The reading room was a* quiet as
tomb. Now and then some students |
turned a page-impaUjaatly and the f
per gavq forth a sharp rustle aa
thbugtr aggrieved at such irreverent
treatment, but rial tor* and attendants
alike moved about -with silent tread,
rubber cap% rendered chair legs noise
less when they, were moved, and the
rery card- catalogue drawers moved
on silent ways.
Linda loved this orffelT After* the
clatter and c hitter of a bosy office,
which she had been oooHxyfted to es
cape because of servos threatened
grow unrtily. the bookish sfleoce of |
the reading room was -more th
grateful. She was sorry when the
closing hour came. and. after a brief
Interval spent in checking up the slips
and seeing that the books were re
placed in their proper stacks, she had_
to go out Into the turmoil of the busy
street. . .
The quiet place wae never lonesome. I
Linda had many friends among those
spent their days pouring over the ref
erence books. There was the little
old woman from the - costume rs who
spent days over old books. In search
of correct pictures of the -dresses of
by-gone days; there araaTtbe little old
German who was reading everything
he could find upon chemistry, and
there was t^c tall, quiet man who dis
played a singular catholicity of taste.
Qne day tt would be books on astrono
my that he' wanted, and again he
would be Interested ic geography or
chemistry.
Of them all this man Daltfngton was ]
-the moot regular In his stta adat
and se?med the most like tn' 'Old
friend. It was he Who had quietly
aided Linda with suggestions which
she had first come to Ifle fWUl. ?
had been a "regular1* and had known
more of the routine than she did. But
it was pften that Linda was able to
help him with a suggestion as to
new book, for her heart nas |a her
work and she was something more
than an automaton. Oeallcg out tM
books called for with ? mechanical in
difference.
Balllngton, Richard BaUiagton ? she I
knew the name from his stipe ? seemed |
almost a part 'of the reading room it
self. so* regular was he hi attendance
and hts good morning Pintle was a
pleasant opening of the day's routine.
Last Christmas he had brought a
little gift the day before the Holiday
and sometimes, when luck was par- |
tlcularly good, a bo* of candy would
come back with a book.
The summer oefore thetr vaca
tions had overlapped and for an
entire month she had not seen
him. She was glad wben the vaca
tion was over and sbe oouM come
back to her place at the desk with the
beloved books around her and ^wlth
Balllngton sitting in the chair tn a
far corner where he was least likely to
be disturbed.
rnr OMe IJnda was |tad as tbe
hands of the dock crept around to
closing time and sbe knew that in aa
hour more. she would be free -to hur
ry home and creep Into bed. Just b<*
foi'e the hands reached the closing
hour -Balllngton roee from' hie place
and brought a book to tbe desk. Then,
instead of leaving, he went over -to
the catalogue aad beg? to scan the
cards in one of the drawers. Tor a
few months Linda watobyd him. then
be looked up with the familiar glance
of appeal and sbe came over to the
catalogue drawee.
"Struck for a. title V sbe asked in
s voice so low that It seemed scarce
ly to be a whisper. "What's the let
ter?"
exact"
"Logging?" she asked. "That's yn
der lumber."
"Not logging." he denied. "It's a
} shorter word. TrO-v-e.* "
j ? "f^dpn't think ? tK*i'r ni**lArtnf."
she said in dismay. "It's a funny sub
ject. Suppose we look for ?Ro
mance'?" ?
| "Let's look for romance, hut not*ia
books." he pleaded. "1 know that thfs
Is a silly BOrt of proposal, but I love
you, little girl. I've- been sure of it
eTer since last summer, vgien 1 missed
you for a whole month. Th<?se jwo
weeks when you were away I simply
could not do any .reading." I've beeh"
trying ever since to tell you, but I
didwt wmm-itfxw.* I Aren't -mnrt to bang
| around outside of the library until you
come out, and I do want you to help
me * look for fomance, Linda, even
though U is not In the titles?"
"I think II In In I' .. ".^Untllf " nf"
said, softly, "but If you'd rather. I'll
j holp you after hours.*4
"There may be a romance In the
catalogue." said Balllngton, "but not
as good a rtftnance as there Is this
moment Just outside the drawers. You
do care a little bit, Linda."
"Since last vacation." she admitted.
"You mayvcome this evening If you
like? to begin the study."
Balllflgton mad_e a note of ber ad
dress fipd left the place with; elastic
step and beating heart, while Linda,
went back to reclve the books the
readers p*ere returning. Aa she gave a'
final look around as the last book was
stacked and the day's work done, she
patted the catalogue cabiaat as she
passed it j
"You're awfully wise." sbe whisper
ed. "with your thousands of titles, but
you haven't a 'Love.' and I'm sorry
for you." Then Linda out to
enter a new world. ? -
