From Will Over Fake Bout He Acts When He Has To And Thereby Outdoes j j Barrymore BY WLIL ROGERS ELL all I know is just what I read in the papers or what I see as I mess around We was making a Movie here the other week of Booth Tarkington’s book and play ‘Plutocrat” That’s what it was called But it’s liable to be released under the title Riches Traded for Virtue or The Gangsters Lost Moll Well in the "picture my family and I are on one of these Mediterranean cruises and we go to Morocco Or some country down there where it’s hot and full of Arabs and camels about again that the patrol resdlv-e- d to adopt him The officers bestowed on him the name of “Texas” Nobody knew w’here Texas had come from nor how he chanced to be in such a desperate plight when he was found It was enough that he was wise and plucky and lovable Down on the border even nowadays it is not always safe nor sensible to inquire too closely into a newcomer’s past life or antecedents BRAINS AND COURAGE The troopers knew brains and courage and friendliness when they saw it And they decided they saw all three of chose fine traits in So they their new chum Texas made him one of their brave force by adoption The job of the border patrol is no sinecure Among other forms of malefactors there is the everpresent smuggler seeking to carry contraband goods across the Rio pa-troli- ng Grande and into the United States territory" under cover of darkness It was against these smugglers that Texas first showed his prowess as a member of Ahe patrol Several men of the patrol force had lost their lives in skirmishes with smugglers who had a way of and Riffs Well I will say one thing for Hollywood If you want a couple of hundred real “Arabs” in a scene you just let the casting department let it be known that you do and you get that many real Arabs Anything under the sun you want it’s in Hollywood I believe you could round up a hundred Esquimos arid if you want the Waling Wall in Jerusalem you can get that with the original cast in fact the producers of the pictures will join in with the mob the way business has to kill Sometimes they patrol in a single year It was to this dangerous branch of the border service that Texas elected to attach himself OFFICIAL ORGAN I am going to quote from the official organ (“Our Dumb Animals”) of the Massachusetts S P C A for an account of the setter’s first night as a volunteer patrolman It is a true incident and was verified by the S P C A before it was printed : The “The night was pitch-dar- k shooting slew three or more troopers of the been lately j IN BARE SKIN Now among these Arabs and Turks and Foreign Legions and all we needed a few big “Senagamb-ians- ” big colored boys in their bare skin Well out here there is an awful lot of prize fighters and “awful”

patrol had information that smugwould attempt to cross liquor and perhaps dope at a lonesome spot down the river Four patrolmen were creeping on their hands and knees through the dense brush It was a Llewellyn setter weak on the bank o the Rl0 Grande and dying from hunger The officer “Texas was along He was in the gathered the half dead animal up ieacj Suddenly Texas ‘froge to a in his arms and carried him into point’ and stopped Everyone the barracks There the frozen strained ears but heard nothing beast was laid on a blanket in front After a moment Texas turned his of a stove and nourishing food was head and whined softly Thus the brought to him patrolmen knew he had spotted The setter ate ravenously Ap smugglers parently he bad been at his last “They waited breathlessly A few gasp from starvation and too feeble minutes later three smugglers came to keep upon hi feet Also the into sight through the gloom walkchill of the winter night had gone ing slowly and silently Each had a sack on his back and each carthrough and through him So affectionate and so clever and ried a drawn pistol in his hand “The smugglers came right toward both hands down" Den I sunk down the waiting officers who remained easy glanced over at the Gun men where they were until the three were and stayed there I wasent going upon them Texas had crouched to make any mistake about the down in

progress unwarned By Copyright McNaught Texas they would no doubt have1 Svndicate Inc) Not long after the incident I have just quoted there was another nocturnal clash between the patrol and a group of smugglers Again Texas gave warning of the outlaws stealthy approach But this time the border men were not so fortunate in bagging their game without firing a shot NEARBY THICKET The patrolmen were greatly out numbered by their foes and had tot retreat to the cover of a nearby-thickeAs they gained this shelter they noticed that Texas was no The dog had longer with them dropped to earth as usual after giving the alarm and had lain there awaiting further orders from his human pals But! those pals had been too busy scuttling for cover to call him And now he was lying where the smugglers might see him in another instant and send a bullet through him One of the men of the patrol risked a bullet through his own head by breaking cover and dash ing back to wnere Texas lay By rare luck he and the dog got safely back to their comrades CAPTURED ENEMY Remaining n the cover of the thicket the border men held the charging smugglers at bay Then by crossfire they kept them from reaching the river until reinforce ments of the natrol came on the scene and rouraed up and captured the enemy The foregoing are but two of many instances wherein Texas has been of great use in the border guards He sepmed to develop an almost miraculously accurate nose for smugglers aqd other border malefactors He could trail them or could sniff out their ambushes or scent their listant approach as could no human Now here is an odd slant to this story “ Texas was a trained bird-do- g IThus one might reasonably have expected him to be distracted by the sight or scent of game birds during these natrol hikes of his and to neglect mere human prey for the sake of this ancestral instinct But he did not Even when a covey of quail was on the ground between him and the smugglers he was trailing ne would not turn aside for even the fraction of a second in order to point he birds When his advance flushed them he gave them not a single glance but continued along his line of duty That is most unusual behavior for a purebred and fie’d -- broke hunting dog PATROL BARRACKS Nobody knew where Texas came from nor how he chanced to be lying half dead near the patrol barracks nor vhy he took so natBut he
