I {4 O you know, Dora,” Mrs. Ar- cher said, . pointing ex- citedly to a small yellow handbill she held in her hand, “that there's to be an auction over on Miller avénue at 1 o'clock this afternoon? A family by the name of Carter are selling every- thing they have. They are going away, I guess, I called Mary France and she said the Carters had only been house- | keeping a few years and their things sught to be as good as new. She said she would be ready to go when we came by. I want you to go with me— you can, can't you? “Why, I don't know,” said Mrs. Pris- by doubtfully. “I haven't much money I can take. I bought so much at that auction last week that I've been short of housekeeping money all this week. I've had to scrimp awfully and Jack asked me this morning if he was to expect corned-beef hash and rice pud- ding again today. I don't know why he said that, seeing I've only served it— let me see,” and she thoughtfully count- ed a moment and then said with a startled look at her friend. “Why, I believe I've served it five times lately. Oh, dear, I don't see how 1 dare go, Fanny.” “Oh, pshaw!” protested Mrs. Archer. “It won't kill Jack Frisby to eat hash, and rice pudding is wholesome enqugh for any one. And the chance of going to such an auctiin as this one over on Miller avenue iz an opportunity of a lifetime. There isn't much I want, but still it won't do any harm to go and see what they've got. It won't cost anything just to.look.” “No-o—I suppose not,” Frisby, visibly weakening. go, but I mustn't stay long.” it was settled. The two women sarted out after hurriedly cooked dinners. They did not even take time to wash their dishes. simply piled them in the dishpan and threw dish towels over them. On their way over they stopped for Mrs. French. “I know what I'd catch,” said Mrs. French, “if Fred Frénch knew I was going to another auction. The last time I went I bought a lot of kitchen uten- sils, and when Fred went after them, he had a perfect fit over my purchases. He found holes in every single piece I had bought. But then I tried to tell him a little solder would make 'em as good as new. And land knows I got the whole mess for almost nothing.” “Well,” said Mrs. Frisby, “did you get it mended?” “Um—um, not yet,” answered Mrs. French. To tell the truth, I haven't had time. They are piled up out there in my woodshed, but as I tell Fred they'll come in handy. Any day some of my things may give out. and then I'll have those things to fall back on.” Arriving at the auction the three friends were quite disgusted to find that the auclioneer had already begun to sell and there was no chance to look the things over that were going to be ) sold. The three women were sb{ at first and stood a little apart from the group of ple who were bidding, but gradu- ually their curiosity overcame their de- termination not to bid and they moved up and finally joined the rest of the crowd. Finally the auctioneer had his assistant bring out several baskets piled high with nondescript things and a bit of fun entered into the bidding. said Mrs. Maybe I'll And so The baskets and contents—good. bad | and indifferent—were to be sold to the highest bidder. The women craned their necks in a frantic effort to catch a glimpse of the contents of the sev- eral baskets,- but the auctioneer kept them discreetly behind him. The one that was to be bid on he placed on a table by his side. It was so far above the heads of the bidders that nothing could actually be seen. It was posi- tively thrilling. “Here's your chance” sang out the auctioneer, who was a young fellow with piercing black eyes, with a gliny of fun in them. “Here’s your chance to get your money’s worth! Every one of these baskets contains more than a dozen articles that are just what you will ,be erying for in less than a week if you don’t seize this grand op- rtunity I am offering. I'll start this ket at one dollar—make it one- fifty—one-fifty, make it two—" and he laughed and looked directly into Fanny Archer’s face. ‘“Here’s a chance that will make you the envy of your neigh- bors—two dollars—mafie it two-fifty—" Fanny Archer got confused and bid two-sixty, thereby starting the bid for the basket. Mrs. Frisby had been peer- ing and thought she had a glimpse of something that looked like brass and 3s the auctioneer caught her eye just then, she said, “Two-seventy.” And ! { this unl " THE 'EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. D. C. WEDNESDAY, NG STORY then the fun began. It wasn't a mo- ment before there were six or seven women all bidding frantically ag;i.nst each other. The basket was iy struck off to Mrs. Jack Prisby for $5.30. Dora was too much excited even to take a peek of the contents of her basket, so anxious was she to get her treasure home. ‘She hired little George Freer to carry it home in his roller- coaster wagon and without even a look in the direction of her two friends she hurried away in the wake of Georgie, fearmg that he might not be careful in handling the precious basket. On the way home, however, her ex- citement began to evaporate. The $6 she had left from her housekeeping money was nearly gone, and the wash- ing would be home this very night. She was out of everything to eat, too. She had intended stopping at the store on her way home to make some necessary purchase, but now there was only 70 cents in her pocketbook—there would be only 60 when she paid Georgie for bringing the basket home. As she was slowing going up her front walk, following Georgié, who should come around the corner of the house but Jack, her husband. When he saw George Freer and the basket and his wife, he sensed at once what had hap- pened. “Been to that auction over on Miller avenue, Dora?” he asked. “Yes, I have,” said Dora with blaz- ing cheeks. nervousne: “Well,” said Jack, “let's see what you've got,” and he began to sort out the contents of the basket. First he took out three or four dilapidated vases which, never having cost more than a quarter, were absolutely worthless now from nicks and cracks. Here was an old wash bowl with pitcher, two or three hand lamps, and a few other articles which were quite worthless, and last of all he removed a big-brass door plate with a name engraved upon it. “Bless me," said Jack, with a twinkle in his good-natured eyes. “What are you going to do with this, Dora? I don’t see how you are going to use s I die and you marry a man who bears the name engraved on this plate . What say?” This was too much for poor Dara, and she burst into tears. Her husband let her cry a moment, then in sight of all the neighbors he put his arm about her and led her into the house. ‘I was afraid you'd get roped in by I didn’t get here in time. I saw Carter downtown, and he said his wife had al- ways had a perféct passion for picking up old junk, and they were making this auction to get rid of it. They She was ready to ery with | the auction, so T came home, but I see | " all the vears of searching. are going away, I guess, but Carter said his wife was worn out sorting and caring for all the truck she had in the house. She couldn’t bear to throw it away after she had bought it. and the house finally had got so full that there wasn't room for the family Now, what do you think of that Dora?” Jack ask-d. “I think,” Dora said soberly, at I'm done with auctions forever—and Jack, dear, I also think I've got the best husband in the world.” “Epough said,” said Jack heartily, “and now shall I tell George to take that basket of junk away?” Dora could only nod gratefully. - THE END.
