or sad feeling although he didn't himself know the cause of it.

He just couldn't stay in the dear Old Briar-patch. He wanted some- body beside Mrs. Peter to talk to. Perhaps he just wanted to gossip a lot or Iolks do, you know. It is one way or learning things, us- ually things or no importance, or about neighbors whose sifairs should be wholly their own. Peter headed for the smiling Pool. He would have a chat with Jerry Musk- rat. when he got there Jerry wasn't in sight. Peter sat around doing nothing for a while. He had just made up his mind to go over to the Green Forest and look ior Happy Jack Squirrel when he saw Jerry Muskrat swimming out from where Laughing Brook enters the Smiling Pool. Jerry had a mouth- ful or something; Peter couldn't see Just what.

Jerry made no reply. His tail and hind feet were going back and forth, back and forth in the water very last. They were driving him through the water the way it pro- peller drives a boat. His funny fiat- sided tail was a sort or rudder that helped to keep him straight in the direction he wanted to go. Those hind feet of his were webbed like the feet of a duck. This is why Jerry is such A good swimmer.

There is one thing I. deciarer cannot aiiord to lorget: that an opponent passed originally. Observe how this factor led South to 'the correct line or play in the ioiiow-

"Come on over!" cried Peter.

"Too busy." squesked Jerry, and dived into the water. That was the last Peter saw of him.

After a while Peter ran over to the Green Forest. Almost at once saw Happy Jack, the Gray squirrel.

"Hi, Happy Jack!" called Peter.

Happy Jack said nothing. He couldn't say anything: he had a big nut in his mouth. He raced away as fast as his legs could take him to a certain place he had in mind where the earth was soft. He dug a little hole and buried that nut. He even pulled a few leaves Over the place. Then of! he ran to look for another nut. He didn't even say "Hello" to Peter; he was too busy.

Peter went to look (or Chatterer the Red Squirrel. Chatterer was up in a pine tree cutting of! pine cones so they dropped to the ground. The seeds in these would be part of his food. His usually nolsy,tongue was still. He was too busy to gossip, or even to scold.

It was the same way with Striped Ch1Dmunk.He had both cheeks stuiied with small nuts and a big nut in his teeth. He couldnit say a word.

"I'm Iliad I don't have to work to live like that, said Peter to himself. You know Peter doesn't even know the meaning of the word "thrift." He is too happy-go. lucky.

South's opening bid, fourth-

hand, was not very strong in re- epect to high cards, but it was certainly better than I. pass. and moreover, when North raised to three spades, south was well ad- vised in going on to game. In I case of this sort, at rubber bridge. there must be a very good reason. not for rebidding the game, but for "hanging" I trick short.

West opened the club king and contlucd with his other club hon- ors. (A heart shift would have made quite a dii'Kei'cnce.) Declarer ruffed, and at this point most players in his position would stake their chances on finding either the spade king or the heart king right. This expert South, however, had a. dliferent and better idea. Wes had passed originally, and had turned up with the three top honors in clubs. Wouldn't he have opened the bidding with an out- side king, or, at any rate, wouldn't he have made a secondary double 0! one spade with such a holding? South decided that the probability (not mathematical but personal) strongly iavored East's having the missing kings, and so he decided to avoid both finesses.

Having ruffed the third club, South led the spade queen but. when West played low. went right up with dummy's ace. He then cashed his three diamond tricks and led another trump. , East, thrown in with the trump king, had to return a heart, giving South is free nnesse, or a club which would permit South to dis- card in heart while rumng the trick in dummy.
