Bedtime Stories

No one ever forgot the great hunt
through the Green Forest for Unc'
Billy Possum's lost baby. Every
body took part. Happy Jack Squir-
rel, Chatterer the Red Squirrel,
Striped Chipmunk,> Johnny Chuck,
Jimmy Skunk, Danny Meadow
Mouse, Bobby Coon, Whitefoot the
Wood Mouse, even old Mr.. Toad.
Billy Mink and Little Joe Otter
came up from the Smiling Pool.
Sammy Jay and Blacky the Crow,
who seldom do anything for any
one but themselves, helped in the
great hunt. You see, they had all
learned to think a great deal of
Unc' Billy Possum.
They looked in hollow logs and
old logs. They peeked under rocks
and behind old stumps. Every place
that they could think of where
Baby Possum might hide was look
ed into, but not a trace. of the lost
baby could they find. Every once

Peter Rabbit, never once losing
sight of Reddy, but keeping out of
sight himself. Suddenly Reddy
lifted his nose and shifted. Then
he shifted again. He had reached
the end of the trail and he could
smell the baby possum himself!
Peter Rabbit saw Reddy stop and
look up in a black birch tree.
Peter looked, too. What he saw

appeared to have no interest at
all in the search, but the minute
he thought he was alone, down went
his sharp little nose to the ground
and he ran swiftly this way and
that way, hunting for the tracks
of the lost baby possum.
For a while Reddy was badly
puzzled, for you see he found the
tracks made by the seven Possum
children when they had been playing
about with their mother. But by

Reddy Fox didn't know it. Peter
Babbit had guessed what was in
Reddy's heart and he knew just
how keen Reddy's nose is. So
Peter had made up his mind that
Reddy would be the one likely to
find Unc' Billy Possum's lost baby,
and that when he did-Peter didn't
like to think what would happen.
So Peter patiently followed Reddy
Fox, dodging from tree to tree, 50
that Reddy would not see him. He
heard Reddy yelp when he found the

track that led away from the others.
Reddy gave little yelp Of delight
and began to gallop along the trail.
And as he ran his mouth watered,
for he was thinking Of what good
dinner he would find at the end of
the trail. The more he thought Of
it the faster he hurried, for he
was dreadfully afraid that some one
else would find the lost baby.
Now, all the time Peter Rabbit

PaSS Pass
The bidding indicated to West
that Norths belated entry into the
bidding betokened distributional
support for spades rather than high
card strength. Since South's bid
ding also indicated an unbalanced
hand, West set out at once to stop
the cross-ruff by leading trump.
This was the killing" lead, for
South needed eight trump tricks to
make his contract. He could not
get his cross-ruff started without
losing the lead in diamonds, and
then another trump lead held him
to dummy's five trumps and two
ruffs of his own.
Observe, however, what happens
II West carelessly opens the king of
diamonds. Even if he then shifts to
trump, 1t is too late. Dummy wins
and returns a diamond for South to
ruff. Declarer next cashes the two
high clubs, and then South's small
clubs and dummy's diamonds are
cross-ruffed. Two heart tricks are
eventually surrendered, but South
makes his 10 tricks.
