THE HU
MRS. MILLINGTON AND
HER LIBRARIAN,
A LOVE AND BUSINESS STORY.
"Oho! Mr. George, that's the secret
of yOur kindness, is it ?" thought Nelly;
but she wate, good-natured, and, more-
over, pplitic, so she replied: "Lor, yes;
rd,like nothing better. Mr. M.12,, al-
ways said I could fix the women's wigs
better in front than he could. I could
some over every afternoon for a couple
of hour 's well 's not, and I'd. like it
first-rate."
."That's all right -that's all right;
that '11 be a great help to me," re-
plied her brother-in-law, and gave her a
check for seven hundred dollars on the
epot.
"You needn't give me any note either,
Nelly," he said. "I know your word'e
as good as your note any day, and you
can pay me as you like, a little at a
time. You'll soon clear that much.
That 'Pettengill's' was a first-rate
stand, and it's just the businese you'll
like."
Nelly thought so too; but she was
destined to find herself as much mis-
taken in this as she had been 'in think-
ing she should eujdy herself in the
country. Books had never been fami-
liar friends to her. ' She found to tier
mortification that . she was bewildefed
even by the titles„, and sometimes did
not understand in the least what a cus-
tomer was asking. for. Pettengill had
been a publisher iu the early part of his
life, and his library contained many
books seldom found in circulating
libraries, and some which were very
rare. He had a, pride about keeping
the library intact, and there were
shelves upon shelves filled with abstruse
and uncommon books, some now al-
most out of print. Nelly's first impulse
had been to make a clean sweep' of
these, and replace them by new books
in smart bindings; but, luckily for her,
she had expressed this intention one
day in the presence of one of the old
patrons of the library, a lawyer, who,
having had far more brains than clients
all his life; had settled now into a pov-
erty-stricken old bookworm who haunt-
ed libraries and bookatalls.
"God bless my seul, madam !" he
shouted in a tbne that made Nelly
jump. "Don't you k ow that those old
musty books, as you call them, are the
only things worth an thing in all this
library ? All the rest is trash. Don't
you sell one book off those shelves."
Poor Nelly was as meek as she was
ignorant in her new sphere, and replied
very humbly: •
"Oh, I didn't know, sir; they looked
so old, I thought they couldn't be good
for anything."
"Humph !" growledI the disgusted old
man. "You miud what I tell you, then;
they're worth all the rest of your place
put together. • You old, on to 'em.
They'll be worth a pi e of money to
your grandchildren."
After he had gone, oily took down
one after another of the musty volumes,
and glanced at them. Many of them
were in old English, .hich might as
well have been Sanskrit to Nally, and
not in one of them could she find a sen-
tence which conveyed any meaning to
her mind.
• "My grandchildren, indeed !". said
Nelly, contemptuously. "If ever I
have any, which seem a no ways likely,
I hope they'll talk another kind o' lan-
guage from this. 1 think the .old man
is cracked." 1
But when she told the incident to
her brother-in-law, and he , replied to
her, "Well, you'd better have old Wil-
kins's opinion about books than any-
body's in all this cit ; they say he's
been sent to from cone es to know where
they could get boo they wanted ;
what he don't know out booka isn't
worth knowing," Nell drew a long sigh,
and perceived that there Was Much more
in this matter of books than she had
ever dreamed. i • i
More and more she realized this, and
began to be ashamed as well ae perplex-
ed. She had been used in her forroer
business to being looked up to as an
authority; here she I was humiliated
every day. Mere chits of girls came in
and expressed surprise, that she had not
yet put in the library such and such a
book, which had been "out" for a
month, and of which poor Nelly had
not so much as heard. How should
she? She could not give a standing
order to publishers for so many pounds
per month of books ,i as she used to to
herb dealers for all the herbs which
t
were needed to make o many gallons of
the Millington Hair R starer. "
Welly was shrewd enotigh to see that
she must have help iii this business, or
make a failure of it. One day she went
into a large free library and reading.
room in the oity, and at herself down
to watch what was done there. She
watched quietly the whole afternoon.
At dusk she left the room, with
a resolute look and a ;half -smile on her
,
face. -
The next day George Millington,
walking by "Pettengill'e, was astonish-
ed to see workmen tearing down part of
the wall:
"What on earth are you doing, Nelly ?"
he exclaimed.
"Reading room," said Nally, curtly -
"reading room and coffee."
Her brother grasped her idea instant-
ly. "By Jove, Nelly," he said, "that's
a good idea. How're you going to pay
kir it ?" ...,
"Mortgage," Said Nelly: -
"No, you shan't," said George. "Go
shares with me, and let me pay."
"All right," nodded Nelly.
And this was all that passed between
them, but George Millington went home
8,nd told his wife that they'd always
been. mightily mistaken about that girl
John married: She Was “real bug -
t;
nese," which was the highest compli-
ment George Milling on could pay-eny
anybody, man or woman.
• ia
The ext d.ay there ppeered in three
of the leading paperof the city the
followine advertisem nt, which would
_have been worded di erontly if Nally
had got somebody else to write it for
her; but if it had been worded differ-
ently, it would not h Ve caught Jerry
Williams's eye, and th re might never
have been anything especial to tell
about Mrs. Millington' librarian. The
advertisement ran as follows ;
WANTED -A book buyer in a circu-
lating library. Must be a woman, and
write a good hand, and know all about
books. Apply through post office box
No. 1004.
This did not seem to Nelly an extra-
ordinary advertisement. It stated pre,
eisely what she wanted. To "know all
about books". did not mean much to
her. On the whole, she flattered her,
self that the advertisement wasa sin-
gularlS, concise and sensible one. When'
Jerry Williams re d it, she laughed out-
right and alimd, hough Elbe as all
alone, and s id • her elf, "Goodness!

"Millington is the na e," aeswered
the clerk; "t at's all I k ow about it."
An older cl rk steppedi forward and
said, kindly, It is the widow of Mill-

"Oh, Pette gill's !," exclaimed Jerry,
