When Hoary `'Ill .uppleweed the mon-
asteries and drove the pour old monks
from their nests, the title deeds of the
Abbey of Melia -including the sumo -
SOUS grange built by Abbot Bellwood -
were demanded by the commissioner*
The Abbot of Glsatouburg determined
that be would send them to Luu
dor., and, a the documents were
very valuable and ilia road sufestest by
thuv.,it was dittcult to get them to the

H. ordered a pie to be made -as fine
as ever smoked on a refrectxy table;
inside he put the documents -the finest
tilling • pie ever had since pies were first
made, and he entrusted bis dainty to a
lad named Horner to carry up to
London, to deliver safely into the
bands for wham it was intended. But
the journey was luog and the day
cold, and the buy was hungry, and the
nie tempting, and the chance of
detection was small. So the boy broke
a piece of the pie, sod beheld s parcb-
i.ent. H. pulled it forte roently
enough, bow it could have
reached there tied up to a pastry, and
arrived in town. The parcel was deliv-
ered, but the title deeds of Mello Abbey

his pocaet. These were the juiciest
plums in the pie. Great was the rage

when Allen's turn came he told this
one:
••1 want to tell you of the grestest

be lighted a cigar and propped his feet
against the wall in true Southern style.
"It was down in Tupelo during the trying
period just after the war. I was at that
tame a practising lawyer -that is, I prac-
tised whenever I had any cases to prac-
tise with. ohne day old 'L nele' Pom-

•' 'Man .john, I wants you to c'larnre.

•'Now, Mars J',hn, said old Pom-
pey, 'here's ten dollars. I jist want y.lu
to try.'
..Well, 1 consented to try,' said Allen.
"The case was to be heard before an old
magistrate named Johnson. He was to-
tally uneducated, and was moreover a
perfect dictator, and no negro ever came
before him who was not hoed the maxi-
mum penalty and sent to his field to
expiate the crime in the sweat of his
brow.
"The magistrate heard the case.
Every possible proof was brought to
show that Pompey at .le the hams.
There could be ne doubt of it front the
testimony. I did not put a rang:e eues-
ti on to any of the witnesses, but when
the testimony was all in I arose. and in
my most dignified manner addressed the
magistrate :
• 'May it please your honor, it 'could

on the testimony. You have heard it,
and know the case as well as I do. How-
ever, it may net 1m out of older for me
to call your honor's attention to a abort
passage in the old English law, which
clearly decides this case, and which, for
the moment, your honor may have for-
got t en. '
"Then I fished down in my pocket and
drew forth, with a great flourish, an old
copy of 'John. C.• sat.' I opened it with
great dignity .t the first page and rand
the line which is familiar to every school
boy, lintels Gallia in parte. tree divisa

throwing the book upon the table. 'That
clearly acquits the defendant.'
With great dignity and solemnity i
then took my seat. The old magistrate
was completely nonplussed. He bs,ked
