lny tho nhliot rvnolved toncnd them, lint ho
wm at n loss how to do no without tho risk of
their being Mired on tho wny. At length ho
hit upon tho novel Idea of putting them In n
plonnd scndliiKlt nun present to tho com-
inUalonerm Ho clioso for Ins nnxsencrr u
loy unined Jack Homer, tho son of iioor
paronU HvIiir In tho nol(;hhorhool, thinking
thut no ono would Intorfero with n Hor lad
crrylnff a plo tied up In n cloth.
Bo Jnck put out with hi plo on hi journey
to London, which was n long dlttnnro from
Glastonbury, Ho grow tired nndsntdowu
by tho wnyildo to rest, nud worso still, ho
grow hungry. Ho openod hi jxirocl nnd
looked longingly nt tho plo with Its high
raised crust. Thero must bo something very
nice Insldo, ho thought porhnp plunul
Could ho not get one out without tho plo bo
lag any tho worsol Ha would try. Ho b
put In his thumb and pullol out a musty,
old, folded up ploco of parchment I Such was
Jack' astonishment and disappointment
ho peeped Into tho pic, and found beneath
Its upper crust nothing but parchment.
Now jack could not read, but thinking that
tho parchment ho had pulled out might bo
worth money ho put It In his jiocket, tied up
tho parcel and inado hi way to London,
wlwro ho delivered up tho plo.
When tho commUaloiiers opened tho plo
tlioy found that tho most inluablo deed tho
ono relating to tho nbboy was missing. It
wa believed that tho abbot had pur-oscly
withhold It, o ho was hanged without n
trial An old parchment was nfterward
found In tho possession of tho Horner family,
which proved to bo tho missing titlo deed,
and tho circumstance of It preservation or
