in reaching the end of the dam. In
his turn he looked this way and
looked that way, but he was look
ing for a different purpose. He was
looking to make sure that no dan

all his might and at the same time
tested the air with his nose. Paddy's
ears and nose are better than his
eyes and he depends more on them.
Satisfied that all was safe, Paddy
led the way a few steps along the

travels on land when he can get to
a place by swimming. He is one OF
the flrmest believers in safety

safe in the water, but not always
safe on land.

Bedtime Stories
BY Fontoine Fox
BY THORNTON w. BURGES!

Peter Rabbit was filled with mixed
feelings. In the first place, he was
bubbling over with curiosity. Then
he was little afraid, after all that
Paddy the Beaver had said. You re-
member Paddy had told Peter that
there was a stranger in the Green
Forest and that the wisest thing
Peter could do would be to 60
straight home to the Dear Old Briar
Patch and keep away from the
Green Forest. But though he knew
that Paddy was in earnest and
meant every word Of what he said,
Peter couldn't make up his mind to

do this until he had learned more
about this dangerous stranger in
the Green Forest. Paddy had ad-
mitted that he hadn't seen this
stranger, but he had seen signs of
him and these signs told him quite
all he needed in order to know.
But Peter is like a lot of people;
he wants to see things for himself.
He didn't doubt Paddy, but he
wanted to see those signs. So Paddy
had agreed to show Peter some
thing.
Run across my dam to the other
end and wait for me there" said
Paddy.

RUFFING AS AN ENTRY

USUALLY ruffing is done to get
rid of the losing card which is
ruffed. Sometimes its more i'm
portant function Is to act as an
entry to a hand which otherwise
cannot get the lead. There are
times when a trump finesse must
be avoided because it risks the loss
Of a crucial trump which is the
only possible entry to- the dummy.

try to the dummy to play the dia-

give up two club tricks.
His correct procedure on the
third trick was to have played the
spade A, as from the lead he
should deduce that the finesse was
likely to lose. The clubs A and K
should then have been cashed and
the lone trump in dummy used to
ruff club. On the diamond A the
remaining club could have been
tossed. so that the losing tricks
would have been limited to two
hearts and spade.
