sounding subdued and anxious lest the
visitors who pry SO curiously bring
harm to her and hers. Beyond the
robins nest, and concealed fat on the
ground, is the nest OF an Oregon to-

curvingly and make tiny cave. The
nest is wonderfully built from pro-
tective standpoint and can scarce be
distinguished from its surroundings.
The three eggs are still warm. but
while the camera was being unlimbered
and during all the focusing and fuss

a negative that shows UP clear there
was no cry or call of alarm. The own
