DUSTER LEARNS THE REASON WHY

For all that happens you will iind some reason always lies behind. -Old Mother Nature.

Buster Bear had discovered the nest oi Hooty the owl high up in :1. big tree deep in the Green For- est. Young Owls were in that nest. Buster could hear them czying. They were hungry. Young Owls in a nest usually are hungryi when they are not asleep. They may keep still while iather and mother

had been flying over and around the big nest or perched close to it. The young Owls saw them and were crying to be ied.

Buster Bear had been awake irom his long winter sleep but a. short time. The sound oi those young Owls reminded him that he was hungry. Little iood tor a nun- gry bear was to be found as yet. Those young Owls would be lit- tle more than a mouthiul. but they would be something. Buster is not one to despise small things. Many times had he worked hard to pull an old stump apart to catch a Mouse and no Mouse could be as big as one oi those young owls it he could Judge by their voices. It would be quite a climb to that nest. but Buster is a good climber big as he is. A dinner oi tender young Owls would be worth the work oi climbing up there. So Buster stood up at the loot oi the tree and look- ed up.

"You can't do that!" shrieked Hooty. snapping his bill fiercely as he brushed the top oi Buster's head with a big wing. What he really meant was that Buster mustn't do that. He knew pericctly well that that tree would be casy cliinbing

ior Buster. "why Bear with a most provoking grin. "Because this is our tree and you haven't any right to." cried Hooty. Mrs. Booty swooped close to Bus- ter's head. "we'll scratch your eyes out," she hissed.

-Buster struck at her swiitly with a big paw. but missed her. clumsy as he looks Buster can move thos:- blg paws or his with astonishing quickness. "til show you." he growled.

"You can't! You can't" shrlekeri the two big Owls and actually struck him, first one then the other as they flew about his head try- mg to coniuse him.

Buster paid no attention to them He pulled himself up on the lowest

.branch, digging his great claws

into the trunk oi the tree. Hooty and Mrs. Hooty became more dis- tressed and more excited than ever.

"You can't go up there. You can't go up there. You can't! You can'tl" they screamed. Such a. snapping oi billsi Such hiulngi Such thrcatsi

"So you think you can stop me. Well. you can't, and that's that." growled Buster. He sounded ugly. The truth is he was beginning to ieel ugly. He was losing his tem- per.

"You better not come up any tar- ther." said another voice. a mos: unexpected voice, a iretiui voice.

Buster stopped climbing. He star- ed up over his head. When he had looked up in that tree irom the ground he had looked up at the top. He had had eyes (or that host and nothing else. Now that he was in the tree looking up he saw (or the first time that there was some- one else in that tree about half way up. Also tor the iirst time he notic- ed that several branches were' bare of leaves, tender twigs and bark.

"You can't get past me." said the iretiul voice. It was a halt whine now. "You can't get past me and you better not try."

Close to the trunk oi the tree, on a branch -a little above him. Buster saw Prickly Porky the For- cupine. called by some oi his neighbors. the Untouchable Ono.

Buster drew back his lips to show his big teeth. "Get out oi my way," he snarled. v

"Don't you come any higher," whlned Prickly Porky. He didn't make any move to get out oi Bus- ter's way.

TRUMP-DRAWING DOESN'T ALWAYS COME FIRST

Most players seem to icel that the iirst thing they must do is "get out the trumps!" Perhaps they proceed on the theory that the side suits will take care oi them- selves.

Actually, of course, there are countless hands in which trump- drawing should be delayed. The ioilowing is one illustration.

The bidding:

South West North East 1 Q Pass '1 Q Pass 2 Q ' Pass 4 9 Pass Pass Pass

West opened the diamond eight, and when South saw the dummy it was obvious that he would have to lose two club tricks, perhaps one spade, and one or two hearts unless the queen lay doubieton.

West took the first trick with the diamond Jack and cashed the heart ace. He gave due notice to East's play or the ten. but ap- parently he concluded that East might have held Q-l0 blank. and so South hopetuliy laid the heart king. Uniortunately. however. East showed out. and now South was exposed to the sure loss oi 'two heart tricks as well as two clubs. The success or the spade iinesse was or only minor importance.

South should have done a little exploring to iind out how he stood in the spade suit, so that-he could handle the trumps to the best ad- vantage. His iirst move should have been to test the spade iincsse! it that iihessc lost. South would have to go alter trumps in the most hopciul lashion. leading out the ace and king on the chance that the queen would drop; but with the spade iinesse winning. South could now aiiord a safety play in trumps! That is, after cashing only one high card he could load low to- ward the J-7, and by so doing hold West to one trick in trumps.
