THE GLAND STEALERS

Gran'pa is ninety-five, possessed of £100,000, a fertileimagination, and a good physique. He sees in the papers accounts ofthe theory of rejuvenation by means of gland-grafting.

Nothing will satisfy him but that the experiment should be madeupon himself. He acquires a gorilla, a hefty murderous brute, andthe operation is performed with success. That is only the beginning.

He next determines to dig out an old love, and make her young, too;and Sally, a dear old lady of seventy, arrives upon the scene.

Inspired to philanthropy by the thrill of regained youth, Gran'padecides to take a hundred or so old men to Africa, capture a likenumber of gorillas, and borrow their glands.

There are thrilling adventures with the gorillas, whilst theold gentlemen supply the comedy—there are not enough glands togo round. The result of the operations is a surprise to all,particularly to the old gentlemen themselves.
