q. 1915. Mrs. Wilkcnning contended
that il was due to her efforts, while
Miss Pickford asserted that the boom
the screen received from the war and
especially from prohibition had en-
sbled the producer to increase her
guaranty from $4,000 to $40 900 q week.
Counsel for Miss Pickford informed
the court that "the foreman of the
jury had had AS much to do with the
raise as the plaintiff
Mrs. Wilkenning was tho only wit
ness after the two lawyers had finished
explaining what they were about to
prove. She testified that in December,
1918, the actress came to her in great
distress over the ST 100000 contract
which Charlie Chaplain had Just signed
and asked if something could not be
done to obtain a similar arrangement
for herself Miss Pickford. the wit
ness added declared herself loath to
leave Mr.. Iukor's employ, and it WAS
agreed that offers should be sought
from other film leaders in order to
convince him of her $l,o00,0o0 potcn-
tialitcs.
Mrs. Wilkcnninc continued that
within three months she got for tho
actress two offers Of nearly that
amount sud asserted that the contract
which Mr.. Iukor finally signed was in
large measure based on these indica-
tons of Miss Pickfords popularity.

made offers through Mrs. Nilkcnning

Jumper the Hare
Jumper the Hare crouched at the
foot OF tree IN the Green Forest aud
a little way from him on stump sat
W hitey the Snowy Owl. Had you been
there to see them both would have
appeared as white as the snow around
them, unless YOU had looked very
closely. Then you might have seen
two narrow black lines back Of jump
er's head. They were the tips of his
ears, for these remain black. And
near the upper part Of the white
mound, which was Whitley, you might
have seen two round yellow spots, his
eyes.
There they were, for all the world
like two little heaps of snow. Jump
err didn't move SO much as a hair
Whitley didn't move 50 much as a
feather. Both were waiting and
watching. Jumper didn't move, be
cause he knew that Whitley was there.
Whitley didn't move because he didn't
want any one to know he was there.
and didn't know that Jumper was
there. Jumper was sitting still be-
cause he was afraid " htey was sit
ting still because he was hungry.
So there they sat. each in plain
sight of the other, but only one see
ing the other. This was because
Jumper had been fortunate enough
to see Whitley alight on that stump.
Jumper had been sitting still when
Whitley arrived, and so those fierce
yellow eyes mad not yet seen him. But
had Jumper so much as lifted one of
those long ears Whitley would have
seen and with his great claws would
have been reaching for Jumper.
Jumper didn't want to sit still. No.
indeed! He wanted to run. You know
It is on those long legs of his that
Jumper depends almost wholly for
safety. But there are times for run
ming and times for sitting still, and
this was a time for sitting still He
knew that Whitley didn't know that
he was anywhere near. But, Just the
same, il was hard, very hard, to sit
there with one he SO greatly feared
watching 50 near. 1t seemed as if
those fierce yellow eyes of Whitley
must see him. They seemed to look
right through him. They made him
shake inside.
Il want to run. | want TO run.

himself. Then he would say, But
