Then very determinedly she walked
straight back into the Green Forest.
She even hurried, as if she were try

Perhaps she was. Some of the little

hung on her back Had you met her

trying to get away from even the

and it was all on account Of the chill

So for their Sakes she had overcome

the females are small, round or oval,
and finely Wrinkled.
In the Summer, the ibex's coat is
a soft, lovely gray, and very light
weight. In the Winter, he wears a
light brown coat, which has a warm
wool lining next to the skin.
Close observation of his picture or
himself in person at some geological
garden will impress you at once with
his fitness for mountain climbing. He
is shod with camel-like hoofs-rough-
ened underneath, deeply divided. so
they spread easily and obtain firm
hold on the slippery places. No need
to say he is strong, supple and muScu-
lar. Every line of his body proclaims
it. His beautifully carried head shows
poise and confidence.
Have you noticed the unusual fea-
ture about him; the shortneSS of his
forelegS as compared with the hind
ones? If you ever have the thrill
ing experience of climbing his own be-
loved mountains, you will see how
careful he has to be coming down the
steep slopes. Going up is compare
lively easy. He also has scanty
goatee.
Many wild goats are wrongly called
ibex. There are several distinct spe-
cies recognized by naturalists, among
them the Alpine, Arabian, Abyssinian
and Himalayan as the best known.
The Alpine ibex is the typical form,
but unfortunately sportsmen have al
most wiped them out.
Ibexes are gregarious and like to
herd together, Is to 20 of them in

to pass their later years in solitude

~ LID MRS. POSSUM, carrying
her big family, some Of them
on her back and some of
~ them in her pocket, shuffled
along through the Green Forest. She
had just left Unc' Billy Possum, who
had warned her to keep away from
Farmer Browns cornfield. Now, until
Unc' Billy spoke of that cornfield Mrs
PoSsum hadn't thought of it. 1t was
the last place in the world she would
have considered going to had not Unc'
Billy mentioned it. Now as she
thought about that sweet milky corn
it seemed to her that that was the
one thing she had been wanting, but
didn't know ii. The more she thought
of it the more it seemed to her that
she just must have it, All she could
think about was that corn. 1t was a
whole year since she had had a taste
of any.
She stopped to listen to Bowser
the Hound barking at Bobby Coon
up in a tree some distance away in
the Green Forest. She knew that
BowSer would stay there for some
time. That would mean that there
would be no danger from him over
in that corn. She stopped to con-
slider what Unc' Billy had said about
there being another Dog over there.
She wasn't afraid of Farmer Brown
or Farmer Browns Boy; it would be
easy enough to get away from them
if they should happen to be there A
Dog would be another matter alto
gether. She stopped to listen for
sounds from that cornfield. She heard
none.
"Ah reckon it would be safe enough
10 go over thar now thought she.
Anyway, if All wait awhile it will
be safe enough. All sho'ly want some
of that con. Later it will be too
hard to be good If it wasn't fo' the
chirn All wouldn't hesitate minute.
No, sub, All wouldn't. All would go
straight over to that co'nfield as fast
as my legs could take me-"
Gradually, without really being
aware of the fact: Mrs. POSSum moved
toward the edge of the Green Forest
nearest the cornfield. At last she was
where she could look cut across the
Green Meadows toward the cornfleld.
Gentle Mistress Moon was shining
her brightest. 1t was almost as bright
as day. Mrs. PosSum sat there just
looking for a long time. She saw
nothing and she heard nothing to sug-
gest anything wrong to hint at any
danger. You see. by that time Farmer
Brown and Farmer Browns Boy had
left the cornfeld, taking Flip the

what enthralls South is the fact that
he made three no trumps.
The hand is not a perfect example
of declarer play. The opponents had
to err badly to give South his con-

He put on the four-spot. South, win

the seven from his own hand. A
diamond was played back and the
queen finessed. South could see as
well as you or that the combined
hands counted up to a mere eight
tricks, provided the spade finesse was
on, but he was in there, plugging. The
ten of spades was played through,

South boldly played the jack of
hearts from the North hand. East
went up with the king and West de-
lightedly dropped the nine-spot. East
played the three obediently, and West,
still chuckling over the fact that he
had caught South leading a suit in
which he held only three cards, re-
turned his third heart. After the
smoke had cleared away 1t developed
that East had cashed the fourth
heart, and that South had discarded
the seven of spades from his own
hand and the queen "a potential
winneD from the board.
If South held four diamonds, club
was East'S correct return. If South
held four clubs, a diamond was the
play back. But it was palpably evi-
dent that South could not hold four
clubs Had not West led the suit,
even though he had put his partner in
the middle by failing to return it?
East played back a club. The jack
and ace were cashed, setting up South's
eight-spot, and the losing diamond
was discarded on the ace of spades.
South gave up one trick and got two
back.
East and West, dear old Tories, let
South make six hearts on the next
hand.

nothing to block caucus, said his
idea was that the Senators had been
getting too much consideration and
House members too little.
He added that while he could see
no useful purpose-so far as getting
jobs-that the caucus would serve, 1t
