An Auction Experienoe.

Not long ago there was a sale in
Washington of the effects Of the Histo-
rian Bancroft. One of the ladies in
Washington who il welded to Washing
ton ideals and associations wanted a
desk which had been the historian s for
the associations surrounding it. She is
wealthy and was determined to have
that desk if money could get it. Intrin-
sically it was worth very little, but that
was no reason why she would not bid
high on the desk. The day Of the sale
she was too i'll to go, and so she sent
her daughter, with instructions to bring
home the desk, and told her to bid as
high as 500 for it, The daughter went
early to the sale, secured q seat near the
coveted desk and waited until it was
put up for sale. Then she began to bid
for it along with several others. When
the price reached about S15, everybody
dropped out except the young lady and
some one over near the door Every
time the lady bid there was an advance
from the unknown bidder until the price
had mounted up to 500.
Knowing that her mother wanted the
desk. but fearing that some one was
bidding against her fox the sake Of get
ting more money-a sort Of straw bid
der, as it were-she advanced the bid
two or three times while she was en-
deavoring 10 move around to the door
to see who her unknown competitor
was. The price had reached $115, the
last bid being made by the unknown
just as the young lady reached the spot.
Much to her surprise she found her
mother to be her rival The elder lady
feared her daughter would not secure
the desk and came herself to purchase
it, and here these two had been bidding
against each other all the time 1T is
needless to add that tile family got the
desk. Washington Star.

tney We're very instructive as showing
the errors of his estimates.
When the trouble was over, and his
few acquaintance were pitying him for
the bad attack Of jungle fever that had
50 pulled him down, Moriarty swore
big oath To himself and went abroad
again with Mrs. Reiver till the end Of
the season, adoring her in a quiet and
deferential way as an angel from heav-
en-. Later on he took to riding-not
hacking, but honest riding-which was
good proof that liz was improving, and
ycu could slam doors behind him with
ont his jumping to his feet with q gasp
That, again, was hopeful
How he kept his cath, and what it
cost him in the beginning, nobody
knows. He certainly managed to com
pass the hardest thing that man who
has drunk heavily can do He took his
peg and vino at dinner, but he never
drank alone, and never let what he
drank have the least hold on him.
Once be told bosom friend the story
Of bis great trouble, and how the in
fuence Of a pure, honest woman and an
angel as we'll had saved him. When
the man-startled at anything good be-
ing laid to Mrs. Reiver's door-laughed,
it cost him Moriarty 5 friendship. Mori-
arty, who is married now to a woman
ten thousand times better than Mrs.
Reiver-a woman who believes that
there il no man on earth AZ good and
clever as her husband-will 90 down to
his grave vowing and protesting that
Mrs. Reiver saved him from ruin in
both worlds
That she knew anything Of Moriarty' 3
weakness nobody believed for moment
That she would have cut him dead,
thrown him over and acquainted all her
friends with her discovery, if she had
known Of it, nobody who knew her
doubted for an instant.
Moriariy thoaght her something she
never was, and in that belief saved him
self, which was just as good as though
she had been everything that he had i'm
agined.
But the question is, What claim VIII
Mrs. Reiver have to the credit Of Mori-
arty y salvation when her day Of reckon
ing comes ?-Rudyard Kipling.
