The Herald's Daily
Short Story

Fifteen minutes later We find our owl
buried in a bed Of rushes, where he
remained until dark, preening his
feathers, and making the best Of his
wounds. and snoring away TO himselI
like a bulldog.
Then when dusk came stealing in
from the east over the cold North sea
he sailed forth. He found himself on
the shore of a wide estuary with the
lights of a. big town twinkling forth
In the distance across the water. HIS
method Of hunting was like unto no
other birds for they hunt by SlgnI
whereas he hunted mostly by sound.
For something like half an hour he
hunted along that lonely shore in vain
Things were getting desperate Ior
birds cannot fast very long. suddenly
he paused, lowered, slid on few yards,
hOvered again, described beautiful
circle and settled. Once on the ground
he went from sight, harmOnizing with
his surroundings perfectly, even by
day.
No stone could have remained more
still than that bird during the next ten
minutes. A man passed him along the
seawau, but he never moved. A flock
Of duck whistled overhead, and he re-
NAMED like a craven image AFTER IN
duck had gone the silence of the night
shut down upon him. broken only by
the murmur Of the distant town and
the weird cries Of wildfOwl
Then. with amazing suddenness, ne
let forth the most fiendish and ap-
palling yell ever heard or dreamt Of
in a nightmare It would have made
ever a man jump. Instantly the shore
Of the estuary all around him became
alive with scufflings, and instantly,
too, he was on wing. quick as a flash
be had darted through the darkness,
and had dropped like a stone on to
something which squealed.
It was rat The place had been
alive with rats all the time, but be-
cause they too had been mOtionless,
watching him, he could not see them.
1t was the yell that made them jump
and scuffle and thus give themselves
away. This was a trick he often
worked off on cunning prey like the
big old shore rats, and rarely did 1t
fail
After that he went to sleep in a
mangel-wurzel field for the day, be-
Ing, unlike other owls who sleep In
trees a haunter OF the ground.

TAKE A MUSIC BATH.
By Oliver Wendell Holmes.


One must be educated, no doubt to
understand the more complex and diff
ferent kinds of musical composition.
Go to the concerts where you know
that the music Is good, and that you
ought to like it whether you do or not.
Take a music bath once or twice q
week for a few seasons and you will
find that IT is to the soul what the
water bath is to the body. I wouldn't
trouble myself about the affectations
Of people who go to this or that series
OF concerts chiefly because 1t is fash
iOnable. Some Of these people whom
we think so silly will perhaps find,
sooner or later. that they have DOR
mant faculty which is al last waking
up, and that they who came because
others came, and began by staring at
the audience, are listening with a new
ly found delight Everyone Of US has
a harp under the bodice or waistcOat,
and If It can only once get properly
strung and tuned it will respond to all
outside harmonies.
