Ing a guest who contributed nothing to his
revenue and did not even take the trouble
to register. The guest was a source OF
ANNOYANCE to some OF the paying patrons,
and the mana ger decided to dispossess
the souatter. which was nothing more
nor less than a hen carrier pigeon that had
made her homo on ledge near the top Of
the building
Mrs. Pigeon had hastily constructed
rude nest on the ledge as she heard the call
of the stork and depositing two eggs therein
proceeded to get on them. Where she came
from no one about the hotel knew. She
had probably been on q hoining flight
when her maternal instincts induced her to
seek resting place, and liking the looks OF
the Hotel Netherland she dropped down
there.
She might not have been disturbed In
her new quarters II some pi geons of the COM
mon variety had not gathered about the
ledge and set up great cooling that annoyed
the hotel guests. Mrs. Pigeon herself
remained silent in her ness wh, e sne oo was

One Of the hotel employees took the pigeon.
her nest and the two eggs from the ledge
aud ca rried them to the Central Park me-
ma gerie and turned them over to Director
Smith. The eggs were taken to the flying
cage and put In the dovecote and the
pigeon also was liberated there. without
making any fuss over her temporary i'm
prisonment she climbed upon the eggs
a gain as though determined to stick until
the Youngsters were Matched out.
