riages rolled UP and away, there was a
constant buzz of eager voices but Mann
selle in her culinary retreat paid no heed.
There were not many callers but there
were more than George had anticipated.
There might have been forty in all and
each was buyer with a fad. Where
the fads happened to clash. there was a
lively competition, much to Georges de-
hght. And another thing that pleased
him especially was the fact that each
caller took him by the hand and thanked
MIN for comforting the favor of a view
of the ancient treasures.
When all was over and the last article
had been sold to the last caIler, George
sat down at a table and did a little sum
paper about him, and there were many
bank bills and few pieces Of gold. And
when they were properly jotted down
George posed his pencil in air and a look
Of amazed delight crossed his face.
Then he slipped back in the hall and
knocked at the inner door.
Yes called Mamselle, come in"
George opened the door and crossed the
threshold. Mamselle was just entering
from her shining little kitchen.
Well MamselTe," he said, the rum
mage sale is over"
Yes" said Mamselle.
And every piece Of rubbish will be gone
tomorrow
That is good" said MamseHe. IT'S
little supper for you. and while You eat
you will tell me all about it,"
oh but ] can't wait" cried George.

a puzzled look.

added. "MamseTe, when you so away TO

the harder because it was a labor Of love.
He took half hour here and there and
every half hour was made to count for
the best there was in it. One of Nam
selle'S precious books gave him material
for a highly interesting article for the
Sunday edition, and he used clippings
Of this to advertise the collection. He
prepared short typewriter letter, an
nouncfng private rummage sale Of
rare furniture and books and autographs.
He sent copies Of this circular, over his
own name, to the leading collectors Of
the city. He sent a longer letter. In
which he entered more into details, to
the Book club, asking that 1t be posted
on the club bulletin. All these people
knew him, or knew Of him, and he felt
sure they would understand that he
would not lend his name to any unworthy
project.
The contents Of the storeroom were
carefully arranged in the parlor, which
luckily happened to be the largest room
in the house, with the books and auto
graphs displayed on tables. It was a
little crowded, but George did not expect
many callers. When all was ready he
invited in an expert collector a leading
authority in the Book club, and asked
him to go over the collection and fix
what might be considered fair price
for each article
MamseHe persisted in regarding the pro-
posed transaction as a whimsical and
entirely unsubstantial affair. To her the
old furniture and the dingy books and
the yellow letters were but Valueless rub
she would say. But he enjoy it, too"
And so on the afternoon Of the sale
MamselIe, with a farewell look to see
that no feck Of dust escaped her sharp
little eyes, withdrew to the inner part
Of the house, leaving George in sole pos
session, and was seen no more until all
was over

'Ah. but I have no friends to notify
