They carried a lantern and to pre-
vent the glare Of the light in their
eyes had wrapped a red handker-
chief around the globe. Warned
of the approach Of No. they were
compelled 10 stop and remove their
car from the track at point where
the grade was high and the men by
main force were holding the car from

bottom of the grade several feet below.
One Of the men was just drunk enough
to draw CUR and shoot in the direc-

as unnecessarily burning them with
the steam and causing them to lose
their car. When the news came out

held up. its engineer wounded, etc,
and the Investigation started to find

Opportunity.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-02-10

On the 2eth Of April one Of the pair
spied a tuft of cotton which | had
fastened on the window sill. where
they came for food. 1t began at once
and continued to carry away until the
supply was exhausted. A second and
then a third bunch was also taken, but
the next day they did not seem to
notice it, so l suppose the nest was
completed. The little bird picked the
cotton into the fluffiest pieces imagina-
bic and took so much in its bill that
could see the cotton glisten in the sun
as far as 1 could see the bird. From
watching it's course and noting the
length OF time for a trip, I formed
some idea Of where the nest might be
located.

Commencing with the chickadees,
fCw words may be necessary to bridge
ths time between the March report
and the nesting season. OF the five
which would readily light on head or
hand for food, only pair remained at
the middle Of April. All had been un-
usually fearless during the first part Of
the month. Frequently one would
alight on my cap when there was one
on each hand. Twice four came to me
at once. The first time two on my
head and one on each hand. Another
day two on one hand, one on the other
and one on my heal.

saw but one bird, and its feathers
were so rumpled that l was not sure
whether il was the male or female, but
thought it was the former. Evidently
something had befallen it's mate and
this one was having a hard time to
feed the nestlipgs. It followed me
across the lot and would have come to
me If there had been anything to offer
Il. OF course, there was always a
supply at the window, but it evidently
appreciated having it near by. After
three days the chickadee stopped com
ing TO the window and when l went to
see the nest, just one week from my
first trip, l was very sorry to find
that the limb where the nest was had
broken off about three inches below
the doorway and was lying on the
ground. The door measured one and
one-quarter inches wide by one and
one-haf long. The limb was nine
inches in circumference at the break.
Just a shell of decayed bark, through
which one could easily thrust a COM
mon pin. Too fran a home to with
stand strong wind. The nest, which
was on the ground near by, was of
felted cows hair, moss, cotton and the
woolly material which covers the
stems Of coarse ferns. It was much
soiled and contained one egg.

During the nest building and for a
week or two afterward they did not
seem as tame as usual, but by the
middle OF May they again began to eat
readily from my hand at the window.
The female would fiutter her wings and
beg for food of her mate as young birds
do. On June LIST they began to carry
away soft food suitable for nestlings.
The next morning one was so eager for
food that when l raised the window on
a spool and was about to hold out my
hand It could not wait as usual, but
reached under. seized a piece Of the
yOlk Of q hard boiled egg and few
away.
Two DAYS later 7 started out to To-
cate the nest. The first suitable tree
in the line of flight was an old apple
tree near the edge of the woods a
dozen or more feet from the ground, in
a dead limb, were a number Of holes
made by woodpeckers, but no chicka-
dees were to be seen. Finally one
little farther on in the woods answered
my call Of "Dee-dee." So climbing
tottering wall and pushing through
bushes, I reached the place and held
out food. 1t took bit and went far
Their back in the woods. The second
and third time it went out of the
woods toward the apple tree. l follow
ed and stood beside a bush not far
rom the tree. Then for two or three
times, not being quite willing to en-
trust its secret to me. it flew back of
the bush and then to the tree, instead
OF taking direct course as it did later
] soon moved under the tree, where l
could see that it disappeared on the
opposite side Of dead limb. The bird
now showed no fear, and crossing to
the other side Of the tree, I saw that
the nest was in one Of the woodpeck-
sr's holes that I first noticed. The bird
came to me "a times and carried awav
all the food I had 1t would take all it
could hold i'm its bill and fly to the
hole. where It would cling to the edge
and reach in.
