George ". Tryon. the advertising ex.
pert, has taken out a life memberthip
card in the Never Again Club" So
far as he is concerned. he will never
again have anything 10 do with q pet
leopard Neither will he assist LADY
who has pet leopard as a travelling
companion
Through a client. he was asked to ala
in securing suitable quarters for a leop-
ard that was brought from Europe by q
titled woman. Anything to oblige a Gus
toner is his motto. So he set forth 10
do a little obliging
He learned that this particular pst
leopard dotted on calves heads Most Of
the butchers told him they were not deal
ing in calves heads this suumer-tust
as II it was an OF season for this jungle
oelicscy. He secured the town but
couldn't ind a single one
In the meantime, the leopard was de-
vouring rugs. carpets. bric-a-brsc, and
other little knick-nscks. and the LADY
was growing impatient. Likewise. the
leopard. Also Il was found necessary 10
md q place where a leopard could be
kept this summer Not a place could
be secured in town and at length an old
barn was found in the wilds Of Long
Island. The owner said he didn't have
much to live for anyway and to bring
the leopard right on out
That night the barn caught IRE and
burned down. There Is more 70 the
story. but there is enough woe in this
war-ridden world, so il is just a. well
to leave Of right here.
