It was brighter there, almost light. He shook himself, his breast puffed, and the yellow bill dipped into the gray down of his under-feathers and, turning, plied in and out, up and down below the ruddy surface. Now and then he would examine a quill with special care, coddling it tenderly in his bill. Here and there he would train a downy shaft out to its veined tip; and, occasionally, all the feathers of his fluffy breast would rise gently, and slowly fall. Within was health; at one hundred and four degrees the tiny furnace ofbird-life glowed; without, all round about the red breast and dusky back, dark hemlock nee dles rustled swish, swish, in the keen air of earliest dawn. Bobbie was home again; he had come last evening; folded and tucked away were the air-fans, and the little dynamo which ran the air-ship on the long migra tion flight this morning gave the softest current of home love. The sun had gotten up; Bobbie craned his neck out as far as he could and looked about. Below lay the apple orchard of thirty trees, beyond was the long down ward slant of open ground, the car-line and the hill, woody Crest. Close by rose the white pillars of the old homestead with its broad, flat roof; and back of the homestead stretched a tiny wooded ridge. Upon a ledge of the middle pillar near the top were the rem nants of a robin's nest of last year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
