188 DAYS OUT OF DOORS. 



The bluebirds had been robbed and, of course, had 

 caught the fly-catchers in the act. The event narrated

 in the young nest of the latter, the bluebirds' home was 

 empty. 



Even in the seemingly gentle song-bird world, every 

 community is made up of saints and sinners.
