West led the diamond ten: East put up inc km; and cashed the ace. then inadc the good play of still :1 tliird diamniid. South ruffed w:lh the hem": Jack. and West pi'0mp'.l,i' 0l'C'.'l".lii('d with the queen.

If West had been able to put East in for another daziinond lead. this overruifed would have turned out. very well, with West's re. malmng 9-8-7 of trumps bv::ng promoted. out East iliid no entry and so it was a simple matter for declarer to draw West's trumps and spread the hand.

East immediately ”jumpcd on" West for "wasting his diamond queen on an m'ei'rurf," saying that if West had simply discarded on this trick. he eventually would have won two hcarl. tricks. This sounded logical to west. and he

meckly apologized. But the dec-ifle-w away. Drummer went on a-i

larer couldn't allow that, First he asked East what card he would have West discard on the third diamond. East suggested a spade. South then reconstructed the hand and replayed it openly with that change of defense.

After holding the third dia- mond with the heart jack, South

East showed out. South cashed all four clubs. discarding a spade. then cashed t.hc ace and king of spades. He then led the five of hearts and. of course. West was end-played in trumps. Winning with the eight. he had to lead back into declarer's tenace and. I5 before. only one heart trick was lost.

East. in some contusion. lrew his criticism!

Drummer the Woodpecker was hunting for his breakfast. sharp- lshin the Hawk was hunting loi- this brcakiast. Like all the meni- ybcrs of his big family Sharp- lnhiil has sharp eyes. He has to liiave. lie had seen Drummer while still some distance away. 2Druinnici' would make a vciy good ibreakfasi. indeed. He was big cnoigh. yet not too big. lie was

i l l i. Lu..s so biisy doing this that he ididnlt oncc look around. i "This is iny chance,” thought lSh:1!'pSi1in, and headed straight ifor Drummer. He is swift of wing. is Sh.'il'pShin. He daslied at Druznmcr full speed. A! the very last instant something happened. Driimmcr simply wasn't there. He had dodged around to the under side of that limb. and he had done it in the very nick of time. .Hc hadn't seemed to be looking around. yet somehow he had seen ;the small Hawk. p Drummer dodged agziiii when fSb31'PShin wheeled and ciasiied at ;hLi'li. Tnen Drummer got to the trunk or the tree. Tlicrc he felt iSIliP. He could dodge this way and that around the triinl-: just as Happy Jack Squirrel does when -one of the big Hawks is alter lliim. Sharpshm knows when lie :25 beaten. After two or three -daslics at Drummer he gave a .sCl'Ci'lnl of disappointment and

jbout his business just as if noth- Hng had happened. So inuny things lharlvlaened so often to litile people of the Gr-en Forest that they waste no time thinking iwhat has happened. it they ihink lat all. it. is of what may hap- pen.

Now that was 3 very bad storm that had started just after Drum- mer had gone into his house. Rough Brotlier North Wlnd drove the snow so that "it partly filled the doorway. Later on the -SHOW turned to rain. and later still Jack Frost froze the wet snow and turned it into ice. The ice didn't quite fill Di-ummci"s doorway, but lnlmost did. By morning it had lrozcn very hard. Drummer was a prilsoiier in his own room but
