It r.-a about 11 o'clock th next d.iy when Ifclni's auction purchases, the chair and tho larp? brass Jar. wore delivered. Th re va. an express charge of a dollar, which she thought exorbitant, and which aided that much more to tho cost of the articles. Hardly had the door closed after the. expressman, before Hekn was down on her knees examining the chair. Was it really an antique? Was It worth what the had paid? Then she tried to s-o if it was comfortable. Hut was it strong? Had that arm been repaired? .She examined it more closely. It looked as though it h-id been broken and mended there. She would have to put it in the bedroom where it would not tfet much use. Therw was a numhVr of soars and fcratches on the carved les. Fhe must rub these up before 'Warren .saw them. Then fhe turned to the bra?s Jar. It wa-s really a very quaint old piece with its curious Iron feet and bulging fddes. But Helen could not Fee that it was uac-Ws. ishe had bid on it, thinkin? it could r uscil as a clothes hamper, and had found only when It had "been, knocked down to her. that what had Fcemed to be a lid was not one. nnd thict the. only opening was a small holo on top. 1 Manning It. Vse. If only Fhe had had the courage to Fpeak up at the time to have told th auctioneer of her mistake andwsk him to resell it. .vhp had lain awake last merit, thinking of what she could do with it. what she could use it for. Should the top be cut off and made Into a lid? P.ut that would probably cost more than the Jar was worth. "Would it da for an umbrella holder? She ran to the closet for a couple of umbrellas Yes, the opening on top was larxr enoupli for that. Hut when oift nnt it in the narrow hall to seo

how it would look, fche found that the Jar itself was much too hiz. It hardly left spaco enough to pass. Then she tried it In the library by tr?e pas Iocs. Of course a fireat many people did havo uhl brass and copper pieces .ittlnK around and thouRht them very decorative, but this one was so bi and clumsy. And. besides. Helen had always been opposed to anything that v.aa not useful. She hated a room filled with a lot of trip-traps that served no purpose except to bo in the way nnd catch dust. Warren, too, was strong on this. He always said. "For heaven's sake, let's not clutter up tho place with a lot of useless trumpery." , She felt that she would not have the courage to tell him about the Jar, at least not for a wnile. he micht Rive It to some one for Christmas; it would look like an expensive present. Mrs. Stevens would love It. for she hxd a lot of antique brass. Finally Helen hid the Jar back of her closet, and again In the turned her attention to the chair. "Maggie, whero did you put that furniture polish?" "Isn't It Ure on that top pantry shelf, ma'am?" Helen got the polish and a soft flannel cloth and went to work. The back of the chair was vei.ered, and the grain of the wood came out beautifully as she. rubbed It up. Pussy Purrmew, who always thought that when Helen got down on the floor, it was to play with her, came purring around. Bnitiing Inquisitively at th furniture polish. Helen had put on a large bib apron in which fche always worked, and now as she got up to stand back and view the chair. Pussy Purrmew made a leap after one of the. apron strings and overturned a bottle of polish. Hofore Helen could catch It up there was a little pool of brown liquid on the Persian rug. The kitten scampered away with nrched tail, while Helen ran out to the kitchen. . "Oh. Maggie. Pussy Purrmew s overturned the furniture polish! Get some warm water und soap quick." They washed it in several waters, but there was still a faint brown stain. "That won't show much when it's dry. jua'am," said Maggie consolingly. But Helen knv that it would show and it only added to the string of misfortunes which seemed to have followed her auction purchases. "Phew! Smells strong enough in here!" was Warren's first comment when he came home that evening. "Yes, it's furniture polish. Pussy Purrmew overturned the bottle." "Hello, Pussums! Did you do that as the kitten, aroused by his entrance. Jumped down from the window, yawned and stretched sleepily. Instantly Helen knew that Warren was in n.n unusually good humor. He would never notice the kitten, much less call her Pussums , li no were net particularly genial. "Oh, I say. is this the new chair?" Glad for him to see it first when he ras in so favorable a mood she drew it out and turned on another light. "Why, that's a mlthty good looking Chair. Lines are good, and that's a jrood piece of mahogany, too. What'd you sav you paid for it?" "Twelve dollars." "Cheap, nil right. Couldn't get that chair in the shops for less than twenty-five, could you?" Helen knew that the chair could be hought almost anywhere for fifteen, perhaps les., "but she could not bring herself to say But if he thought this was worth much more than she had paid, she might venture to tell him about the Jar. "Yea. that chair's all rUht," declared Warren. "And it's an obi one. too. That's no reproduction. Can't make cm like that now." V Helen wa. almot sure that it was a renrouuetion. Hut it was ?o rarfly thai Wan-en annrovt-d of anything sb bought that .she had no scruples In a$tenting eagerly. "Oh. ves, dear, I'm almost sure that it's old." "Well, T know it's old. That's a genuine -hair and it's mighty cheap for twelve dollars. What else did you get?" "Nothing else." hesitatingly, except a a bras jar." "a t's see it. Trot it o'.it." It w;ls so heavy that Helen culJ hardly carry it from the i lov t. "Joe, that's a whopper. What tinder the sun are vou going t do with that?" The Chair Break. "Why. dear. I g t it :".r a l-tk hampt-r." stammered Helen. "Then I found thU doesn't come ,.:T." pointing to the ridge around tlie toi which looked fo like a lid. "And now I don't i know what to u it for." "What did v.ju pav for it?" "Six dollars." she faltered. "Oh. well, that's not s.i much." Jut here he at down the new chair and drew ut a ig ir. There was a sudden cra king of d. "By George, what's that ."' As Warren jumpd up one of frrjna fell clatter::), w the floor. the He

pirked it up and glanced from the chair to Helen. .""he did not dream that his amiability would stand this strain, and with quivering lips she waited for the storm which she thought would follow. Put to her astonishment. Warren threw tark his head and laughed. "Well, that's a good one on us! Ix)ok at that!" holding up the broken arm which showed unquestionably that the wood was" new. "Reproduction after all. and a cheap one at that. Iwvk at that wood! Well, never mind. Kitten, they fool a lot better Judges than we are with their faked up antiques. But I guess auctions are ;.-ood places for you to stay away from. Kverybody gets soaked at them sooner or later. You ought to be glad they let you off so cheap. f What was it altogether eighteen? Oh, you got off Helen had already drawn him over to the big chair and now crept into his Ian. nestling there with a sigh of

content. It was o wonderful not to be roared at.. For Warren to condone her mistakes, and try to comfort her what did it mean? She had not long to wait before she knew the cause; for when at dinner she asked her usual: "Did you have a busy day, dear?" He answered vigorously: "Should Kay I did. And I cleared up over five hundred dollars, all right. Remember that lot out in Rutherford I had to take on that debt last year? 1 Fold It today for a clean five hundred profit. Not a bad deal, was it?" "Oh, dear, that was very good," murmured Helen. v She was very glad, of coursp. Yet, if only she might feel that his sympathy .and kindliness had been to relieve her worry' about her unfortunate purchases instead of merely part of a general geniality that he would have felt for anyone when he had made a successful deal.Th HFAItllTTTA CKO' is MAN. With the biggest play $ ic has ever had in her career as a s ar, Henrietta Crossman will be the att.f ction at the Oliver Monday, May 18. "he name of the play is "The Ton f es of Men" and while it is a cornet' it might be called a play with a purpose. Once In every 20 years such a play is found and this time it fell to the lot of Miss Crossman to find it and produce it. While the title of the play was taken from the HiRle the play is not at all Biblical. It deals with two sides of life, the temperamental and bigoted. Miss Crossman plays the part of a famous grand opera prima donna whose performance of a certain opera under discussion has brought down upon her head the denunciation of a certain preacher, whose ideas of life are extremely narrow because he does not know life.
