Now it happened that he was flying not far from the tall tir tree in the lonsome part or the Green romp. the very tree in which he and Mrs. Bitchy had built their nest the year before.

that Hooiy and Mrs. ooty. bla- gest of all the Owl amlly. had been looking that nest over. He wiernbered this now. and he decided to (ly near enough to see if there were any signs or those Owls around that nest now.

He flew high. You see, he was playing safe. He flew high enough to feel sure that if those owls were in the neighborhood. they would not be likely to see him. or. if they did see him. would not be likely to catch him. He flew so as to pass directly over that fir tree so tlm-t he could look down right into it.

Blacky's eyes are sharp. They are very sharp indeed. If they were not. Blacky would have a much harder time than he does getting food. and he has a hard enough time us it is especially in winter. He saw his nest when he was still some distance from that tree. He knew it was his nest, although it didn't look like a. nest at all. "It's full of snow." muttered Blaoky. ”lt'e full of snow, and heaped up. I don't see a thing of

those Owls. I wonder if they really are planning to take that nest." He flew a. little higher. With s few more strokes of his black wings he would pass right over the top of that fir tree, and of the nest. He could look down on the letter and see it clearly now. It looked as if show had filled the nest, and then piled up in it. Then. just as it was directly beneath him so that he was look- ing straight down. a strange thing happened. A very strange thing happened. It made Blaoky miss :1 beat or two or his wirigs. That heap of snow in the nest below hlm seemed to explode. The snow flew in all directions. There. stand- ing up in the nest, stretching out her great wings, and shaking the snow from them. was Mrs. Hooty. "Awk!" cried Blncky. in startled surprise. Then how he did fly! He got away from there as fast as those wings of his could take him. He hoped Mrs. Hooiy hadnit. heard him, and that she hadn't seen him. but he didn't, wait to find out. Later he told Mrs. Bliwky all about it. "My dear," said he, "that Owl must halve been on that nest all night. She must have been there from the time the snow be- gan to fell. Imagine that! Any- way, I'm sure now."

"What are you so sure of?" ask- ed Mrs. Black;-.

"I'm sure those owls are going to use our nest this year ,and that that part of the Green Forest is going In be a place to keep away from." said Blacky.

"The hateful things! We wanted that nest mu-selves this year. Now we've got to go to all the work of building a new one." declared Mrs.

No one can deny that the six- plus honor-tricks (or 23 high-card poin-is) constitute a strong hand; but South was nevertheless on question-aable ground wh he siarted of with two diamonds. t of the leading experts would open the South hand with one club (to make it as easy as possible for partner to respond) and then, over a heart response. leap all the way to three notrump. However, South reached the same contract.

West, opened the club queen, md East discarded a low spade. south won, and when he counted tricks he saw that two hearts would be required to fulfil the contract. Since delay would only give the opponents time to get set, South immediately led ll low heart to- ward dummy.

If West had automatically play- ed low (us almost every defender would) South's proper course would have been marked for him .He would have put in the eight or nine on the chance of driving out the king or queen; then, on his next he-ert lead, he would finesse again. West, however. threw the proverbial monkey-wrench into the machinery - on the first heart lead toward dummy, he put in the queen!

South's dilemma is obvious. He had to duck dummy at this point. and when he made his second hcert lead. how could he possibly tell that East now had the blank king? South was not a mind- reader. On the second lead he put in dumy's jack, and the consequ- ence was that he took no heart tricks.
