THE CASE OF THE LUCKY LEGS


DOWNLOAD: THE CASE OF THE LUCKY LEGS


"The Case of the Lucky Legs" is a 1934 Perry Mason mystery by the prolific author Erle Stanley Gardner, shown here in a 1941 edition. The story concerns a confidence artist who promotes bogus beauty pageants in small towns in California; local merchants put up the money for the event, and the winning woman, "The Girl with the Lucky Legs," is promised a Hollywood film contract. In fact, no such contract exists, and the promoter absconds with the money. Several young women have already fallen prey to this scheme when Perry Mason is hired to find one of them, Marjorie Clune, who has run away from her hometown in shame and is trying vainly to "prove" herself in Hollywood. Then the unscrupulous pageant promoter is murdered, and Marjorie becomes the prime suspect...

AMAR CHITRA KATHA - BUDDHA


In the area on the present border of India and Nepal, there was a small kingdom in the 6th century before the Common Era. When the prince was born, fortune- tellers forecast that he would be either a great king or a great saint. The king took every care to keep him in a life of pleasure so he would become king, not saint. The prince grew to be a strong, handsome youth. Yet he was kind; he saved a bird struck by his cousin's arrow and so claimed the bird as his.
One day, on a ride outside the palace through the city, he saw a sick, an old and a dead man. Their sight opened his eyes to the suffering in the world and set him thinking. One night, he left his wife, newborn son and the palace and went in search of knowledge to end suffering in the world.

He traveled far and wide and went through many austerities but realized that, sorrow can be ended, not by starving t he body but by freeing oneself from desire. He set out teaching this. People called him Buddha ('the Enlightened'). He started preaching against animal sacrifice as the means to satisfy desires. Soon commoners and kings alike started listening to him. There were detractors too, but he came out unharmed through all their evil designs. Back to his town during his travels, he finally won over his own family to his teachings.
