HE little waltress in the blue dress had an uncanny ability to take ple from the pan with- out breaking the crust or los- ing the slightest bit of the precious filling. And as the result of her ability she was unanimously elected by the other waitresses of the Coffee Cup Inn to stand at the ple case during each meal hour and slice off the de iiclous morsels for the patron's desert, But it happened that the morning when the pastry cook pushed several dozen steaming blackberry pies into the ple case the telephone the given to the that dress flurried intervals on very HEeWS was the little was sick helplessly rang and manager the blue waitresses the ple case at to the They burned thelr fingers on the siz- waitress in Four other discover mysterious secret zling juice that oozed up curved little air They pushed dull knives slowly the pastry only to find that the followed the blade to the pan while oozed holes in the crust crust the bottom the delicious till messily to the top It situation and sistant in the end, Customers coffee urn boiled ager had been out before, The wis every Hs precarious his kick, the cafe hegan to wis over and man too late the night same situation existed when for his breakfast and sat arrived down Somehow he always sat at found morning that table she This bad always pecting him. in unusually and she was ¢ spirits because of pie cuts but was slightly cheered by the sight of him, this was breakfast. for breakfast She was very He rarely ordered ple “Just had a late date lust night and didn't want to get up.

At noon, if he wanted some, the ple would be cold and much easier to cut. Perhaps, also, the waitress In the blue dress would be back to her accustomed stand by that time. She sighed as she thought of the regular ple cutter. She was a pretty good scout after all, even If she did make eyes at the express driver. She returned to his table and hesl- tated slightly as she started to tell him the story of the ple—that It was gone—all gone, “Ihe blackberry pie is." But she got no further.
