fitting figures, crossing the space visible through the doorway, were like a succession of pirouetting pup pets. Out of the night came the clearly chorded cricket drumming.
 It was impossible not to be touched by the subtle combination of light and sound, and Rossiter let go of the tense hold he had kept upon him self. The girl beside him seemed like a rare exotic in whose presence he was permitted, by an inscrutable chance, to finger for brief space. Why should he not, he asked him. self, enjoy the exquisite sense of beauty that her personality exhaled? Into what surge and plunge of life he might soon be carried it was idle to conjecture. At least he would bear with him one fragrant recollec- tion, one drop of a precious altar to sweeten what might be a. desert fu- tnre.

l. AYES FOUND GUILTY.
After Days Deliberation Jury Con-

MINNEAPOLIS, May 8. Albert AlonZo Ames, former mayor of Mime apolis, has been found guilty of accept ing a bribe of $6oO while chief execu- tive of this city.
 After being out twenty-four hours. held up by a disa agreement that was caused by few jurors holding out against the majority, the jury came in. to Judge Elliott's court and returned their verdict of guilty. The keen inter- est in the case was shown by the si- lence in the crowded court room as the verdict was read by the clerk. The usual motions were read for a stay and an arrest of judgment, and now will come the fight on appeal. The case has broken every expectation as to the shortness of time taken to try it. Be- fore the trial few would venture an opinion that it would take less than two weeks to select the jury. And yet inside of two weeks the case has been finished vf
 Through all the trial Dr. Ames has borne up we'll, and to every appearance he has not seemed better at any time thAn he was during the summing up of the case by counsel.
 The defendant was on hand early with his wife and his attorneys. He chatted affably with the reporters and attorneys, however, and expressed con fidence in the outcome. Mrs. Ames appeared decidedly weary, and lines of anxiety were evident.
 The jury asked certain questions which formed the basis for quite an extended discussion in the judges chambers as to the proper way to an swer them without doing injustice to the defendant.

NO DANGER IN APPLES.
Accustomed to Them They Can
he Fed Safely.

Instructions have been given how and
when to feed apples; the quantity, from
four quarts to half a bushel, cut and I'M
cut, in m instance the wormy ones
thrown out (perhaps for cider?). From
all these opinions one might infer that
apples are a somewhat dangerous food to
handle, and after all it might be the
wiser course to let them decay in the or
chard rather than run the risk of dried
up or choked COW. After associating
stock and apples together for 20 years I
almost wonder how it is that l ever had
any of the desired tactical fluid OF in fact
a living animal left. My practice has
been something like this: After secur-
ing all l wish of the culled fruit and
feeding the stock for a week a few
quarts twice a day, l turn them all in the
orchard to help themselves. Some years
they will have several thousand bushels
to start with. My experience is that a
COW will seldom or never choke in the
orchard. The danger lies in their first
greedy introduction to the fruit; in the
orchard they will pick up and eat one at
a time and are in no particular hurry
since the supply is unlimited. These
apples will furnish them forage unit!
they freeze up, then the fruit put in
store will come in play. If the orchard
is handy to the barnyard colts and
horses not kept for use can run out and
pick up apples to their advantage. I
know of no kind of stock that will hurt
themselves on apples after they have
become accustomed to eating them

BASE NEGLECT OF DUTY.
Some of the Things That Are Ex-
pected of Men Who Aspire to
Political Leadership.

10 become a political "leader," and to re-
tain the post successfully, requires eternal
vigilance. One politician, quoted by the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, says that in the
tenement districts the leader becomes a
sort of unofficial mayor, guardian and ia
Their of his people. He can never ignore a
request. 10 do so is to offend not only
the individual who makes it, but all mis-
relations.
One asked a district leader to take
her baby into his family while the mother
went out Of town for a weeks visit. Again,
he was called up at two O'Clock in the morn
ing by a couple of men who had got into a
dispute, and wanted him to arbitrate. He
was expected to see that the poor had coal;
to bail out those who were arrested; to Sc
cure work for those who were out of employ
ment; to have police fines RENTED: to at
tend marriages, picnics and funerals.
One family of voters renowned him perma-
nently because he did not call when seven
year-old Thomas broke a leg.
But l didn't know he had broken his
leg!" the leader demonstrated.
Sure, and you should have known it,"
"But l didn't even know you had a son
named Thomas"
THAT settles it," and the father took
up his hat. Tim Sullivan would have
known it. Niver a meal have you ate in me
house"
