The news that Winfield was to have
hospital excited the town deeply.
1t was fifty miles to Framlington,
where the nearest hospital was, and
many persons had had their sufferings
prolonged by the long train journey.
When it was learned that the unknown
donor had provided for hospital on
the most modern plan, enthusiasm was
aroused.
Some thought the glver was John B.
dillingham;, on the hill; but although
he had done much for the town, he ad-
mitted with regret that this was be-
yond his means.
II guess it's Old Man Colley," said
one Of the town wits; and everybody
laughed.
Old Man Colley was the dirtiest and
most misery old fellow in Winfield;
and the pity was that he ought to have
been rich enough to have lived decent
~. He owned two hundred acres of
the best corn land in the state. But
he occupied wretched howell, that

ing memory. Colley was the disgrace
Of the neighborhood.

self in singular way soon after the
foundations Of the new hospital were
in position. He stopped to look and
suddenly burst out:
snow the poor and rich will have
a fair chance. No more dying from
typhoid germs and filthy milk cans!"
The workmen shooed him away.
Some threw clods of earth ut him.
Old Man Colley apparently ashamed
Of his outburst, limped homeward.
Then people began to recall the fact
that in his young days the old man
had been pretty much like everybody

else. He had married sweet girl
from the neighborhood, and they had
had a child-a boy. The mother and
son died within n day of each other, OF
typhoid. After that, Old Man Collcys
mind seemed to give way. He became
morose, withdrew into his shell, and
spoke to nobody. He grew avariclous
and dirty. He withdrew his subscrip-
tlon to the church. Old Man Colley
became the town leper. And all that
had begun forty years before.
Week by week the new building
went up, until at length the hospital
stood complete. And the donor re-
manned unknown. Even the Board of
Guardians was unaware of him. It was
strictly run on the most modern lines,
the physicians were the first in the
state, and soon it acquired rcputa-
ton in the country. The opening was
marked with Il town gathering. There
was band, and all the best people
in Winfield attended. The mayor made
speech In honor of their "munificcnt
benefactor,' rs he phrased it; and
John Il. Allin.llam followed.
''And if our unknown bcncfactor is
citizen of this town." he said, Eve

enjoy our hospitality in health"
What he meant nobody knew, but
Allingham was running for state sem
ator that fail and used to grow clo-
Quent at times, preparing for his flu
ture triumphs in the legislative halls
by prncticing upon Winfield.
And in the midst of it all the dirty
figure of Old Man Collcy was seen to
limp across The grass. He pushed his

that way, his appearing at such mo-

"Put him QUIT" cried score of
voices. Hands were laid upon Old
Man Collcy. who, bewildered by this
hostile reception, was uncercmoniously
made free of the hospital gates and
speeded with a parting kick.

aation disclosed the fact that he was
suffering from an internal disease
which had been running its course for
years unchecked, and must prove fatal
within few weeks. :,
None Of the nurses liked having Old
Man Colley in the ward. They felt in
vague way that his presence there
was stigma upon the institution.
They were kind to him in a fashion,
but he was certainly not the pet of the
ward. =
Nurse Alice took pity on the old fell
low when it was seen that the end was
surely approaching. She said that Old
Man Colley bore the dreadful pain he
toicully. Nobody had known that he
vas in such pain. AS he grew weaker
10 unbosomed himself to her. At times
lis mind would wander, and then he
would reveal in the oldest manner SEN
timents whose existence nobody would
have suspected in the old scarecrow.
1t was toward three one morning
when Nurse Alice was aroused out Of
a sound sleep by the night nurse.
Il don't know that ought to have
called YOU" she said alphabetically,
but Old Man Colley's passing out to-
night and he's calling for you. Says
he has message that has to be deliv-
cred to YOU"
Darn it," said Nurse Alice, and
then repented her impatient exclama-
ton. But nurse is human, and to be
awakened when one has just got to
sleep is trying, even for a nurse.
She put on her slippers and kimono
and hurried into the ward. Old Man
Colley was evidently passing out fast.
He lay on the pillow, turning his face
from side to side, searching with pa
thetic eyes for the woman who came
up to him.
II wanted you, Nurse" he whis-
pered. Send that fellow away" he
added. pointing to the doctor. HE
can't do no more for me-"
Nurse Alice sat down by Old Man
Colley's side, and the doctor went
away scornfully.
1t was five o'clock when the screen
was drawn about Old Nan Colley's
bed. The old man had passed out
peacefully, after talking nearly two
hours to Nurse Alice. And she went
to the head physician. her face stream
ing with tears, and laid some papers
before him, as soon as he came into
the hospital next morning. She had
not slept that night since her awaken
ing.
"Old Man Colley's dead,' she said.
"And this is his hospital"
'What do you meant" demanded the
astounded physician.
"He gave it," said Nurse Alice. Its
all in these papers. His wife and son
died, you know, forty years ago, be,
cause there was no hospital here to
save their lives. And then he resolved
to save every cent for the rest of his
life until he was able to build this hos
pital."
you're romancing-I mean, he was
lelirious," said the head physician in
credulously.
Nurse Alice shook her head. TITS
all in the papers," she said.
ana 1t was fact. Old Man COlley
had left the residue of his fortune to
the hospital. How he had saved that
hundred thousand besides nobody ever
knew. But his statue, erected by pub
lie subscription, mainly contributed by
the Hon. John b. Allingham, stands in
front Of the gates, and-they just love
tramps in the hospital wards today.
They are still hoping for another angel
in disguise like Old Man Colley.

WELL-kNOWN NEW YORK MASON
GIVES $4,000 TO NOTRE DAME
UNIVERSITY


A thirty-third degree Mason, DR.. Ed

given $4,000 to the University of Notre
Dame, and presented two handsome
cars, II Cadillac and Chevrolet, to it's
brilliant president, Rev. DR.. John
Cavanaueh. G. S. G.
DR. Woods acquaintance with Notre
Dame dates back only two years. At
that time he visited the famous Cath
Ole school as a member of the Michi-

headed by Governor Ferris and which
studied at that time some of the pre-
ciOus manuscripts found among the
Notrc Dame archives which bear upon
pioneer Michigan history.
DR.. Wood is himself the possessor
of the best collection bearing upon the
history of the Northwest Territory, of
which subject he is an enthusiastic
student. He has offered to the stu
dents Of Notrc Dame University an
annual prize for the best essay writ
ten upon this subject.
