When once you net yourself to learn ■urprlses wait at every turn. y —Peter Rabbit. Drumming Without » Drum. "All my life I have believed that Thunderer the Grouse drums by beat jng a hollow log with his wings,” muttered Peter Rabbit to hlmsf-lf as he sat In the dear Old Briar Patch thinking over what he had seen in the Green Forest the day before. "I was told that when I was a little fellow and uptil yesterday I never once doubted it. But that log Thun derer was drumming on yesterday n't hollow, and because it isn’t hoi “"Tow and is covered with moss Thun derer might pound it with his wings I until they were broken without mak ing a noise wprth mentioning. Cousin Jumper the Hare says Thunderer doesn't always do his drumming rfn a log, so of course a log doesn’t have anything to do with the noise. T sup posed that Thunderer always uses a log. but if Jumper says he doesn't I suppose he doesn't.” Just then Peter'* long ears picked up a faint, long, low rumble like distant thunder. It came from the Green Forest. It wag the drumming of Thunderer. Peter looked around cautiously to make sure that little Mrs. Peter wasn’t about. Then he started for the Green Forest, lipper tv-lipperty-llp. His white powderpuff of a tall bobbed up, down, up, down, «s he scampered as fast as those long leg* could take him. When he reached the Green Forest he *at up end waited with hi* long ears wide open. He wa» listening. Presently he heard that long thunder toll, and once more started on. At Inst he was so near tha drummer that he moved 'ery slowly and care fully. , lie wanted to see without being seen. He was fearful that should Thunderer suspect he was being watched he would become shy end refuse to drum. I’eter was looking for a log. He expected to find Thunderer on a log But when at last he saw Thunderer the latter was standing on a big rock and there was no log in sight. "ills drumming log must he be hind that rock and he has jumped up there for a look around," thought Peter. "When he goes back to that log to drum I’ll peep around that rock and watch him." Peters thoughts were Interrupted by the boom, boom of the beginning of that thunder roll that had brought him over there, and it was so lotirl that at first he waa startled. He wondered if without realizing it he had turned his head and Thunderer had gone back to his drumming log. But he hadn’t. There was Thunderer When the long roll ended Thunderer appeared to listen for a few minutes. the Grouse with his neck stretched high, his handsome black ruff spread out and his wings—well, his wings were moving so fast that Peter could not really see them. Thunderer was drumming and he was doing it right there on that rock before Peter's eyes. What was more, that drum ming was just as loud and Just as clear as ever Peter had heard It from an old log. When the long roil ended Thun derer appeared to listen for a few minutes. Then he spread his stout wings and whirred away ever the treetops. leaving Peter to scratch first one long ear with a long hind fn'ot and then the other long ear with the other long hind foot. Peter's Ideas were more upset than ever. He found out that Thunderer didn't have to have a hollow log on which to drum, and now that he didn't have to have a log at ail. "He drums just as well on a rock as on a log," mut tered Peter. All that day he spent watching Thunderer whenever he was to be found by his drumming. And so it was that once Peter found him drum ming on neither log nor rock, but on the ground, and Ills drumming was Just as good as ever Peter heard It. "He Is a. drummer without a drum," thought Peter, as he watched, trying to' see just how Thunderer managed to make all that noise. (Copyright. 1525.)
