The so called mike" apples of easter
Connecticut have a queer history. 40 1t j.
related. Micah Rood was once thrifty
farmer in old Norwich town. His habits
suddenly changed, and he became idle rest
less and incorporate He neglected his
work and Stunned his neighbors. Some
thought the change due to witehcraf.,
others to insanity. When the apple trees
blossomed in the spring, on one tree the
flowers had turned from white TO red. The
neighbors wondered much. and especially
as Rood was drawn to this tree by a resist
less fascination. When the yellow apples
ripened in the fall, each one was found to
contain n red globule which was known
afterward as the drop Of blood"
The people remembered that foreign
peddler had passed through the village IN
the previous fall and had stopped over
night at Rood's house, and the story grew
that he hal killed him for his money aud
buried the body under this tree. Search
revealed nothing concerning the peddIer,
but the people said the evidence Of Kood's
guilty was summed up Ia his disturbed
spirit and the blood mottled apples. Micah
Rood lost all interest in his farm, became
dependent on the town and died in I'LL.
But 30 long AS the blood spotted appies
grow they will be known az the mike
apples and will perpetuate the story OF his
life-Bostot Transcript.

him, but then they announced it to be a
mighty ticalish performance to undertake
with him. ".--s
Then I'll go alone" said the bathing
master, aud he did.
As the fish worked its way slowly In
shore it was observed that the water near
it was dyed red rs if from a wound, and
this lent encouragement to the bathing
master who swan out to where there was
about 10 feet of water. Then he edged
cautiously mp to the side Of the shark
seized IA fin and boldly inserted one hand In
the gill of the fish There was only a slight
struggle, and then the man guided the
shark more directly in shore and called for
assistance. AS soon as the men on the
beach saw that his captive made no resist
ance there was plenty of help, and the
prize was quickly brought to the water :
edge and landed upon the sand, where it
was found to be suffering from very ugly
slash, which had already brought it to -
dying condition. Further knitting fol
lowed without delay, and when the shark
was measured it was found TO be about $
feet in length. It's mouth was a fornid
able opening, and its sharp, white teeth

Notwithstanding the plaud1,s that were
generally showered upon the bathing mas

declined to help him, who could not see
anything worthy of praise in the deed. But
