Burgess FALCO MISSES The loss of one, anoLhei".s gain; The gain of one. anolheris pain. Tousiehead. the young kingfisher, had been out. in the Great World long enough now to be quite iii- dependent. At the time he lizid. started out in the Great World‘ leaving the snug home in a lllglll bank of the Big River, he hail li-ad seven brothers and sisters. One of these he had seen caught by l-‘alcu the Duck Hawk. The others had_ scattered up and down the Bigf River. Now he was alone mcsi nil was fined Wm‘ the time. His father and iiitiiheri iin longer brought him fish. What he ate he had to catch for himself, and he had already become, 3 very good fisherman. He didn't mind being alone. In fact. he liked it. Most fisliei'iiivii like being alone. When they are alone they usually liare better luck fishing. Every day Touslehead constantly watched for the one enemy he had learned to fear most. This was Falco the Duck Hank The. latter has not around often. Once or twice Touslehead had seen Falco in the distance. and had wisely hidden, keeping out of night until he was sure the way was clear. Now Falco knew all about T0usle- head and his brothers and sisteis. He has the wonderful far-seeiiig eyes of the hawk family. He could see Touslehcad at ll greater dis- tance than Touslehead could see him. But he wasn't. much inter- eated in trying to catch the 3-oiinz kingfishcra. There were other feathered folk he would much re.- ther catch. A pigeon made a much better dinner than a kingfisher. Falco was very fond of pigeons. So he seldom tried to catch a king- fisher unless by chance one gave him an extra easy opportunity. One day Touslehead started to fly acrou the Big River. First he. looked carefully in all directions; The way seemed to be clear. He didn't. see, anything of Palm. and started out flying low over the. water. Falco had been sitting in a tree so far away that Tousle-Ii head‘: eyes had not. discovered him 1 On the other hand. Falco hat! seenf Touslehend even before. he had started to fly across the river. ‘The first thing Touslehead knew that. fierce hunter of the air was almost. on him. Touslehead did the unlyl thing there was for him to do. Hel remembered the trick he had seen‘. Rattles play. Without an instant of hesitation. he plunged into the water. Falco was so close. that his reaching feet with their dremlfull claws actually touched the water; as Toualehead went under. It wris a close misc. But ll miss is a miss.‘ however close. And Falco was mov- Now nff you go with the children while. Susan carries Perky home." A happy look came into Fi-‘isky's< eyes as he started off with thcl youngsters. The sun shone again‘ in his dog world and he was happy. STAY AT THE CORNWALLIS HOTEL ‘I-ll HOLLIS S'l'.. Fifty single and double room! minutes’ walk from Railway Station. Steamship Plern.
