Enough
Ry Richard H, Wilkinson
One day last spring a transcon-
tinental air Liner got off its beam
over the Rocky Mountains and
smashed op against a rocky peak.
1t was a few hours before the dis-
aster was suspected, and then the
airports could only guess at the lo-
cation of the wreckage.
Glen Owens, sitting alone in his
cabin on the slopes of White Crest
valley, heard the announcement
over his dry cell set. Young Glen's
cabin was located on the course
of the liner's fiigit, and earlier
in the evening he had heard sounds
that now lie remembered as being
rather queer.
Glen strapped on his skis, loaded
a pack with provisions and supplies
and set off up the valley. Three
hours later he saw a light and caste
to the wreckage. Two people were
dead, and another was so badly in-
jured that unless he had medical
attention pretty quick he loo 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
film $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
now with this reward money I
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 Int of money," Glen
agreed, "but suppose folks liked
ate? Then 1'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."
"Glens 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 $IQ;000
and you entunble something about
being a legcr-Leger-whatever it
is."
"Legerdemainist," Glen told her
patiently.
All of which made swell news-
paper copy. The reporters ate it up.
So slid readers. If Glen had been
famous before, he was twice as
famous now.
The next week three movie pro-
ducers arrived on the scene. One
of them offered a flat price of $25,-
600 fora 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. Do you want to
be a trapper all your life?"
"Thirty thousand!" said the
movie magnate desperately.
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 ho fashioned a sled,
using his skis as runners, twist-
ed sonic saplings into the shape
or snowshoes and wove them
with twigs.
Glen returned to Crest, bearing °
his $30,000 and the .next day he
and Leah jourued clown into Ari-
zona. Within a week they had pur-
chased a ranch.
They were married in the ranch
patio, and left immediately for a
honeymoon to Honolulu, It was
while they were on the boat that
Leah asked the inevitable question.
"Well, honey, it waslike this,"
Glen replied. "That offer of $10,000
was good, but we needed $15,000 to
buy a ranch of our own, so I fig-
ured if I turned down the first
offer folks would think I was daffy
enough to make me more famous,
and the movie folks would offer
Inc more money. Which they did."
"Glen Owens, what is a leger-?"
"I dunno," Glen grinned, "And
1 figured nobody else would, either,
All 1 know is I' saw it written out
once and copied ft off 'se's I'd be
sure to get the spelling right in
MO I wanted to ase it"

Although the "boughten" kind
are tasty, anybody who has eaten
doughnuts made in the good old-
fashioned "]down Bast" manner
will agree that there's nothing to
compare with them, Doughnuts
that are crisp - coated on the out-
side, soft and delicate within, faint-
ly sweet and spicy.
Unfortunately, they're a bit diffi-
cult to make properly, .but they're
well worth the bother. So here
are some hints on their making,
together with a really fine recipe.
For tender doughnuts, remember
the dough must be soft, not nearly
so stiff as for bread. Plenty of
flour on pastry cloth or board
eliminates the handling that is un-
desirable. A fat thermometer
registers the right heat - 375 de-
grees F. Higher than that means
doughnuts cook on the outside and
not within, and lower than that
Means they become fat - soaked.
Frying too many causes the tem-
perature of the fat to drop sharply.
The sour milk used in this recipe
makes for extra delicacy in texture
and extra richness in flavor.
