TOOK AWAY HIS APPETITE
Lover Of Mince Pie Had Decided OBJ
lection to Sharing the Dellcacy
With Restaurant Cat.

Until recently Detective Sergeant
Tim Bailey was lover of mince pie.
Today If anyone offered him bakery
full Of mince pies he would turn on
his heel and do a quick countermarch.
Ftguratively he has had his fill of the
good old pastry.
At dinner time one day not long
ago Bailey went into little restaurant
near the Hall of Justice. Three
boiled eggs, cup Of Java and II by
IA wedge of mince pie" he told the
waiter
Bailey polished off the eggs and
coffee in great shape, and then at
tackled the pie. He had just begun
when a big black cat that had been
reposing on the counter a few feet
away awoke, stretched, struck at a
vagrant fly with chubby paw, and
then leaped into the display window
Of the place. The window was laden
with delicacies to allure the hungry
passerby.
The first thing that Tabby made for
was the remains Of the pie that had
been cut for Bailey. Kitty's first bite
was Bailey's last. He dropped his
fork with bang, reached for his hat
and rushed up to the counter.
"Sa-a-y," he cried, what are you
running here, restaurant or ken
mel club?" He paid his bill, and was
away down the street before the
dazed keeper of the place could catch
his breath-New York Times.

CHAPTER ~.
Times Have Chained.

The SD of the Browns had started
for La Tir on the same day that the
128th of the Grays had started for
South La Tir. While the 12Sth was
going to new scenes, the SD was re-
turning to familiar ground. 1t had de-
trained in the capital Of the province
from which its ranks had been recruit
ed. After steep incline. there was a
welcome bugle note and with shouts
Of delight the centipede's legs broke
apart! Bankers, laborers', doctors
Wallets, butchers, manufacturers and
judges sons threw themselves down
on the greensward of the embankment
to rest. With their talk of home, OF
relatives whom they had met at the
station, and of the changes in the town
was mingled talk of the crisis.
Meanwhile, an aged man was ap.
preaching. At times he would break
into kind of trot that ended, after a
few steps, in shortness Of breath. He
was quite withered, his bright eyes
twinkling out of an area of moth
patches, and he wore frayed uniform
coat with a medal on the breast.
