1 THES BOSS SAVED -THE NEST. 
WHEN the old schooner Lincoln was hauled 
/\p at Ellsworth, Maine, early in May, says the 
|Vorld, a pair of robins came and built their 
jest in the folds of the furled gafftopsail, just 
jver the mainmasthead, and there raised an 
jiteresting and hungry family. Soon a crew of 
|hipbuilder Curtis’s men were set to work re- 
jairing the vessel, and when one of them went 
loft he discovered the robins’ nest. The man 
sked his boss what to do about it. ; 
“Robins?” mused the boss, as he gazed aloft. 
/Robins—waal, you jist let ’em alone. Never 
jruv no babies f’m home yit, an’ aint’ goin’ t’ 
egin now. When this here hooker’s ready to 
jo she kin git a new gafftops’l or go ’thout. 
lerned ’f I keer.” 
And so the robin family stayed and prospered, 
|hile the chips flew on deck and the men with 
j1e adzes and mallets strained their necks look- 
|g up to get a glimpse of the birds. When the 
Jincoln was ready for sea a man went aloft, 
ok the nest tenderly from the topsail, brought 
down and set it up on a high pole in the ship- 
ird, with Mrs. Robin and the children in it. 
\"hen Father Robin came back from a foraging 
Jip he lamented greatly over the disappearance 
home and family, but soon he caught the chirp 
| his wife, and straightaway he flew to the new 
cation, bearing joy and a fat worm, 
“Cute little critters,’ remarked the boss of the 
ipyard. “Who'd boost ’em outer house an’ 
me?” No one boosted them, and so it was 
at the Lincoln’s gafftopsail wasn’t patched.
