He had thrown out but one, when the blue bird discov cred him, and with loud cries made an immediate at- tack.

The blue bird gave up the chase. and returned to examine the condition of his nest. The egg had luckily fallen on a soft bed, and was not broken. Afier a careful ex- amnatiOn.he took it in his claws and rcturn- ed it safely to the nest.
