Americas success in the Olympic

A CUNNING Little Bird.

A naturalist had been searching for
the eggs Of the little dunlin in Siberia
and came upon nest. The bird quiet
ly slipped off and began to walk
around the man. now and then pecking
on the ground, as if feeding. seldom
going more than six feet from him and
often approaching within eighteen
inches. The tameness OF the bird was
almost ludicrous. She seemed so ex-
, tremely tame that the man almost
thought for the moment that he could
catch her. and. getting on all fours, he
crept quietly toward her. As soon as
he began TO move from the nest the
birds manner entirely changed. She
shuffled along the ground as if lame.
She dropped her wings. as if unable to
fly. and occasionally rested on her
breast with dropping wings. as if dy-
ing. Finally when she eluded him and
darted into the underground he found
that he had lost the location OF the
nest.
