fully has their old love for New England been re-
vived. and association and memory bring them into
old fellowships with a zest they have never felt
before. There are also great many veterans.

PIE FOR srxTEEN IN LONDON.
An American Traveller Finds Amusc
ment In Place that Fascinated
Dickens.


There is q pie shop in London that
Charles Dcke ems used to stand before, when,
as child, he drudgod in blacking fac
tory. Every day, on his way to and from
work, he paused to devour the viands
with his eyes, and sometimes, as he said,
he pressed his tongue TO the window panes,
as IL by doing that he got little bit of
taste OF the good things that lay so near,
vet were so far beyond his reach. An
American railroad man, who admircs
Dickens, hunted up this pio shop when he
was recently In London, in order TO crafty
sentiment and curiosity. II proved to be
mere box Of a place, In poor quarter OF
the city, but tho original business was still
conducted there, and pastry of doubtful
uncertain age still occupied the window.
AZ the traveller peered into the sbadowy
interior a voice piped at his elbow
Please, sir, will you buy mo veal pieY"
The owner Of the voice was small, dis
hevelled person, with whom veal pie or
any other kind would have agreed right
well, and he made his request from motives
of undoubted and strenuous personal
interest. The American replied, an
Americans do sometimes, with another
question:
"How many boys do you suppose that
shop could hold7
al dunno. About nftecn or sixteen, I
should think.
Z" Well, you go and get fifteen moro
boys, and bring them back here. -
The boy studied tho mans faco for mo.
ment, rs If to make sure that he was In the
enjoyment Of his senses, then hurled him
self into side street with n yell. Hardly
minute elapsed before he returned, the
head of procession of sixteen gamns, as
sorted AZ TO size and clothing. unanimous
in appetite and hope. This ragged batta-
lion assembled close behind the bcneiac-
tor and followed him precipitately into
the shop when he announced that Id was
going to give them all the pic they wanted,
Fora quarter of an hour the astonished
baker served "wenl an 'am" pies, hand
over hand, TO the sixteen astoDished youth
of London, while tho American sat down
and watched tho scck with hardly less
astonishment. Few words were spoken
and the onslaught was force and persis-
tent while 1t lasted as the charge at Tel-el.
Kebir. The exhaustion of supplies brought
the banquet to an end, and the traveller
paid the score, thinking IL little TO pay. il
view OF the fun he had had, while the boy,
stumbled into tho street, cheering feebly on
vcconnt ofthcir gorged condition, and wen
t6NApread the news of this miracle through
the cNnes of London.
