Ne) * TB 5 " 'Daffy Enough LS One day last spring a transcon- tinental air lincr got: off its beam'. over the Rocky Mountains and smashed up against a rocky peak. It was a few hours before the dis- aster. was suspected, and then the 'adrports could only guess at the lo- 'cation of the wreckage. 'Glen Owens, sitting alone in his" cabin on the slopes of White Cres. valley, heard the announcement over his dry cell set. Young Glen's Labin was located on. {he course A v . I of the liners flight, and earlier in the evening he had heard sounds rather queer, J Glen strapped on his skis, l6aded a pack with provisions and supplies and set off up the valley. Three hours later he saw a light and came 40 the wreckage. Two people were dead, and another was so badly in- jured. that .unléss he had medical attention pretty quick he too would die.' On an improvised sled, Glen pull- ed the injured man to the nearest town and doctor. . Glen Owens not only received a reward, but he became, overnight, a figure of national reputation. "Three days after this'a man 'from - Hollywood, Calif, arrived in Crest, looked up Glen and offered to pay - him $500 a week to make a moving picture. Glen smiled and shook his head. "Nope," he drawled, "I always wanted to be a legerdemainist, and "mow with this reward money -1 reckon I got my chance." "Good gosh, man, it will take 20 weeks to make this picture, That's $10,000. Do you realize that!" "It's. a lot agreed, - "but suppose folks liked me? 'Then I'd have to stay out there and keep making pictures." * "You'll be a dumbbell if you don't grab this chance." "Maybe," said . Glen good-natur- 'edly, "I'm a dumbbell. already." "Glen! "What is the matter? Last summer you wanted to start a dude . ranch down in Arizona, but you didn't have any money. So you decided to go trapping for one winter so you could save: enough money - to: buy 'a half-interest in -a ranch and we could get married. And now you're offered $10,000 - and you 'mumble something -about 'being a leger--leger--whatever it is." : "Legerdemainist," Glen told her patiently. All of which made swell news- 'paper copy. The reporters ate itup. "So did readers. If Glen had been he was twice as _ famous now, ; The next week three movie pto-. ducers arrived on the Scene. One of them offered a flat price of $25,- 000 for a single picture. Leah Conroy was almost in tears, ° "Glen for goodness' sake, try and understand what this 'means. In another month you'll be forgotten, It's your chance. Po you want to be a trapper, all your life?" "Thirty thousand!" said movie magnate desperately. the -- Glen heaved a deep sigh. "O.K. If that's the way you want it, | Leah!" So Glen Owens went to Holly- wood and made a moving picture, Then he fashioned = sled, using his skis as runners, twist- ed some saplings into the shape of snowshoes and 'wove them with twigs. Gleii teturned to Crest, bearing his $30,000 and the next day he and Leah journed down into Ari- zona. Within a weck they had pur- chased a ranch, 2 They were married in. the ranch « patio, and left immediately for a honeymoon Ao Honolulu. It was while they were on the boat that - Leal asked the inevitable question. "Well, honey, it was like! this," 'Glen replied. "That offer of $10,000 was good, but we needed $15,000 to buy, a ranch of our own, su I fig. ~ ured if I turned down the first offer folks would think 1 was daffy enough to make me more famous, and the movie folks would offer aie more money. Which they did." "Glen Owens, what is a leger--?" "I dunno," Glen. grinned.- "And [ figured nobody else would, either, Ali I know is "saw it 'written' out "once .and copied it off 50's I'd be sire to get the spelling right in #4! By Richard H.
