Thunderer the Grouse was drumming. Pei-naps I should say that he was thundering. You see his drumming sounds very like dislaiit thunder. It is because of this he is called Thunderer. At times he is a noisy fellow. I sus- pect that he loves to make ii noise just as small boys do. Anyway, he drums when there is no special reamn for his drumming. In the Bpriiig he drums because he is in love. Thunderer cannot sing. He has no voice lor singing. So, being wiser than some folks we all know, he doesn't try to sing. Instead he drunis. As you know, he does it with his wings. He does it ior

the admiration of Mrs. Grouse. But arlier the nesting season is over and the admiration and love of Mrs. Grouse has long since been won. he still drums. I suspect he does it because he likes to make a noise.

This morning he happened to be passing a mossy old log on which he had drummed many times 3 ihe spring. There he had drumm- ed and atuiled. his handsome tail spread like a fan. his black rutl slandin: out around his neck. his head ilii-awn back proudly. And all the time he had known that i'no bright eyes of Mrs. Grouse were watching him admiringly.

Now Mrs. Grouse was off some- uhere uiih the children. teach- ing them some of the important things they would have to know

in order to talus care of them- selves later out in the Great World. Thunderer had no real

reason for drumming. Neverthe- less he hopped up on the mossy old log. He strutted the length of it. He strutted back again. Per- haps struttin-g gave him an extra good feeling. It seems to do that to some iolks. Then. standing on the end of the old log. he began to drum Slowly at first. then fas- ter and faster. when he had rm- isl-ied the long roll he stood perfectly still with his head Istreiched high. He was listening I for A reply. But ihere was no reply He waited a while looking and lis- toning and strutted for his own pleasure. Then he drummed again. He was iecling good, was Thun- derer the Grouse. He was feeling good and he wanted everybody to know it.

He sirutted the length of the mossy old log. He slruiled back and. prepared to drum again. It was then that he became aware that he was being watched. He didn't see anyone. it was just I feeling. He stood perlectly still, his bright eyes looking from side in side. At first he saw no one. Everything wqs very still. There were no Merry Little Breezes around. They are the children of Old Mother West Wind, you know. Then a loaf of a fc-rii moved ever so little. li moved so little that I suspect. that you would not have noticed it had you been there. Brit Thundei-er noticed it. He stated very hard at that Irrn leaf. it moved again just a wee. wee bit. 11 was then that Thunderer saw a pair of small bright eyes watch- ing from beneath it.

He stared very hard at those small black eyes. Those small

black eyes stared back very hard. Tiicii Tliunderer saw another pair

of small black eyes but not so bright as the first ones. in fact they were just a little bit dull.

One pair of little black eyes dis- appeared. A moment later they were. back again. Thunderer said nothing, just kept still. Presently a very small person wearing a pretty striped coat came out from under the tern and stared up at him. Thunderer chuckled inside. His visitor was a very small Chip- munk. one of Striped Chipmunks children. Then out from under the fern walked another small person. just. 3. little bigger than the Chip- munk. He also wore a striped cost, :1 black coat with white

stripes. Thunderer chuckled as he looked down at his i visitors.
