MRS. MILLING -TON AND
1=T -FIR LIBRARIAN.
A LOVE AND BUSINESS STORY.
"Then you have not engaged any
one ?" said Jerry, eagerly.
"Well, yes,I suppose I ought to say
I have," replied Nelly ; "but I'm think -
in' if I can't work her in some other
way. I've got to keeP her, poor down -
spirited thing. She wa'n't no ways fit
for the place; but she kind o' worked
on my feelin's, sc I jest had to tell her
she could conic), au' I'd. got all wore out,
too,' with the, lot I'd seen. My 1 such a
lot ! I was gettin' sick o' the sight o'
women, and 'most eddy to advertise
for a man ; but they do bully yon so. If
a man's good for an thing, he's sure to
bully, sooner or late ; they're all alike
about that ; an' I'v made up my mind
to run my own 1 redness. Yon jest
come in here now az' take your hat off,
'n we'll talk it all over. I'll tell you
what I'm a-fixin' to do.. I expect it'll
all come out right, for this woman that
I've got—I only engaged her late last
night—she'd been twice before, 'n I -bid
her she wouldn't do. I didn't tell her
the reason, but, yon see, the fact is,
she's one o' the kind that makes you
feel real sorrowful th minute you look.
at her—you know t ere are some folks
jest that way—an' I old her I didn't
think she was stropg enough ; except
•for that she'd do. She's a real lady,
you can see that to look at her ; but,
says she,. 'I've never had a sick day in
ray life ; I promise you I won't be sick.'
So, don't you see, what could I say
then? So- I told her she could come,
an' ehe'll be - here to -morrow. Poor
thing, she's had som awfal trouble, I'm
jest sure of it ; hu I think it'll be
queer if you 'n me t ether can't get it
all straightened out. I think she'll do
lots- better to sell th stationery—don't
you? 'Twoulde't m -ke- so ranch differ-
ence about that, if a arson was melan-
choly, would it ? Now come right
along and we'll talk t all over. I ex-
pect you're a master and for plannin',
with them eyebrow . Mr. M. alwaye
said, 'Look at the eyebrows, little wo-
man, look at the eye rows,' an' I always
do. Now, come ri ht along." And.
Nelly led the elf -amused, half -
alarmed, but alt geth.er interested
Jerry into her little b ck parlor, where,
amid the sound of f iling plaster and
blows of hammers, tl4ey sat down and
discussed all the arrangements for the
new L'Yettengill's."
They agreed admitably. Each was,
in truth, the neturd complement of
the other,
"My-! what a piece of luck it was,
my findin' you !" e;claimed Nellyetat
last. "Why didn't yon have sense
enough to sign your i4ame out Jerusha
in that letter ? Did 't you know no-
body but a man was ver called Jerry ?
My! but that was a &ose call, 's Mr.
M. used to say, but what I'cl ha' missed
you, 'n you'd ha' mi sed me, jest by
your bein' called Je y, which is no
kind of a name for a woman, not but
what I should kind o' hate Jerusha my-
self. I'll own to tha much."
A very quaint a d inviting ,'-little
place was "Pettengill' ," three months
later, when Nelly's 8,r engements were
all perfected. A stati•nery shop at the
front opened. into the ibrary and read-
ing room beyond ; to he right of them
was Nelly's little par or, and back of
that again a small klchen, where at
all hours of the day the best of coffee
sent out its delicious f agrance. A cup
of good coffee and a r 11 anybody could
have who came to rea his newspapers
in the reading room. It was a novel
feature, and it drew as only a novelty
and comfort combined could. Jerry as
librarian was instate ovth
er e library
cit
and reading room. T e "poor down -
spirited thing," who h d so appealed to
Nelly's sympathies at he outset, turned
out to be a more trn rtworthy person,
and mucb less melanc oly, than they
feared. She presided ery efficiently at
the counters where hey sold news-
papers, magazines, an all swell sta-
tionery wares ; and as Nelly remarked
to Jerry, confidentially, "If .folks come
to buy writin'-pa,per, 'hy, it's writin'-
paper they want, 8.n' t ere ain't much
persuadin' or choosin about it, an' it
don't make much odd- whether _a per-
son's lookin' glum or I ot ; they'll buy
%her writire-paper if yo-, 've got it to sell
to 'em. 'Tain't 's 'tis n the hair busi-
ness, where you wouldn't never sell
nothin' if you didn't kind o' draw the
customers on, 'n be real pleasant
spoken to 'em, an' divert 'em 's you
went along. Mr. M. he alway s taid I'd
sell three bottles o' Grecian Dye to- any
other girl's one ; 'n as for the switches,
well, he used to say to me sometimes,
'Little woman, you did pile the hair up
on that women's head, didn't you now ?
Hain't you got any conscience?' 'No,
poppy,' I used to say ; 'I had a first-rate
one, but I wore it all out a-usin' it too
hard."
-Business poured in a ''Pettengill's."
The very oddity of its s n made every-
body stop and look at it twice.

COFFEE AND ROLLS.
Nobody went in 01200 without return-
ing. There was a home -like air about
the place which was very restful to
strangerietarrying in the city for a few
days. The windows were filled with
flowers—Jerry had ins stecl on this ;
one fine plant in bloom 4tooa always in
the centre of each of the long tables in
the reading room ; ink and pens ready
for use ; paper and stamped. envelopes
to be bought at the counter ; and. it
was really surprising how big a mail
sometimes went out of letters bearing
in one corner the odd dat "At Petten-
gill's." These letters foilnd their way
to many quarters of the g obe, and one
of them, which was rea with great
consternation one su mer morn-
ing at the breakfast ta.b14 of a famous
old house in England, ha so direct a

bodies so much of it—th t it is worth
while to give it entire. 11 was written
by Wilfrid Beddoes to liis elder brother,
Sir Renwick Beddoes, of JSeddoes Hall,
