CTUFFY PETE took his seat on the third
- bench to the right as you enter
Union Square from the east, at the walk
opposite the fountain. Every Thanks
giving Day for nine years he had taken
his seat there promptly at one o'clock.
For every time he had done 50 things
had happened to him Charles Dickensy
things that swelled his waistcoat above
his heart, and equally below it.
But today Pete was not hungry. He
had just come from feast that had left
him of his powers barely those of respi-
ration and locomotion.
The meal had been an unexpected one
He was passing red brick mansion near
the beginning of Fifth Avenue, in which
lived two old ladies of ancient family
and a reverence for traditions. One of
their traditional habits was to station
a servant at the postern gate with orders
to admit the first hungry wayfarer that
came along after the hour of noon had
struck, and banquet him to finish.
Stuffy Pete happened to pass by on his
way to the park, and the seneschals
gathered him in.
AFTER Stuffy Pete had gazed straight
before him for 10 minutes he was con-
scious of desire for more varied field
of vision With a tremendous effort he
moved his head slowly to the left. And
then his eyes bulged out fearfully, and
his breath ceased, and the rough-shod
ends of his short legs wriggled and rustled
on the gravel.

across Fourth Avenue toward his bench.
Every Thanksgiving Day for nine
years the Old Gentleman had come there
and found Stuffy Pete on his bench.
That was thing that the Old Gentle
man was trying to make tradition of.
Every Thanksgiving Day for nine years
he had found Stuffy there, and had led
him to restaurant and watched him
eat big dinner. They do those things
in England unconsciously. But this is a
young country, and nine years is not 50
bad. The Old Gentleman was staunch
patriot, and considered himself pioneer
in American tradition.
The Old Gentleman was thin and tall
and CO. He was dressed all in black, and
wore the old-fashioned kind of glasses
that won't stay on your nose. His hair
was winter and thinner than it had been
last year, and he seemed to make more
use of his big, knobby cane with the
crooked handle.
Good morning" said the Old Gentle
man. Il am glad to perceive that the
vicissitudes of another year have spared
you to move in health about the beautiful
world. For that blessing alone this day
of thanksgiving is we'll proclaimed to
each of us. If you will come with me,
my man, will provide you with dinner
that should make your physical being
accord with the mental
That is what the Old Gentleman said
every time The words themselves almost
formed an Institution. Always before
they had been music in Stuffy's ears.
But now he looked up at the Old Gentle
mans face with fearful agony in his
own. The fine snow almost sizzled when
it fell upon his perspiring brow. But the
Old Gentleman shivered a little and
turned his back to the wind.
Stuffy Pete looked up at him for a
half minute. And then Stuffy made a
noise that sounded like peas bubbling
in pot.
''Thankee, sir. I'll 60 with ye, and
much obliged. I'm very hungry, sir"
The coma of repletion had not pre-
vented from entering Stuffy's mind the
conviction that he was the basis of an
Institution. His Thanksgiving appetite
was not his own; it belonged by all the
sacred rights of established custom, if

not by the actual Statute of Limita-
tions, to this kind old gentleman who
had pre-empted it.
The Old Gentleman led his annual
protege southwark to the restaurant
where the feast had always occurred.
The Old Gentleman sat across the
table glowing like smoked pearl at his
cornerstone of future ancient Tradition.
The walters heaped the table with holi-
day food - and Stuffy, with a sigh that
was mistaken for hunger's expression.

himself crown of imperishable bay.
Turkey. chops, soups, vegetables, pies,
disappeared before him as fast as they
could be served. He saw the look of
benefcent happiness on the Old Gentle
mans face and he had not the heart
to see it wane. In an hour Stuffy leaned
back with battle won.
'"Thankee kindly, sir" he puffed like
aleaky steam pipe, "thankee fol. a hearty
meal"
They parted as they did each year, the
Old Gentleman going south, Stuffy north.
Around the first corner Stuffy turned.
and stood for one minute. Then he
seemed to puff out his rags as an owl
puffs his feathers, and fell to the sidewalk
like a sunstricken horse.
When the ambulance came, the young
surgeon and the driver cursed softly at
his weight. There was no smell of whisky
to justify transfer to the patrol wagon,
so Stuffy and his two dinners went to the
hospital. There they began to test him
for strange diseases.
And 10! an hour later another ambu-
lance brought the Old Gentleman. And
they laid him on another bed and spoke
of appendicitis, for he looked good for
the bill.
But pretty soon one of the young doc
tors met one of the young nurses and
stopped to chat with her about the cases.
THAT nice old gentleman over there,
now" he said. you wouldn't think that
was a case of almost starvation. Proud
old family, l guess. He told me he hadn't
eaten thing for three days..
