he went out for his usual morning
walk. He was sure of it. He peeped
in at his doorway and shifted. Some
one had been in there, too.
Hello, Whitefoot!" shouted Striped

on tiptoe.
Whitefoot jumped so that he lost

those who are big enough not to fear
him. He is so slim and short of
legs that he can slip into almost
any hole that little people like
Striped Chipmunk or Danny Meadow
Mouse or Whitefoot can.
Whitefoot was thinking Of this as
he sat with his hands in his pockets
and wondered what he had best do.
1t certainly wouldn't do to stay
there. Shadow the Weasel might
catch him asleep. With a sigh
Whitefoot arose and went into his
house In the hollow log. He hlled

Whitefoot grew pale at the very
thought. ''You-you don't suppose
that Shadow the Weasel is anywhere
around, do you?" he whispered.

Chipmunk, "and don't care. No,
sir, don't care, for he doesn't know

You take my advice and the next

Well, I must skip along now. Look

Whitefoot was more uneasy than
ever. He trotted along the wee,
wee path, which he had made just
for his own use, and looked for foot
prints. BY and by he found one,
and just for a second his heart
stopped beating. It was-yes, there
could be no mistake, 1t was the foot
print of Shadow the Weasel.
Whitefoot was sure now that
Shadow the Weasel had visited his
house, and If he had been there
once and found no one at home he
certainly would come again. You
see, Shadow the Weasel Is . robber

started out to look for a new home.
And as he slowly travelled he kept
thinking of Striped Chipmunk' adj
vice. But how could he build
home so that no one would find it?
A sudden noise behind him made
him stop to listen. Then he ran up
to the branch of a pine tree, fronf
which he could look back to his old
home. Some one was just coming
out Of his doorway. It was-yes, 1t
was Shadow the Weasel.

"A psychic lead-directing bid.
West opened the jack Of dia-

and now East played the deuce,
since he could not afford to let 60

as a signal to shift and played a
spade. Declarer won with the 10

played the king. West winning with

the king of clubs. Declarer won
with the ace in dummy and now
drew trumps. West, who had to
make two discards, promptly let go
of both his small hearts, whereupon
declarer, with only one heart left
against him, simply claimed the
rest of the tricks.
If West had defended correctly
he would have continued diamonds
after the opening lead. East would
have won the second diamond and
shifted to club. Then, If declarer
misguessed the heart, he might
actually have been set on the hand.
