CARRIER PIGEON CALLS.
Hungry Bird Flies Into p. o. De

Wing weary and half starved, a big
blue carrier pigeon flew through a win
dow OF the Post Office Department court
early this morning. perched himself upon
raIter and went TO sleep. He was
discovered by clerks shortly after Q
o'clock. When they approached him he
left his resting place and gave a regular
OrviiDe Wright exhibition, flying in cir
Cles Ground the court.
Finally he grew tired of this, and set
tied down on ledge, where he was
caught without difficulty and taken to
the Doom on the eighth floor where the
dead letters and packages are examined.
The clerks dug into their lunch baskets
for bread and fed the feathered visitor
The way he went after his rations
showed that he must have gone a long
time without food
After few hours rest he was turned
loose Circling awhile over the post Of
flee tower, he flew due north until out of
sight. The pigeon carried no message.
The band on his leg bore the inscription,
IT. Y. 3SO21." His stay at the post Of
fee was made all the more pleasant be-
cause the post Office hawk is away on his
vacation.

the floor, she shrieked and rushed into
the bedroom. AS Eisler and the police
man left the apartment they heard her
scream, and when Shehan returned the
