on "The Professors Love story III
real life Yesterday in Linneus, MO-
when Prof Walter S. HENDERSON loi
the past ten years head of the chemls-
try department of Iowa College at TINS
place, was united in marriage to MISS
Elizabeth Bradley.
Much of the unusual has entered lnto
the romance of the professor and MS
bride: an acquaintance beginning III
the crash and excitement of western
runaway, when Professor Hendrixsoh
proved himself the hero of the hour oy
his deft skill in caring for the injured
quietly developed until the professor
surprised his friends by the proud an
nouncement of his engagement, anu
eliminated in the ringing of the Weu-
ding bells yesterday.
e. Fl. Willard had no more attractive
plot for his Professors Love Story
than is afforded by the romance OF an
Iowa man of much learning.
But one Of the characters in the Will
lard play, the scheming widow, who
sought in vain to marry the profess2t'
revealed great truth which has been
further proven by this little chapter IN
real life, when she said: mo man can
carry an unconscious woman In MS
arms without proposing to her"
Professor HENDERSON may not have
gone so far as that, but at least ne
cared for his sweetheart in distress.
1t was two or three summers ago
when the professor started to seek re-
| cuperation after a year of arduous work
in the class room and laboratory, IN
the mountains of Colorado The lit
tie god of love smiled as his victim
locked the door upon his choice assort-
ment of test tubes and retorts and
chemicals of noxious smells and sharp
ened his arrows for the service that
was ahead Of them.
The professor journeyed westward,
all unconscious OF the fate that was
to befall him; the little god went with
him.
The professor mounted stage for
a ride thru mountainous country.
There were others on board; among
them a young lady. Her name was
Miss Elizabeth Bradley. Now it is
god smiled broadly and perched him
self upon the drivers seat. AT the
right moment the horses gave sudden
plunge and darted down the steep de-
file at hreakneck speed. There was q
crash: the stagecoach disintegrated,
it's passengers were violently thrown
out. The little god picked himself out
of the ruins. saw Miss Elizabeth Brad
ley with a broken ankle, and the pro-
fessor armed with the kit of a doctor,
who was among the injured passengers,
Fastening to her side, spread his wings
with broad smile and hied him away
to find other work to do; for now
there was nothing more for him there.
The remainder of the story is soon
told. Miss Bradley rapidly recovered
from her injury, largely thru the skill
full attention which was given it on the
scene OF the accident; a correspond
ence began and developed into interest
until frequent over-Sunday visits be-
, came necessary, and now there Is a
wedding and the professors friends in
Grinnell are waiting eagerly to well
come him back with his addition to the
faculty circle.
Professor HENDERSON has far years
been prominent in educational affairs
of the state and is a man of recognized
ability along his own line of special re-
search.
The wedding ceremony was per-
formed by Dr. E. A. Steiner, professor
of applied Christianity at Iowa College,
and close friend of Professor Hem
