Peter had set the imagination of
old David on fire. He was heart and
soul in harmony with the plan of
surprising the banqueters with Scotch
fare purely. And so it came about.
1t was a marvellous success. Upon
the eventful night men who saw be-
fore them the unadulterated products
of their home soil, grew tender and
loyal, and the hall rang with unre.
strained enthusiasm that marked the
occasion as glowing and grand.
Now at the banquet was one Peter
Wilbur. And 1t so happened that at
the home Of this stalwart son of
Scotia, now a prosperous business
man, Jessie had secured employment.
Peter had taken home one of the
mutton pies to remind his wife of old
times, as he had been reminded, and
Mrs. Wilbur had given it to Jessie.

Jessie took the pie and began to
partake Of it with eyes retrospective
and fearful. A taste made her sob.

he recalled the wretched woman on
