Hooty the Owl Strikes for a

breaches. He is always ready after
dusk to strike for dinner. and he
strikes quick and hard the instant he
gets a chance. This is why he Is SO
feared by all the little people of the
Green Forest and the Green Meadows
and respected by some of the larger
ones.
It happened that on this particular
night Hooty the Owl was very hungry,
for hunting had been poor. You know
Hooty is a big bird. with terrible
hooked claws and a hooked bill. His
eyes are large and yellow and very
erce-looking. From the top Of his
stands up. These tufts look in the
dusk like little horns, and this is why
he is called the Great Horned Owl.
They add to the fierceness of his APP
pearance.
Ever since the coming of the first
Hooty the Owl had been hunting for
his dinner, but not mouthful had he
found. He had been all over the Green
Meadows, but Danny Meadow Mouse
and all his friends had managed to
keep hidden. He had tried the dear
OlQ 6I1dI-pdICH, OuL ucItHcE 1'StCT
Rabbit nor any Of his family had so
much as poked wabbly little nose
outside the friendly brambles. He had
tried the Old Orchard without any
better luck. Now he was back in the
Green Forest.
Hooty's temper was bad. Tempers
are apt to be bad when people are
hungry and haven't any idea where
the next meal is coming from. When
ever he hooted that bad temper made
his terrible voice sound more terrible
than ever. Perhaps that is why all
the little people took unusual care to
keep well hidden and remain perfect
ly still as long as he was anywhere
near.
Finally Hooty flew over to a certain
tall, dead tree without branches,
which stood near the Laughing Brook.
On the top of this he perched. sitting
so straight and motionless that from
little distance you probably would
have mistaken him for part of the
tree. For while Hooty sat there
motionless and silent, but all the time
he was looking and listening.
It was growing darker and darker.
Already it was too dark for the best
hunting. Soon 1t would be SO dark
that he would have to give up. until
the first hint of light in the morning.
Though Hooty's eyes are very won
derful, and made for seeing in the
dusk and among the Black Shadows,
he cannot see to hunt in pitch
darkness.

Maurice Dambois.

Before a large and appreciative
audience, in the Masonic Auditorium
last evening, the Belgian cellist and
pianist, Maurice Dambois, gave his
first concert in this city. This famous
young artist has enjoyed a highly
successful tour on the concert stage
IN this country. and his performance
last evening was fully up to the mark
mat he had been heralded to make.
He possesses all the fine qualities of
temperamentally true ceilist, and his
piano work is marked with the same
ability and artistry.

the cellist displayed his real soul

ity that stir an audience to a pro-
found silence and draw a tear to
the eye. The program closed with
"Marche Militaire Franchise" from

produced Mr.. Rudolph Ganz's playing
and Mr.. Dambois performed at the
other piano.
American and Belgian flags, palms

Nine. Schumann Heink.

The vast audience gathered at the

afternoon, overlooking on the stage
in large numbers and filling the
foyer at the real of the auditorium,
and the spontaneous bursts OF ap-
plause that rang out time and time
again during her concert We're un.
mistakable testimonials of the regarC

PIANIST of the occasion, also felt the

to the front of the stage by the great
singer for recognition.
Opinions may differ as to whether
the years have robbed Nine. Schu-

mer greatness, but there can be nc
question that she still retains her
wonderful power over her audience
to thrill, or to move them to tears

it from the great operas or but
simple lullaby or child song. Per-
haps there is not the expenditure

tralto: but the softness and beauty
OF her pianissimo still enables her
to impress upon the rendition of each
of her numbers the great art which
is hers and which has placed her ir

singers.
"Ah. Redimi," from Francesca Rossi's
'Mitrane," was sung with real beauty
and effect, and it started the demands

MoTIONLESS AND SILENT.
Hooty opened his mouth and gave
his fierce hunting call. "Whoo-hoo-
hoo. WHO'D. hoo" Now. most hunters
try not to alarm those they are hunt
ing, but Hooty does the opposite thing.
He hopes to startle them by tho sud
denness and fierceness Of his call into
moving, even though it be ever SO lit
tie. His ears are very large and won
derful and can catch the slightest rus
tie anywhere near. So the instant he
has booted he listens. If leaf rustles
his great silent wings take him to the
spot noiselessly, and If some poor
frightened little person of the Green
Forest has rustled that leaf Hootys
great eyes search him out and Hooty
has his dinner.
So, as usual. Hooty listened with all
his might after hooting this time. At
drst he heard nothing. Than over be-
hind q big stump on the edge Of the
Laughing Brook a~twig snapped. In
|stantly Hooty spread his great wings
and silently dew over to that big
stump. 1t was very dark, so dark
that he could hardly 500. But he could
see enough to know that something
moved just beyond the top OF that
stump. That was enough, With all
his strength Hooty struck. It was
his last chance for a dinner.
