rpri i The old man walked his doj every morning. He also tatted to his wile. They went very slowly, the three of. them very old. Every moraine they walked very slowly, oat of the basement room, up toe steps, into the street, and down to Lost Lagoon.

To feed the birds. The old man was always surprised by tbe weather. Every morning he would say surprised words to his wife. She had knitted him a muffler, a long time ago. He wore it to feed the birds.

There were tourists enough to the summer, so he didnt need to feed tbe birds then. Or wear his muffler. He told his wife about the Indians hi the Yukon. They buried their dead in trees, so they would be nearer the sky to start their journey. With their favorite things to take with them, and some food.

He told the dog some dog stories, which only dogs understand. They are very private, but dogs understand wife stories, too, so they were all very happy. His wife never said anything. She was dead. But she worried about his muffler, which she had knitted a long time ago, and he wore it to please her.

Tbe dog sometimes January, too. The snow was nice, and the rain was wet, but it was somehow not so surprising as the sun. One day he fell down from being very old, and people walked around him because big cities do not know the difference until a policeman comes. The policeman got off his big brown horse. The voice on the radio came, and they carried him away under a blanket.

AH three of him. were very old, and very small to begin a journey. Hie Salvation Army is full of old people's favorite things. I can find his muffler there, I shall put it up in a tree. day he told me about her coat He gave it to tbe Salvation Army with the things in her drawer.

One day he missed ber, and went to see her hanging on the rack with the other coats. She smelled like all the other coats. He never went hack. There were some mufflers there, too, all knitted a long time ago. They were a nickel.

Then he told me about the Indians in the trees. It was a long time ago, but he had not forgotten because he told his wife every day, after she had worried about his muffler. Sometimes it was summer. That was when be was most surprised, when he lifted up his face and it was sun, and was dead, too, but he still liked to talk to them both. It made tbe walk a lot nicer.

For them alL They none of them liked the seagulls. They never had. He never introduced me to his wife, but we used to talk about the seagulls. He showed me bow to feed the ducks. Gulls have beaks that cant pick up wheat- Just bread and stuff.

So they brought wheat, and we all shared it, except tbe seagulls, who stayed away. He told me about bow his dog used to chase the ducks. Until he trained him to sit very still. It made feeding the birds nicer. For them all.

He never told me about his wife.

Tbe first contains, in the judges' opinion, the most decisive attack and the second the most effective combination of any game played in the tournament. In Tukmakov vs. Nikola-jevski, the efficacy of the attack depends on Black's powerful 29th move Q-R6.
