These are the days when the apple Or
chards are giving up their luscious, mellow
fruit, and the housekeeper, despite the
shortage in pears and peaches finds album
dant material to 'conjure'' with II she is
wise she will do well to serve the apples in
the various ways best suited to their fresh
ness, for the apple, with improved ways Of
storage, canning and evaporating, is now
an all-the-year-round standby. the most
dependable Of all the fruits Of the trees.
Possibly it's very commences renders us
less keenly alive to it's wholesome and even
medicinal qualities. A person who eats
apples freely will seldom be troubled with
dyspepsia. while the phosphorus which 1t
contains in greater abundance than any
other fruit is said to be admirably adapted
for building up the essential nervous mat
ter of the brain and spinal cord It was
doubtless for this reason. though not clear
ly formulated, that the old Scandinavian
legends represent the apple as the favorite
fruit of the gods when they would renew
their powers Of body or mind. For stimu-
lating sluggish liver the apple is to be
preferred to pills" the maic and eallic

was a teacher I'd try to inveigle the board
to give me a barrel of apples along with
the other school supplies. Then if a child
got cranky and wouldn't study I'd send him
out in the hall to eat apples and retire the
rod"
Even as cooked article Of food the apple
is to be highly commended, serving in many
cases as an aid to digestion. Many people
who cannot eat pork veal or roast goose
alone can partake of them with safety IL
accompanied by plenty of well-cooked apple
sauce not too sweet.
AS poultice for weak or inflamed ewes
a roast apple bound on is said to be ex-
tremely eficacious while In Lincolnshire,
England, the same end is attained by the
use of rotten apple poultice.
For a convalescent's menu or in the
nursery q baked apple is the first fruit al
lowed. Some authorities sanction it's use
for babies at fourteen or fifteen months.
While uncooked apples should not be al
lowed children before they are two or two
and half years old. an apple sauce, not
too sweet is to be commended.
Baked Appreciated apples are never
more delicious than when the fruit is
fresh from the trees. Wipe the apples
clean, core them, put little sugar in the
hot water in the baking pan. and bake
in hot oven with frequent hastings. Sour
apples will bake in from twenty to thirty
minutes. Sweet apples take much longer,
and should be covered during the baking
process Served with sweet. thick cream.
they are like Walton's fish-"too good for
any but very honest folk"
For high tea, or some other festive
OCCASION apples steamed tender and their
core cavities filed with candied fruits are
to be commended.

win success in his profession it he
would apply himself. He had once
appeared for the people in a suit to
compel the street railway company to-
pave certain streets, as provided by
the terms Of it's franchise, and had
gained his point against the best Jaw

he refused an appointment as local
counsel for a great railway, and, with
characteristic perverseness, spent the
following summer managing an open
air mission for moor children.

tons out of the rush and drive of all
this that I wouldn't take a good deal

II think I understand how you feel
about it, said Saxton, looking more
closely at this young man, who was
not ashamed to mention his sensations
+ of sentiment to stranger. There
were times in Wyoming when western
| life seemed pretty arid, but when I
| went back to Boston I was homesick
for Cheyenne
That's a far cry, from Boston to
Cheyenne said Raridan, laughing.
He began again volubly: "a good deal

cry from. There's a lot OF talk these
days about the nouveaux riches by

poses as long as possible. The people
here are human beings, and they're |
all good enough to suit me. I'd as
lief be descended from a canvased
ham as an Aston peltry or a Wander

Saxton was walking beside Raridan |
in the lower hall. He felt an impulse
to express gratitude for his rescue |
from the loneliness Of the twilight,
but Raridan, talking necessarily. and
with hands thrust easily into his
trousers pockets, led the way into the
readlng-rOOm. er,s-at. .r@
Hello, Wheaton, didn't know you
were at home" he called to a man
who sat reading a newspaper and
who now rose on seeing a stranger
with Raridan.
II This is Mr.. Saxtor, Mr.. Wheaton"
"Oh, yes" said the man introduced
as Wheaton. II wonder'I whether I
shouldn't see you here. Mr.. Porter
told me you had come =
I've been bringing Mr.. Saxton UP
to date in local history" said Raridan.
Chiefly, concerning yourself, sup
pose," said Wheaton, with a smile that
did not wholly succeed in being ami
able.
1T isn't often I get a chance at
brand new man." Raridan ran on:
I've told the worst about you, SO con-
duct yourself accordingly.
Wheaton ignored Raridan's chatting
way. He seemed very serious, and
had not much to say. He had just
come home, from a tedious trip to the
western part of the state, he said, on an
errand for his bank. He was tall,
slim and dark. There was a SUCCESS
ton of sleepy Indifference in his black
eyes, tho he had well-established
reputation for energy and industry.
Saxton commented to himself that
Wheaton's hands and feet were small
er than he thought becoming in a
man.
Mr.. Porter told me you were quar-
tered here. Ks I hope they can make
you comfortable. I'm personally re-
lieved that you have come. Your
Boston friends were getting very i'm
patient with YOU. We shall do all in
| our power to aid you; but of course
Mr.. Porter has said all that to you"
| His smile was. by movement of the
| lips, and his eyes did not seem to par

| to possible business relations with
Saxton, but turned the conversation
! into general channels. They sat to-
gether for an hour, Raridan, as was
his way in any company, doing most
Of the talking.

Saxton was not over-sensitive, but
the stiffness and hardness of the
Clarkson clubhouse were not without
their d1sagreeable impression on him
as he sat at dinner toward the close of
his first day in town. He had lighted
a cigar over his coffee, and was watch
ing the fading colors Of a brilliant sun
set when a young man appeared at the
door, and after a brief inspection Of
Saxton's bank walked over to him.
aren't you Mr.. Saxton? thought
you must be he. My name Is Raridan.
Don't let me break in on your medi-
tations," he added, taking the chair
which the waiter drew out for him.
''I met Mr.. Porter a while ago, and he
adjured me on penalties that won't

broke off in a laugh,-"that depends
on the point of view" He had pro-
duced a cigarette case from his pocket
and rolled q white cylinder between
his palms before lighting 1t. AS the
flame leaped from the match, Saxton
noted the young mans thin face, his
Hhick curling dark hair, his slight
anustache, the slenderness of his
fingers. The eyes that lay back Of
pi1nless glasses were almost too fine
for a man; but their gentleness and
kindness were charming.

SaXtOn sat in a deep wicker chair,
hopping his forehead. He had spent
a busy day, and it was with real sat-
isfaction that he found himself in a
cool house where the atmosphere of
comfort and good taste brought ease
to all his senses. He had not expect
ed to find so pleasant a house; verify,
the marks of Philistinism We're not
upon it. 1t seemed to him unlikely
that Porter maintained solitary state
here, and he wondered who could be
the other members of the household.
The maid had disappeared into the
silent depths of the house without
waiting for his name, and did not ne
turn. His eyes moved again in le2s-
urely fashion to the wall before him,
and the mirror, which reflected noth-{
ing of his immediate surroundings
but disclosed the shelves and books OF
a room on the opposite side OF the
hall.
He was amusing himself in specu-
lations as to what manner of library
q man like Porter would have, and
whether he read anything but the
newspapers, when the shadow OF

WHEN AND HOW TO
''CLINCH" in BOXING
Clnching the Act Selling Opponent in Such Way
Prevent Him from Using His Arms'-Unfair to Grip
Arms or Strike with One Hand While Holding with Other.
you remember the old catch

" question: What would nap
pen if an irresistible force
should collide with an i'm
movable body?"
Someone has answered, There
would be nothing. left to happen,
But. in boxing, the answer is' "A
clinch.'
The clinch comes in handy" in
many different boxing crises. If two
men get into a nlixup and are at such
close quarters that one or both cam
not get out Of reach to avoid punish
ment they run into a clinch.
If man Is hard pressed, cornered
or dazed he saves himself by clinch-
ing. If boxer overreaches or fails
to land his blow and is carried on by
his own impetus he clinches.
These are but few of the count
less times that a clinch is useful.
Practice and intuition will in time
teach you when to employ 1t.
There are several sorts Of cl1nches.
Nearly every professional boxer has
his own peculiar c1inch which he ia
vors above all others. Clinching, too,
gives many an opportunity for foul
ing. and keeps referees, busy trying
to detect such tactics.
The best definition Of a clinch, per-
haps, Is, 1.-The act Of Selling an OPP
ponent in such way as to prevent
him from using his arms"
The first of the list is the simple
arm clinch. Let us suppose your OPP
ponent is attacking. He is close to
you and has you "smothered" Tin
such position that you cannot effec-
lively lead or parry) You are too
near a wall to jump back out of reach
