Four young Gray Smtirels, Hap- py Jack's children, were having a strange experience. In that part oi the Green Forest where they lived was a stillness that could almost be felt. There wasnit a sound of any kind. It was stillness born of fear. The four 3 oung Squirrels felt that fear without knowing what they were afraid of. Each kept perfectly still without know- in: why. Somehow it seemed as it that silence. that stillness. was fairly screannng "DRIIGZW! . 01 rourse it wasn't because stillness could have no voice. Buriingtnn at 7:30 pm. By order of W.M.

Alter what seemed a long, long time, but really was only two or three minutes, the stillness was broken by thg faintest oi sounds. It was the sound of leaves rustling under very small feet. Then one oi the young Squirrels spied the own- er of those small ieet. It was some one he had never seen before. It was a very small person, not much bigger than the young Squirrel himself. but of very diilerent shape. The little stranger's body was long, and very slender. He was wearing a blown coat and a while waistcoat. His not very long tail was black at the tip. He didn't look to be big enough to be a dangerous enemy. Yet, without knowiniz why, the very sight. of this quick moving little stranger filled the young Squirrel with such never known be- ior llln CAMP until Monday noon, July The slender little stranger was hunting. lore. A moment later the three other young Squirrels saw the lit- tle stranger. and they in turn were tilled with fright. 'I1ie slender little stranger was hunting. There was no doubt a- bout that. He ran back and f0l'ih, this way. that, and all the time he was using his nose. He was hunt- ing for the scent of any one who might have passed that way. He poked his head into every hole whether it was in the ground; in an old stump. or a log. He was so slender he could go into a Mouse hole. and did. A white-looted Wood Mouse lived there. They had often seen him going in and out of that hole. Sometimes Just before they ' hari gone to bed for the night they had seen that pretty little Mouse sitting: in his doorway. Many times 1 they had seen him, sit up and wash this race with his little white hands. ll-le was a very neat. little person. i'rhey wondered if he was at home inow, and it that stranger would Hind him there. If he did, what would happen? Presently the lstranger popped out or that hole. Once he licked his lips. Did that mean anything? The young Squir- lrels didn't know. but it gave them an uncomfortable teellnrz. The slender hunter down there jon the ground had a way of mys- , teriously disappearimz. He moved so 3quickly. dodging behind things and lunder things. that it was hard to ilceep track of him. Once he came t,over to the foot of the home tree tin which the young Happy Jacks were keeping so still. He sat up for ;. moment looking up. and the little Squirrels had a dreadful (eel- ing that he could see them. It was an awful moment. He started as it to climb, and then changed his (Eo.n-tinned on Page Kit Janlll Joe Charlottetown Golf club Dance TONIGHT AT CLUB HOUSE ' Dancing 9:30 PM. to 1 A.M.

However, North's tour-club call over the three notrump, and South's answer to this one bid-four spades-were highly debatable actions. The practical objection to the tour-club cue-bid is that it could lead to the sort of misunderstand- ing it did lead to, with south (an expert, we repeat) reading the call as a demand tor his best suit. Actually. it strong cnsecan be made for South's answering the cue-bid with a (Ive-club cue-bid ot his own. thus demanding that North name his preference. but South telt that North might have three tour-card suits and that this would put him in grave difficulty. It would have been more logical for North to content himself with a bid of four hearts over South's three notrump, on the theory that a slam would be remote it south could not volunteer further action. Then. holding two aces and a king in a. hand passed originally. south undoubtedly would have made a slzm try. The sad part of this affair. front the North-South point of view, was not only that the small slam at hearts (with 100 honors) was mis- sad. but that south. furiously argu- ng about the bidding the moment he saw the dummy. was so care- less as to go down at tour spades!
