CHAPTER LXVI

I ASK, the baby leopard, had per-
A@ feet manners all through my re-
hearsals with him.
Mademoiselle Elsa, his owner and
trainer, was delighted with his ex-
emplary conduct. She was making a
pretty sum from the rent of the ami
mails and she was having fine vaca-
ton with the movie company in
camp. Naturally she was glad to
have Laski behave himself.
She pulled him around by his tail,
picked him up and carried him about,
turned him on his back and tossed
him into the air and he fell on his
feet.
ThengI handled him as she had
done. Even Dick, whom | observed
just outside the Melted bit of forest
where we rehearsed, seemd salts
fled that Laski was as gentle as
Mary's lamb.
Gairee, the big leopard, scolded
continually whenever we took the lit
tie cat out of the cage. She meowed
and whined incessantly-she missed
the bebe, Mademoiselle Elsa explain
ed.
We had to rehearse with Laski
several times before Elsa would go
outside the set and let me pet and
maui that polished bit OF muscle
alone. We did not rehearse with the
big cat at all. Mademoiselle Elsa
would put her through her part in
the scenario for US. 1t was adapted
from one she used in the circus,
wherein Gairee was rather more dec
orative than active.
In the scenario, was little girl

a baby leopard in its warm bed, and
make playfellow of it. And at
night | was to cuddle down and 60
off to sleep happily, using the baby
leopard as a pillow.
Then the mother leopard would
come home, and descry me from the
branch of tree. And she would
leap upon me.
Demaison expected that the flying
leap of the big leopard would Of
itself make stunning picture, but
of course, when the leap was made,
dummy would replace me, asleep
with the little beast.
Mademoiselle Elsa protested that
we did not need dummy, nor any
dope for Gairee. The big cat was
perfectly harmless, she had lived like
one of the family all of her life.
Mademoiselle Elsa desired to put on
my clothes and lets the cat jump on
her = if we liked
We couldn't like that, because my
frock was five sizes to small for the
leopard trainer.
Demaison, the director, didn't APP
prove of giving Gairee too much
freedom in her part. He said he had
worked with animals of every kind
and ne never had seen a brute that
could be trusted.
We would use a dummy of me, as
planned, and Mamedoiselle Elsa must
see that the big cat had mild
soporific.
Gairee was to be shot by the
cameras while she crouched on a
limb with eyes blazing and tail
switching furiously. Elsa must make

Then a gentle but sufficient cleo
,tric current would be sent over a
wire previously placed on the branch
and Gairee would fly through space

daily. Sometimes l almost decided

istence.

THIS WAY OUT.

A LII the worlds movie theater,
and all the men and women
therein are merely spectators.
The theater will seat just so many.
When you have seen the show, death
taps you on the shoulder and ushers
you out. You must make room for
an unborn baby who is clamoring
for his turn to see Life, the movie
film that is repeated over and over.
This illustration lacks technical
language, but it is an Interpretation
of the philosophy of the distinguish
ed British medical genius, Sir Arthur
Keith.
Success is revolving ladder, like
a bicycle chain, travelling round and
round between two cog wheels.
Picture this ladder, moving slow
ly upward, over the top wheel, then
down and around again. We come
into the world, one by one, and start
climbing the endless ladder.
Our immediate aim is the fellow
on the rung ahead. We want his
place, often get it.
Too often, we forget the fellow
behind, who is after our place, our
job.
So it goes, with constant stream
Of millions of babies entering the
world to join the ladder climbing.
If all of US lived on forever, the
ladder would become clogged with
traffic, the world so thickly populat-
ed that there would not be room for
all-even standing up.
The necessity rises, of taking a
ladder climber out of the world about
as fast as the new one enters.
That taking-out is the process we
call Death.
1t is a natural process-as natural
as the dead leaf falling in autumn
SO that a fresh green leaf may APP
pear in spring.
Whose place did you take in this
world when you entered?
Who will take your place when you
leave? Some newspaper poet once
wrote gem ito the fellow I'd like
&c know; the fellow who's going TO
fill my shoes when it's time for me
to CO."
Why dread death? 1t is merely a
making way for new human life,
fresh and strong for the combat.
Your fight up the ladder of sue
cess would be easier in this genera
