pursued the hobby of collecting with zeal and
a knowledge which resulted in handsome profits.
One member paid few pounds for Chinese

a few shillings for Gainsborough drawing

Eighteen years ago Mr.. r. :. Ellis than whom
there was no more competent judge considered
that the Huth library had cost it's owner some

very much more" Probably its value In the
market to-day would be at least 125.O00 sterl-

Daniel sale at SOtheby's. In 1S6f. and the
Yemeniz sale In Paris three years later were op-

AUTUMN IN TO WN.

Downward like rainfall in the waning sunlight
Rustic the leaves and gather in the hollows.
Touching the paSSeTS with a sudden poignant
Pang of remembrance
Down like a rain on pavement and on roadway.
Blown like a dust by rapid wheel and tramcar;
Driven for the children OF the street to chase
them
Hither and thither.
Toss'd to the lights elusive phantom kisses.
Tangled in grass or meshed among the bushes.
StreWn on the forms of weary footSore sleepers.
Willing to ShrOud them.
Here in the park that lures US from the traffic
All the calm depth of quiet woodland takes US
Leads us beside the leaf -beSprinkled water,
Telling stories
Fevered, aggressive man asserts his kingdom;
Here, in the thCkest whirl of his commotion
Nature takes back to her serene possession
Things she had lent him;
Driving her leaves amid his haste and glitter
Spreading her skies of evening hush above him:
Speaking to WayWorn trampS and little children
Words OF old meaning.

cured him of bad case of that

"He was la-de-da boy with pink
cheeks and yellow pompadour.
He belonged to the Alfalfa Doodle
frat, and you know all those guys
think they're lady killers. His
stunt was strolling along the street
giving the girls treat.
"He wore those rah rah clothes
you see in magazine ads, and we
suspected him of wearing two or
three sweaters, because he looked
big and husky, although he was
built like a bean pole.
"He was ace-high at the dances
and the girls were all set on him.
Those he asked for dances were so
stuck up they wouldn't notice an
ordinary guy. And the buzz he
would give them 1t was crime.
He filled them full of hot air about
what an athlete he was, and how
easy it would be for him to make
the team if his doting parents
would consent.
"Of course, while he was strong
with lot of the girls, especially
those of the Cuty Cuty Gramma
society, the other girls were sore
because he wouldn't pay attention
to them. OF course, the boys were
sore on him, especially the Decay

the Alpha to Omahas didn't bother
about him because they were girl
chasers, too.
