He waited outside until we had signed up for rooms. When he saw us head for the ele vator he came in and briskly ' walked across the lobby to Join us. All the way up in the elevator he complained In a loud voice about the taxlcab situation In Bombay, continuing his lusty lament until all our baggage had been brought to the rooms and the porters were paid off and the doors closed. Then ho sat down the canvas bags ' and dropped into a chair, ex hausted. In the welcome silence we could then hear the protesting whines of the cats. ' We had arranged for transpor ' tation to Durbln on the east coast l of South Africa aboard the British passenger ship Strathmoro, and during our stay in Bombay we gave considerable thought to how we were going to get the cats aboard without 1 ttlng the ship's crew know anything about It. The ' best bet finally seemed to be to ' put them back In the two canvas bags, and that is what we did. I took one ba; with Spitfire i it, and Tony tork the other contain ing Margot and Suzy Q. Glngist said 1'. was up to us to get them out of Dombay; he had gotten them In. stalled around until the ln:t minute before the ship sailed ai '., in the excitement of our late arrival, together with the fact that W? were still wearing our service uniforms, the port authorities gave us no trouble at all.

One of us was al ways in the stateroom, another of us was always filching extra tow els from the general toilet rooms to use quite inadequately as diapers for tho pets. These had to be washed out and dried and used again for the same foul smelling purpose. Asking the steward to bring a pitcher of luke warm milk to the room hadn't seemed to disturb the fellow the first time "One of my friends is a little uneasy on the water," Glngiss had explained. But when the same request was made every two hours the steward began to show a bit of interest as well as annoyance. Finally, toward evening of the second day, I intercepted the Cap tain as he was heading for his cabin and said, "Say, Captain, how'd you like to see something? I know it s against the rules out d'you know whut I have in my stateroom?" 'No; sir," the Captain said stiffly, "I have no Idea what you have in your stateroom." "well, sir," I said, "you'll cer tainly get a kick out of this! Walt here a minute and I'll bring it out and show you." AS I led Spitfire out into the cor-rlrlni- t ulilfarl fnr the ffin- taln's reaction. For no good reason I had an idea he would take an immediate liking to Spitfire. What in the hell is this?" boomed the Captain. His face turned purple and his gray mus tache bristled as he drew, himself. J. C.

"Just a leopard, Captain," I said. "Cute little fellow just a kitten. Captured him myself ' in the Jungle. Taking him home back to the States you know look now, Just put out your hand, real slowly. He'll come over to be petted." - i ... i Cautiously the Captain bent down a little and stretched out a hand. Spitfire studied it warily a moment, then' he got up and trotted forward. The Captain touched the back of his head, twiddled his ears, stroked his back. ' ; ' " ' " They were friends In two min utes. ' " ' There was a trying moment' a couple of hours later when Gln giss and Tony and 1 trotted' out all three of the leopards for the Captain's inspection, but after a certain - amount of protest and sputtering he calmed down and agreed to expand the accommoda tions then being prepared for Spitfire in the steerage. i 'THERE was only one disturbing nnla In tha Antlra nlTalr thm and thst was that Ginglss' Margot was acting strangely. She pre ferred lying down to standing and she didn't want to play with the other cats or even' to be petted by Al. She hadn't eaten well for 12 hours or more and the way she curled up when she was lying down suggested stomach pains. The reason, we knew, was that she wasn't getting barley water with her milk.' In the excitement of getting the cats on the boat at Bombay we had forgotten to lay in a supply of that essential di gestion aid, and there was none of It available on the boat. . When the captain noticed Mar- got's lethargy he summoned he . ship's doctor. For the next two days, under his treatment which consisted of adding a couple , of drops of brandy to the 'milk she showed some improvement. And then one nikht at 2:30 a. m. the little leopard let out a lost feeble whine and died. (To Be Continued) "' 'i,.'
