South played a small heart, playing the nine from dummy, East winning with the jack. East returned his singleton club and South won with the ace and then led a spade, finessing dummy'’s jack. East returned a spade, which was won by dummy’s king, and the queen of hearts was then played. When East ducked, South of course finessed, and another trump lead through East gave South the re- maining tricks for his doubled con- tract. ‘Was East correct in doubling four hearts? Of course not. His double simply told South where all the important high cards were located. In other words, East’s double was a “give- away,” for without it we doubt very much if South would have guessed everything correctly. Finally, in spite of South’s fine play, East could have defeated the contract by lead- ing a third round of diamonds. * % % % Yesterday you were David Bruce Burnstone'’s partner and held: AAQxX 9= OCKQxx S#K10XxXX The bidding: Burnstone.

Bedtime Stories By THORNTON W. BURGESS. Unc’ Billy Possum certainly is fond of eggs. And it is because of this fondness for eggs that the Green Meadows were thrown into great excitement late one afternoon just as the black shadows came creeping down from the Purple Hills. Reddy Fox brought the news, and when he told it he grinned as if he enjoyed 1t and was glad of it “Old Billy Possum is dead. I know 'uwl;euuse 1 ;‘: hhmer Brown's carrying ome by the tail” sald Reddy. “So you see i THREE' MORE GUYS YOU EVERY DAY, MOON * THOUGHT YoU WERE SMART, CALLING THE APE T HELP You!” ZALIM LAUGHED, "BUT YoU'VE CALL- ED HIM 70 HS DEATH?”_ § NOW YOUR HANDS ARE UNTIED--TURN I'LL TO9S SOME OIRT IN THE AIR THAT BOTHER AND POSTAGE BY NOT GOIN; GEE-GEE.

No one really believed Reddy Fox, for every one knows that he seldom tells the truth, but when Jimmy Skunk came mournfully down the Crooked Little Path and said that it was true, they had to believe jit. ‘Then everybody began to talk about Unc’ Billy and say nice things about him and tell how much they had enjoyed having him live in the Green Forest since he came up from “ol’ Virginny.” That is, everybody but Reddy Fox said so. Reddy said that A it served Unc’ Billy right because he was .of no account anyway. Then everybody began to hoot and hiss at Reddy until he was glad enough to slink away. And while they were all saying such nice things about him Unc’ Billy Possum was being carried by the tail up to Farmer Brown's house. For once Unc’ Billy had been too bold. He had gone up to Farmer Brown's henhouse before dark. Jimmy Skunk had tried to stop him, but he had heeded Jimmy Skunk not at all. He had said that he was 4 DON'T | BE siLLy, MOON.

So off he had started, for Unc’ Billy Possum is very headstrong obstinate. He had reached the henhouse and slipped inside without being seen. The nests were full of eggs, and soon Unc’ Billy was enjoying his feast so that he forgot to keep watch. Sud- denly the door opened and in stepped Farmer Brown's boy to get some eggs for supper. There was no time to run. Unc’ Billy just dropped right Mdv'n in his tracks as if he were 1 . WHO, ME?

He certainly is dead enough, whatever killed him. I wonder what he was doing in here.” When he saw some eggs on Unc’ Billy's lips. “Ho! ho!” shouted Farmer Brown's boy. “So you are 3 " LOVE OF MIKE, THROW HIM A Do6G BISCUIT! the thief who has been getting my eggs!” And picking up Unc’ Billy by the tail he started with him for the house.
