All the way bock Ginglss and Tony and I carried our baby . leopards in our laps, and by the , time wo climbed down out of our .saddles along about midnight we . needed clean, dry clothes worse . than we had evor needed them before. In the days to como wo were to learn that the leopard kittens were a feeding problem, , but at no time in their lives, right from that first day, did they ever havo any troublo with elimi nation. Tho cots wore os tired as their captors by the time wo reoched . Jho lodge. After they coch hod a supper of milk which we drib bled Into their tiny mouths from the tip of a spoon they wore perfectly content to curl up again with their ferocious little heads on each other's bellies ond go sound asleep on 0 thick Oriental rug, which wo took from tho llv 1 ing room for that purpose ond put in the butler's quorters.

Ginglss, insisting that there was a resemblance to a girl in Calcutta, had named his "Mar got." And since Tony, whenever he was feeling his drinks, had a tendency to go into a certain very corny dance routine, it was only natural that he would call his ''S'-izy Q." Another reason for those selections, of course, was thut theirs were lady cats. Mine was a male, and in addition .to being the more active of the three he had a habit of licking out with his tongue and making a hissing noise whenever either of the oth ers got too close to him. I called him "Spitfire." ; rpONY ond Suzy Q flew back to lfitnmlncr fmm TOInlnn whila Ginglss and I and our cats went down to Calcutta to arrange for our return to America. I knew It would bo good to see the States again, to visit with my family and friends back home. But there was a feeling of going out of action; of leaving impor tant things behind things that had to be done by someone, things that perhaps I should bo staying on to do. I've heard soldiers talk that way when they are given a medical discharge. "Hell, tho war Isn't over yet, and I can still fight. What if I do limp a little bit? I con still carry a gun, can't I?" Sure, and I could still fly an airplane and tho C. N. A.C need ed all the pilots It could get to fly its transports across the Hima layas. But It was like that old saw: "Tho best soldier Is a live soldier." And the best pilot is a live one, too. If I stayed on in India drinking oxygen with tho C. N. A. C. I couldn't possibly havo remained alivo for more 3. C. Wlnsfon Co.; Dlsfributed NEA Washington Merru-GorRoand Continued From Page 2 This burned tho senators up. One demanded why the men who fought in Europe shoucldn't have a chance to spend their money and enjoy life now the shooting has stopped. Ferguson usked what the army is doing' to im prove the situation. Brig. Gen. Kenneth Roynll re plied the army is expanding post exchanges in France so men can buy everything, including gifts, at reasonable prices. Several senators quizzed Dean Acheson and Will Cluyton of the stale department os to who hud fixed the unfavorable rate of ex change with the French. Both replied they didn't know. Actu ally, President Roosevelt had done it, personally, during the Casablanca conference. Official Records Water turnod off, July 5: C. V. Talbot, 22(1 Fir; Home I .limber company, 11115 Jefferson.

Wacky pilots don't last long anywhere, and on the trans Himalaya run only the very best pilots survive.

TT was gocrdby to a wonderful bunch of boys courageous, hard-working lads who liked their Jobs ond the thrills they en tolled just as much as I did; who liked to laugh and drink and play cards; who liked carousing ond song and women and who day after day risked their lives on the touchest airline route in the world not because they had to but because they wanted to. i Ginglss and I were afraid that it was going to be goodby to Tony' Mcrccde, too, because during the first week of waiting for word from him In Calcutta we heard nothing. Finally we went ahead with our own plans, arranging transnortatlon to Karachi and Bombay and by liner across the Arabian Sea to Ourbln, bourn Africa. From there we would take the train to Cape Town, where we hoped to. get passage on a convoy or troopship return ing to the States. Two days be fore wo were to leac by piano for Karachi wo received word from Tony that ho would Join ns in Calcutta on the fifteenth. Al Prlvensal brought the message, having arranged to spend a few days with us In the city before wo left, and we sent word to Tony through the pilot who had brought Prl down that we would meet hlro in Karachi Instead. Then Ginglss and Pri and I start ed making the rounds ot the bora and night clubs and theaters. Two days later we shook hands at the oirport, and Gingiss and I and our' leopard kittens began tho long journey home. (To Be Continued) EPS SERVICE, INC. Pretty Apron Ey MRS.
