4 Maine gentleman says that a pair of
robins had their nest on fence near his
mousse. while pair OF cat-blrds had built III
bush near by. The TWO pairs Matched out
then Young at about the same time, ANA all
went well for several days. Then the cat-
birds were seen no more; probably they lad
been SHOT
The young cat-birds were evidently staIy-
ing. When the robins came with a worm or
other biz OF food for their young, they always
alighted on the top rail Oh the fence before
hopping down To- the nest, and every time
tins happened the cat-birds opened their
mouths. thrust up their neads ana made
great cutlery.
Presently il was noticed that the robins
were feeding the hungry orphans. Every
night. too, while one OF the robins covered
tn .ir own young. the mate performed the
same service Tor the cat-b.rd lsdgInss.
In TINS way both brOOds were reared. the
cat-Dirds growing up as strong and lively as
though they had been cared for throughout by
their own parents.
