Have the children ever enquired who Jack
Horner was? Here is the tradition:
When Henry VIII suppressed the monster
les and drove the poor old monks from theiI
nests-the title deeds Of the Abby of Mells-
including the sumptuous grange built by Alb
bot Bellwood-were demanded by the commits
sioners. The Abbot of Glastonbury determin-
ed that he would send them to London, and as
the documents were very valuable, and the
roads infested by thieves it was difficult to get
them to the metropolis in safety To accom-
"'ish this end, however, he devised the follow
ing plan:
=. o,uered pie to be made-as fine as ever
smoked on a refectory table; inside he put the
documents-the finest filling a pie ever had
since pies were first made-he intrusted this
dainty to lad named Horner to carry up to
whom it was intended But the Journey was
long, and the day cold. and the boy was hungry,
and the pie was tempting, and the chance of
detection was small So the boy broke off a
piece of pie and beheld the parchment; he
pulled it forth iInocently enough, wondering
how it could have reached there-tied up the
pastry and arrived in town. The parcel was
delivered, but the title deeds of the Mells Abby
were missing-Jack had them in his pocket.
These were the juicest plums of the pie. Great
was the rage of the Commissioners, heavy the
vengeance they dealt out to the monks. Jack
kept his secret and when peaceable times ere
restored, claimed the estates and received them.
Whether Mr.. Horner deserves the title of good
boy" bestowed on him by the nursery lament,
is more than doubtful-however, that's the
story, Is e

for some three months not expected To live Her
doctors and at length her friends gave up al hopes of
her recovery. She was brought home to my house in
