Bobby turned so as to go down the tree headflrst. sometimes he backs down a tree as a Cat does. This time he was going down head- first. which is the way Happy Jack squirrel goes down. But Bobby couldn't run down fast the way Happy Jack can. and now Mrs. Hooty had taken to her wings and was swooping at him, striking with her great curved claws and trying to knock him off that tree. liooty joined her. He had A sore foot, but that didn't prevent him from striking with the other foot. andi heating at Bobby Coon with his g wings. Bobby tried to dodge around the tree. as Happy Jack would have done in his place. But hg was too big to move as quickly as Happy Jack does. and he was get- ting a beating and scratching : ich as he had seldom known. How he wished that he hadn't climbed that tree, How he wished he hadn't thought of taking a nap up in that tree. and how he wished that he had first made sure that no one was living there. Would he ever get low enough to let go and drop? My, what wicked claws those Owls had, and what blows they could strike with those big wings. Bobby growled and snarled.

Needles to say. the fact that North-South had not reached even a small slam was somewhat humil-- iating (as well as expensive), and charges and counter-charges flew freely. South claimed that he had bid the hand very strongly. and that North should not have passed over four hearts. North countered that he had had no idea about South's distribution. including the fact that he could solidify North's long diamond suit, and there- fore North could not find a bid over four hearts that would be both safe and constructive.
