Nor could he understand why Thunderer didn't fly when he beat with his winls so fast, And, too, he couldn't see why, if all that sound was made with Just wings other; birds couldn't drum like Thunderor. l "It. must be he has a trick way‘ of using his wings and no one l else knows it." decided Peter, and gave up puzzling over it. He was, nearer right than he knew.

Peter watched him. This was drumming that he could under- stand. There was no puzzle about this. That is there was none until it; popped into Peter's head that. Drummer was hitting that limb, and hitting it hard, with tho very thing he used for cutting holes in trees, his sharp, stout, pointed, bill. How could he pound that limb so hardwith that sharp bill and not cut out a. lot of chips? But not a

Peter was listening to another drummer. He could teil just by listening just where this ' other drummer was. There was no un- certainty as to where that sound was coming from as there so often is with the drumming of Thun- derer the Grouse. Peter didn't need to keep stopping to listen to make sure he was going in the right direction. itata-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat! Rata-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!

North should have made a pen~ alty double of one spade. South undouiqtedly would have taken out the double, but. that had no bedr- ing on North's proper action.
West's first problarrl came on the opening lead. and he decided in favor of the heart. six. The jack forced the ace, and South, faced with a rather formidable problem himself, did the best he could by immediately leadinz a diamond. West put up _the ace, and at this point he could have "fixed" the enunyby "cashing the club ace and then throwing dummy in with a diamond. ButWeet could not know that this would take out declarer’s last entry to durnmy _ in other words, that. South had neither a
‘ third diamond nOr a, spade for com-
munication purposes.
It is true that several different defenses, each of the-n carrying logic, would have been far better than West's actual decision to lead g spade through dummy. That was fatall The spade jack was put in and East's king was ruffed away. Now declarer led a club toward the queen. West won, but. it was now too late to defeat the contract. On a heart return, dcclarer could pick up the rest of the trumps and use hi: remaining diamond for entry to dummy; on West's actual diamond lead, the king won and deciarer correctly used the two top spades for heart discards. instead of trying to discard on the third diamond. After that there was no
more play to the hand. -
