You could stick pins in my legs and I didn’t feel it. The circulation was com- pletely cut off. It’s a cinch now. The wide, loose waist-line vould let me get away with murder. But I don’t weigh as much as I did then. Only 165 now.” ; When a man tipping the beam at 214 pounds can get his waist down to 22 inches, anything is possible. A bigger problem than reducing his waist-line is ahead of Eltinge—real name, William Julian Dalton, by the way. The problem ahead is old age. Eltinge has been mpersonat- ing merry widows for quite a while. Double chins nd stiff joints cannot be dodged forever. He knows it, is frank about it. : His has been a prosperous career. He could quit, never do another tap of work, and live off the fat of the land. But he wants to keep on working. 4 Female impersonation will be out of the question. He's a he-man, by the way, with an uppercut that would qualify him a pugilist’s sparring partner. | 5 Here’s his decision: “I want to keep going. I like to travel. I figure I can keep up concert work till I.am 60 or 70 years old. Some of my opera friends tell me I have a voice. So I’m going to take a chance. Eltinge is educating his voice now. A few more years of female impersonation, then off go his stage skirts forever. And when they are put away in mothballs, Eltinge will have his voice ready for his new line ‘of work. , Instead of waiting for Father Time and the public to tie a can to him, he’s going to retire himself, “beat ’cm to it.” In preparing for the inevitable, he displays foresight that is very scarce among actors—or the rest of us, for that matter. i : There are many sorts of occupation for which a man is unfitted soofer or later by his age. A woman, likewise. How many are preparing themselves to take up a new line of endeavor when the referee counts them out? How many are even saving systematically so they will be independent financially when young newcomers crowd them out of their chronic jobs? - How about yourself? At what age will you be “through in the work you are following? And what are you prepar- ing to take its place? We get old—oh, so fast. The years slip by before we realize. LAZY? “’m the laziest man in the world, for I have never done a stroke of work at any time during my long lifetime — 76 years.” ' - This exceptional claim is made by “The Hermit of Ridge- field, Conn.” He comes from a long line of blue-blooded New Englanders. ae The hermit has never been more than 20 miles from his home, built by his grandfather in 1708. Never has seen a@ street car or movie. He devotes his time to reading Latin and Greek and the newspapers—which, he considers, take the place of travel. Goes barefooted. ‘* “Maybe this hermit isn’t accomplishing much in a ma- gterial way, but he is improving himself. That’s his purpose on earth, and the only success that matters. As proof of his wisdom, he says he has quit drinking “because good liquor hasn’t been made in a decade.” FUN Wall Street makes Broadway, says Professor Fitch, who teaches Biblical literature and religion at Amherst College. He’s speaking broadly, means that we rush from hectic money-making to excited spending. “Men in the midst of our machine-like civilization must go from one extreme to the other or go mad.” 3, Hence, nervousness, especially restlessness and jrritation. DEATH The Springfield army rifle will be replaced by the Garand ‘semi-automatic, experts predict, following tests. The Garand turns “every doughboy into a machine-gunner. ~ It is a shoulder rifle and fires 60 shots a minute. Weighs about the ‘Same as the Springfield. The Garand would change battle tactics radically, for it would triple our army’s volume of fire. You turn to another page and read news about world gourts and other attempts toward world peace. Opposed to which are things like the Garand rifle. While the forces of ‘peace combat for control, the’ forces of war are active in the opposite direction. ILLNESS How many days’ work, how much money, do you lose yearly as a result of sickness? The National Health Council says sickness costs our country 900 million dollars a year in lost wages and that the total loss from preventable diseases and deaths is 3000 million dollars a year. This isa conserva- tive estimate, too low, for it figures the average earning pow- ier, at only $3 a day and does not take into account the money paid for doctors, nurses, etc. i OB The medical profession, instead of trying to make us live 150.years, might intensify more at making us healthy while we'Jive our short span.

If at any time I entertained. one shadow of regret in the execution of ‘those who had traduced me and so earned their destrugtion, it was after we had dwelt for a season with Albert Redmayne beside Como. But Jenny swiftly laughed me out of these emotions. “Keep your tenderness timent for me,” she said. not share them.” We might have killed Albert a thousand times and left no sign— a fact that brings me to that part of my recital I most deplore. Nevertheless, though things diffi- cult and dangerous we had trium- phantly achieved, before this task for a child we failed; and the rea- son for our collapse was not in Jenny but in m. Had I listened to my austere partner I should have waited only until she had searched for and found her uncle’s will. This she did; and as the instrument prov- ed entirely satisfactory, my duty was then to proceed about our busi- ness. Only an artist's fond pride in- tervened; nothing but my vanity, my consciousness of power to excel, upset the rightful climax. We were, indeed, both artists, but how incom- parably the greater she! Had won her way with me, we should living now to enjoy the fruits of our accomplishment. But though she did not win her way, yet, in defeat, her final, glori- ous deed was to intercept the death Doria, and they go be- and en- “Ll will investi-] Brendon gator, is engaged by Jenny Pendean| legatee. roams at} fuadagnato.” large and sends for his brother Ben-| game we may see the winner.” But secret hiding} not always, intended for me, that I might still live.

He knows that, even if we were equal, the woman was greater than either of us. Farewell, Giuseppe Doria. Ten days after Peter Ganns had read this narrative’ and its sequel at his snug home outside Boston, there awaited him, upon his break¥ fast table, a little parcel from En land. Something amazing challen ed his astonished eyes. There came 4 long letter from Mark Brendon al- so, which repeated information al- ready familiar to Peter through the newspapers; but added other facts for him alone. New Scotland Yard, October 20, 1921. My Dear Peter Ganns: You will have heard of Pendean's confession and message to you; but you may not have read full details as they concern you personally. I enclose his gift; and it is safe to bet that neither you nor any man will hence- forth possess anything more remark- able. He made a will in prison and the law decides that I inherit his Personal estate; but you will not be surprised to learn that I have hafd- ed it over to the police orphanages of my country and yours in proportions. The facts are these. As the day approached for his execution, extra- ordinary precautions were taken, but Pendean behaved with utmost restraint. gave no trouble and made no threat. Having completed his written statement, he asked to be Permitted to copy it on a typewrit- er, but leave to do so was not grunt- ed. He kept the communication on his person and he was promised. that no attempt to read it should be made until after his execution. In- deed, he received this undertaking before he put pen to paper. He pre- served a quiet and orderly manner, ate well, took cxercise with his guards and smoked many cigarets. I may mention that the body of Robert Redmayne was found where equal | he buried it; but the tides have 4g, flected the beach gravels of Bend; f0's grave and search there has re- vealed nothing. Upon his last night but one, Pen- dean returned as usual and appar- ently slept for some hours with the bedclothes up to his face. A ward- cr sat on each side of him and a light was burning. Suddenly he gave a sigh and held out his hand to the man on his right. “See that that goes to Peter Ganns, it is my legacy,” he said. “And re- member that Mark Brendon is my heir.” He then put a small object into the warder’s hand. At the same time he apparently suffered a tre- mendous physical convulsion, utter- ed ohe groan and leaped up intg a en knife and fork, though his habit of] iting position.
