The fellow who is drumming now isn't one of those three. The only other drummer that I can think of over here in the Green Forest is Thun- derer the Grouse, and his drumming is altogether different from this.

I wonder who under the sun 1t can be.” But jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun was limbing higher and higher in blue sky. and Peter knew it me that he should be back old Briar-patch. So away ipperty-lipperty-lip, and soon wes_high in the de: he went, he had forgotten all about the strange | drummer over in the Green Forest. | ACROSS. 1 French Revolutionist, 6 Divan. 12 Kind of silk cloth.

BY THORNTON W. BURGESS | | ‘The following morning just after day- break Peter was in the Old Orchard. He discovered Goldenwing the Flicker there also. Goldenwing was very busy getting a breakfast of ants. He was so busy that he merely nodded to Peter. You see Goldenwing had discovered an ant hill and the way that long tongue of his shot out and back again, taking an ant with it each time, was wonderful to see. Peter sat down nearby and watched him for a few minutes. Then from over in the Green Forest came a rat-a-tat- tat that caused Peter to prick up his ears. He listened. He didn't believe that either Downy or Hairy, the Wood- | pecker cousins with wnom he was best | acquainted, could possibly drum like | that. Of sourse, it might be another | Flicker. He knew that Goldenwing could make a great racket when he once | set out to and so, of course, could other Flickers. “Where is Mrs. Flicker?"” Peter suddenly. “Right here,” replied a voze. demanded | And, Flicker | She flew down to join Golden- “Did you want: tree. “Yes gnd no.” replied Peter. “I just | wonderéd if you might be the drummer | over In the Green Forest. Now I know you are not. Is it a member of your family who is making all that nose?” Mrs. Flicker turned her head to listen for a moment. “No,” said she, “no! Flicker ever made a noise like that. My, what fine ants these are!” Then she turned to Goldenwing. “Why didn't you call me before?” she demanded. But Goldenwing was too busy to make a reply. Out, back, out, back, out, back, flew that long tongue of his, and each time it went back an ant | went with it. He wasn't in(‘]lnl_fl to talk. It was clear that he intended to make the most of his opportunity. Finding that he could get no satisfac- | tion from either Goldenwing or Mrs. Flicker, Peter finally went on his way to the dear Old, Briar-patch and he still wondered who the strange drummer in the Green Forest could be.
