Should tnfc farmers use their own apples for the making of sweet cldrer for themselves, they are not liable for the tax, so long as they keep the elder In their cellars. But the moment they sell the cider, the tax is assessable, just as it is when they sell the apples for producing 1 cider.

But when It be.' comes hard; it ts also, by the provls* ions of the law, eliminated from th tax, simply because It is hard. Shoul the farmer try to sell It, the tax le imposed.

Mlas Moody had been an Invalid since 'she was sixteen taonths old, be- ing able to walk ortly' with difficulty, the result of brain fever.

Miss Moody had never been In the cellar. \It-was apparent that Bhe had started to go teP. the bathroom, opening the wrong door by mistake, and before she realized the difference moved forward and topped head first down the stairs.
