ackdaw's nest from hole under the beliry
window in the tower of All Saints Church,
Derby. AS it WAS impossible TO reach it stand
ing, and equally impossible to reach that height
from without they resolved to put plank
through the window; and while the heavier
boy secured its balance Ivy sitting on the end
within the lighter boy was to hx himself on
the opposite end and from that pcriIous sltua-
ton 10 roach the object Of their desire. So far
the scheme answered. The little fellow took
the nest and finding in it five hcdgcd young
birds announced the news to his companion
Five are thcrc I" replied he" then I'll havo
three" Nay,n exclaimed the other, indig-
nantly, L" run all the danger, and Ill have
three You shall not, still maintained the
boy inside, you shall not Promise me three,
or I'll drop YOU Drop me- II you please"
replied the little hero, ''but III promise you no
more than two upon which his companion
slipped off the plank. Up tilted tho end, and
down went the boy, upwards Of n hundred feet
TO the ground The little fellow, at the mo-
mcnt of his fall was holding his prize by their
logs, three in one hand and two in the other
and they finding themselves descending iiut
