Patsy Sells for $40.

The first horse put on sale was Patsy,
a gentle little black. active. but too
old to pass the army inspection. Some
one started the bidding at $40, and
there were no other bidders. When
Patsy was knocked down" at that fig
ure the Signal Corps men almost cried.
Corp. Lawych. veterinary of the COM
pany. took II harder than any one else,
for he had become greatly attached to
the little animal Lawych Is q great
horse lover.
The next horse brought a better
price-s20. Then the bidding became
more spirited. and big black brought
$50. Capt. Terry appeared to be heart
broken when he saw the horse he had
been riding sold for $40. The prices
averaged about $27.
This afternoon the Signal Corps men
are lamenting the fact that their POSI-
ton had prevented them from taking
a hand in the bidding and buying some
of the horses Several of the men had
sufficient funds on hand to have bought
one OF the animals, but they realized
that they would have no place to care
for any animals they might purchase.
