gone away without discovering her.
Anyway, that is the way it appeared
to Longbill. AS a matter of fact,
Farmer Browns Boy had seen Mrs.
Longbill, but had kept her secret
Later, when the boys and the Dog
had left the little swamp, Mrs. Long
blu joined Longbill. Il don't know
how you did it. I really don't, my
dear. I couldn't have, had I been
tn your place" said Longbill.
'I had to, or they would have found
those eggs" replied Mrs. Longbill.
Il have suspicion that one of them
did see me, but I'm not sure. If he
did. he is friend to be trusted, for
he kept the secret. Now you better
get over on those eggs while I get a
bite to eat
Thus it was that the Longbills
kept their secret from all but Farmer
Browns Boy, and there were plenty
Of others who would try to find it.
One Of these was Peter Rabbit. He
had no reason but curiosity for try
ing to find that secret. 1t was none
of his business and he knew it, but
somehow he couldn't keep away from
that little swamp, and when he was

there he couldn't help hunting for that
nest.
II know they have a nest" said he to
himself. II never see more than one
of them at a time, and that means
that the other is on the nest. I would
like to find it, just for the satisfaction
of knowing where it is"
Peter even asked Longbill where
that nest was and was promptly told
that it was none of his business. He
had the same answer from Mrs. Long
bill. This made him the more de-
termined to find that nest. He poked
his wabbly little nose into all sorts
of places without success. He took
to watching the Longbills, spying on
them whenever he saw one of them
and thought himself unobserved.
That wasn't at all wise, was it? But
all his hunting and spying was in
vain. Mr.. and Mrs. Longbill kept
their secret
Two or three times Peter had vis-
tied the little dry mound where the
clump Of young birches grew and had
sat within a foot or two of that nest,
1t hadn't entered that funny head of
his that the Longbills would select
that kind of place for a nest. He
was so accustomed to finding them
in low, damp places that he took it
for granted that it was in some such
place the nest would be, and he
searched all the low, damp places in
that little swamp. Of course the
reason he so often found Longbill or
Mrs. Longbin in such places was
because only where the ground was
damp and soft could they bore into
it with their long bills after the worms
on which they lived.
Once more Peter visited that drv
mound, and this time when he sat
down he all but sat right on Mrs.
Longblll. For second or two she
had thought he was going to. For a
long time Mrs. Longbill had resent
ed Peters curiosity.
IF he ever does happen to find
this nest it will be no secret any
longer" she had said to Longbill.
"Oh, Peter doesn't mean any harm,''
Longbill had replied.
THE people who don't mean any
harm are the very ones who do the
most HARM" Mrs. Longbill had re-
torted
Now here was Peter, so close that
she could touch him. Mrs. Longbill
had sudden impulse. She drew
back her head Swiftly and hard she
jabbed Peter in the back with that
long bill of hers. 1t hurt Peter, but
it frightened him more. He made
frantic bound, another and another
Then he turned to look back. Ye
could see no one. 1t was very mys-
terious. He didn't like it. After that
Peter kept away from that little
| clump of birches.

The bidding was fairly interesting
South was justified in doubling four
hearts with four probable tricks and
his partner was entirely correct in
rescuing him with his trickless hand.
West opened the king of clubs,
whereupon declarer, after winning
with the ace, ruffied his two losing
clubs and drew trumps. Declarer then
led heart, East winning with the
ten and playing the ace Now East
made the fatal error of playing the
third round of hearts, as this stripped
both declarer and dummy of every
thing except diamonds and trumps,
and when West won the first diamond
lead with the queen, he was in the
helpless position of either leading
into the diamond tenace or leading
an off suit that would allow declarer
to ruff dummy and discard his losing
diamond
Instead of playing the third heart,
East should have led diamond. De-
clarer would naturally duck, and
after winning with the queen, West
could play his exit card-the third
heart. Declarer would then have had
to lose another trick in diamonds
East's error was inexcusable, as no
great imagination was required to
visualize the strip-play possibilities of
the hand.

regret Shafroth had resigned, said the

Speech Is Recalled.
Officials recalled that the first hint
of any widespread tax avoidance came
from Shafroth last Spring. He said
in an address that various plans of
tax avoidance or evasion are being
quietly advertised to large
taxpayers
Foreign holding companies, he as
serted, frequently were formed on
small and obscure islands" for pur-
poses of tax avoidance. Much testi-
mony on this plan later was given the
congressional committee by other in
ternal revenue officials.
In mis- talk Shafroth asserted that
lit is our settled policy to resist to
the utmost all schemes wherein the
taxpayer seeks apparently to wipe out
his income and avoid a tax merely
by going through lot of motions and
formalities.
"All such schemes will be fought
