Advertising Section «°B8BW that they needed men who could ride in the pictures, "tails — the Mexican Border !" The penny tinkled down. The profile of the copper-colored Indian looked up at me. And I came to Hollywood. My first engagement in the movies was to double for House Peters when the script called for him to ride a horse off a thirty foot cliff into a raging river torrent. While I was riding in Westerns at Universal, I met my future wife and we became engaged. But it wasn't until long after, when I began my career as a screen villain, that I felt I was earning enough to marry. And now, after years of tailored parts with Paramount, I am back in flannel shirts and sombreros and the out-of-door togs in which I feel at home. Now I am only playing at the adventurous life I lived in the old days, but when I get into the saddle, with my pack and the wide horizons ahead, I forget — almost — the long trail I have traveled since I went out to seek my fortune — and found it. I have been a lucky man. The trail has led me to a beautiful home, a family, happiness, work, friends — and a whole stable full of horses, which I ride in polo matches with the Midwick Blues. It's a far cry from a tent and a tin plate of beans in a desolate Alaskan waste. Still — well, it's like a sentence that I remember my father read aloud once from some Latin book, in which the hero and his companions have a lot of hard luck. "These things," said the hero, "will be pleasant to remember hereafter " They are. And when I see Tim, my four-year-old son, cuddling his cheek up against his saddle pony, I couldn't wish him anything better than my own experience.
