Abilene, then to Newton and finally
to Dodge City. Each year the cattle

CHAPTER Ill

The Square was pleasant at night.
Shadows concealed the ugly places.
Touched with the magic of moonlight, 1t
seemed to regain a little Of its former
dignity. You could forget that in the
sunshine 1t was old and dingy and
down at the heel.
"It's nicer at night, isn't lit" jamie
asked a bit anxiously as she walked
with Hugh beneath Towering locusts.
She wanted him to find the Square
endurable, at least. Mother, at sup
per-, had been SO discouraglng about
1t all.
"Much nicer" he agreed.
jamie thought that the words lacked
enthusiasm.

the stairs with jamie clinging like a
green cocoon to his arm. Young Doc

moment, by a choked feeling In his
throat. No one had called him my

was sixteen years old "My

to make you happy as we'll"
"Thank you, SIR"
A gong sounded four ringing notes.
Supper, youngsters. Come on"
They walked together out into the
dining room, Doctor Ballard in the
middle, one arm around jamie and the
other arm around Hugh. Mother"

vanished glories. "No one has time

Young Doctor Kennedy watched a
burly old man walking up under the
arbor towards the house.

asked thinking that the rugged old
chap looked a little like the gardener
at Roselyn.

"He used to be the caretaker of the
Square. He's Scotch and plays the
bagpipes and has a wonderful garden.
If you'll excuse me, I'll run down and
see what he's brought"
Young Doctor Kennedy remained at
the window. Presently he saw her
running across the grass to meet the
burly old man. az
Hello, Thomas" Her voice was
charming, young Doctor Kennedy
thought, low and bit husky, sprin-
killed. with gay little laughing notes.

A gruff voice thickened with a Scottish
burr.

tor Kennedy judged that the small
white dog was a cherished family
treasure He was surprised, accord
ingly, to hear jamie exclaim as she
yanked him out Of the poppy bed.
"You nasty mean little thingl"

holding her hand against her side.

white dog into the willow basket. "She

Doctor Kennedy thought that Mother"

Celia, the red-haired young man at

belle. He wondered about the scene
in the garden for a moment and then
put it out of his mind But Celia was
not to be SO lightly dismissed. Ten
minutes later, as he brushed his hair
with vigorous strokes, he found him

Although I remain active, whether
I am at the studio or at home, l can
appreciate what a haven home means
And it is my sincere belief that if one
would consider life itself in the light
that it stood for permanence-as
much as We can hope for in this
world-he would get so much more
from it if he would keep adding to it,
as one would to any haven that he
valued highly. by enriching it with

I believe that my close friend, Lii
liam Harmer, and I can stand up with
any of Hollywooo's fastest steppers.
We average about four motion pic
ture shows a week. and never miss a
preview whenever we learn about one.
We are not to be found at the
gayest whoopee parties, but a couple
of times a week we drop in on milder
parties given by our friends.
Those evenings when we do not get
out We can always be found at home,
playing rummy. and disSipating with
beer and pretzels.
And we travel when we get a chance,
too.
On my last vacation Lillian and I
drove about the country and covered
about 5000 miles We did this in
about six days We left Los Angeles
in the morning, took time out for
lunch at Santa Maria and sat down to
evening dinner in San Francisco the
same day. Tired? Indeed, we weren't
The next day we drove to Ben Bow,
where We passed the second night. On
the third day we drove to Eureka,
then to Crescent City and back to
Eureka for lunch. We returned by
Ben Bow and San Francisco to Santa
Cruz and Ben Lomond
When I had arrived in Santa Cruz,
the Metro-Goldwyn-M Mayer studio ex-
ecutives caught up with me by tele-
phone
They told me that I was wanted
for a picture the next day, and they
urged me to take plane so that
would get back in time I assured
them that I would be back in time
for work next day, but refused to take

And I did arrive in time, too-but
only after driving at breakneck speed

keep on the move constantly. 1t is

Perhaps the reason that I have
never been satisfied to let down a min
ute is because my father was a naval
officer He was captain in the Brit
ish Royal Navy, and wherever he
travelled he took his family with him
AS a result I was accustomed to being
constantly on the go. I picked up my

education on the move-in England,
France, Belgium and Switzerland,
wherever my father happened to be
stationed.
My childhood was a whirl of many
impreSsions-new languages and puZ-
zling customs. These rapid-f1re i'm
preSSiOnS gave me desire to travel
and see new things that has never
left me. And I must be constantly
active if I am to be happy.
I don't care how much work I am
given to do. The more that have to
accomplish, the more courage I have
to do it with. This year is my fifty
first year of active work. but would
no more think of retiring and living
an idle existence than I would consider
jumping off the Woolworth Building
I'm not content to look back and live
in the past, although I have many
memories.

and have appeared in every English

England.
For it was to Sonora Escobar
that I turned when Nine. Henrietta
Dunbar, the SeereSS of Sixth avenue,
failed to answer my cables asking
for the outcome of the fight. Sc
nora Escobar is a member of the
tattered gypsy caravan which moves
on EPSON Downs days before the
Derby, and stays until the meeting
is completed. I found her in a
rude tent pitched between a strong
mans outfit and a game of skill
peculiar to England, q cocoanut
saloon.
Sonora Was Deaf
A cocoanut saloon, if I may di-
gress a moment, consists of hun
dredSsof cocoanuts mounted on iron
slaves by steel hoops, and the OBJ
ject of the game is to stand off
some twenty-five yards and knock
them off with small balls. Any you
knock off are yours. The odds are
all with the proprietor, for the am
munition provided the thrower con-
sists of tennis balls, which bounce
off the nuts like hail off a roof. One
owner told me he had used the
same cocoanuts for ten years.
1t was a bit difficult making Sc
nora Escobar understand what 1
wanted, for not only was she deaf,
but she had never heard of Primo
Camera or Max Baer, and the
terms knockout" decision" draw
and rounds" meant absolutely
nothing. But she was quick to
learn, and in less than an hour
her wrinkled face lighted up, and,
in faultless Spanish, she said yah,
ich verstehe!" and began prepara-
lions to stare into the mists of the
future.
Uses Hood Method
Her preparations are a bit diff
ferent from Madame Dunbar's, who
always begins by taking a deep
drink from a brown bottle. Quite
different, in fact, for, of all the
clairvoyants in the world, she is the
only one who practices "hooding."
flooding" requires no crystal balls,
rubbing of palms, scratching of
heads. To "hood," when applied
properly, produces a semi-suhoca-
ton, and the nearer one approaches
complete suffocation, the clearer the
glimpse into the days to come.
Prices vary according to the
amount of sufocation. For a shill-
ing, for example, Sonora Escobar
simply Grapes the hood over her
