Never had he been hand- somer than he was this spring. and never had he shown off his fine appearance better than he was doing now. Perhaps Mrs. Grouse was pretending a little. She was acting as shy as she had the first time Thunderer had ever urummed for her, and strut- ' d to win her admiration.

On the early rounds of 'hid' -West having played P0530!" with his meek two-club overcall -140;-us sad South were chiefly toncerned with their own 60 part- icora. but as the remarkable auc- lion went into full swirls. it bi: came in effect a psychic duel be- tween west" and South.

West's very unorthodox cue hid in spades had two portions: to confuse the opollellflt Ind M 15' form East that his partner had very substantial offensive strength. West hoped that when he reached five clubs (as be fully intendedpdoing). the enemy would be kept from doubling through fear at a spade void in West's hand.

The truly important bids. how- ever, were made by North and South themselves. and it was these that formed the basis of a lively post mortal argument he- tweon them. North insisted that he had shown very little strength throughout the auction. and there- fore that south should have dou- bled iive clubs; whereas South bit- terly criticised his partner's four- diamond bid and North's failure to make a "preventive double” of five clubs as a warning to South that he would not be safe at the five-level.

Beyond question, South might have doubled five clubs as the more conservative action; but it is equally true that North's bid- ding could scarcely fail to mis- lead South. North's immediate raise in spades was. aggressive enough, hence his four-diamond bid was excedve.

South went down I00 points. whereas his side could have collected 500 points against the &m&mma;

Mu. Grouse as she watched. "There never was a Grouse like him. How he does love to strutl And he's doing I all for me." From another part of the Green Forest. somewhat faint in the dis- tance, came the sound of some one else drumming. Mrs. Grouse listened. Her black eyes sparkled with anticipation. She looked over at Thunderer. lie was listening too. Then he began to drum. and this time his drumming was a little different than it had been. Perhaps it was a warning. He didn't want any other Grouse a- round drumming. Just the sound of that other drumming made him jealous, which of course was all- ly. But Jealousy usually is silly.

Thunders. was really something see.

"I wond whb that other drum- thought Mrs. Grouse. "I if he is as handsome as Thunde. I wonder should he come over here if he and Thunder- er would fight. I would like to see that-stranger."

Thunders. had stopped strutting. lie was drumming oftener. Be- tween times he stood on the end ot a mossy old log with his. head stretched high as he listened. Whenever he heard that distant drumming he promptly replied to it. It was a warning to that other drummer to stay where he was. He was being very foolish. but he didn't know that. No sir, he didn't know that. He really was telling that other drummer, who might be looking for a mate. that there waaisome one up here to fight for. Mrs. Grouse knew this. "The silly fellow." thought aha. But all the time she was glad he was so silly. She hoped that other

in such a bad temper. "It is all on my account." thought she. "If he keptgstill the other wouldn't know anything about this place over here. or that I am here.','

Presently the other drumming sounded louder. That meant that the drummer was coming nearer. Mrs. Grouse began to get excited.
