DAVID AND
JONATHAN
By cosMo HAMILTON
Ccopyrlght, By Joseph D. BOwles3

Glynde and Eilgay, whose friendship
puts that of David and Jonathan to
the right about, were fated to be pit
ted against each other in everything.
They cemented their friendship by
blacking each others eyes when
Glynde was nine and Hilgay ten. They
both played cricket. Hilgay's most
brilliant innings for Cambridge was
stopped at SO by a magnificent catch
by Glynde, of the Oxford eleven.
Naturally enough, it came to pass
that Glynde and HiIgay fell in love
with the same girl At least, that is
only my way of putting 1t. Giynde
and Hilgay would tell you, If they
liked you well enough to discuss the
matter with you, that they were in
love with the only girl in the world.
Men in love are never accurate
There was, to both of them, touch
of tragedy about this last coincidence.
Iney were dining In town together on
an off evening to see the MAN OF
Many Collars" at the Alhambra after
wards.
With something of blatancy Hilgay
had said, "Jack, I'm in love-"
Jack Glynde put down his cigar and
turned very pale.
II don't believe you. lists alb
surd."
Absurd? Good heavens, why?" said
Hilgay.
Because am, too, and we're dead
certain to be in love with the same
girl"
A little chilled silence fell upon the
two men. For moment they sat
looking at each other, superstitious
horror in the eyes of both. Neither
dared to ask what was her name.
Glynde waited for Hilgay to give the
name and Hilgay for Glynde. At last

they made a simultaneous movement
Their theater tickets were in their
pockets, but, with that tacit under
standing which can only exist be-
tween bosom friends, they turned
away from the Alhambra, and made
for the Embankment Each felt that
air was necessity. The Embark
ment is the only place In London
where 1t can be found.
For an hour, arm-in-arm, they paced
the nagstones. Sometimes Glynde's
hand would close hard on Hilgay's
arm, as though to say, Whatever hap
pens, old man, nothing matters" and
sometimes Hilgay would squeeze
Glynde's hand tight against his ribs.
and Glynde knew that be was saying,
whoever she is, old man, we are pals
to the end" 1t is well said that the
love of one man for another passes
the love of woman. These two never
really knew what their friendship
meant until the woman came into
their lives.
With sudden Inspiration Hilgay
took out half-a-crown.
"Heads or tails, Jack?" he said.
''Heads!" said Jack
Teddy Hilgay uncovered. 1t was
tails. i
"You must tell me her name, old
man." he said. Glynde cleared his
throat, took HiIgay's arm, and started
walking away from the Embankment
at four miles an hour towards the Ok
ford and Cambridge club.
On the steps of the club Glyndo
made a mighty effort
ENID Allerton," he said, and then
looked sharply round at Teddy. He
saw a wave Of blood fly into his face,
and felt his arm tremble
GOOD Lord" said Hilgay.
''Why, what's the joke? What's
your girls name?"
ENID Allerton," said Hilgay.
Glynde drank his brandy and soda
slowly. Hilgay's glass waa already
empty. So was the smoking-roum.
'sGood heavens isn't the world large
enough for us both?" Glynde's face
was twitching and his eyes blazed.
what have we done? what's the
matter with ps3 What's wrong with

"You BACKED my eyes. and won the

now and cutting in with the only girl
rye ever loved in this world"
They glared at each other like two
angry bulls. and then simultaneously
burst out laughing. Again simulta-
neously they hit the bell and broke the
thing, and as the waiter bolted 10
with a scared look they each yelled 10,
