SOLVES BIG MYSTERY
For Fifteen Yeare the Doctor Hat
Been Grand High Pigeon-Feeder
of Hie Neighborhood—Henco
the 8tory.
Chicago.—This is the solution of the
mystery of the theft of surgical Instill
ments from the office of Dr. E. W.
Hunter, 1113 East Sixty-third street.
It is a plain unvarnished tale, and
might be entitled “Peanuts, Probes
and Pigeons.”
It begins with the pigeons. They
are the ones that get so familiar on
short acquaintance at the University
avenue station of the “L.” There are
oodles and oodles of them and they be
have as If the station platform were
theirs by prescriptive right. If you
ofTer them a peanut from the slot ma
chine, so conveniently at hand, they
will take it as If they were collecting
a debt long overdue. If you don’t offer
them a peanut they look reproachfully
at you. If there were an Interpreter
of pigeon-English at hand, as in Mark
Twain’s story of the hermit and the
Jaybirds, be would probably tell you
they were remarking:
“This must be one of thostT pikers
from the Gold Coast neighborhood!”
Throws Peanuts to the Birds.
The principal reason the University
avenue pigeons are so cocksure of
their own privileges Is Doctor Hunter.
For 15 years he has had an office over
; looking the “L” station. For the 15
years he has been the Grand High Pig
eon-Feeder of the neighborhood. He
not only throws peanuts to the birds,
but he levies on his friends. Pntients
who visit his office always take in a
few pennies to buy the succuleht fruit
of the goober pea.
At the back of his office Is an old
storeroom, with openings through
which the plegons can fly wjteuever
they are cold or sleepy. And lids is
where the probes come In.
Miscreant Tracked Down.
The doctor has a fine collection of
surgicul instruments. They are the
pride of his heart and the delight ol
Trying to 8hape Them Into a Nest
his eye. They look so nice anjl shiny
and bright In their case one coalil al
most call them tempting If they were
anything else than surgical Instru
ments.
. On one of these recent balmy, spring
like days, the doctor noticed that some
of his probes were gone. The next
day some more bad disappeared. The
doctor became hts own Sherlock. There
were no clues. But today he followed
a trail of surgical Instruments Into the
back room. He was about to tele
phone for the police when he heard as
angry a “look-at-the-coon 1” as ever
came from a pigeon’s throat.
The doctor continued Investigations.
He found his missing surgical Instru
ments piled criss-cross and a mamma
pigeon trying her level best td Shape
them Into a nest.
