WENT BACK ON THE SHELVES
crowniNe Insult to His Beloved Books
was Mors Than the Professor
could Stand.

Perhaps the bitterest moment In the
life of q lover OF books Is when he
finds that his treasures are valued by
no one but himself. The late Prof.
Churton Collins once tried to weed
out his books. after he had become
convinced that either the surplus or
their owner would have to move out
OF the library.
The wedding was q painful process.
but at last the secondhand book-deal-
or was invited to name his price for
the upro0tsA weeds" They're no
good to me" was the dfsconcerting re-
ply.
What, none Of them?"
mo. not one"
Some one suggested that a. the
books had to 60. the dealer had bet
ter have them for nothing. 1t was a
bitter moment for Mr.. Collins. but
finally he assented. The man then re-
marked:
'That'll be half q dollar
What. do you mean? What for?"
exclaimed the victim In restrained
tone Of voice.
To take them away" said the man.
That was too much for Mr.. Collins.
The dealer was driven forth with OBJ
1urgations. after which. with sigh of
relief. the owner replaced the books
upon his shelves.-Youth's Companion.
