DARED EVIL FOR MOVIES
Capitalized His Meek to "Make Good"

New York.-Louis G.. McPhee, Yale
athlete, who became daredevil for
the movies in order to make good"
for the girl he loved, has retired from
his perilous occupation and is now
manager Of moving picture concern
with headquarters in New York city.
incidentally he has won the approval
of the McCann family to a marriage he
contracted with Miss Dolores Grace
Mccain before he started on his
career as n high diver.
McPhees romance began three
years ago in Pleasantville, N. "
where he was spending the summer
months One day he saw approaching
a runaway team In the carriage he
saw frightened young woman. Nc
Phee leaped from his automobile,
stopped the team and from that time
he and Miss MoCann we're close
friends. Three months later they were
married. but Father McCann declared
the union would never be approved
until McPhee had "made good"
Neck His Principal Asset.
McPhee realized that he could not
make good" in a day and looked over
his stock in trade. He recalled that
while in Yale he won many prizes as a
high diver. SO he capitalized his neck
and offered himself as a daredevil for
the movies. McPhee's first feat was a
leap from High bridge, New York city,
into the icy waters Of the Harlem riv.
er. a distance Of 13S feet McPhee

juries he struggled to shore and re
ceiyed $500 for the trick, which re
quired minute and As seconds.
His parents-in-law lived in constant
dread lest McPhee's desperate method
OF making good would make their
daughter a widow. His next feat was
to leap from an aeroplane.
Lesped From Express and cllff.
McPhee's final achievement before
the camera ecllpsed all former efforts
In this film he climbed over telegraph
wires to the cross arm Of a pole. There
he hung suspended until a passenger
train passed under him. He dropped
to the roof Of a coach and then
leaped into the river as the train was
crossing a bridge. Detectives still
pursued and McPhee, cornered at the
top of 1OO.foot cliff, leaped into the
river a second time.
This film settled the career OF Nc.
Phee as high diver. He'll jump no
more, as his parents-ln-law feel that
any man who will take such risks Ia
make good" must love their daugh-
ter.

This time they took Home in New
York and went after Grand Opera as
if they knew what it was about.
The Son of an Earl consented to
Buttle for them. He refused them
Butter with their Meals and kept them
trembling most of the time, but they
determined TO do things Right, even
if both died of Nervous Prostration.
When they began making real Head
way and were recognized in the Park
by some Of the Headliners, Claudine
would chide Elan for his early Doubts
and Fears.
This has got the Middle West
skinned forty ways from the Jack" she
would exclalm gayly, as they motored
up the Avenue. me for the White
Lights It's a good thing you had a
Pacemaker or you would now be wear
ing Detachable Cuffs and putting
Sugar on your Lettuce"
Two years had elapsed since the es-
cape from being Buried Alive. They
were, to all outward appearances, City
broke.
One day Claudine allowed that she
was tired of Bridge and the gay Rou-
tine. She announced that she was
slipping away to Virginia Hot Springs
to cool out and rest.
Elan said that while she was lying
up, he would inspect certain Mining
Properties in Canada.
He drove Honey to the train; then
he tore back to the palatial Home
chucked few Props into a Suit Case,
and headed for the Grand Central
He never stopped going until he
ducked in the Back Way, through the
Grape Arbor, past the Woodshed, into
the Kitchen of the old Homestead
in which he first saw the Light Of
Day.
Gusta nearly keeled when she
lamped the long-lost Boss,

the faithful Gusta. There is double

go up and call on the Missus. She
has put on her old Blue Wrapper and

Next day, thousands of warm-heart-
ed New Workers were packed along
the Water Front all the Way from the
Battery to Grants Tomb, giving royal
Welcome to the Corn-fed Pilgrims. At
any rate. they were Packed.
When Elan and Claudine entered
the Hotel, the discerning Bell-Hops
had them stand back until the others
had registered.
They were Important, but they did
not carry any Signs.
Elan should have worn the Letter
of Credit on the outside.
After they had taken the Imperial
Suite and invited all the Servants on
the Twelfth Floor to Silver Shower,
they found that the Call-Bells worked
fine. If Elan moved in the general
direction of a Button, a handsome
West Pointer would fit in with a
pitcher of Iced Water and then hover
around for his Bit.
Both realized that the first requisite
was lot of new money.
Even when they raped sharply
with a Spoon and ordered Garcon to
hurry up the Little Birds with a
Flagon of St Regis Bubbles TO come
along as a Drench, they realized that
they did not look the Parts.
Elan still combed his Hair in the
style approved by the BARRIERS Guide
and Manual for 1887.
Claudine was fully clothed as far up
as her Neck and didn't have the
Nerve to hoist the Lorgnette.
Elan went out and had himself
draped by a swagger Tailor who was
said to do lot of Work for the Van
derbilt boys.
In his Afternoon Wear he resembled
the Manager of a Black-Goods Depart
ment.
After donning the complete Soup
and Fish, known in swozzey circles as
Thirteen and the Odd, he didn't look
as much like a Waiter as one might
have supposed. He looked more like
the Bus who takes away the Dishes.
Claudine yielded herself up to a
QhOuiSlt. no BOOu WOIudu ITOH Out
of Town was a trifle Long in the
Tooth at this stage of our Narrative,
but Nine. Bunk convinced her that
she was about half way between the
Trundle Bed and her First Party.
She ordered all the chic Novelties
recommended for Flappers, so that
Elan began to walk about ten feet
behind her, wondering vaguely IL his
Family was still respectable.
The new Harness and a careless
habit of counting Money in Public
soon gave them an enviable Reputa-
ton in the Principal Cafes, although
they could not observe that they were
moving any nearer to the Newport
Colony.
The shift from Pigs Knuckles TO
Ambrosia and Nectar had been a little
sudden for Elan, and sometimes,
when they we're darting hither and
thither, from Road.House to Play
House and thence to the Louis XIV
Sitting-Room by way of the Tango
Joint, he would moan a little and act
like a Gutter.
Whereupon Claudine would jack
him up and tell him to pull out his
The Yale expositor., 1915-02-11

Elan was the Main Whizzer in a
huddle of Queen Annes, bounded on
the North by a cleaning Cemetery, on
the East by a limping Subdivision,
on the South by a deserted Creamery,
and on the West by an expanse of
Stubble.
Claudine was the other twothirds Of
the Speciality.
She was a snappy little Trick. and
it was a dull hour of the Day or Night
when she couldn't frame up a new
General Order for the Breadwinner.
The Marriage came off during the
third summer of her twenty-seventh
year.
She accepted Elan about a week
before he proposed to her, thus sim
plifying the Ordeal.
While the Wafer on the License was
still warm, she put on her spangled
Suit, moved to the center of the Ring,
and cracked the Whip.
After that ELAN continued to be a
Hellion around the Office, but in his
private Quarters he was merely Otto,
the Trained Seal.
Claudine could make him bark, play
the Cymbals, or go back to the Blue
Bench.
There is one Elan in every Settle
ment.
All the wise Paper-Hangers and the
fly Guitar Players had him marked up
as a Noodle, but somehow, every time
the winning Numbers were hung out,
he would be found in Line, waiting to
cash.
He was not Bright enough to do any
thing except garner the Gold Certifi-
Gates.
Elan had no Ear for Music, and,
coming out of the Opera House, never
could remember the name of the Play
or which one of the Burglars was the
real Hero.
His Reading was confined to the
Headlines of a conservative Paper
which was still printing War News
Baseball had not come into his Life
whatsoever.
A cultured Steno, who knew about
George Meredith and Arnold Bennett
had to do his Spelling for him at IA
Bucks per.
The Cerebellum of Elan was prob
ably about the dimensions of a
Malaga Grape.
Sizing him by his Looks, one would
have opined that Nature meant him
for a Ticket-taker in suburban
Cinema Palace
Nevertheless, he had his Opinions
He believed that Congress should al
ways adjourn Immediately after con.
vening, and not tamper with Business
He felt confident that Our Country
might develop a Future If the Labor
Unions could be suppressed.
Elan was a mental Gnat and q
