yesterday

a

fell
from

broke
open,
apples
rolling
In

There
were
thirty'
or
forty
newsboys
around
and
the
scurrying
to
jrather
up
the
apples
was
as
Immediate
as
It
was
effective.
It
was
about
the
fastest
piece
of

cleaning

that
one
could

Imagined.
Apples
were
stowed
in
pockets
and
stuffed,
in

and,
of
course;
many
boys
developed
sudden
corporations
as
the
fruit-was
stuffed
down
pant

and
inside
sweaters.
Possibly
there
were
some
Internal

too.
