WHO KILLED HEWITT?

The Unraveling of the Plot Is
as Sudden as It Is Un-
expected

You see" said the prestidigitator. "he
is not here" This. in response to our cry
that the rabbit Is under a hat on tho table.
He of the evening coat and satin knee
breeches smiles and spreads his white
hands. The sleeves of his coat are turned
back, and his shirt cuffs treated in like
manner.
well then, how did he get away?"
We cry with curiosity born of sheer ex-
asperation.
"oh. come, my little gentlemen" says our
magician in his most tolerant manner. you
would not have me divulge my secrets?
How, then. could I amuse? Is 1t my fault
the hand is quicker than the eye? Look
Behold" And before a bcwildered audience
he walks to where our friend Smith Is
seated, and while that astonished person
is wondering what is going to happen, pro-
duces from his coat collar the missing rab-
bit. We laugh and applaud while Bunny Is
carried wriggling to the stage and given in
charge to the magician's attendant. We
observe he is not got rid of this time save
in the most material manner.

An ESSAY on Music

Stuart Maclean evidently believes with
some other serious thinkers that IL man
has n message he Is moro likely to get a
hearing for Il IL he puts 1t In novel than
II lie sets It forth stark naked by itself.
Mr.. Maclean has some ideas about music
and its place in the scheme of things. He
has written a novel around a Polish boy
with musical gifts, and In the course OF
his story he has made a strong plea Tor
wholesome sanity In music and life ano
has uttered protest against erotic emo
tionalsnl. Every student of music Will hnd
much to interest him In the volume THOSE
who read It for the story will find tale OF
love and mystery absorbing In itself apart
from the musical criticism that appears In
almost every chapter. Its sceno Is laid In a
western city and its characters are taken
from tho music-loving group and include
some who pretend to love music because
they think It is the proper thing. The real
hero is a musical critic who hates sham
and the plot deals with an old love affair
OF his and the unraveling OF It's compli-
cations.

and excuse II It were possible TO assume
that the army had gone mad, but the facts
prove that the outrages were the result Of
deliberate planning. The story OF them has
been told In many ways and by many men.
Inc latest summary comes from Arnold T.
Toynbee. who has gone through the records
and written chronological narrative OF
what happened from the beginning of the
Invasion to the sack of Louvain. He tells
now civilians were burned to death in their
houses, how old men and women and chill
dren were bayoneted by the soldiers, how
girls were outraged. how priests were killed
and how civilians who had received the sol-
diers with courtesy we're murdered on the
slightest pretext. He cites the evidence that
proves design. He does Il all calmly. letting
the facts tell their own story OF the most
inhuman raid ever made by a nation that
mas any pretense OF civilization. His book
ought to be read by every American who
wishes TO know something about the char
acter OF the Imperial German Government
with which we are now at war. 1t will con,
vert the lukewarm into ardent supporters
OF the cause Of the Allies, which Is the cause
OF humanity and Christian democracy.

What the Germans did In Belgium during

ever a blot upon the civilization of the twen-

Owl Is Farmers Friend.

As family the owls are among the most beneficial of all birds from the economic standpoint of the agricultur- ist. With few exceT tions the owls are nocturnal. Their eyes and ears are re- markabiy developed and are keenest in the early hours of the night and morning. Many harmful rodents are most active in their search for food during the night and the owls are the natural check for this multitude. The hawk hunts by day and the owl by night and the work of one supplements that of the other.
