from them. Cat llird, by pretending
to be u eat, leads them astray with
nh mcwlny.
CHAPTER IV
Making the' Trap
"HOOD hunting I Wo wilt feast upon
birds In splto of thoso-meddlesomo
ciuidren," yowled the cats, Thomas, Tiger
and nincklc, following Cat Bird's voice
deep Into the woods.
"MewtyMewl flood hunting 1" sang
Cat nird Just ahead of them. He was
very careful to keep out of their sight;
for ho didn't want them to know he was
a bird trying to fool them.
Hilly and Peggy laughed to them
selves. Thoso cuts woro going to b very
cross when they found they had been
tricked by a clever bird, "Come, we will
get, our trap ready," cried Billy.
"Hool Hool What are ou going to
do'" hooted .Tudgo Owl from his hollow
tree, where his dally snooze bad been
disturbed by the racket caused by the
cats '
"Follow us, and I'll show you," an
swered Billy, leading the way to a rocky
valley whore n llttlo brook babbled Its
way toward tho river. "I'm going to
catch those mean cats the way some
folks cntch files,'; he explained. "We
haven't any sticky fly paper, but there
Is plenty of pitch on tho plno trees with
which to make a sticky cat trap.
Billy picked a broad slab of atone be
side the broolc to uso as a trap. Nearby
weie plno trees from which pitch was
oozing under tho warm rays of the sun.
Peggy and Billy scraped thin pitch from
the trees with chips, and spread It on
tho slab of stone. Soon they had the
whole slab covered with a smooth, sticky
coat of pitch.
".Vow our sticky cat trap Is ready,"
cried Hilly
"But how are jou going to get your
cats Into It," asked Peggy, who knew
bow inuch cats disliked getting their
fur Into sticky things.
"Wo will make birds out of but rs and
w'hen the cats come after the burr-birds
they will get stuck." grinned Billy.
vv Ith Peggy's help ho made three fat,
fuzzy burr-birds, which he stuck up in
the middle of the sticky trap. Tho false
blfda lboked so natural, with their heads'
cocked on ono side, as If listening for
worms In the ground, that tho real birds
had to, giggle nnd chuckle.
"Now, If some of ou. birds will hide
In the bushes nnd make your voices
sound as If they camo from the burr
birds, tho cnts will never suspect a
trick," said Billy,
"We will do that, I nnd my family,"
offered Yellow Chat "We can throw
our voices into tho burr birds."
So saying, Yellow Chat new into tho
hushes, nnd In a moment the burr-blrdH
began to sing and chatter. Billy nnd
PeggJ' wero astonished. They had no
Idea elIow Chut waH so clever. Ho
was Just ns good n voice-thrower as tho
innn In a vnudevlllo show who makes
funny dummies tnlk nnd sing.
"Everybody hide," cried Billy, nnd ho
nnd Peggy frept behind n clump of trees.
Then BU1'X whistled loudly to call Cat
Bird back fiom tho deep woods Into
which ho hnd coaxed Thomas, Tiger nna
Blacklo Cat
"Mewl .Mew' Mow!" nnswercd Cat
Bird from the distance. "Mew! Mewl
Good hunting this way."
In a moment Cat Bird enme hurrying
along ahead of the cats. Billy called to
him softly nnd told him tho plan for
catching tho cats In tho traps. Cat Bird
chuckled.
"My, those cats are cross nt not find
Ing good hunting. Watch them go for
those burr-blrds! "Then Cnt Bird raised
his voice loudly.

GIMBEL CHORALJN CONCERT
Excellent Program at Semiannual
Appearance atBellevue-8tratford
Tho sprinc concert of the Glmbel
Choral Society wns given nt tho Belle-vuo-Strntfonl
Hotel last evening. Th
chorus shows nn improvement over Its
work of the Inst concert so great ns to
bo literally nstoiindlnit. The balance
of the parts was excellent and the
choral has thnt most rare thing among
mixed clioruNes nn adequate tenor sec
tion. Tho biwcs alio were very Rood.
It is seldom, indeed, that n mixed chorus
has a proper hnlanco of the male toIccs
ns rompaicd with the sop'rnno and alto
parts.
The conductor, Stnnlcy Muschnmp.
selected his program, with due regard
both to the musical interest of the num
bers and to the "slngabilltv" of the
pnrts, with the result thnt nil of them
were adequately tendered nnd made an
excellent impression. Not the lensV.im
provement noticed wns that of tone
nunlit.r, which wns free in production
and generally good in tlmbie. The one
questionable number 'on tho piogram
wns tho male choral nrrnngement of
rinsuti's "Good Night, Good Night,
Uclovcd," ono of the real gems of mixed
chorus composition, but hopelessly in
adequate ns a male chorus. With such
a mixed chorus as Mr. Muschnmp now
has, the work would have been far more
effectivo in Its original form.
