vinced.

Ten. eleven, twelve minutes passed,
and suddenly CLANCY fell over with
a scream Of pain. Physicians were
summoned and the harness re.
moved. but CLANCY did not move.
The doctors pronounced It a case OF
partial paralysis and ordered
CLANCY to give up the part unless
he he wished TO actually become a
hopeless cripple. CLANCY spent the
rest OF the day on a couch in the
studio and at 3 o'clock the next
morning resumed his harness.
