' One day I saw a vulture sailing thus,
•ays Ernest Harold Baynes In tbe
Boston Herald, and I carefully marked
his flight until ho descended from the
white clouds and disappeared near the
edge of''* distant wood. Supposing
that bo had come down to feed on some
carrion—a dead horse perhaps, which
had been dragged just outsldo of tbe
woods and left—I made the best of my
way to the spot where I lost sight of
the bird* that I might be • witness to
the feust.
1 urrlved at the wood, but neither
bird nor carcass could I see. Then I
bethought mo that this was tho month
of May, nnd that perhaps the buxxard
bad a nest thereabout. I buuted un
der the bushes, along tbe aide of fallen
trees and In some old stumps which
were standing near, but uot a feather
was to be seen.
~I*reecntly 1 spied a log wblcb^lty
somewhat apart in tho shudow of some
shrill is. and as I approached It out
from soiuewhero came a big turkey
buzzard, which quickly disappeared
behind the trees. On coming up to the
log, which was u (urge one, I found
that It was hollow, and In tho cnvlty
, there were two eggs, which doubtless

port unity to study the young.
The next time I visited tbe hollow
log the parent birds were not In sight,
but In the nest I found two downy
fledgelings, which could scarcely be
called pretty. They were In every way
lesa attractive than young hawks of
tbe samo age. Tboy expressed their
disapproval of my presenco by a weak
growling aound.
I could not vlalt the apot again for
aome weeks, and when I did one of
them had disappeared. Tbe other was
no longer In the hollow log, hot stand*
Ingot a little distance, and I was In
terested to see the change In hie ap
pearance. In tho flrat place, he bad
grown tremendously; the down which
bad formerly covered tbe whole body
was now confined chlofly to the bead,
neck and under parts, and the reet of
tbe bird was clothed with firm black
feathers. He looked fat and well fed.
I reached out my band and caught
him by one wing. But here be had a
surprise for me, for he aelxed my An
ger In hla hooked bill and with a tern
of hla bead twisted off a bit of tbe
flesh before I hud time even to object
After hurriedly cleansing the wound I
again advanced on the enemy, who
was game enough to satisfy any one
and came to the attack with open bill.
Of course he wus not daugerous In the
least, for he wus very young and could
not even fly, but for a fledgeling tbe
grip he could give with his hill was
ustou Ishlng.
However, I picked him up, took Jilm
home nnd tethered hint In the garden
with u strap to one leg. The first night
he ate a good meat of liver, nnd after
that he took almost any kind of meat
that was given him. I let him have
carrion whenever It was convenient,
but at other times be ate freshly killed
frogs, freNli beef, opossum aud even
fish.
One night soon after I had ‘brought
him home I went out to see bow he
looked when he was asleep. It was so
dark, that his black plumage wus not
visible against the grass. All I could
sea of blm wna n white spot his bead,
aa It hung near the ground.
I approached very quietly and was
within live feet when something hap
pened. Out of the dnrkn**ss there came
a flash of white straight toward me
with a s|ieed which caused me to step
quickly backward, and at tbe aame In
atant there waa a startling, rustling
sound, accompanied by a guttural
growl, which for a moment I did not
