De- clarer played the ace of spades, then a small spade to dummy, and next cashed his two top clubs. When the club queen dropped, South saw that he would just have to risk a third lead of the suit before draw- ing the last trump, for otherwise he would be blocked. West trumped this third round of clubs and laid down the diamond king, upon which East signaled violently with the eight. To East's disgust, West now played a heart (he had nothing else left). South, of course, ruffed in his hand, then discarded the last two diamonds on his clubs.

(L) LISPERS—SPIRES (stand out in skyline.) 4 has always been satisfied to sit on his doorstep and smile as he watched the world go by, but now a little bit of discontent had crept into Johnny Chuck’s peace of mind. The fact is Johnny Chuck has become just a wee, wee bit jealous. Now jealousy is like the weeds that grow in the garden. You know they start from tiny, tiny seeds, and when they come through the brown earth they are just tiny, tiny plants, soon they are gréat big plants that the farmer has to go along and hoe out. At first Johnny Chuck was just a little bit troubled. It didn't amount to much, but he couldn’t keep it out of his mind, and the more he thought about it the bigger the trouble grew. - Now, what do you suppose it was 8ll about? Why, it was just because he had found some one who could dig faster than he could. Johnny 789 ] : g g 8 g H & i f& 4 B H 7EE itk §gg i 2 58 i fe E 1 | £ ] : EE 4 i g & 2 & > the Green Meadows. Johnny Chuck had been the first one to welcome hin® and had been very polite and . | nice to him, and right down in his heart Johnny was very proud of him, but the newcomer could dig. My goodness! How he could dig! In fact his name was: Digger the Badger. 8o'Johnny Chuck sat on his door- step and forgot to smile. He was Badger. The Merry Little Breezes danced across the Green Meadows and pulled Johnny’s whiskers and rumpled his hair. They actually didn’t know what to make of it when Johnny Chuck refused to play with them, but just sat and sulked and sulked. Peter Rabbit came hopping along and invited Johnny €huck to go down to the sweet clover patch, but Johpny refused and just sulked and sulked and sulked. Jimmy Skunk young cabbage which he had dis- covered in Farmer Brown's garden, but even that didn't interest Johnny Chuck. It grew worse and worse every day until all the little meadow people knew that something was wrong with Johnny Chuek. He grew 5o * cross that no one could get a pleas- :Il:itnc ‘happen A ppun; ed.
