I'm not trying to defend my
spade bid Il sat North), but l should
explain that paid more respect to
the vulnerable double than to my
partners third-hand bid. OF course,
when my partner jumped to three
diamonds 7 realized that our side
had the strength. Was there any,
thing I could have done from then
on to reach the slam?"
Yes; there were two things North
might have done. After South had
jumped to three diamonds, North
should have realized that South had
at least 10 cards in the minor suits
and was most unlikely to have good
support for hearts. So North might
have jumped to five clubs right over
three diamonds. Then, at least,
South would have known his part
ner had real club fit with fair
high-card strength, and with that
knowledge South might have bid the
slam.
Better yet, North could have bid
the slam all by himself. How bad
hand could South have for his
opening club bid and jump rebid in
diamonds? Even his actual hand
was little enough Git may even have
been a slight "stretchD, but was
sufficient for slam. So North could
have bid as he did up to his final
bid: at that point he should have

Answer-Bid two spades. There is
no need to raise hearts at once,
since you have indicated at least
neutral support for the suit by pass
ing the double of one heart. Also,
there is no need to jump-bid, since
your double has shown a strong
hand and your partners bidding in
dicates fair strength. Both of you
should be quite confident of getting
to at least a game contract.
Score 100 per cent for two spades,

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

Lightfoot the deer was unhappy
1t was strange unhappiness, an
unhappiness such as he had never
known before. You see, he had
discovered that there was a stranger
in the Green Forest, stranger OF
his own kind, another deer. He knew
it by dainty footprints in the mud
along the Laughing Brook and on
the edge of the pond of Paddy the
Beaver. He knew it by other signs
which he ran across every now ana
then. But search as he would he was
unable to find that newcomer. He
had searched everywhere. but always
he was lust too late. The stranger
had gone.
Now there was no anger in Light
foot's desire to find the stranger.
Instead. there was a great longing
For the first time in his life Light
foot felt lonely. So he hunted and

his appetite. He slept little. He

Breeze. but all in vain.
Then. one never-to-be-forgotten
night as he drank at the Laughing
Brook p strange feeling swept over
him. 1t was the feeling of being
watched. Lightfoot lifted his beau
tiful head and slight movement
caught his quick eyes and drew
them to a thicket not far away. The
silverv light of gentle Mistress Moon
fell full on that thicket and thrust
out from il was the most beautiful
head in all the Great World At

Lightfoot. though the truth is it
was not as beautiful as his own. for
it was uncrovned by antlers. For a
long minute Liehtfoot stood gazing.
A pair of wonderful great. soft ewes

beautiful head disappeared
With a mighty bound Lightfoot
cleared the Laughing Brook and
rushed over to the thicket in which
that beautiful head had disappeared
He plunged in. but there was no one
there. Frantically he searched But
that thicket was empty Then he
stood still and listened. Not a

but his search was in vain. The
longing to find that beautiful
stranger had become so great that
he fairly ached with it. It seemed
to him that until he found her he
could know no happiness.
