Faicnl on“ THE GUARDIAN, V (By Thornton ANOTHER DRUMIMING ruzznz The drummers make the weigh ring With joyous greetings to the spring. —Old Mother Nature. It was a. puzzle. Yes sir, it was a puzzle. Anything that one doesn't understand, however much hc may try. ls a puzzle. Peter Rab- bit still couldn't understand how 'I‘hundcrcr the lluffetl Grouse could drum on nothing butvthe air with his wings, and send such farreachlng sound rolling through the Green Forest. Thunderer had ohligingly tried to Show him how it was done, but Peter still couldn‘t understand how any one could. drum without a drum, and this was W. Burgess) _ “I came to see you drum," replied Peter just what Thunderer ’ to do. 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. It may’ well be called a trick way of using his wings that enables the Grousel to move his wings so fast that they i are little more than a blur to! watching eyes, yet not lift himself) in flight at all. And it certainly is a trick, a skillful one, to catch' better. It afilnds up loud Illol I strike it. loud enough to be heard for a lung distance and that is What I nront," said Drummer‘ the Woodpecker. He drummed again. 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 hip fell. There wasn't one iln the the air beneath those wings in a. c round. way to pound out that sound like 5' distant thunder. "I don't believe Thundercr really thought Peter as he started off to look for another drummer. And again he probably was right. Folks often know what to do to get cer- tain results, but don't ‘know ex- actly what makes the results. 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! It soiuid- ed sharp and clear as it rang through the Green Forest. It wasn't a sweet sound. It wasn't musical at all: Yet there was in it acme- thing of joyousness that could be felt. by all who heard it. Peter felt it "He knows its spring and ho wants evcrybodyi else to know it." thought he, and hurried a little faster. - ' was dead, but though dead it was solid. As soon as he saw that limb Pctcr saw an old acquaintance on the upper part of it juslt an-hc had expected to. Lt was Drummer the Woodpecker. Even as Peter looked Drummers head flew back and forth too fast to count, and a long ratu-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat went. roil- ing through the Green Forest. Druemner paused to listen for a reply. There was none. l-la looked down and saw Peter. "What brings you over here. Longears?” he wanted to know. "I came over to see you drum." replied Peter. “When I heard you I knew where I would find you. You used to drurn on that limb last year." "It is the best drlrmrning limb in the Green Forest.

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.
