CuIbertson Plays Safe.
Such possibilities are, however, more
than improbable as Culbertson had
made it a point to play very safe, con-
servatiye bridge, without taking any
risks whatever. He can hardly be
blamed for not wanting to insure any
danger of losing the match after the

Same on First Hand.
It has been the general rule, when
ever Culbertson changed partners, for
his side to score a game on the very
first hand, and last night was not an
exception. He made six hearts on the
following hand, although he did not
bid the slam:
Evening star., 1932-01-08

The hearts were made and thus no
loss was suffered, but three no trump
could also have been made without the
slightest difficulty, and as three no
trump is game and as three hearts is
not, our opponents sacrificed consid-
erable invisible advantage for very
slight visible one.

Heron was stalking his prey.
That means that he was trying

Mr.. Toad. peeping through the over
hanging grass that hid him, watched
Longlegs with fascinated eyes. He
wondered who 1t was. It might be

It might be one Of Grandfather Frogs

He had done it in just that same way.
That is funny when you come to think

1t would be hard to find In all the

stalking prey they are very much alike.
Just as LonglegS steals slowly. care
fully toward his victim, putting each
foot down as If he were walking on
eggs, so does Old Mr.. Toad steal UP
on his prey. With both the approach
Is much the same.
1t is when they come within striking

back on his shoulders by Longlegs Is

amazing swiftness and his prey seized

Old Mr.. Toad, on the other hand, has
no long neck, Indeed, his neck is so
short that he might almost be said to
have no neck at all. But he doesn't

back 1t goes in the twinkling Of an
eye. That fly or that ant he had been
stalking has disappeared. Old Mr.. Toad
Is swallowing something, and in his
golden eyes Is a look Of satisfaction
and contentment. He has used his
long tongue as Longlegs uses his long
neck and bill
Old Mr.. Toad was not especially in

He saw so much of this kind Of thing
every day that he was used to It and

Longlegs would hurry up and catch
whoever 1t was he was after and
go his way. Yes, sir, that is what he
wished. You see, he wanted to sing,
and he didn't dare to with Longlegs
so near. He wanted to sing his Spring
love song. There was no knowing when
Mrs. Toad might be near enough to
hear it.
Longlegs was standing motionless
