Sheridan and his men were in the hollow

See here. Mr. Corliss said be, here's .
birds neat that we've found. and that's
got 10 60.
He showed the manufacturer = robin
sitting upon q nest tha. had been built
fast and snug, 10 crevice OF tho rock
among some bushes that grew there. The
bird few OF her nest as the men came near
Aad showed i've blue eggs that looked IS
liz they had Just been laid.
Can We move that nest somewhere else?
asked Mrs. Corliss.
I'm afraid not, sir. We'd tear II H.

likely that you could get the bird to so
10 sitting again anywhere else. We've
got 10 60 on, SO we may rs we'll rip il mp
and throw the eggs away.
No. said Corliss, we won't disturb her.
Let her bring out her brood right there
Rut we'll have to stop the work on the
building.
Let it stop, then.
Aud so orders were given that opera.
tions on the addition should be suspend

stood still. drawing their pay for doing
nothing. or next to nothing, while the
robin sat on her nest with her air OF
consequence and Jealous attention to
business. and had her food brought to
her by her mate. and OF last hstched her
brood. Aud then there were three weeks
more to 60 by, at the least, before the
young ones could fly. Corliss visited the
nest frequently, not with any uneasiness
or impotence to have the robin and the
young ones out Of the way. but with
genuine interest In their growth The
old birds had all the time they wanted :;
aud when at last they had sternly helped
the clumsy, reluctant youngsters over
the edge Of the nest, and they showed
themselves able to get about on their
own hook, orders were given to resume
the building operations; and the dull
boom Of the gunpowder tearing the rocks
apart was heard where the birds had
peeped.
