking to someone else. The young Rabbit didn't know this because he could not see the sly rascal.

"If I know Rabbits, and I think I do, that silly young fellow with the ragged ear will keep trunking about that sweet clover until he will have to go looking for it." tholmiht Reddy. "lemptatlom will be too much for him. Probably he knows where there is plenty of clover easy to get, but there never yet was a Rabbit who won't wonder if the clover someone else has isn't better than the clover he has himself, I'll just drop a hint as to where that clover is to be found."

He told Mrs. Raddy what he planned to do. "Where is this wonderful clover?" she asked. Roddy grinned. ”1 don't knmln" he confessed.

"Then how are you going to get that Rabbit to go looking for it? He isn't going to unless he has some idea where to look,” said Mrs. Reddy.

Once more Reddy grinned. It was a sly grin, a grin that Mrs. Roddy understood perfectly. "I'll'

drop a hint, just a hint, where to look," said he.

”But supposing there isn't any clover there," said Mrs. Raddy.

R.eddy's grrin was more sly than ever. "That wonlt matter. It is the place. not the clover. that matters. There may be some clover there and there may not," said he. Mrs. Reddyls eyes glowed with understanding. "So that's it,” said she. ”You will drop a hint that that wonderful clover may be round in a certain place near which you will be hiding, and where you are sure you can catch the foolish young thing it he comes."

"You have guessed it, my dear. "replied Reddy. "There may not be a leaf 0! clover them but I will be there, and that is all that matters. My clear, why did you call him a foolish young thing?"

"Isn't anyone foolish whc allows a mere hint to lead him to take chances that may cost too much. even life perhaps?" reiorted Mrs. Roddy. Then she added, "Any Rabbit who believes anything a Fox may tell him is bound to be foolish." It was her turn to grin.

There is perfect understanding between these tvm, Reddy and Mrs.

Reddy.She understood what Hcddy was planning to do as well as if she had planned it herself. She would even help if there should he need. Reddy was sure there wouldn't be. He told her of the place he had chosen and she nodded approval.

"I don't see how you can fail." said she,

"I cant and I won't. That silly young Rabbit who thinks he is so smart is as good as mine this very minute," declared Raddy.

"Only you can't taste him," said Mrs. Reddy and grinned again at Reddy. He grinned back at her.

In one way or another Raddy managed to drop hint after hint a-

No one can say that Ncrthls bidding was timid! The jump to two notrump was bold enough (even in View of North's original pass), and South then failed to bid either notrump or four spades it is hard to see how North could find the optimism to act for his partner. In the end, however, North could point to the result and grim

West opened the club jack. The four was played from the brard and East put up the king. East then did what 99 players in 100 would do - he shifted to diamonds in the hope of finding West with at least the king. Then, a heart return through dummy's king figured to defeat the contract. Unfortunately for this line of reasoning, however. West did not get in very soon. South cashed his A-K of diamonds, then entered dummy with a club and discarded his hearts on the Q-J of diamonds while West was squanderlng his ace of trumps. Now South could concede the trump king to East and claim his remarkable contract.

The diamond return by East was superficially attractive, but close analysis reveals the flaw in that deiense. Granting that East could not conceivably place his partner with the spade ace. there was nevertheless no need for the diamond shift and there was danger in that play - as witnessed by what happened. If Went really had a controlling diamond he would always get in wlrhh it in time to shift to hearts. and if East's trump king was trapped, it would not help matters for East to avoid leading a trump, Thus, the truly expert East would return a trump at thg second trick.

bout that sweet clover so that they reached the ears or Ragged-Ear. He grew more and more eager to find it. At last Reddy dropped a hint where to look and made sure that it reached Ragged-Ear.
