about on the ground. Two police
officers were there to keep down
violent bidding and to see that
two or three small city ordinan

'This is RO-proof whiskev,"
said the auctioneer, "and we have
20 gallons of it on hand. Who
will make a bid?" , ; .
Tongues began to loll and dry
mouths to water. , ,
"Come on down with your bids

The bidding was quick, sham
and 'vigorous. Eighty proof stuff
brought f 2 15 a gallon, that be
