Emm—— WILLIONS OF APPLES, Bamper Crop of the Favorite Fruit of Mother FEve, Cleveland Leader. The crop of apples, of salable quality, In the United States this yéar fa-reckoned At a little less than 50,000,000 barrels, 1t Apples somewhat inferior, but still useful tor making cider and for other like pur- poses, were taken into account the total would be well beyond 50,000,000 barrels. That means' something Ilike 30,000,000,000 apples. If the population of the country s now %,000,000 there have been about 375 apples grown for every man, woman and ©hild In the United States. That means an apple a day, every day in the year, for @very one, with a few left over, These are tremendous figures, and the most surprising fact about the apple crop is that all of it might be grown In a smaller space than Cuyahoga county, which means, Cleveland and the environs of the | oity, provided that all the trees were well matured and in good condition, and that all bore an excellent crop, the same year. That shows what can be done with mere little spots on the earth’s surface, in the way of producing food, If the conditions are favorable and the best methods are em- Pleyed. Apple trees have room enough when they are set out forty to the gcre. It is noth- ing remarkable to obtain five or six barrels to the tree when orchards are at their best. A barrel means 500 or 600 apples of average size. A little figuring will show that an acre can produce 100,000 or 120,000 @pples in a year. That means 70,000,00 or 7,000,000 apples to a square mile. . And there are over 41,00 square miles in Ohlo and 3,000,000 square miles In the United States, not Including any outlying posses- slone.

In the gether in the small compass of the narrow room. The light from smoky lamps fell upon their faces—faces set with dogged determination. They belonged tq the la- boring classes, these men of the vague un- rest. A man stood behind a small table. The eye of each man was upon him. “Down with the king!" he eried. “Down with the king!" There was a decp-volced murmur of applause. The man at the table paused in his har- angue and lifted up a single sheet of paper. “1 have signed the resolution,” he an- nounced: “let him who cares to follow sign also. Here It {s.” There was a sound at the door—a sound that he did not hear. “Hark!" cried one man, In a sudden fear. The next instant crash after crash re- sounded upon the panels of the door. “In the name of the king," calied those without. Inside there was a sudden scram- ble, and fifty men rushed helter-skelter for the windows and the roof. All escaped but one. That man, seemingly dazed by the sudden turn affairs had takes, stood at his post. In another instant the ‘oor had been battered down and a dozen gendarmes én- tered. Their leader sprang for the table and the man, “In the name of manded, paper. The man at the tab’= turned pale. For there was but one na..c for his crime— and that was treason. The name of this man ‘was Stransky—he was Stransky, the the king,” he com- snatching up the single sheet of traitor. This thing happened in the year 1500. In that year, in all climes and coun- tries, there was but one punishment meted out for treason, and that punishment was death, An hour later two men conversed to- gether in a richly furnished apartment, One man ivas seated and the other stood. The man who stood was Stransky. He was still pale. “Stransky,” sald the other earnestly “tell me whence it comes—this vague di satistaction and unrest among the people? Stransky stiffly bowed. “In the south- west,”" he answered, “where they are most oppressed.”” The other smiled. “The south- west,” he exclaimed. “I thought as much. And have you heard, In these popular up- risings, the name of Adrianoviteh?" Stransky stared as he heard the name, but he answered, “Names are naught to me, your majesty. 1 deal not with names, but men." “Stransky,” the other said, “you're a doomed man. But before they visit upon you the vengeance of the law, there's one thingwou ought to know. That is that you, who think you are the champion of the people, are nothing more nor less than the tool of Cadoudal, my cousin of the south- west province, who looks with envious eyes | upon the throne. And Adrianovitch is noth- ing but his right hand man.” exclaimed Stransk; * answered the king. @ handful of papers. ‘“Look over these,” he sald, “and be convinced. Legally these do not amount to a row of pins. Morally, nothing could be more convineing." Stransky read and bowed his head, ‘T have given my lite for naught”" he an- swered. “I have been a dupe—a foo! “Exactly,” sald the king dryly. T thought you'd like to know before you go." “Before I go," said Stransky, the traitor, turning paler yet. The king rose and motioned to the man. Stransky, obeying, went on before. Silently the\ Cescended the stairs. ‘There was a lackey there, but the king opened the door with his own hands. “Good night, Stransky,” he said, ‘next time you revolt find out the real cause th lles behind you." e shut the door Stransky's face. Outside Straneky gasped and the color rushed into his cheeks. “Merciful heaven," he whispered to him- soif, “I am a free man—set free by tho king." For him it was resurrection day—he had stepped out of a yawning grave. Within the king sighed. “Pshaw,” he sald to himself, “I might just as well have the law take its course. Just cs like as not he's one of Cudoudal's star per- formers. It was two years later. He pulled out n The whole coun- tryside was In revolt, but it needed but a ! spark to touch the whole thing off. The trouble, 80 the people claimed, was with the king and his administration. ‘Down_ with the king!" they “Down with the king!" The king kept his palace in a state of complete defense, and ventured not abroad. Cadoudal, of the southwest, was at the capital. He was there unknown to the king and unknown to the crow¢. One night he sat in a small room in an obscure lodg- ing house, talking in whispers to another man. This other was Adrianovitch. “All that the people need,” said Adrian- ovitch, “Is a star:. Once the king is out of the way it will be plain sailing. But the | péople won't touch him—they're too clvil ized for that.” Cadoudal nodded his ‘won't, howled. tead. we must,” he answered. “If they “We can 13 to do it in the easiest way, and the eas- Have you got the list of the houschold? Adrianovitch handed out the list. Ca- doudal looked it over. Half way down he placed his finger on a name. “Lieutenant David Stransky,” he ex- | claimed “the very man. He was with us once, and he'll come with us onee again Four hours later there were three men in the room. One of the three was Lieutenant | of the people's party.” AND THE KING king's chamber, that \which had borne the semblance of the king was oozing life blood at thirty distinct and différent wounds. That night when the crowd outside at fever heat, a window was thrust open and a head was thrust out ‘The king is dead!"” calied ou® this man. “Long live the king!" echoed back the crowd. Shortly after half a dogzen men stepped into the glare of torches, bearing a covered burden. Quickly they dug a pit, and as quickiy they swung the body into it and covered it up with earth. At the frontier the guard haited a man in the dress of a lieutenant, “He's one of the king's household,” said one of the guard as he noted the gold and purple on the sleeve, ““he must not pass, Passport, lieutenant,” he commanded. The other produced a small card. “Ah,” yald he of the guard, “I had for- got. Go, Lieutenant David Stransky, the servant of the king."” “The king,” sald the lieutenant, doubt- fully. “Exactly,” returned the other, ‘“‘the new king—Cadoudal of the southwest." Stransky returned to his rallway car- riage. He sighed with relief as the traln sped across the bofder. David Stransky disappeared from the face of the earth, Months passed. Cadoudal reigned. The people expectantly looked on. But provi- dence had never cut him out for a mon- arch. The people seon found it out. And besides, the people had expected great (hings of the new administration. They had taken it out in expectation—nothing else, Adrianovitch was prime minister. Ca- doudal filled his offices with men chosen from his favorites, The official coronation was not due until the end of a year—the year of mourning for the late king. For the late king had been assassinated, not by the people, not by Cadouddl, but by some unknown as- sassins. His death had merely been an incldent which had occurred at a very op- portune time. So officiaily the people mourned him, and Cadoudal, his successor, mourned him. In the meantime the people complained loudly. Cadoudal was greedy; ho wanted riches. And the way to riches for a king is by taxation. He knew the people pretty well, too. He was pretty sure that they lacked the spirit to rebel. In the northwest, among the honest folk, a man wandered on foot from house to house. He discovered all the little griev- ances. Ha found out how to remedy them. Who was this man? Was he a revolution- ist? Was he a traitor to the king? After a while this man and the people began to hold meetings—meetings’ which were peaceful but intense.

On the night before the coronation a man, in the gathering dusk, approached the | palace. He looked up to the side where the dead king's apartments had been. Cad- | oudal had left these rooms intact and had | installed himself upon the other side. Was ' this a man, this thing that glided through | the darkness? If he were, he had strange methods, for suddenly he passed apparently into the midst of a bolld stone wall. Inside a lonely sentinel was pacing a de- serted corridor. As the sentinel reached a dark cofner, something brushed against him and swept along the passage. The sen- try shivered. He knew not what it was, but he knew one thing, and that was that it 1s not a pleasant business, keeping watch outside the chamber of a king who! mo longer lives, An hour afterward he was relleved, but the patrol caught his arm. *‘What s that?” sald the patrol. Issuing from underneath the door of the apartment of the dead king was a thin streak of light. They stood motionless for an instant, and then with common impulse pushed onward toward the room. They had not been mis- taken. There was lght within the room. They listened, but they heard no sound. Suddenly one of them, bolder than the others, tried the door. It yielded to his touch, and the corridor immew...tely was lit up with a white glow. The men outside looked on and gasped with fear. For there, inside the late king's room, stood a silent figure solemnly arraying it- self in the coropation robes of the fate king. And the figure was not the figure of Ca- doudal, the new and Nvimg king. The men turned from the room and fled incontinently down the corridor. The next day, in the huge cathedral, Ca- Coudal, the new king, stood in the glare of artificlal lights, the cynosure of all eyes. The crown had been lifted Into the air and was about to degcend, when suddenly there swept up the aisle a figure clothed in flowing draperies like those of Cadoudal's, and by a gentle but not undignified push, this figure stood In Cadoudal's place and the crown descended on the figure’s head. “Cousin Cadoudal,” said this figure, “this is our erown and our coronation day. You had best stand aside.” Suddenly the crowd caught sight of the figure's face. ‘The king!" it cried, “the king—a miracle ~the resurrected king—our king." Cadoudal shuddered. For in the volces of the crowd he heard the death knell of his hopes—his reign, he knew, had ended. One man, however—a mamJ{rom the north- west—struggled through the crowd and 8tood before the two kings. *Hold," he crled, “that man is not a king—he is David Stransky—David Stransky David Stransky. “Stransky,” sald Adrianovitch, “the king s doomed. if he stays Inside for another twelve hours the crowd will be like wild Ueasts.

Stransky shook his head. *If you don sald Cadoudal, “we'll storm the palace from the outside, The king and all will €0. As it is, it will be only the king." Stransky looked at the two men. He was thinking. He knew quite as well as they that the conditions were most serious ~that the king could not escape. Cadoudal understood. “Oh, as to that he said, “we'll compensate you handsomel. Money now, and & safe transport.” Again Stransky nodded. “A transport— whence?" he asked. i ‘Wherever you will,” answered Cadoudal, | pulling out a card. “Money ** Insisted Stransky.

They were planuing away the life of & king. the king. “Your majesty,” he sald, “will do as I suggest. I have considered it all There ia no danger. i Later one of the two strode from the | room and passed down the narrow cor- | ridor. As he reached u corner the door of a secret passage opened and a head was thrust out. The man kept on. “Stransky,” called the owger of the head. The other turned. { “All 18 well? | AT s well.”!
