in prison was made one long nightmare of * horror. On the verge of madness from this sort of treatment, managed to ob tain temporary freedom, on some techni cality, preceding a new trial. He lied the Country, forfeiting his hail, and took care not to return until such time ;is ertain political interests had "fixed" his case. His gains as ward man had been dissipated to the last penny in lawyer's fees, in his desperate fight to keep out of prison. And now, his position gone, he was glad to take the humblest kind of employment in order that his family might not be denied the bare necessities of life. Tin case of Kennedy will show the ethical point of view of many of the per sons who deal in vice. Kennedy kept a low resort nenr the water front in New York. On the ground floor was a saloon; on the floor above was a brace gam bling hall. The rest of the building was used for low dive purposes. The police spoke of it as the "department store." Notwithstanding the fact that a steady stream of gold poured into Kennedy's pockets, he was always "broke," always in money straits. The reason was that every night he would go to a faro bank uptown, blow in his big bills, and then squander what was left in carousing. His industrious and patient wife used occasionally to go to his lawyer for ad vice as to how to meet many pressing claims. Once, when everything seemed dark, she confided to the sympathetic law yer the story of Kennedy's misdoings up town in faro bank and barroom, and wound up pathetically with: "Why can't he confine himself to his |o»u legitimate business?"

'• We are glad to welcome sailors here," he said. "We have been told that there are many in the Harbor. If you can wait to meet the Rev. . . ." "I 'ye a lady friend," began Biscuit; but the other cut in: "The Pastor's class is for . . .er . . . men only . . ." Bemis turned; for Minna had flown. He overtook her on the run. "What 's the trouble . . ." 1 ' Leave me be! " she cried passion ately. "You go that way; I '11 go this. You 're all right, , ' she gasped. "But they think I'm . , . I 'm . . . since I 'm in your company." He began to see red, and stepped nearer. '' Go away!'' she cried; and stamped her foot. '' Can 't you see how they look at me!" Ten minutes later, H. Bemis straight ened himself from the balustrade against which he had leaned, and threw his head back. He rolled a cigaret. Then, he walked briskly back across town — one block, two, and three — the way he had first come. He paused at the corner of the fourth, by the river front. * ' Four blocks'' had effaced itself from his brain And though his lips were set, he heard men's laughter within and a woman singing, as he pushed through the cafe door. 'Jjd freshen apples: Apples that have \#Qp in a dry cellar or pit all winter are often so dry and withered that you can hardly cook them. The best way to re new them is to soak them in water for forty-eight hours. Wash the apples clean, and put them in a wooden tub or stone crock; never put them in tin or copper. Pour clear, cold water on them and change the water every six hours. Add a handful of salt to every three gallons of water, and the apples will become fresh.
