several times the face of the good Calph
kindled as doth the dawn and, turning to those
who stood about, he shouted proudly: 81 might
say, gentlemen, / have been Meyered-you
know; the Meyer committee and mire; get it?
and l might also say / have been Inter
myered as well. Meyered and Untermyered."
Then strong men wept at the Caliph's jest
and turning to the lesser pasha he straightway
in gratitude gave him a place in the Market
Department. And the laughter fingered long,
so that scribes of the kept press who fingered
far away from the effulgence of the Caliph's
countenance asked leave to approach.
And Hy-lan, shouting above the laughter Of
his court, gave them leave and to them spake
nlodestly:
Il for the people and against the in
terests. | also have plan whereby the trac-
tion muddle may be solved and the present
congestion be relieved. I bear no malice,
though have been-let me see; oh, yes-I
have been Meyered and Untermyered."
And the scrbes wrote down the words as
we'll as they might for merriment, and de-
parted, and the Caliph's jest was printed broad
cast so that all his people might revel in
his wit.
Now, in these days the streets of the Caliphs
city were choked with traffic so that there was
space for all to ride, and so doleful had be-
come the lot Of the citizens that the Sultan
Nathan surnamed The Curious, had appointed
men Of wisdom to see what might be done to
solve the problem.
And they found in their inquiry many
strange things. Water, they discovered, had
poured upon the stock of the traction COM
panies with disaster, and many items, it was
found, had been tloated by the food from their
proper place on the debit side of the ledger to
the credit side.

Shoot!
And Shahrazad, thus entreated began sub
stantially as follows:
"O king, it hath come to me that in the
fourth year of the Profit, when the day of
choosing was past and the great host of four
hundred and seventeen thousand who had
risen to insure length Of days to the Caliph
Hy-lan had disbanded, the good Calph him
self safe proudly amid his officers of state in
his great hall. And now and then he passed
his hand before his eyes, not so much from
weariness as bedazzlement, for his vizier
Sinn-ott OF the Gorgeous Garments had cele-
brated the victory by the purchase of new
kaftan and fez, outdoing all earlier efforts
in their glory
'Yet, despite his magnifcence, gloom hoy-
cred over the great soul of Hy-lan, for the
days of his speechmaking were past and those
who had prepared his words had departed
aweary, to their homes. Yet speech was as
the breath Of his nostrils to Hy-lan of the
Ruddy Countenance, wherefore he sighed and
said at length to the emirs and pashas who
stood about him:
W VSI-d-oay, tne VICTORY is won ana the
people have triumphed, for am for them and
against the interests. The rebel Enir Kuran
is vanquished and his host with him. I bear
no malice toward them. In fact, Untermyer

Then laughter arose until those who had
dined were driven to the verge OF apoplexy.
Yet after many days those who had heard
the Caliph's boast sought him out and, salaam.

the key to how the traffic muddle and the
congestion in the streets and squares of inv
city may be solved, and the people spared
further expense thereby, give it to US. We
pray"
And Hy-lan turned a kindly ear to their
pleading, saying:
Behold, it is simplicity itself Let US pur-
chase motor buses to the amount of seyera,
million dollars and run them"
But some presumptuous son Of iniouitv
among the petitioners spake:
Cousin Of the Comet, where is to be oI-
tanned the money for the purchase of these
buses, and where will men run them in these
crowded streets if they purchased?"
Then replied the good Caliph haughtily:
These are trivial matters of detail

The great disappointment in these exhibits
of good things to eat is that the patron who

for the comestibles on view never will be served

it be right to disrupt the entire window ar

Now, It came to pass in the ancient City OF
