a Mother Martin Dies and a Strange BIRD
Is Coaxed to Hatch the Brood.

A Mother Martin Dies and Strange Btrd
Is coaxed to Hatch the Brood.
Under the treIIsed porch of a cottage
was martins nest, which was re-
paired every season for at least three
seasons, and from which d brood Of
four or five young birds took their
flight year by year. The porch was COW
cred with zinc, and the nest was built
against the wall close to the angle
formed by the slanting sides Of the
roof.
One morning, before the brood was
Matched, one Of the old birds was found
in the porch dead, owing probably to
the unusual heat of the sun shining
upon the zine covering, which was only
few inches above the nest. Opposite
the porch and separated from it by the
width of the garden walk, was an arch
Of wire covered with roses and honey
suckles.
About II o'clock in the morning the
day when the bird had been found
dead an unusual twittering was heard,
and martin. presumed to be the male
bird, was observed flying in and out Of
the porch onto the arch, and evidently
endeayoring to coax another bird into
his snug quarters.
After while the second martin took
several short fights. and Owed under
the porch with her companion, who
tWittered and few around her in
state of the greatest excitement.
This continued for about half an
hour, until the stranger took possession
Of the nest, where she finally Matched
the brood.
