on. "It‘s really quite thrilling."
Gingiss looked at him with an
expression of distaste. “Hell, that's
just pig-sticking," he said. “I'd
rather bag me a tiger. A man
doesn’t get a chance like thia ev-
ery day in his life—and stickin’
pigs just ain't glamorous, that’s
all.
Gingiss' words were weighted
with wisdom, so a tiger hunt it
was. The Maharajah didn’t accom-
pany 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
Vince's hunting lodge at Cooch
Behar, and when we arrived there
we dined lavishly in the huge pala-
tial building. In the morning, after
a big breakfast, we stepped out
onto the porch to get our first
look at the accoutrements of a
first-class Indian safari.

"You've never met Tangerine and

"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 'em out to dinner?” Tony
cried. “Are you crazy? Who the
hell do you think these gals are—
wociety!" -
“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 he was
smiling broadly. He was a tall,
good-looking lad about 30 to 32
years old. quite obviously Indian
but of high birth- judging by the
regularity of his features, clear
brown eyes, long thin face, acqui-

AL GINGISS was with Tony
H 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-
gisa’ 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—elephants and
native guides and guns and all
that. It’s good hunting country up
there, especially for tigers and
leopards." He hesitated a moment
and then said, "But maybe you’d
prefer hunting 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.

Lou Dumas Theft Case
Dismissed by Court
Theft charges involving a 8300
diamond ring, which had been fil-
ed in Justice Frank Hurley’s Court
against Miss Lou Dumas, had been
dismissed today on motion of the
district attorney’s office.
Miss Dumas was a state witness
when an unsuccessful attempt was
made to reduce the 810,000 peace
bond of M. L. (Blackie) Lawson,
who is seeking dismissal of ap-
peals in a maiming case and three
misdemeanor cases. When the ap-
peals have been dismissed he will
begin serving the four-year maim-
ing sentence.

QOTH Tony's and the Indian's
D glasses were empty and I sig-
naled the bartender. He came run-
ning. saying "Yes, Sahib!” and
then, as his glance touched that
of the stranger, he. bowed deeply
and murmured something I didn’t
understand. o
"These shall be on me,” the In-
dian said. “Whatever the gentle-
men wish."
I started to protest, but the
bartender shot me a look almost
of fright as he bowed again and
■aid. “Of course, Your Highness.”
The Indian smiled at the star-
tled expressions on Tony and my-
self. and he bowed very graciously
Then he held out his hand and
said. "Jagaddipendra Narayan
Bhup Bahadur, Maharajah of
Cooch Behar, gentlemen. It is a
pleasure to meet you."
Tony and I introduced ourselves

hour the three of us stood there
