MRS. MILLINGTON AND
HER LIBRARIAN.
A LOVE AND BUS ESS STORY.
When John Milling on thea, one of
Mrs. John Millington's secret consola-
tions was the thought hat she should
be able now to carry •n their business
a,ccoraing to her own ideas, and to
make some of the ch ges for which
her ainbitious heart sad been vainly
pining many a. year— any a year in- _
deed, for, as she recol °G&W distinctly,
now that she came to ook back, it was
in the very first year o her apprentice-
ship at sewing wigs th t she had said
timidly to Mr. Milnagton one day,
“Don't you think, air, hat it would be
a sight handier waitin on the custom-
ers if the short red counter was took
down? It's no kind o use, except to
tuek away rubbish un er, which is al-
ways a bad thing to aye too handy,
'and—"
"My good little girl,' said John Mil-
lington, in his loftiest one, "I run this
business. Attend to y ur work."
• On which pretty lit le Nellie Sim-
mons tossed her . hea misehievously,
and thought to herself„."Very well, Mr.
Millington; ,perhaps y U. won't alwaye
_inn this business, and hen we'll see if
that old red counter is bound to be iu
the way of everybody going in .or put
of the shop."
John Millington wa a widower!—at
least so he called him elf; but be was,
in fact, worse off tha that. He had
married, _ehortly after he death of his
first wife, a dashing widow,about whom
he knew little or nothi g, but very soon .
learned so much that he parted from
her in hot haste, and procured a di-
vorce without difficult, . This had left
him sore and bitter, a d very distrust-
ful, and for many year he scarcely so
much as looked at any woman, even if
he were dressing her h ir or measuring
her head for.a wig. But from the day
Nellie SirOTTIOTIS took , er seat in his
shop, and bent her graceful head over
the old smooth -worn wig block on which
she was making her first attempt at
sewing dead hair into a lace founda-
- tion, he found it hard o take his eyes
from her piqtiant, ro schievous, affec-
tionate little face. Hi was a reticent
and dictatorial man b nature, and his
unhappy matrimonial experience had
so increased both the; traits that he
was not a pleasant raa ter to serve, and
none of his work-pe.pie loved him.
The shop was a silen place, although
there were some half- ozen men end
girls busy there fro seven in the
morning till late at ight. Fashion-
able women, and men too, came at all
hours of the day to e made young
again—so far as false hair could go to-
ward doing it—and ery droll were
many of the revelatio B of tbe weak-
ne,sses of human natur whichthe poor
simpletons IL:incensed() sly made. It
was a convulsive and rrepressible gig-
gle from Nelly on one of these occasiOns,
which first broke down the barrier of
reserve between her and her employer.
When she was reprimanded for it,
and sharply,.too—for John Millington
i
was much too politic t allow .rich cus-
tomers 'to be offended. in his shop—
Nelly looked up at hi archly through
her tears, and said : "Indeed, I'd ha'
died, sir, if I hadn't a,' buat out in
that laugh. To look a the`old woraten
with the big bags und.e her eyes"—and
here Nally, taking eau age from agleam
in John Millington's face, suddenly
pulled down and pine ed out her own
pretty underlids` wit her fingers—
"with the big yellow ags under her
eyes, and her raouth ft 11 of false teeth,
a-askin' you to bang h r hair, sir !"

John Millington lau:hed in spite of
himself, and in such a case as his he

in the thought that when he died, his
"little woman" would he quite equal to
carrying on the busineis,a.nd keeping up
• the reputation of the Old stand. If he
had known, however, how firmly bent
she was upon all the innovations which
she had in vain suggested to him, he
would have gone to his grave much less
easy in his mind.
