of the quirinal struck midnight Con-

"such a thing would be quite strange

"That is another reason why It

How a Bibliomaniac's Housekeeper
Secured Husband.
An amusing story of how con-
hrmed old bachelor, who combined
with his bachelorhood the qualities of
the bibliomanias. came finally to
marry, is told by an English newspa-
per The lonely old bookworm en-
ployed an old servant to take care of
his rooms. Upon her fell the task of
arranging and dustlng the library, and
she soon came to be smitten with a
taste for reading. She began to spend
all her earnings in buying books, and,
strange 10 say, they were old books
that she bought and read. One after
noon she came in with a parcel Of vol
umes picked up from the bookstalls.
Out of curiosity the master turned
over the leaves. of her treasures and
we can well imagine the more or less
supercilious smile that played upon his
countenance as he thought of the hu-
morous phase of this old woman turned
bibliophile Suddenly his face lighted
up.
How much did you give for this?"
said he, picking up volume with great
eagerness.
"Fifteen pence" was the answer.
Fifteen pence? Why, this is worth
thousand pounds" cried the collector.
He reflected. when too late, how stupid
he had been to speak and in vain
tried to recall his words. II will give
you fifty shillings for it," said he.
"Sir, you nave just told me 1t was

The old creature was not to be
cheated, and the bookworm at last
offered f100. It was a first edition, eX-
tremely rare, of Montaigne He was a
good buyer, but his servant would not
take fraction less than f1,OOO which
sum was more than he could afford.
That night the connoisseur dreamt
longer. At any price he must have
the old book. "This woman takes
good care of me; she appears to be
smitten with the same passion for old
books" said he to himself next. why
should I not marry her? I would then
have my Montaigne."
So he went to her the following day
and popped the question" She ac-
cepted him, and they were married
The clever old Game brought him the
book as a dowry.
