NCOUT NIGHT HAWK guidet

NCOUT NIGHT HAWK guided
- the attacking party over the
~ treetops toward the center Of
the starlight. No, for the flashes came
quite dark even in the sky above the
forest, while down below it seemed
pitch black. High in the heavens the
stars were twinkling brightly. Oc-
casionally Peggy saw flash of light
below Could it be water rejecting
the starlight? No, for the flashes came
where the trees were thickest and
sometimes from high UP among the
trees. Did the Crows have watch
men who carried flashlights?
What are those sparks OF light"
she whispered to Brownie Owl,
"FirefliesW answered Brownie Owl.
THEY are fine to eat on chilly
night"
Peggy didn't think they would be
fine to eat at any time. She watched
them with fascinated interest as they
sparkled here, there and everywhere
by the dozens and scores. Instead
of giving the comfort that regular
light would do, they seemed to add
to the mysterious weirdness of the
woods at night. Peggy hoped they
were not keeping the Crows awake,
Scout Night Hawk flew until they
came to a group of trees higher than
the others.
old King Grow has his cavern at
the foot Of these trees he chirped
softly.
Tkey arranged themselves in form
of attack, with the Night Hawks 60
ing ahead, the Owls who we're tC
seize King Crow coming next, and
then Peggy in her chariot. The
Whip Poor-Wills formed a rearguard
which was to fight the way out if the
Crows became aroused after the cap
ture Of King Grow.
Plunging down among the trees
seemed to Peggy like dropping into
deep weil-it was so dark. The
flashes of the frehies we're much
brighter here and by them Peggy
caught quick glimpses of large nests
in which were sleeping Crows, There
were Crows perched also on the
limbs of trees-so many of them tina,
Peggy thought that they must be
numbered by the thousands. Suppose
they should wake up and envelol
the attacking army! 1t was not pleas
ant to think about.
Peggy wondered how the Night
Birds could find their way through the
murky blackness. They seemed very
sure and confident, however, as they
fitted through the branches. Her
chariot was occasionally brushed by
twigs, but the hip-Poor-Wills were
very careful to guard her against rea
harm.
At a signal from Scout Night
Hawk, the Birds carrying the chariot
hung poised in the air, while the Owl:
and Night Hawks sank lower to seel
King Crow. 1t was very still in the
forest. The firefies had vanished
The only sound was the rustling beat
of the Whip oor-Wills' wings as
they held the chariot suspended.
All of a sudden there was sharp
snappy whirr. Swift-moving form:
darted through the blackness in sur.
prise attack upon the Night Birds.
The Bats! The Bats have be-
trayed us. Fly! Fly" shrieked Scou
Night Hawk.
Instantly there was a flashing o
lights as the frehie- threw thei
glows upon the fight Following
quickly came a confused tapping roa
as the Crows awoke and took wing.

tertained in Omaha and made a
speech at the Chamber of Commerce.
"Recalling the hospitality extended
the Belgian troops in your city that
day, | am sure the appeal tor Queen
Elizabeth's Flower Day will meet a
ready response"
The sale is designated as the
queens flower day because of the Gus
tom instituted by her several years
before the war of holding an annual
flower day for a relief benefit. One
wear it was white roses for tubercu-
losis patients and another year, edel-
weiss, for the sleeping sickness sui
ferers in Africa. ,.

and black, will be sold by hundreds OF
Omaha women and girls, besides
women of the Belgian colony on the

SOCIETY

THERE is little or no time for teas
l. or dinners while serving ones
country, especially if you wear the
costume of Red Cross nurse. A
leave of absence is rare privilege
and even though royalty beckons, the
dull drum beat of duty keeps the min
istering angels of the great hospitals
overseas at their posts.
Miss Louise Dining, who is now
near the front in Belgium has very
few rests in her hospital life.
One or two little respites have come
to Miss Dining, however, and
through the courtesy of Miss May
Mahoney she has met some dis
tinsuished personages. Miss Ma
honey, who attended school in
Belgium, made scores of friends and
through Introductory letters Miss
Dining has also met the same people:
This former Omaha girl writes of
having tea with Lieutenant Charles
lie Teller and she has been invited
by Prince Henri de Croy, a member
of the kings staff, who is now sta
toned at Dunkirk, to visit this busy
post, but Miss Dining has not yet
been given leave of absence.
