over the grass and finally put him
down, thinking him dead. He had
put him down right by that back
door. The instant Flip had turned
his head Unc' Billy had scrambled
into the back door. That is why he
was chuckling. The more Flip
barked outside, the more Unc' Billy
inside chuckled. He thought it one
splendid joke.
Suddenly Unc' Billy stopped chuck
ling. He stopped chuckling and cooked
one ear to listen. What was that sound
he heard behind him? At least. 1t
seemed to be behind him. Flip con-
tinued to bark and growl, but Unc'
Billy was certain that he had heard
another growl 1t wasn't Flip's growl
ut all, and 1t certainly had sounded
as If it had come from behind and
below him. You see, all the time Unc'
Billy was facing out. He was facing
the doorway, SO as to see what Flip
might do.
There was that growl again, and
unless Unc' Billy was greatly mistaken
It ended in something like q snarl.
Unc' Billy began to be uneasy. With
Flip outside and some one inside down
below him, Unc' Billy was In q most
uncomfortable position.

He was answered by another snarl-
ing sort Of growl. What do you
mean by coming into my house?" de-
nnanded a cross voice.
Unc' Billy recognized that voice. It
was the voice Of Johnny Chuck. Yes,
sir. 1t was Johnny Chuck's voice. "Ah
didn't know 1t was your house." said
Unc' Billy. mo, sub, All didn't know
1t was your house. All didn't know
any one was living here. All just had
to come in. Don't yo' hear that Dog
out there? That Dog drove me in
here. Yes, sub, had to come in here
to get away from that Dog"
And now you'll have to go out
again to get away from me-" growled
Johnny Chuck. This Is my home
and don't allow any visitors here.
You just go on out about your busi-
ness"
Johnny's voice sounded nearer and
,Unc' Billy suspected that he was COM
ing up that back hall Of his. What
to do? He knew he couldn't fight
Johnny Chuck. At least he knew that
Johnny would be likely to get the
best Of q fight.

establish his heart suit. East ducked
a heart, and declarer, after winning

Marcus won with the ace, and now
made a very tricky play. On normal
defense, he could see that his side
could not possibly win more than
three spades, a heart and diamond.
Hence, he decided to attempt to make
the declarer think he held single
