An odd lot came into the vareroorn one
dsy oonsiQnod TO % by Clutchsn d
Keen. a skYswd firm Of new beginners,
and e Il fell 10 my duty 70 assOrt and
Label the goods, IL thus, also. fell 70 my
fate TO have q part IN the following
se0sy: .
Inc consignment consisted mainly OF
Glass and vilyerwsre, pictures and bron-
r., q Clotchum d Keep we're rather
AYst class In their business. and did not
yet eoodsscsnd 70 family Bibles; but In
the lot came across q few pieces OF
furniture which attracted my attention
from the fact Of our having an order
from Q Western house 70 pick up all the
ANTIQUES and odd ties a6oat for bric-a-
hgae arm.
here we're about Q dozen specimens OF
.elav leRs. stick backs, and otherwise
unoomfortable household articles, In the
shsps Of chairs, dressing glasses and
osbinsts, and ] at ouoe labelled them
sold, that they might not get into next
days aale, bot - forwarded at once TO
COR Western house.
One article alone noticed with attep-
ton enough 70 remember afterwafd,
and then only because / stuck my hand
roughly against il, and the pain made
me stare hard at the cause Of IL. IL
was an old cedsr cabinet, brass bound
and clamped, but rusty and forlorn-
looking enough In Its changed fortunes.
labelled, ~ ! thought, for our next
days sale, a. there were two others to
70 west, and the home market was then
going - crazy for verything old, but
parents and friends, - either the West
Or North.
But subsequent events discovered my
mistake. Our Saturday sale was big
oue-the rival house acroas on the cor
ner hadn't n chance against us that day
and by noon every article put 10 was
bid Of lively and quick.
The crowd had begun 10 thin, and

frssh handkerchief for il was warm
Vork. I can tell Won. 70 cry such sales
from ten 70 one o,clock-when lady
came back in tho store where I was
standipq and approached me eagerly:
