CHAPTER IL
Cleaning the Barn

That's not fair" protested
Beanie when the farmer told him
he must do another Job to pay
for the candy.
You'll do as I say" ordered
the skinny man 81 aring at
Beanie. i
Beanie stared at him. For the
first time he saw deep. deep into
the mans eyes and what he saw
was fire and chains and light
ming. When he saw this he knew
with horror that this wasn't q
man but an ogre. and the Christ
mas tree in his yard was a trap
to catch boys like himself.
s'I want you to clean this
barn" said the ogre. STACK the
bags of grain. Pile the corn in
the crib. Put the hay in the loft.
Sweep the floor. Have 1t spot
less by shutdown. To be sure you
get 1t done / will lock you in
here until the sun goes down."
But there are no brooms or
pitchforks or anything to work
With" exclaimed Beanie.
use your hands," replied the
ogre and he went out and locked
the barn door.
Beanie stared in dismay at
the dark and dirty barn. High
up one side was the only window
and it was tightly shattered.
The only light came from cracks
In the sides of the barn. Still. It
was light enough to see the
awful mess.
He Set to Work
"Well. I'll Just have to get 1t
cleaned" thought Beanie. "It's
the only way III ever get away
from this place."
He set to work. He threw the
corn cobs into one bin. He load
ed the hay on his back and car
ried 1t up the ladder to the loft.
1t took many. many trips for
there was a great deal Of hay
and it was scattered all about
the barn.
He scraped the grain together
into an enormous pile. He found
some empty sacks and filed
them with the grain. Then he
stacked them in the corner.
But when he had done all this
work the floor was still covered
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-12-16

with bits Of hay and grain and
corn and there was nowhere in
the world for Beanie to sweep
lit even If he'd had a broom to
sweep with.
1t was nearly shutdown. Beanie
sat in a corner and buried his
head in his hands. He had done
the best he could but his best
was not good enough. He thought
he would never get away from
the ogre now.
The Little Dumdiddy had
watched Beanie working so hard
without any help and now he
thought, TITS time for me to
help"
He began to climb UP the wall
Iof the barn. He put his feet in
knotholes and chung to splinters
and struggled and twisted and
reached until he came to the
window high up at the top Of
the barn.
He Made Strange Noises
He pushed open the shutters
and perched on the window sill.
Then he began to make strange
soft noises. So soft that Beanie
never even heard. But others
heard because, in a few moments,
there were answering noises
from far beyond the barn and

Mr.. Dale pointed out serious
defect in the way Mr.. Heinsite
played his own cards-where-
upon the entire discussion died
q sudden death.
Mr.. Dale led the six Of clubs,
which was taken by Mr.. Abel
with the ace. The queen of
hearts was returned. and Mr..
Heinsite was In with the king.
He promptly cashed the ace Of
hearts. Next he cashed the king
and jack of clubs, discarding a
small diamond from the board.
Then came the ace and king
of diamonds. followed by a
third diamond. which was ruffed
with dummy's seven Of hearts.
Thoughtlessly, Mr.. Abel over
rufed. and after that Mr.. Helm
site was able to ruff his last dia-
mond in dummy. He still lost a
spade trick. but easily made his
contract.
In his usual superior fashion
he announced he could have been
defeated if Mr.. Abel had not
overruffed on the third lead OF
diamonds He explained he
would have been left in dummy
with no way to get out short Of
letting Mr.. Abel in with a spade
On taking that spade trick, Mr.
Abel could have led the last
trump of the board and thus
prevented Mr.. Heinsite from
ruffing his fourth diamond.
All of this was true. But Mr.
Dale, who was tired Of these lee
lures, came to his partners de-
Tense.
why not analyze your own
play first, Heinsite?" he said. "It
was silly to cash your second
high heart at the third trick. You
had to arrange for some way to
re-enter your hand later. so you
wouldn't get boxed on the board
like you did. One way was tt
