Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Old Granny Fox was not feeling
we'll. For three days she had been
unable to go out hunting, and for
three days Reddy Fox had tried to
find something to tempt Granny's
appetite. He had brought in a
tender young chicken from Farmer
Browns hen yard and he had stolen
a plump trout from Billy Minks
storehouse, but Granny had just
turned up her nose.

Now, Reddy Fox is very fond Of
Granny Fox and when she said
that she needed a tender young
rabbit Reddy made up his mind
that he would get it for her, though
how he was going to do it he didn't
know. Dozens of times he had
tried to catch Peter Rabbit and
every time Peters long legs had
taken him to a place of safety.
"I'll just have to fool Peter Rabbit" :"
said Reddy Fox, as he sat on his
door steps and looked over the
Green Meadows.
Reddy Fox is very sly. He is 50
sly that it is hard work to be sure
when he is honest and when he Is
playing a trick. AS he sat on his
door steps looking across the Green
Meadows he saw the Merry Little
Breezes coming his way. Reddv
smiled to himself. When they got
near enough he shouted at them.
will you do something for me?"
he asked.
"Of course, we WILL" shouted the
Merry Little Breezes, who are al
ways delighted to do something for
others.
II wish you would find Peter
Rabbit and tell him that I have
found a new bed of tender young
carrots in Farmer Browns garden
and invite him to go there with
me tomorrow morning at sunup,"
said Reddy Fox.
Away raced the Merry Little
Breezes to find Peter Rabbit and
give him the invitation of Reddy
Fox. Pretty soon back they came
to tell Reddy that Peter Rabbit
would be delighted to meet Reddy
and go with him to get some tender
young carrots. Reddy smiled to
himself, for now he was sure that
he would get Peter Rabbit for
Granny's breakfast.
Early the next morning at sun.
up, Reddy Fox started down the
Lone Little Path and hurried across
the Green Meadows to the old briar

He says they are the finest young
carrots that he ever tasted" said
the Merry Little Breeze.
The heart of Reddy Fox was filed
with rage, but he did not let the
Merry Little Breeze know it. He
just smiled and sent the Merry Little
Breeze back to Peter Rabbit to tell
him how glad he was that Peter en-
1oyed the carrots, and to invite
Peter to meet him the next morning

him and heard him you would never
have suspected how ill-tempered
he was feeling.
peter Rabbit asked me to come
and tell you that he is very sorry
that he could not meet you at the
briar patch this morning, but that
he grew so hungry thinking Of those

very best suit of cloths and very
smart and handsome he looked.
When he reached the old briar
patch he could see nothing of Peter
Rabbit. He waited and waited and
waited, but still Peter Rabbit did
not come. Finally he gave 1t up
and decided that he would go over
and have a look at the young car

found near the old hickory tree.
The Merry Little Breeze danced
of with the message and pretty
soon he was back to say that Peter
Rabbit would be delighted to go to
the sweet clover bed the next
morning.
Reddy grinned to himself as he
trudged on home. "I'll just be at

were Peter Rabbits.
Reddy Fox ground his teeth and
snarled wickedly, for he knew then
that instead of fooling Peter Rabbit,
Peter Rabbit had fooled him. Just

The bidding was quite good, al
though a slam could be arrived at
in several other ways. West opened
the eight of s2ades. Mr.. Malowan
won in dummy and now made the
normal play of going after trumps.
When East showed out on the Sec
ond lead, he realized he had sure
trump loser and now could make
his contract only by breaking the
clubs three-three and successfully
finessing for the queen.
Mr.. Malowan decided to play East
for the club queen, and then saw
that he had one additional chance.
Accordingly, he ran out the rest Of
the trumps, West winning the last
lead with the ten-spot. The fifth
trump lead squeezed East. His first
three discards had been a low dia-
mond and two spades. His fourth
discard had to be club. West led
a spade. Mr.. Malowan won with
dummy's ace, played the king Of
clubs and another club, flnessing for
East's queen, and made his contract.
