Hugh Walpole a Man of Many Interests Hugh Walpole, who speaks here Friday at 4 p. in., Fontenelle hotel, (or the Omaha Society of Fine Arts, is a man of broad literary interests. Be sides his own books of fiction, he has delved into other branches of writ ing. He is probably the leading private collector of Sir Walter Scott's manuscripts. He has in his possession the holo graph manuscript which was formerly .John Buskin's trensure, the corrected proof sheets, the first edition ' in boards and all important later edi tions. He says: "It is interesting that whereas the manuscript is practically without correction from beginning to end, the proof sheets are thick with additions and subuaetlons in Scott's hand, marked, too, with many friend ly controversies with Ballantyne." I Russian Pianist Gives Talk on Music to D. A. R. Members. Benjamin Adamowsky, the Russian pianist and composer, who recently opened a studio in Omaha, gave an interesting talk before the Omaha chapter of the Daughters of the .Amer ican Revolution, which met at the home of Mrs. K. P. Peck on Tues day afternoon. Mr. Adamowsky was only permitted to come to this coun try after promising the Russian gov ernment to return home at the end ot two years in America. In his talk upon the "Necessity for Music in America," he greatly laments the neglect of classical music among all classes of Americans. In Russia the musical conservatories are under gov ernment control, the largest of the imperial, conservatories being at Mos cow and Warsaw with branches die tiibuted throughout Russia. During the late war Mr. Adamowsky states that in the times of greatest stress for Russian- troops the stimulus of , good music was never neglected. The i soviet, however,, does not care for j music and their influence is all for the suppression of the Russian love of it. The chapter enjoyed little Dorothy T.ustgarten, a child of 9 years, who ' accompanied by her sister, Ida, gave j i violin interpretation of Traumerei, ( Romance in "A," by Ideurance, a Ne- j hra.sk a. composer: "Tarantell." by j Drdla, and Polish dance by Wieni aakl.

I felt like a conspirator In a cine ma third reel as I stole down the hall behind Mrs. Barker and Dr. Pettit. Blit the conviction was strong upon me that the chatelaine of the hostelry exasperated by the physician's de mand that she reveal Dicky's sup posed hiding place, fWant to stage something unpleasant for him. There was no necessity for my ac companying them that I could see, and I would liav^ remained in the hall but for (he peremptory signalling nod which Mrs. Barker gave me. But I could not deny that my curiosity was glad of her summons, although I meant to keep Dr. Pettit in ignorance of my presence if I possibly could manage It. Down the empty hall, through the dining-room, also empty. Into the kitchen, where the sulky maid gave us a startled curious stare, through another door into a dark, short hall. T followed the angry physician and the Imperturbable Mrs. Barker. Ann when the lady, stopping before a dimly outlined door, said: "Here you are,” in a low voice which was the essence of feminine yielding to peremptory masculinity. 1 flattened myself against the wall, and held my breath hoping the physician would not guess my proximity. "Come out of there, Graham,” Dr. Pettit called, his voije filled with men acing anger. "lfe can't liear you through that door,” Mrs. Barker said smoothly. "It's too thick." “Open it then,” the physician said curtly. She evidently had the key ready, for I heard the turning of It in the lock, and the door swung open. The physiciati'falrly plunged into the room and then, in the dim light, I saw Mrs. Barker bend forward and pull the door to, heard the click ns the key turned, and the hoarse, suddenly muffled shout from Dr. Pettit, which told his comprehension that he had been tricked. Mrs. Barker’s Triumph. "There.” Mrs. Barker said com posedly. as she walked toward me, ap parently unheeding the muffled pound ing upon the door she had just closed. "He'll ha\e a chance to t-ool off." t-hc re-entered the kitchen, dinging and locking the heavy dooy shutting off the room front the little dark hall, and paying no attention to the wide eyed amazement of her sulky kitchen maid, site stood listening beside it for two or three minutes. “You can't hear anything, can you?” she asked me. "Not a sound,” 1 answered, and. In deed, the two doors with the hall space between made the room beyond soundproof. I wask sure that Dr. Pet tit had not yet ceased shouting and pounding—he was far too persistent a person to desist so seen—but he evi dently might be in the "dungeon cell” of blessed “'Pinafore” memory for any chance he might have of being heard. “Then we'll go hack to the hall,” she said, imperturbable as ever, and 1 followed her back to her desk, with my respect ami admiration for this mountain woman increasing with, every step.

"In the root cellar." she returned. “All the mountain homes have them, but ours is especially large on ac count of the house being built spang up against the cliff.

"I'll Just double that," she said grimly, "and I'll telephone Tim Boyce to keep his mouth shut as to which way you went. But you'd better not waste any more time getting away from here."

The Grouse brothers amt Wood chuck boys wore giving one of their famous concerts in the back pas ture. The Grouse brothers drummed and Hie Woodchuck brothers whistled. 11 \vas beautiful music — so every body said. , At the beginning of (he concert the musicians played gay tunes, such as Money Musk. The Bumblebee in the Pumpkin, 'and Pop Goes the Weasel. And after each one was finished, the audience laughed heartily. It was their way of showing that they liked the tunes. And every time, when the laughter had at last died away, the Grouse brothers and the Wood chuck boys rose and bowed. It was their way of showing that they lilted to have the audience enjoy their mu sic. 'You, laughed," Triskgr told him Now, Jimmy Rabbit had come to the? concert. If the truth must be told, he was no musician himself He 1 couldn’t even sing. To-be sure. In* hod 1 taken one singing lesson. And hisj teacher had said h< was a line pupil. : Hut most people smiled when they j heard that. His teacher was old Mr. Crow. And everybody knew he | couldn’t sing any more than a tur- ! key. 11 was no wonder, then, that Jimmy Rabbit couldn’t toll' whether the music was good or bad. But he wanted to please the musicians. So he laughed when the others laughed. i Indeed, lie laughed so hard that his neighbors around him nudged one an* ' other and whispered that they had I never seen anybody enjoy a concert as much as Jimmy Rabbit, j At first Jimmy Rabbit paid close ; attention to the musicians. He watched the tiro use brothers us they ; puffed themselves out* and heat upon their chests with their wings. lie looked closely at the Woodchuck • hoys—especially the one who crossed j his eyes when he whistled. But after ; a time his gaze wandered, lie began ' to think of other things, such as let : thee and green peas and tender new beun shoots. Rut the time the con ceit was half over he hardly heard the | music at all. i He laughed, however, whenever the musicians stopped playing. He didn't want the Urouse brothers nor the Woodchuck hoys, noi* the audience either, to think he didn't like the music. AA'lien the concert was half finished the musicians stopped playing their guy times. The first tune of the second half was a very sad one. "Eveiy Dog Has Jlis Day" was tho name of it. And before it was done a good many of the audience were sniveling. In fact almost everybody reached for his pocket handkerchief. But Jimmy Babbit never ifutieed that. He was thinking about cab bages. He came to his senses, how ever. just qs the drummers and the whistlers reached the end of the piece. And then he burst forth with a peal of loud laughter. lie knew, the next moment, that there was something wrong. Nobody else was laughing. His neighbors on all sides were staring at him coldly. And somebody—he thought it was old I'nile Jerry Chuck — called "Order!" in a harsh voice. “What’s the matter?" Jimmy whis pered to Frisky Squirrel, who sal be side him. "A'ou laughed," Frisky told him. "A\ hat were you laughing at? That was a sad tune.” Jimmy Babbit felt very uncomfort able. lie saw that he lmd blundered. Indeed he soon discovered that he had broken up the concert. For the musicians refused to play any more. They said that their feelings were hurt. Though the whole company, includ ing Jimmy Babbit himself, begged them to go on. they left their seats and wouldn't come back. And they didn't give another concert all the rest of that year.
