Again the mother hovered round, and a wild, weird cry rang through the glen. “For the first time I bad beard the yelp of tbe adult eagle, the voice ! of the queen of birds railing to her young. The eaglet cheeped continuous- i ly until he flapped to the very edge of the abyss, listening to her call. And now he. too, changed bis cry: his voice seemed to break, mid the adult yell burst from his throat. Tbe eagles called to each other, yelp answering yelp. The young eagle gazed round hint, spread out his giant wings and vanished forever from my sight among the ledges below. The eaglet had left the nest and had flown.” Poor Simila.
