Saxon nobility which retained power

The first known ancestor was Othere

him assumed the name of Windsor
and became very powerful under
Norman rule, even intermarrying with
the royal line itself.
In the earliest times the name was
spelled WindeSore. We find that VIII

manor Of Molesford in Berkshire and
succeeded his father as warden OF
Windsor Castle.

"HIS name Is misleading. as so
many names are for Natures
children. The animal Is rather
i a goat-like antelope, and Is
more nearly related to the Al
pine chamois and the Himalayan Sc
row.
As he has been called the Rocky
Mountain goat, we will have to know
this interesting climber by this name.
He Is Q sturdy creature with short,
stout legs and weighs over $50 pounds.
His hoofs are wonderfully adapted for
climbing and are said to be "of an
ingenious combination of rubber pad
inside aud knife edge outside, to hold
the owner equally well on ice, snow
or bare rock" Both sexes have horns.
They are as Jet black as the hoofs.
For about one-hah Of the lengths,
which is about 10 inches, the horns
are rough at the lower half and
smooth toward the tip. The animal
Is about three feet at the shoulder.
The fleece Of the Rocky Mountain
goat Is wholly yellowish-white and,
Ike the coat covering the musk-ox,
consists Of very soft, fine wool next to
the skin with long, straight hair for
the outer coat. This hair Is erect
along the back line and SO much
longer over the shoulders and rump
that the animal appears to be double
hump -shouldered. From the color of
the fleece 1t has been called the white
goat.

the club king would only remove one.
AS against this, if partner lacks the
king of clubs, it is impossible to find
out about the king of spades with
safety. OF course, if you are an in
durable optimist, you may say to your
self: Il will bid three hearts; partner
will say three no trumps; will probe
in clubs: he will hold both black kings
and reply with four spades. Then
can bid seven hearts" True; also,
there will be no trouble If he has the
king of clubs but not the king of
spades. Three hearts, three no
trumps, four clubs, five clubs deny
ing the spade), five hearts-an easy
and safe signoff. knowledge that you
can get into dummy by means of the
club king would permit you to gamble
a small slam on the success of
fnesse in spades if you were in good
form and cared to do so. Or again,
if it goes-three hearts, four dia-
monds, four hearts, now your partner
should bid four no trumps if he holds
both unbid kings. However, the fact
is that to give you small slam, you
need just one specific card-the king
of spades, which is the key to the
hand. If he has that card without
the king of clubs, how can you find it
out without endangering your sure
game In case he must deny this par
ticular one out of 80 cards? If he
lacks the king of clubs, a probe in
spades can only be answered at the
level of five. The king of clubs Is
the key to the safe bidding of the
hand, though the king of spades is
the key to its play.
The Other Alternative.
Frankly. I am not certain which
Is the best treatment for this hand.
I have explained the possibilities if
you make an opening three-bid.
There is another alternative-to make
an opening two-bid. I think that I
personally would choose this treat
ment, though I do not lay down the
law on 1t or say that it is necessarily
the better tool to select. BY opening
with a two-bid, am enabling my
partner possibly to make a natural
response, which is really what we need
here. Let us try to plot our moves in
advance. I bid two hearts. The
response is:
(a) Two no trumps. Three hearts
by me, three no trumps or four
hearts. Now I resign myself to play
ing at four hearts
(b) Three diamonds, the most

he can bid a second suit. would,
If so, slam in his second suit as, II
hearts were trurnps; I could probably
not get to his hand to finesse in that
black suit, of which he may we'll lack
the king. If he had the ace of dia-
monds and his black suit. which
had jumped to six, were headed by
the K J or even K 10, he could well
bill seven He does not know am
void Of diamonds. but he knows my
rebid hearts are pretty solid, and will
give him discards of his losers.
(c) Three spades or three clubs.
Now I know he has a FIVE card suit
headed by the king Il have both
queens myself) or a six-card suit. I
will bid seven in his suit in rubber
play, knowing that if he has xxx
x X, he will have a finesse and
drop for it; If K j xxx or K 10
xxx. or K xxxxx, it is laydown
In duplicate, I might gamble on its
being flve-card suit, and therefore
headed by the king, and bid seven
hearts, for the honor.
Cd Three no trumps. This Is
natural response, showing two entries
in high cards One is likely to be
black king. I bid four diamonds. an
irregular bid which he cannot read
as a cue; he will read cue for the ace
unless he has it. He must bid again
as We are still below game. If he does
not raise diamonds. my next bid is
seven hearts, gambling on his having
both black kings, or one of them and
flnesse. The opening lead should
help. If he raises diamonds, I bid
six hearts: if he goes seven diamonds.
as is quite probable now, go seven
hearts and say prayer.
These are the two possible treat
ments to select from. I have given
you the methods. Do your own think

ward throughout British Columbia,
whore they were at one time so plen-
tiful, they are becoming very scarce.
Amid the grandest and widest seem
cry above the timber line, and cross
ing the precipices that rise almost
straight up for many hundreds of feet,
this goat dwells in supreme content,
monarch Of all he surveys.
Sportsmen will go to any length to
follow these dauntless climbers. They
are always just beyond the reach of
their bullets. Standing on a peak,
the animal scans the landscape He
can see the small speck that is slowly
moving toward him. Utterly indiffer-
ent. he watches the hunter toll up the
steep slopes, knowing full well that
a jump or two from crag to crag will
put him safely out Of reach Of the
enemy seeking him.
Often the goat will let the hunter
come close to his peak. Then, when
the climber Is lost to sight behind a
mountain cliff. the goat gives a leap
or two and when the toiling sports
man comes again into sight, he re-
alizes his animal is several miles out
Of his reach again.
Depending upon the lichens and
MOSES that grow In between the crew
, ices Of the rocks, the mountain goats
dc not descend to the lowlands for
food. There are few times that goats
are to be seen in flocks. Except at
mating times these creatures travel
alone. The young are born in the
Spring and remain with their parents
until they are year old.
Rocky Mountain goats do not seem
to resent being held captive. They do
insist on climbing over the roofs OF
their homes and over the piles OF
debris to be found about their dwell
ings. No matter how slippery or sharp
! the incline, they never fall. The food
given to them consists Of the best clo-
yer hay, crushed oats, sliced carrots
and chopped apples.
The skin Of this animal was for
nlerly greatly appreciated by the In
| dians. who made the fleece into
| blankets. OF late years the Indians
have bought their blankets or re-
ceived them from the Government.
