feathers and fierce claws landed on
top OF him, but only to scramble on
again as swiftly as possible with
a hoarse sQuawk. He had struck one
of the young eagles IN his fall, murl-
ed it from the nest and brought 1t
down with him to this lower ledge
which had given him so timely a ref
uge.
For seevral minutes. perhaps, he
lay clutching the bush desperately
and staring straight upwards. There
he saw both parent eagles whirling
eXcitedly, screaming, and staring
down at him; and then the edge of
the nest, somewhat dilapidated by
his strange assault, overhanging the
ledge about thirty feet above him
At length his wits came back TO
him, and he cautiously turned his
head to see if he was in danger of
falling if he should relax his hold on
the bush. He was in bewildering pain,
which seemed distributed all over
him: but in spite of it he laughed
aloud, to find that the bush, to
which he hung so desperately, was in
a little hollow on spacious ledge,
from which he could not have fallen
by any chance. At that strange, un
comprehended sound of human laugh
ter the eagles ceased their scream
ing for few moments, and whirled
further aloft.
With great difficulty and anguish,
Horner raised himself to q sitting
position, and tried to find olt how
seriously he was hurt, One leg was
quite helpless. He felt 1t all over,
and came to the conclusion that it
WAS not actually broken; but for all
the uses of a leg, it might as well
have been putty, except for the fact
that it panied him abominably. His
left arm and shoulder. too. seemed
TO be little more than useless in
cumbrances, and he wondered how
SO mary bruises and sparis could
find place on one human body Of
no mere than average s;le. Hcw-
ever, having assured himself. with
infinite relief, that there were no
bones broken, he set his teeth glimly
and looked about to take account
of the situation.
TIC !, continued
