At my club, some of the men did not know that I had been away, but there were others who were very glad to hear that I had been in Europe, because it gave them an opportunity to tell me about that very exciting election of Brubaker, a man of whom I had never heard, who had been proposed by Shuster, with whom I was not acquainted, and seconded by Cushman, whom I did not know.
"Lizzie Brubaker." "Sold to Lizzie Brubaker." "There," whispered the preacher to Phœbe, "that's one." She smiled and nodded her head. "Here now," called the auctioneer, "here's a fine set of chairs. Bid on them; wink to me if you don't want to call out. My wife said she don't care how many ladies wink to me this afternoon at this sale, but after that she won't have it now then; go ahead!
I've been thinking it over, and I have about made up my mind to go. Brubaker will take my store and the good-will of the concern. Oscar is wild to go, and his mother is perfectly able to take care of the house while I am getting ready for her to come out. What d'ye say? Will you go too?" "Well," said Mr. Howell, slowly, "you nearly take my breath away! What's happened to stir you up so?"
There were electric lights with soft-colored shades and there was a colored waiter who seemed to move without effort. The forks and spoons for the different courses bothered me. I had to glance at Virginia to see which one to use. Once during the dinner I thought of the time Mollie Brubaker told Aunt Maria about a dinner she had in the home of a city relative.
"Suppose they don't live there any longer," remarked Marjorie. "All our trip for nothing!" "No, for we could probably get some information from Mrs. Brubaker," replied Miss Phillips. "But I don't think they'd move." "It isn't likely," assented Marjorie. It was two o'clock when they arrived at the Brubaker farm. The front door opened, and Mrs. Brubaker appeared.

"Did you bid on the cradle?" asked Phœbe. "Yes, but I didn't get it. I only wanted it because it was in the family so long. I'm a Brubaker. I said I wouldn't give more than fifty cents for it, for it would just stand up in the garret anyway, and be one more thing to move around at housecleaning time. Yet I'd liked to have it. I don't know who got it." "I did, but I don't want it.
Brubaker would not pay me a cent for my lecture and tried to garnishe the $100, the Journal was to pay me, and had it not been for a stroke of policy on the part of the Journal he would have taken every cent from me and left me to pay my expenses there and back. Jesus said: "Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing." In a month from this time the saloon keeper sent me $50.
Fine and good as the day it came out of a good workman's shop; no scratches on it the Brubaker people knew how to take care of furniture. Who bids? How much for it do you bid? Fifty cents fifty, all right make it sixty sixty cents I'm bid.
He was from Peoria and was hired by the Peoria Journal men to get me to edit that paper for one day. The arrangements were satisfactory to both parties. I went to Peoria. Mr. Brubaker met me, took me to a hotel run by a woman who owned one or two saloons, but had none in the hotel she kept.
