He was a master drummer beyond all ques- tion. Peter had found that this stranger was a Woodpecker, which, of courre, meant that he was a cousin to Downy and Hairy and to Goldenwing the Flicker. But he hadn't found out yet what the stranger's name was. “If you please, Mr. Drummer,” said | “BY THE WAY, WHAT DOES PILEAT- | ED MEAN?" INQUIRED PETER. Peter, when he got a chance, “you haven't told me your name yet.” “Haven't I?” exclaimed the stranger. Now that's too bad! I am the Pileated ‘Woodpecker. Some folks call me Log- cock; some folks call me Black Cock- of-the-Woods. You can take your choice.” “Do you know what?” asked Peter. | master | | Woodpecker.” BY THORNTON W. BURGESS “What?” demanded the stranger. “I am going to call you Master Drum- mer, for that is just what you are,” replied Peter. ‘The big Woodpecker looked pleased. He was pleased. “All right,” said he. “that suits me.” “By the way, what does Pileated mean?” inquired Peter. “That's ‘a fair question,” replied the drummer. “Pileated means crested. You see what a big, red crest . - So they call me the Pileated “I should think it would be a lot simpler and more. sensible,to call you just the crested Woodpecker,” said Peter. "By the way, did you make that | big hole?” Just then who should come along but Jumper the Hare. “Hello, Peter!” ex- claimed Jumper. “I see you found Log- cock the Master Drummer.” | “Yes,” replied Peter. “Do you call | him Logcock?” ! Jumper nodded. “Everybody around | here who knows him calls him Log- cock,” sald he. “I've told him that I'm going to call | him the Master Drummer,” replied Peter. “That's very good,” replied Jumper. “but I guess he’ll be Logcock to the rest of us. How about it, Logcock?"” ‘The big Woodpecker nodded. “I've answered to that'name so long,” said he, “that I guess I always will.” “Is Mrs. Logcock around?” inquired Jumper. “No,” replied Logcock, “but T hope she will arrive soon. She must have | heard me drumming. I presume she is over on the Great Mountain where I left her, but I think she can hear | me drumming wWay up there.” “Have you decided to stay in the | Green Forest?” inquired Peter. “That all depends on Mrs. Logcock,” was the reply. “What she says goes. If she doesn’t come soon, I shall have to go to look for her.” “What?” replied the big Woodpecker. “I don't like either of those names,” explained Peter. “I'm going to call you something different.” “I hope youll find her and that you'll both stay here,” said Peter. “Thank you, Peter,” replied Logcock.

Nearly all the historic violins owned privately or in collections have a well authenticated pedigree which is guard- ed as carefully as the instrument itself, and an examination of these records often shows that the instrument has at some time passed through the hands of Luigo Tarisio, who, 100 years ), WaS a wandering fiddle mender and incl- dentally a collector. He traveled the length of the Italian peninsula many times, calling “Violins sed through the hamlets and vil- lages. He showed great discrimination in the matter of these instruments and when he came across one which he rec- ognized as of value he did not hesitate to use s little practice to gain Soe et stally_dlinguisned. origin one would often be put in his hands some repair and the owner would be discouraged by the extent of the repairs required, whereupon the peddler would offer to take it off his hands and give a new instrument for a small consider- ation, In this manner hundreds of very fine instruments passed rough hands and some of ‘them were quite valuable and ultimately were sold for high prices.
