Now, with every suit breaking badly, all declarer man- aged to make were three trump tricks, three hearts, one diamond and one spade, for a total of eight, and he was down 1,600. (Actually, he could have done one trick better double dummy.) South criticized his partner’s re- double severely, but in our opinion 98 per cent of the fault lies with South. In the first place, he should have passed two diamonds. In the second place, he had absolutely no excuse for not passing three dia- monds. West might have doubled, Fin which case North could have run to four clubs, and the maximum penalty would have been 500. * ok ok ok Yesterday, with both sides vulner- able, you were Howard Schenken's partner and held: AAJT9XX VQ XX o #J10x xXx The bidding: Schenken Jacoby You Burnstone 10 Pass 14 Pass 20 Pass 3& Pass 30 Pass (?)

Reddy Fox, hiding with Shadow the Weasel in a hollow log near Unc’ Billy Possum’s home, nudged Shadow with his elbow. “I hear some one coming,” he whispered. Shadow peeped out. “It’s old Mr. Toad and Prickly Porky,” he whis- pered back. Something that sounded very much like a growl sounded .way down deep in the throat of Reddy Fox, for Reddy has no love for Prickly Porky. “And there comes Jimmy Skunk with a big goose egg under each arm!” continued Shadow, smacking his lips. Reddy Fox wriggled up where he could peep out, too. M “My goodness! What’s that com- ing down the Lone Little Path?” whispered Reddy. . Shadow looked. Then he began to laugh and Reddy began to laugh, too. But it was laugher that made no sound, for Reddy and Shadow didn’t want any one to know that they were hiding there. It was a funny sight they were peeping out at. It certainly was a funny sight! Down the Lone Little Path came Peter Rabbif and his cousin, Jumper the Hare, rolling a huge cabbage. Right at the top of a little hill the cabbage got away from them. Down it started, rolling and bound- ing along with Peter Rabbit and Jumper the Hare frantically trying to catch it. Just ahead was Johnny Chuck with a big bundle of sweet clover which he was bringing Peter Rabbit’s party. He didn’t see the big cabbage coming. It knocked MEXICO WITHOUT ) PERMISSION WE'L\.

Right on top of him fell Jumper the Hare, who was close behind the runaway cabbage, and had no time to turn aside. Over the two fell Peter Rabbit. Such & mixup!

Jimmy Skunk landed on the other and this broke, too. Such a Sight as Jimmy Skunk was! Egg dripped from every part of his handsome black and white coat. It was in his eyes and all over his face and dripped from his whiskers. Shadow the Weasel and Reddy Fox, hiding in the hollow log, laughed until the tears rolled down their cheeks, though down in the heart of Shadow was bitter disappointe ment, for Shadow had planned to steal those very eggs. . Just a little way beyond Jimmy Skunk the runaway cabbage brought up with a thump against the stump on which sat Striped Chipmunk with the pockets in his cheeks filled full of yellow corn. The sudden bump of the big cabbage made Striped Chipmunk lose his balance and off he tumbled right down on to old Mr. Toad, who had sat down be- hind the stump for a few minutes’ rest. It knocked all the wind out of Mr. Toad, and of course Striped Chipmunk spilled all of his corn. Prickly Porky the Porcupine heard the noise. He looked up to see a 4 ‘ \ WONDER IF (T'S FASTENED S0 THAT IT WILL MY WEIGHT 2= TH END SEEMS ALL RIGHT: TURE - SYNDICATE, ~ioc I *HERE IS MY PASSPORT.'” TARZAN AN- [SWERED --- AND DROVE HIS FIST A- GAINST THE FELLOW'S CHIN, By Norman Marsh THE OTHER P70 GDESS FVE GOT TO RISK IT/-- HOLD 6 HERE GoES! oo Colored Comic Section Every Sunday.) strange thing bounding down the Lone Little Path. Prickly Porky didn't wait to see what it was. He did just what he always does when he thinks there may be dan- ger; he rolled himself up with his face hidden in his waistcoat, and when he did that the thousand little spears hidden in his coat stood out until he looked like a giant chestnut bur. The runaway cabbage bounced off the stump and hit Prickly Porky. Then it stopped. Where it had touched Prickly Porky the sharp stuck into it, so that when Peter Rabbit and Jumper the Hare hurried up, there lay the &mnwuymcfilkzhm looking for all e worl e & great green pin- cushion. r After all hands helped in sepa- rating the errant cabbage and Prickly Porky, peace was again re- stored and the invited guests pre- pared for Unc’ Billy Possum’s party.
