Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

Reddy Fox really was almost i'll
from the effects of the stings which
old Mrs. Hornet and her family had
given him when he knocked in the
side of their house. For several days
he limped around, his head tied up
and badly swollen. Yes, sir, Reddy
Fox had been in dreadfully bad
way. The worst of 1t was none Of
the other little meadow and forest
people seemed to be in the least
sorry for him. Some of them actu-
ally laughed at him. Peter Rabbit
was one of these. You know Reddy
Fox had made life very uncomfort-
able for Peter for a long time, and
now Peter was actually enjoying
Reddy's discomfort.
Now while he was laid up this way
Reddy had plenty of time to think.
He noticed that when he went out
to walk all those who, when he was
well, kept at safe distance, now
hardly got out of his way. They
knew that he felt too sore and
mean to try to catch them. Peter
Rabbit hardly turned out of his
path. A bright idea came to
Reddy. He would continue to ap-
pear to feel badly even after he
was well. He would keep his head

1T is," replied Reddy with q great
sigh. 1T s very hard work in

in his most sympathetic voice.
Reddy sighed again as he re-
piled, II don't, Peter Rabbit.
don't get enough to eat and I'm
nearly starved this very minute. !"
When he said this such q note of
longing crept into his voice that
Peter instantly grew suspicious.

While he was sorry for Reddy, he
had no desire to make Reddy feel
better by furnishing himself for q
meal. Peter hoped around to the
blind side Of Reddy and turned his
back to him as he inquired for the
health Of old Granny Fox.
Now you know that Peters eyes
are so placed in his head that he
can see behind him without turning
his head. Reddy Fox did not know
this or he had forgotten 1t II he
did know. Very slowly and craftily
the closed eye opened Q wee bit and

bound up and would limp down to
the Smiling Pool for some mud
every day. He would limp just as
he was doing now. Then when
Peter Rabbit came near enough
Reddy would catch him.
So day after day Reddy limped
down to the Smiling Pool. He kept
his head tied up as if it was as bad
as ever, and as he walked he groaned
as If in great pain. Even some of
those who hated him the most be-
gan to feel . little bit sorry for
Reddy Fox. Peter Rabbit has q
Evening star., 1940-06-03

soft heart, very soft heart, and
although he knew that Reddy Fox
would like nothing better than to
gobble him up, Peter began to feel
really sorry for Reddy.
One morning Peter sat just out
side the Old Briar Patch when
Reddy came along. He looked even
more miserable than usual. Just rs
it had been for several days one of
Reddy's eyes was closed.
1T must be hard work to see
with only one eye" said Peter Rab-
bit.

"Ha, hal" shouted Peter. I'D

Reddy Fox just shook his fist ut
Peter Rabbit in the Old Briar Patch
and started Oh home, pulling the

Look at the West hand alone and
decide for yourself whether or not
he should double the slam. Then
see what actually happened.
West opened the ten of clubs, the
safest lead South examined the
dummy and decided that West had
to have the three missing kings for
his double. He won the first trick
in dummy and took the diamond
finesse, losing to Vests king. West
returned another club and South
took the club ace, ran the diamonds
and cashed the ace of hearts.
That left dummy with a spade,
the jack of hearts and four good
clubs. The next step was to run
the clubs. South discarding two
hearts and a spade. West had to
hold the king of hearts, so had to
blank the king of spades. whereupon
South took the ace and queen of
spades to fulfill the slam contract.
If West hadn't doubled South
would not have played the hand so
abnormally; he'd have taken an
other finesse and lost the slam. The
double therefore cost West 2,l10
points-the difference between the
fulfilled slam and a one-trick set.

Answer-Bid four clubs. You need
further information from your part

slam. Score 100 per cent for four
clubs, so per cent for five or six
hearts, for any other bid.
