weak spot in the no-trump hand. This
was the right lead. in my opinion, but
two Easts who made it lost their ace
of diamonds, and did not take single

reproach them for letting the ace 60

the ace by what seemed at the time
to be very innocent, harmless dis

came about: The small slam is al

only with the making of grand slam

trumps; East echoes in diamonds. Now

of spades force East to throw away

him, and retains the suit he throws
away. The thirteenth trick Is won
either by the king Of diamonds or by
the five of clubs. Is this not a queer
kind of squeeze? 1t shows how hard
it may sometimes be to realize the

Something like that" replied little
Saw-whet. I'll stay until some Of
that snow has melted away. Well, I
think have had air enough and
will get back to the barn. Glad to
have met you. Cousin Spooky. Too
bad can't invite you over there to
enjoy few Mice or plump Rat, but
you are too big to get through that
hole. AS have said before, there are
advantages in being small. Good night,
Cousin"
Without waiting for reply he
spread his wings and headed for
Farmer Browns barn. Enviously
Spooky watched him go. He knew
that Saw-whet had told the truth
about the good hunting in that barn.
He snapped his bill angrily. And to
think that little runt has it all to
himself!" he exclaimed. "He probably
catches all the Mice he wants, but he
was boasting when he spoke Of catch
ing Rats. I would like to see him
tackle a good-siZed Rat. Yes, sir, I
would. He was just talking big"
Spooky was mistaken. A big young
Rat made the same mistake when he
saw the little Owl swoop down on
luckless Mouse. so that is the
cause of the disappearance Of so many
of the Mice here in the barn." said
he, under his breath. "Well, I'm not
afraid of him. He is too small to be
feared by us Rats. Why, I'm bigger
than he is. I guess he knows better
than to try to catch me-"
So the young Rat didn't try to keep
out of sight but boldly came out and
went as he pleased and chuckled to
himself at the very idea Of that little
Owl even thinking OF attacking a Rat.
But this was the mistake Of that Rat
He never went back home. Instead
he went up on one of the rafters
high up under the roof Of the barn.
But he didn't know this. He had
been struck by the little Owl he had
scorned and had had no chance to
fight. He had under-rated the little
Brown Owl and it was mistake, .

the Owls who live in the East
had been driven down from
IL farther north by hunger until
at last he had found comfort
and plenty in Farmer Browns big
barn. Under the caves was a small
hole through which he could pass but
through which no one larger than he
could enter or leave. He had explained
this to his cousin, Spooky the Screech
Owl, whose acquaintance he had made
over in the Old Orchard. Spooky knew
all about that barn. He had lived In
it once for while. Many times this
Winter he had wished that he could
get in there to hunt for Mice. but
the entrance he had once used had
been closed and he could not find
another.
Spooky changed the subject. II sup
pose" said he, that Mrs. Saw-whet
makes her nest in hollow tree just
as Mrs. Spooky does hers"
Saw-whet nodded. "As a rule" he
replied That is the sort of home
We prefer. We find old homes OF
some of the Woodpecker family very
handy. Did I see you coming out OF
a hole in that tree over there?"
You did If you were looking that
way when I came out. That is my
home at present." said Spooky.
1T is rather open here" remarked
Saw-whet. II like woods better my

Then why don't you go over to
the Green Forest to stay?" said
Spooky quickly.
Again his small cousin chuckled
For the same reason that I left

The wolf spider creeps to a twig

has had an encounter that has cost

will have a new complete leg. If the
battle was recent, he will have had
only sufficient time to grow stump.
In changing the old garment, the
skin splits down the back and very

free from it. At this time he is
docile and weak His new skin is very
soft and sensitive, and he is the easy

THIS name is derived from the word

so called from the coarse sackcloth
garments which they wore. 1t is
thought that the name Sackett as a
surname was first assumed by a men,
Der Of this fraternity.
One OF the earliest arrivals in
America of this name was Simon

In 1881. His brother, John, settled In

John Sackett was an early settler
of Northampton. and Westfleld, Mass.

Wolf Spider.

- TALKING its prey as cleverly as
its namesake, the wolf spider
practices the same tactics as
~ the animal 1t waits until
within springing distance. then
leaps forward upon the victim. quick
stab, and the poor thing knows no
more.
These spiders DO not hunt in packs,
as do the true wolves, but go alone
and are very secretive. When the
prey has been seized and paralyzed
the hunter drags him off to a place
Of concealment and dimes in peace.
This spider is heather spinner nor
a trap setter. He depends upon his
wits and agile legs to get him what
he needs. When the stalker is hun
cry, he goes to a spot where he has
reason to believe the hunting is good.
From point of vantage, either under
q stone, on twig, or in the shadow,
he takes his stand and rarely has to
wait long before fine specimen comes
zooming along. This is the advantage
of going to market; you have bet
ter choice.
The wolf spider, being 'go-getter,"
soon has more than enough for his
needs and can take a nap. He has
no broken traps to repair. no silk
cables to spin, all he does is to sleep
and eat.
In watching the clever hunter, you
will be impressed with the fact that
he is not a procrastinator. When an
insect comes within his jumping dis
lance, there Is no time lost in inde-
cision. The hunter puts himself in
position. no matter which way the
victim is headed.
Sometimes the spider gets too am
bilious and tackles a victim worthy
of his best efforts. A spirited battle
takes place, and the wolf nearly al
ways wins, which is apparently a
great source of satisfaction to him, as
he seems to drag his prey off with an
