America’s best known Hot' Water Bag-the safest and most economical to buy. Your home needs one. C .E. StOUt, “The Rexall Store” (© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Professor Hunter had been teach ing Latin for forty years in Dalton college, when suddenly the trustees realized he was too old. The professor bent nearer to the paper in his hand and strained Ills old slow-sighted eyes to read it. He lin gered over the paper. Much word of it he weighed dilatorily, us if hoping thereby to lessen the shock of the message. “ltesignatlon — a younger man — more up to date Ideas"—and above all the words, “too old.” As he looked again at the letter he saw what he had not noticed before. ‘‘By provision of the Wolcott memo rial fund” he was entitled to an an nual pension of one-half his salary. He arose and opened a window. The line rain cooled his brow some what as it slanted against the build ing. He was about to close the win dow when he caught sight of two of his students returning from gym. The words of one of them came clearly to him, and he started as he heard his name mentioned. “Yes, old Hunter's going. 1 saw the notice on the office desk. He's a queer old chap—ought to have been kicked out years ago. He’s so blamed absent minded. I failed on him three times today and he never knew It—” The ringing of the college bell shut out the remainder. Slowly the old professor closed the window. Three black marks—John son couldn’t know, of course, how tired he was of marking black crosses. So that was what the college thought of him— The pension was the way the col lege took to ease Its conscience u bit. He had always thought of It, abstract ly, as a good thing, but now he could not take it. Anything, even starva tion, would be .easier. And so, gath ering up his tattered books, old Hun ter passed out of the classroom and down the worn stairs for the last time. • ••**** It was at the annual uluinni ban quet. The man who was considered tlie “best fellow” of the alumni was standing to speak. “Last Tuesday," lie began, “I was a few miles out from Westfield, when my machine broke down. 1 wus walk ing back to the garage when u thun derstorm commenced, and I made for the nearest house. It was a large, white house, far back from the street, open piazzas and no trees. The grass was burned brown by the direct rays of tlie sun, and the piazzas were laid bare to it. I was given shelter at tlie county poor farm. “In that group I found u man I knew, a man you all knew; a man who gave the best part of his life in teaching ,and helping all of you—Pro fessor Hunter.” Lament paused and glanced nt the faces before him. down the long table and back, then very slowly sat down. There was silence for i few mo ments, then a man across tlie table arose. “There was no need of that, you know. There is a pension—and lie refused to take it. So we all supposed lie hud plenty.” . “There is an answer to that. The snlarles tlie college pays are not high enough, perhaps, l'or one man to live on, and save u little—” Lament turned from Johnson and slowly faced the nun in front of him. “I’ve learned some tilings since Tuesday that I had never thought about before. How many of you did Hunter help when you were in u tight place, with kind thought ^nd labor, as well as with money?” For a moment there was not a sound, then u man arose. He was Joined by his right-hand neighbor— until out of the numbers there almost a hundred were standing. Damont nodded. “He helped me out twice, when I came near to being expelled. I don't know how many of you repaid him, becuuse I know his steady plea, ‘If you want to pay me hack, help along some other fellow' in the same fix.’ He didn’t think how little that would help his bank account. “I have tried to find out how it was the college asked him to leave, and I believe it was the work of some of the students who did not like Hunter, and it was the work of one of these students that took the fight from old Hunter and put him where he is. Careless words spoken under his win dow, calling a grand old man old, a ‘queer chap, absent-minded.' Gentle men, can't the college do something?” The president of the hoard arose. “Does anyone make a suggestion?” “Mr. President, I move that we re quest tiie college to ask Hunter back. If he will not come back to teach, ask him to come us the new president of the Student’s Aid. I am sure no one else could fill the position so well as he.’’ The professor was spending his last night inside the walls of the home. When tomorrow came he would again go back to join the world. As he paced back and forth lie planned of ways to help the other old men out-— the men of the Wistful eyes. He snuffed the flickering candle nnd made ready for bed. Tomorrow he was to go back again—and, iremu lously, he whispered to himself. “Pm not too old—because they want i.u buck again.” n«r.~ COSTUMING BIG PICTURE IS A MONUMENTAL TASK Norma Talmadge’s Twenty Dresses All Copied From Authentic Plates from Old France. The monumental task of costuming a picture production of the Second Re storation Period was recently com pleted in United Studios in Hollywood, where Norma Talmadge, under Frank Lloyd’s direction, made her lavish production of “The Eternal Flame,’’ the First National attraction which is coming to the Royal Theatre Sunday and Monday. No less famous creative artists than Walter Israel and his wife had carte blanche in the matter of costuming. The Second Restoration Period, when the nobility was again returning to its own, marked as noticeable an unrest in the costumes as in the lives of the aristocrats. Consequently, an extensive research staff was required to find plates and authentic details for the elaborate costumes. Miss Talmadge has no fewer than twenty costumes that are copies from plates and carried out to the* most ex act detail. Even the accessories to adornment, fans, bags, scarfs and jewels have been reproduced in exact facsimile. • PLEASANT VALLEY. Percie Grass was in O’Neill on busi ness last Friday.
