SAMMY was getting an earful. There
was no doubt about that. He
couldn't understand a word of it, but
he could understand that the things
being said to him and about him in
bird language we're not nice things,
not nice at all. But he didn't care
After all they were just birds. He
was climbing up to the nest of We'll
come Robin. He was sure that there
were eggs in that nest and he wanted
TO see them.
He had rather expected that We'll
come and Mrs. Robin would make a
fuss about it, but he hadn't expected
any such racket as now filled the Old
Orchard.
Sounds as if all the birds for a
mile around are squawking," COM
planned Sammy, who being from the
city, didn't know one bird from an
other. That nest can't belong to all
of them, but you would think it does
by the fuss they are making. Fact is
/ don't know which ones it does be-
long to-
OF course, the Robins were leading
the chorus, but it was true that most
OF the birds in the Old Orchard had
gathered in the neighborhood of that
tree, and all were freely expressing
their opinions of the intruder. The
chirps of the Robins were mournful.
but the cries of some of the other
birds were angry.
Presently Farmer Browns Boy ap-
peared to find out what was going on.
He saw Sammy up in the tree. He
| had just reached the nest and was

looking into it. Hi, Sammy! What
are you doing?" cried Farmer Browns
Boy.
Look" cried Sammy There are
four blue eggs!" He held up one. 1t
slipped from his fingers, dropped to
the ground and broke
"Oh!" cried Sue, who had been
looking on. Now see what you've
donei"
Sammy looked chagrined and
little guilty. 'Aw, its nothing but an
egg. The bird will lay another"
said he.
1T may be nothing but an egg, but
it means that there will be one less
Robin this Summer. for Mrs. Robin

will not lay another egg" said
Farmer Browns Boy gravely.
How do you know?" demanded
Sammy.
Because this egg would have
Matched in two or three days. Had
it been newly laid she might have
laid another in its place, but not now.
She won't lay another now. There
will be one less bird than there would
have been but for you" replied his
cousin.
I'm sorry" said Sammy as he be-
gan to climb down. Il didn't mean
to do any harm. 1 just wanted to

they persisted. One day I pulled the
beginnings OF a nest out of that
house dozen times. Then I closed
the entrance. Finally they went over
to the barn and built under the caves.
That was all right because there they
wouldn't interfere with the nesting of
other birds. At that when the Blue
birds arrived and took possession those
SparroWs came over here and just
out of spite tried to drive them out.
Listen to those birdsl Come on,
Sammy. You've upset the whole
orchard"
Sue chuckled. "They certainly are
giving him an earful," said she.

the eggs instead of only one would
she have laid some more?'
Probably, but not in that nest"
replied his cousin. Those Robins
would have built new nest some-
where else, very likely not in the Old
Orchard. just handling the eggs of
some birds is enough to cause them
to desert their nests, and if it hap
pens to be late in the season, they
won't nest again. Never to touch the
eggs in nest is a good rule. Of
course, there are some birds, like
the English Sparrows, that, having
chosen a place for nest, just won't
give it up. The Winsome Bluebird,s
nest is in that house over there. but

Bully out of it. They took possession
before the Bluebirds arrived this
Spring. They had the nest completed
when ! discovered it. I pulled it out. :"
"Oh, you mean thing!" cried Sue

Farmer Browns Boy. "It was the
only way could make them under
stand that they had no business
there. You know they don't belong in
this country any way, and they in
terfere with some of the birds who
do belong here. The next day they
had another nest well started in that
same house. pulled that out. Still
