likewise had a heap of trouble with
lot of youngsters, who looked on the
orchard as something placed there for
their especial benefit.
Finally the spinster decided that she
could do more with kindness than with
a fence rail, SO she prepared a feast
of apples and other dainties and in
vited every small boy in the burg to
join the jubilee.
Now. tell me, boys" said the host
ess at the conclusion of the feast,
would the apples you have just eaten
tasted so good had you stolen them?"

Smith, with surprising frankness.
