XII T STOOD at the bar in Calcutta's 300 Club drinking a coke while Tony Mercede polished off one Scotch and soda after another. I was thinking about how we might spend the rest of the afternoon, pending the arrival of Ginglss and Lane in the evening. "We might take a run out to Six Aero Road," Tony suggested. "You've never met Tangerine and Bitty." "That's right," I said, "I never have. But I don't like to go to a place like that. Why don't we give 'em a call and have them come into town. We could take them out to dinner and have a few drinks and enjoy ourselves." "Take 'cm out to dinner?" Tony cried. "Are you crazy? Who the hell do you think theso gals are society?" "No, but they're worth talking to, aren't they?" I asked. "Worth talking to?" . Tony was going apoplectic. I started to laugh, then casually turned to see if the fellow at my left had heard our conversation. Obviously he had, because ho was smiling broadly. Ho was a tall, good-iooklng lad about 30 to 31! years old, quite obviously Indian but of high birth judging by the regularity of his features, clear brown eyes, long thin face, aqui line noso and strong, chiseled jaw. Ho was dressed conserva tively in block with a kind of white ascot tic; wound tightly around his head was a smooth fitting bluck silk turban. Copyright, 1045. By MRS.

We, too, think con versation has a place in romance." He spoke perfect English by Ox ford standards, having a pro nounced British accent. tjOTH Tony's and the Indian's glasses were empty and I slg noled the bartender. He came running, saying "Yes, Sahlbl" and then, as his glance touched that of the stranger, he bowed deeply and murmured something I didn't understand. "These shall be on me," the Indian said. "Whatever the gen tlemen wish." I started to protest, but the bartender shot me a look almost of fright as he bowed again and said, "Of course, Your Highness." The Indian smiled at the star tled expressions on Tony and my self, and he bowed very gra ciously. Then he held out his hand and said, "Jagaddipendra Narayan Bhup Bohadur, Maha rajah of Cooch Behar, gentlemen. It is a pleasure to meet you." Tony and I introduced our selves and shook hands, and for over an hour the three of us stood there talking about the C. N. A. C. and the new Lcdo Road, which was Tony's special interest at the moment. And then, when the Maharajah learned that I had flown with the Air Transport Auxiliary of the R. A. F., the two of us fell Into reminiscences about England. "Vlnce" as he asked us to refer to him had gone to school In England, had taken his degree at Oxford, which ex plained the accent as well as the easy social mannor. I told him that Al Ginglss had hunted ducks in a Hurricane flEhtcr over the king's private preserves at Windsor Park, and J. C.

AL GINGISS was with Tony and me in the club a few days later when we ran into the Ma harajah again, and it was on that occasion, after he had heard Gin glss' own heroic account of the Battle of the King's Ducks over Windsor Park, that he promised us some real hunting on one of his own estates in upper India near Tangsawa. "Maybe it won't compare to machine-gunning royal ducks," he laughed, "but I think you'll have some fun. I'll arrange everything for you ele phants and native guides and guns and all that. It's good hunt ing country up there, especially for tigers and leopards." He hesi tated a moment and then said, "But maybe you'd prefer hunAig wild boar? That's wonderful sport, you know." I didn't know anything of the sort. I had never even seen a wild boar and all I had ever heard about them was that they usually did all the killing. "You hunt boor with a spear, you know," the Maharajah went on. "It's really quite thriWng." Gingiss looked at him with an expression of distaste. . "Hell, that's just plg-stic!:lng," he said. "I'd rather bag me a tiger. A man doesn't Bet a chance like this every day in his life and stickln' pigs just ain't glamorous, that's all." Gingiss' words were weighted with witdom, so a tiger hunt it was. The Maharajah didn't ac company us, but three days before our leave was up we flew back to Dinjan and were met there By one of the Indian potentate's servants in a luxurious big Buick station wagon. It was a good hard ride over a difficult jungle road to Vlnce's hunting lodge at Cpoch, Behar, and when we arrived there we were dined lavishly In the huge palatial building. In the morning, after a line big break fast, we stepped out onto the porch to got our first look at the accoutrements of a first-class In dian safari.
