For five years young Morgan has

an authority than James J.. Hill. The
young man, who is a director in the

when factor she had not considered
came into play. The tireless spirit
of Seattle James remained unwearied,
but his teeth were fading away. Ev.
cry time he bit into an emery straw.
berry the emery sharpened his teeth
little more, and the sharper and
finer his teeth became, until at length
they wore away entirely. In less than
half an hour he had worn his teeth
entirely off, and when he realized
that they were gone he uttered long
soul-racking cry, took last bite at
the pie with his toothless gums, and
started north on a dead run. Nothing
more has been seen of him since.
AS soon as he was out Of sight Miss
Allegretto took the pie and nailed II

mains. Once or twice day tramp

meet a strawberry pie once week,
and it vexed Miss Allegretto.
Miss Allegretto is properly proud Of
her strawberry pies, and she likes
praise, and the best praise is the eat
ing them, but when Seattle James be-
gan coming every Tuesday, and also
began sending another pie-loving no.
bo for each other day Of the week,
Miss Allegretto began feeling that she
was becoming mere refractory. and
that 1t was interfering with her duties
as one of our leading social lights.
No lady can turn out a continuous
stream of large, circular strawberry
pies, day after day, and week after
week. and still do her duty by the
Betzville Sewing society. And yet
Miss Allegretto had not the heart to
turn a poor pie-hungry hobo from her
door with cruel words.
For several weeks she brooded
mournfully over the situation, and
she was losing flesh rapidly when a
complete solution of the matter came
to her at a meeting Of the Betzville
Sewing society. Uncle Ashdod Clute
himself said the solution was one of
those strokes of genius that come to
person once in lifetime like \
of lightning out of clear sky.
Miss Allegretto was sewing away
and brooding, and didn't know what
In the world to do, when she noticed
that her needle was little dull, and
she reached into her sewing bag and
pulled out her emery bag to sharpen
her needle a little. Her emery bag
like every other emery bag in Betz.
vile, was shaped like, and looked like
a ripe red strawberry, and the mo-
ment she saw it. the solution came in
to her mind Without moment
hesitation she gathered up all the
emery strawberries in the Sewing SO
ciety and then excused herself and
went home and made a strawberry
pie out of them. When the pie was
completed it was one of the best look
| ing strawberry pies Betzy1lle had ever
seen turned out by Miss Allegrettc

Half an hour later Seattle James

when he saw the pie resting peaceful
" on the window sill he grinned Joy

his mouth and took bite. Miss A,

struggle that followed but the meet
ing Of an irresistible force and an i'm
