"The Sultan of Kaboo. fthat fell to
Big Tim and to, Maggie.
Big Tim drewtleft f So and Maggie
drew right d 19Nwhich were entirely
too far apart for Novers. Therefore,
Big Tim exchanged tickets with his
friend, Sullivan, the ice man. This, is
how Tim and Maggie came to sit to-
gether for the first time In their joy
Gus lives in the parquet of really
splendid theater.
After Big Tim had found the place
for his hat and Maggie had begun on
her peppermint chewing gum, two very
fine people wedged in past them and
sat in f 64-65, adjoining They We're
people Of so fine a texture that Big
Tim couldn't keep his shreMd, gray
eyes away from the mans sparkling
solitaire, and Maggie knew she would
give her eyes for fluffy, creamy dress
like the lady's. And for minute,
old. ugly Envy crept in and spoiled
the lovers paradise.
Blt Big Tim soon saw that the
mans thin, patrician face was very
set and stern, and that the lady,
though beautiful, was unhappy. He
nudged little Maggie and explained in
a horribly audible whisper
Mag Mag-the big blokes mad as
hornets and the lady amt any ways
ticked to DEATH
Mag nodded. and the fine lady, who
had overheard, Redeemed, then laugh
ed. The man didn't laugh, but the
fine lines in his face relaxed little.
The immense asbestos curtain rolled
roofward and the Court-of- Olympus
curtain rolled after. Big Tim and
Maggie gave their attention to the
opera and II was not until the mes
senger of the Bisara of Roongitang
surreptitiously kissed the sultan's
lovely daughter that Big Tim came
back to earth and noticed that the
very fine people We're still in trouble.
Our temperaments are absolutely
incompatible, the lady was saying

The man answered with look OF
pain, 1T is your perspective, your
superactive habit of analytical intro
spection. Elsie. That Is all.
Listen. Mag" commanded Big Tim
in another thunderous whisper. DE
high society guys is slingin' French.
Gee. such woids! Dey d break your
purity jaw bone"
This time the fine man smiled, too
and his lines relaxed wonderfully.
But they were soon at 1t again. 49,.
This is the end, Elsie" the man
mulmured. desperately; 81 suppose
you will never understand" And Big
TIM, hearing, took it upon himself to
explain.
"Ill tell you how it is lady. You
sec, the sultan's girl wants to hook
up with the w. y. messenger from
Roongitang, and de sultan's dead sore
on dc deal.
The man endeavored to frown Big
Tim into silence, but falling, laughed
outright; and the lady gave a little
sigh of relief and regarded Tim with
tWinklins eyes.
John, she whispered, "the big fell
lod simply won't let US quarrel. Wen
have to wait\until we can carry it off
in private"
But Big Tim, who possessed won
derful sense of hearing, had even
caught the whisper. He turned to
Maggie, who was watching The red
headsmen Of Mogadore sing seesaw
songs with Little Miss New York off
right center. Mag" he whispered, so
that the man in the box office heard
its a lovers quarrel. Now, if it was

Tim kissed rosy Mag right there in
the costly parquet
The fine lady saw and, somehow, a
tiny tear trickled from her brown
eyes, down, down, over pretty pink,
