would have been unfair to his bride.
But the letter closed in Valerie's face
the last door. 1t removed the last
temptation to hope for anything but
poverty and hard work - with great
deal of uncertainty as to her good luck
in finding the hard work to do.
Mrs. Clifford was waiting only till
her husband grew strong enough to
be taken out to the mountains of the
far West. The departure would end
Valerie's usefulness - and her wages.
She had little hope of finding another
position after her previous experiences

Full of confidence, he entered the
ring against the mighty ebony bruiser.
81 might as we'll have sent my punches
through the Panama Canal - they
haven't landed yet" he now admits
with smile. But they couldn't rule
me out for trying"
In Johnson's record, under date of
March 10, 1909, is the line -
''Victor McLaglen - won - Van
couver - 6 rounds"
Never was more daring and drama
concealed in few words. However,
Jack Kearns, later Dempsey's man
ager, saw the contest and said that
McLaglen was not disgraced.
Leaving johnson to climb the
rough. golden ladder of pugilism, Nc
Laglen started around the world.
In India he met young rajah OF
vast wealth and power. The rajah
liked the carefree vagabond who could
swrestle or fight or frolic, and whose
smile was more contagious than the
plague in his brown-skinned nation.
He made him his right-hand man.
One day, in a very playful mood. a
visiting rajah told MIR. McLaglen's
boss that he was not an expert shot
with rife The future movie actors
boss aimed bullet at Mr.. McLag-
lens right leg. 1t found its mark, and
the rajahs laughed so loud they could
be heard in Cawnpore.
To appease his wounded vanity and
leg, McLaglen was promoted. 1t now
became his duty to keep the people
from poisoning their beloved rajah.
His Job was to taste the food offered
to his master. When the latter de-
veloped an enormous appetite, Nc
Laglen left for England.
He became commissioned officer
in the World War, and was made
Privy Marshal of Bagdad. In this
capacity, he headed party that
searched different sections OF the
desert for hidden ammunition. On one
expedition he found ten-year
Arab boy who had been cruelty beaten
by his father This boy is still in Nc
Laglen's employ, and is his most
faithful friend. They often talk in
Arabian.
The war over, McLaglen re-entered
the ring. He abandoned pugilism
f., when offered the role of bruiser in
the film, Call of the Road" Normally
successful, he appeared in British
films for the next few years at small
salary.
He had married Scot girl, and
had a small family. They remained in
=. England with the Arab boy while he
came to Hollywood to appear in The
Beloved Brute" 1t made faint stir,
and was heard of no more.
A rough road loomed ahead. He had
squandered his substance during the
wandering years. He was too old to be
pugilist The vagabond days had left
only pleasant memories; he had no
money with which to return to Eng
land. A little success in films is often
more tragic than complete failure.
Nothing happened for many months.

even 10 INedI Oh tndt DldCk prospect.
When Valerie let slip the secret to
Mrs. Clifford. she was startled to be
told: There's a man out in California
who cures people like your father after
the doctors have given them up. He
re-educates their muscles. as he calls
it. Hundreds of men and women and
children have got up out of their beds
and their wheel chairs and taken up
crutcfes, and then changed to canes,
and dropped even the canes at last.
It's slow, but it works - not always,
but nearly. If you could get your

haven't any,"
Cant you borrow anywhere?
Maybe could lend you enough"
But I could never pay it back.
never"
81 think l hear my husband"
She was not trying to escape. She
was just thinking of her own troubles.
Like other rich people. Mrs. Clifford
had a hundred calls on every dollar
she could spare, and she forgot the
offer after that, or perhaps she felt it
indicate to press the matter. But the
hope she had Haunted before the
girls eyes was a new torture. 1t drove
Valerie to frenzy. She felt that she
ought to go out and steal the money.
She could think of only one way to
get it, and even that was not an honest
way, though safer than burglary.
Philip Rutledge would lend her any
sum she needed. But she simply could
not take his cash without putting her
self in pawn. What right had she to
condemn her father to lifelong torture
merely because marrying Philip would
not be her ideal of happiness? Even
life with the tormented Neal could
never be true happiness. She doubted
if there was any happiness to be had
anywhere for more than a moment.
She did not speak to her father of
the new dream she had, but continued
to toss it about in the back of her
heart. She was trying to compose just
the right letter to Philip. She could
hardly say fatty:
"You have often asked me to marry
you. have always refused. Now ac-
cept because I find that if marry you.
can get money enough out of you to
send my father to distant stranger
who may or may not cure him of his
paralysis"
OF course she could simply write
and ask for the loan that is. the gift
of the money; but that would be even
more indecent than marriage.
While she was frantically studying
this riddle, she received letter from
Philip that answered it:
Dear Val: You will be glad to hear
that have fallen in love at last. She
grand. You'll love her, too. We are to
be married within the month and &c
abroad for our honeymoon.
There was much more to the letter
and it ended with every good wish fol
her eternal happiness. Naturally ht

dium. At the ringside one night
director asked his name and address.
He was Frank Lloyd, whose latest
achievement is "Mutiny on the
Bounty" He was then casting for
Wings of Chance" in which the
hero was a smiling French Canadian.
After a test was made next day,
Lloyd said, well, Vic, you're it"
He played the part and stole the
picture" AS result he was given a
fve-year contract at $500 week.
His family and the Arab boy came
to Hollywood. Regularly McLaglen
drew his $500 week The months
passed. He had nothing to do. No
parts could be found for him.
Any man might be satisfied with
$500 week for five years. But not in
Hollywood McLaglen saw other men
getting more who could do less on the
screen than himself. AS always. he was
alert Tor an opportunity.
The rumor came that Fox was
going to make What Price Glory?"
and that Raoul Walsh was to direct it.
Gossip in Hollywood had Louis
Wolheim cast for the leading role.
That brilliant trouper with the
broken nose had already made the
part of Captain Flagg famous on the
New York stage.
When l wondered if the One-time
bruiser could follow in the footsteps
of the great Wolheim, he said, Il took
a chance with Jack johnson"
Can you be convincing?
81 can try like hell" was the
answer.
He went to see Walsh. That gentle
man, Spanish and Irish, had one eye,
and no emotion on the surface. With
heavy shoulders swinging and jaw
thrust forward, McLaglen entered
the directors Office.
Il want to play Captain Flagg, MIR.
Walsh"
Everybody wants to play Captain
Flagg," Walsh returned coldly.
But no one can play it like me-"
Ever hear of Wolheim?"
"Yes - then what?"
The calm Walsh looked at the huge
intruder. Are you game enough to
make your own test?"
Sure"
1t was a thousand -to-one chance.
Walsh turned to his assistant. Get
him a camera-man."
The scene was at bar. The as
sistant played the part OF a bar
tender, while McLaglen entered the
saloon.
He snarled and swore magnifi-
Gently. He gave his terse commands
in the manner of one who had never
been disobeyed. The lens almost
burned with his personality.
The test came to Walsh.
Like McLaglen, the dominating
director knew what he wanted.
That's Captain Flagg," he said.
went to see the film with Louis
Wolheim.
That superb actor watched McLag-
len closely. At the finish. he said,
Hes got everything. You'll hear
from him again"
Wolheim was right.
The ex-bruiser has added vivid
page to the history of cinema acting.

PLAYING FOR A BREAK

Mass, sends in the following deal.
He sat South. He saw his one best
chance, probably his only chance,
and went game by taking that
chance. His reasoning and play
we're both excellent. They were
playing that neither dealer nor
second hand should open unless
very strong; that third hand might
then open bidding on two quick
tricks, or fourth hand might open
on 2ls quick tricks.

Bidding went: North, 1-Heart,

North, 3-No Trumps, which held
the call, both sides being vulner-

The opening lead was the 4 of
spades. East's K won, and he led
back the 9. Vests Ace took the
trick, then he led back the 3, which
declarer's @ of spades won for his
first trick.
Mr.. OSullivan saw no chance to
fulfill his contract unless East held
the missing Ace of clubs, and also
unless diamonds broke evenly be-
tween defenders. Then if the first
trick in that suit could be given to
East, game seemed assured, as
East held no reasonable return
lead except a low club.
