Two hours later he emerged, his face bandaged. At the hospital reporters wers gravely informed that the secretary had been operated upon for “hordeo- lum zeissianum.” The reporters wrote it down in their little books, trying to routine the letters proper- ly, but knowing naught of what was meant.

He lfled'\o tell them what it was but by that time he was well on his way to Mooseheart to deliver today's commencement address, and his words were lost. The reporters thereupon repaired to, a dictionary of medical terms where they found: “Hordeolum zeissianum—a sty.” To Get A. B.
