woman of fine taste, who had brought
her best to America; for no one had a

wood and field. When she found a
nest she had it moved carefully after
nightfall, under bit, of netting, and
fastened somewhere about the gables.
Around the Hermitage were many
withered boughs and briers holding
cones OF wrought fiber, each citadel
of these uniformed soldiers Of the air
and. the poisoned arrow. They were
assembled in. colonies of yellow, white,
