That old fellow has watched me so
much that he knows all about me and
my ways" thought he. but i don't
know anything about him, except that
he is cross and can kick harder than
ever want to be kicked again. II I
knew more about him and his ways I
might better know how to keep out ~
his way. He has spied on me, so now /
will do the same thing 10 him"
So the next time he discovered Old
jed Thumper lying in wait for him
he stole away softly, so softly that Old
Jed didn't know that he had been
about. He stole away and hurried,
hpperty, hpperty, lip, straight for that
part Of the Old Pasture where he
thought Old Jed Thumper lived. When
he found a measuring and rubbing
tree that smelled Of Old Jed far above
the highest point he could reach, even
though ne stood on his toes and
stretched as far as he could, he knew
that he had found the place.
He is so intent on catching me
back there that he won't be back right
away, so I will have time to look
around" said Wigglenose to himself
This is his rubbing tree. I suppose ]
was foolish to rub on 1t, for II he
comes back soon and visits this tree
he will know I have been here. II he
does find II out, what a fit he viii
havel" Wigglenose chuckled.
Now I must try to find where he
sleeps and his favorite bramble tangles
and what paths he uses most and
what good hiding places there are and
everything else can. 1t may be USE
! ful some time"
So Wigglenose began exploring. fol-
lowing the little paths that Old Jed
Thumper had made. They led to some
splendid bramble tangles, the finest
tangles Wigglenose had yet seen. Paths
were cut through them In various d.
rec.ions. One bramble tangle was &C
big that Just exploring 1t took quite a
while. In IL he found one of Old Jed
Thumper's forms. A Rabbits form Is
you know, the place where he sits
much Of the time when he is not rum
ming about. BY so doing he makes a
little depression In the grass or among
the leaves.
When he found that form wiggIe-

was Old Jed Thumper's home. and he

learned Just where the entrances TO II

Cardinal Virtues of Bidding.

TT WAS admitted by the medieval
philosophers that mans soul was
In a pretty bad way, what with
4 these seven sins constantly Squab-
bling for 1t. There was a ray
Of hope amid the gloom. however;
seven cardinal virtues-one to take
care Of each sin, Meekness, charity,
abstinence. chastity, industry, gen.
erosity and patience.
1t occurs to me that We could well
make Use Of meekneSs, charity, gen.
erosity and patience at the bridge
table. I take it for granted, however,
that you do. And here are the seven
cardinal virtues In bidding, which
should make you a welcome partner
in any gathering.
First. Believing your partner in
stead of the opponents.
Good opponents will usually try to
annoy you with psychics of one sort
or another. A good partner, however,
pays no attention to them unless the
prospects of large set seem evident.
/ was playing rubber bridge recently
and opened the bidding in dealer posi-
ton with a heart. Second hand dou-
bled; my partner redoubled. Fourth
hand bid two clubs. bid three hearts
and second hand bid three no trumps.
Paying no attention to second hand,
my partner, holding the following, bid
seven hearts:
SPADES @ Jl0xx Diamonds
Hearts AK Clubs A K 10 x
From my skip bid my partner could
read my hand as being the king-queen

of hearts six times, the ace Of dia-
monds, the ace of spades and either
the king of spades or the king OF
diamonds. 1t so happened that I
held the king of spades, making the
slam lay-down.
Sect nd. Giving your information
on the inStallment plan.
I am against bidding the full
strength Of your hand on the first
response BY so doing you are unable
to test out slam bidding while you
are still below the level Of game. For
that reason I utilize the leeway prin-
ciple. For example-one spade, three
spades. My partner must now bid
for game, but ! give him an oppor-
tunity to bid three no trumps, or,
trying for slam. to bid four clubs,
diamonds or hearts. If I don't like
his slam try can sign of with four
spades.
Third. knowledge OF when to
bid no trump instead of a suit.
When it seems evident that you
must be the declarer because of ten
ace positions or guarded kings in
your hand, you allow for possible
three no-trumps contract by bidding
the no trump yourself. Subsequently
you show your partner your suit. Now
yov will be the declarer, whether the
hand is played in no trump or at
your suit.
Fourth. Placing the declaration in
the correct hand.
This is a branch of virtue No. 3.
If you have dummy type of hand,
you bid shaded suits in order to force
your partner to bid the no trumps.
Fifth. knowledge of when to dou-
BILE for business.
Your doubling, just like your bid
ding, often depends more on distri-
button than on primary tricks. Nat
urally, you must be good defensive
player in order to have your doubles
make. The knowledge of when not to
double is often a greater asset than
the knowledge of when to double.
have devoted many articles to the
sucker slam double.
Sixth. Correct use Of strategic, de-
ductive and distributional doubles.
Seventh. Bidding a slam with q
part score.
have put this In the seven cardinal
virtues, simply because it is so diff
cult. Most players either bid the
slam when they shouldn't or don't bid

of noises that you decide there
4 is a bird convention going on
and that there Is a difference of
opinion among them. Creep closer
and you will see one occupant of
the copse He is the busiest noise
maker you ever saw. His queer twist
ing and turning, as he makes these
various calls, whistles, clucks and
whatnot. are amazing. He acts as
If he had an attack Of st. Vitus
| dance.
When he Is wooing the modest
young yellow-chat maiden he is a
clown of no mean ability. He can
do the most intricate OF somerSaults
and stunts that are unusual He can
twist his feathers into punches as
he sends his uncanny cries through
the thick bushes.
The "rollicking polyglot" does all
his stunts for the fair lady he wishes
to wed. If you enter his domain he
becomes shy and suspicious and talks
to you from a hidden place in no
uncertain terms. Chut, chut," he
calls, as long as you remain.
When once you see this largest
member of the warbler family you
can hardly believe that 1t is he alone
| that has been sending forth the jum-
BILE Of chuckleS, whistles, quacks,
chucks, whineS and parts Of songs.
The yellow breasted chat far sur
passes the mockingbird and the cat
bird, who are clever mimics them
selves, in many ways. But the chat
has the power of throwing his voice
| like a human ventriloquist, into cor
ners, trees, bushes. The little clown
spends much of his time making un-
canny noises appear to come from
every spot in the nearby surround
ings.
: His mate apparently enjoys his
vocal feats as we'll as his clown
| like stunts. She Is sitting in a
crotch of a slender tree. upon rather
| bulky nest. 1t has been woven of
course grasses, with leaves and bark.
1t is well lined with soft grasses.
| There are from three to five eggs,
white with specks and spots of rufous-
brown. They hatch in IL TO is days
and there Is one brood each year
The parents supply them with wee
| insects and bit of fruit until they
can get them for themselves.
The yellow w-breasted chat weds for
life. While he spends most of his
time fooling others, he is truly Iowa
BILE and faithful to his wife. IL Is
such fun to fool him. When he is
disturbed he goes silent and, with
the exception Of "Whew! Whew!'
he utters not a sound. Sit down
where he cannot see you and remain
for a while With bill uplifted, tail
dropping, wings fiuttering, he rises
into the air, trailing his legs, stork-
fashion, as he goes higher and higher
1t is said that many of his stunts
are to guide enemies away from his

home and family. Whatever his mo-
tive, he Is clown well worth
watching.
On moonlight nights he has habit
of giving concert, If you can clas-
sify his weird calls and whistles as
that. This looks as If 1t were for
the express purpose of Turing night
providers from his preserves.
In case you do not know this famous
ventriloquist, look for warbler that
is over an inch longer than the
English sparrow. He will be garbed
in a uniform of olive green above,
with throat, breast and underside
of wings bright, clear yellow. This
been called the yellow mockingbird.
His sides and underparts win be
white to grayish-white. There is a
white line over each eye, reaching
to the base of the bill and forming
partial eye-ring. There is also
a white line on the side of his throat.
His bill and feet are black.
This famous entertainer and per-
former of the silent woods arrives
in early May and leaves in Septem-
Der. His range is from Ontario to
Central America, and westward to
the plains. You will see more OF
them in the Middle Atlantic States
than anywhere else. In the Winter
they go to Pueblo and Yucatan to
Costa Rica.
The yellow-breasted chat is an in
sect destroyer. Especially does his
appetite crave some OF our most
injurious insect enemies. Therefore,
in hunting for him this Simmer re-
member you are becoming acquainted
with trustworthy friend. Be sure
and keep an account of all the birds

Old Jed had lived so long in the

another Rabbit there. So when he

his mind TO drive him out, even though

where Wigglenose had made his home.
He couldn't catch Wigglenose in q

the Old Pasture. But Wigglenose
stuck. Yes, sir, he stuck. He had
made up his mind that he wouldn't
be driven out, not by another Rabbit,
anyway. He soon discovered that Old
Jed knew all his runways and hiding
places, and 1t was only by being con-
stantly on watch that he kept out of
Old Jed's reach. When he slept 1t
was with one eye open, as the saying
is, ready to run at the first hint of
danger. When he ate 1t was by snatch
ing a mouthful and then sitting up to
watch while he ate it.
The more Old Jed worried him the
more Wigglenose determined to stay.
Hell grow tired Of 1t some day and
leave me in peace" thought he. ANY
way, I'm growing all the time, and
some day will be big enough to fight
him. Then, perhaps, I'll drive him out
Of the Old Pasture" That was such a
pleasing thought that it made him
more determined than ever to stay.
And then he had another idea,

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.

Why Do We Call the Cat Tabby? 2
THAT sleek, purringt domestic ami
NAL that loves to lie outstretched
on any comfortable rug would open
wide its eyes with amazement If it
were told that it is called "Tabby"
after an Oriental prince, Attab, great
grandson of Omeyya, yet that in
dubitably is how it started.
Directly we have the word "tabby"
from the Arabic "Attabi," which is
the name of a quarter in Bagdad
famed for it's manufacture Of watered
or moire silk.
This silk is wavy and undulating in
appearance; and it is from this cir
cumstance that brindled or striped
cats came to be called "tabby" cats.
subsequently, the term was popularity
applied to cats of diversified color, and
then to all cats.

The Old Gardener Says :

The proper clipping Of grass
has much to 90 with keeping q
lawn in good condition. The
grass is likely 70 grow very slowly
at this season Of the year, es-
pecially when there is light rain
fall. and 1t is not necessary TO
use the lawn mower so frequently
as in the Spring. Close clipping
must be guarded against. as 1t
reduces the vitality Of the grass.
The safe rule 10 follow is to keep
the grass at a height OF about
. inches. In any event the lawn
mower should be used often
enough SO that there viii be no
necessity of raking the clippings,
because the clippings. If left on
the ground. serve as 8 mulch and
| at the same time fertilize the soil
