age. The driver recovered the wheel

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Reddy Fox had called Unc' Billy
Possum a coward. Now that is q
very dreadful thing to call any one,
for no one respects a coward. But
Unc' Billy Possum had just grinned
and then he had dropped down from
the tree beside Reddy Fox and had
invited Reddy to wait for Bowser
the Hound, who was coming down
the hill. Reddy didn't know what
to do. There was Bowser in plain
sight, and Reddy was afraid, very
much afraid. But if he should run
before Unc' Billy Possum did he
would prove that he was the coward.
And, Of course, all the little people
Of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows would know all about it,
for Peter Rabbit and Jimmy Skunk
had heard Unc' Billy, and at that
very minute were watching from
safe hiding places.
Evening star., 1940-04-16

Bow, WOW, wow!" roared Bowser
the Hound in his deepest voice.
Reddy shivered and began to back
away. Unc' Billy just grinned.
what makes yo' alls so uneasy?"
he asked.
Bow, WOW, wow!" roared Bowser
again and began to run straight
toward them, with his mouth wide
open.
Reddy could stand 1t no longer.
TILL really would like to stay with
you, Mr.. Possum, but Granny Fox
is waiting for me and simply e6n-

not stay any longer. Granny
wouldn't like it." Reddy shouted
the last words over his shoulder as
he started for the Green Meadows
at the top Of his speed.
"Now who's a coward?" shouted
Peter Rabbit and Jimmy Skunk
together. Reddy Fox gritted his
teeth, but he kept right on running.
He didn't even turn to see what
became Of Unc' Billy Possum.
Now when Reddy started to run
Unc' Billy might have climbed q
tree, but he didn't. What do you
think hs did7 Why he Just fell over
Evening star., 1940-04-16

in heap right in front of Bowser
the Hound! Jimmy Skunk almost
stopped breathing when he saw him
fall, and Peter Rabbit clapped both
hands over his eyes as Bowser the
Hound stopped by Unc' Billy Pos
sum. He didn't want to see what
was going to happen to Unc' Billy.
Bowser the Hound stopped and
shifted at Unc' Billy.
whats this? What's this?" said
Bowser, for he had never seen Unc'
Billy Possum before.
Unc' Billy lay there Just as If he
were dead. Yes, sir; there didn't

seem to be any life in Unc' Billy at
all. He lay there with his eyes
closed and just as limp as a rag.
Bowser rolled him over and pulled
him this way and pushed him that
way, but still Unc' Billy didn't move.
Huh! Must have frightened him
to death" said Bowser. I'll go on
and teach that Reddy Fox lesson
and then I'll come back and take this
fellow home to show my master"
So with one more sniff Bowser the
Hound started on after Reddy Fox.
Peter Rabbit and Jimmy Skunk
came out Of their hiding places and

Rabbit, and shed few tears.
Don't drop salt water all over

Peter wiped his eyes.
Peter was so startled that he al.
most knocked Jimmy Skunk over.
There lay Unc' Billy grinning at him
and slowly winking one eye.

Unc' Billy as he scrambled to his
feet. And to this day Bowser the
Hound wonders what became Of Unc'

west opened the ace of hearts,
which South trumped Having at
least two diamond losers, declarer
decided to place all his eggs in one
basket and gamble on the trump
finesse. He therefore led a club to
dummy, then took the spade finesse,
whereupon the fireworks started.
West won with his blank king and
returned a club, which East trumped.
A diamond return was won by
Vests ace and East then obtained
another ruff. East then played the
diamond queen and South had to
lose another diamond trick.
South was down three tricks for
1,000-point penalty, whereas
little caution would have given him
his redoubled contract. When he
played a club to dummy and Easts
10 dropped, declarer should have
realized that it was a singleton.
Furthermore, since West had
doubled the contract, the proba-
blllties were that he held the king
OF trumps. This being the case,
South, simply to hold down his
losses, should have gone up with
the spade ace, intending to exhaust
trumps as quickly as possible. Play
ing the hand safely to hold the
penalty down to as little as possible.
South would have caught Vests
blank king and made his contract.
