They were not taking any chances. Pretty soon they heard a sound, like someone knocking, inside the chest. The Afrite took a bunch of keys from his pocket and got busy with the padlocks which held down the lid. When the last one was unlocked, and the chest opened, a very good-looking cutie with bobbed hair stepped out. " 'What do you want now?' the Afrite asked in a sour voice. " T WANT to be where I can see you, J angel face,' the bobbed-haired lady said, patting him on the cheek, 'and I can not stay locked up in that chest any longer because I am afraid that some unscrupulous hussy will try to vamp my great big beautiful boy while I am not looking. So if you do not mind I will sit here where I can see your face and as I am sure you must be tired after your long walk, why do you not lie down and go to sleep? Mama will just stay here quietly and keep the flies off of papa, and I notice there are a great many flies flying about although they do not seem to light on me.' " Now of course Shariar and Shahzenan, being married men, had heard that kind of talk before, and they got to laughing so they almost fell out of the tree. So the cutie who had been in the box looked up and saw them. " 'Come down,' she whispered, making signs to them. 'My husband is asleep, and there is something I want to say to you.' " "She certainly was a fast worker," Salome laughed. "Did the Sultans come down?" "Oh, yes. They had to. She kept after them and gave them to understand that if they did not do as she asked she would wake the Afrite up, and that would be the end of a perfect day so far as they were concerned. "When they got out of the tree the cutie gave them the once over. " '\\/E cannot talk here,' she said, 'because it might wake up my husband, and the poor dear needs his rest.' So she took them into the bushes. "Shariar looked back in the direction of the tree. " 'I think we had better be going,' he said. 'My brother and I have been husbands ourselves and we know how they feel when they wake up and find their wives talking to strange gentlemen.' " 'That is all right,' the bobbed-haired cutie told them. 'My husband is a very sound sleeper, and besides, I want to show you something. You both seem a little depressed, and what I am about to show you is a very remarkable thing, and may cheer you up.' So she took a gold chain out of her stocking, and there were a lot of rings on it. " 'What is the idea of all the jewelry?' the Sultans asked. " 'Just some little souvenirs I have collected,' the cutie told them. 'That dumbbell over there swore when I married him that I should never look at another man. So he keeps me locked up in that chest, with all those padlocks on it, to make sure I will be true to him. Now, being a perfect lady, I do not like to boast, but there are ninety-eight rings on this chain, as you will find out if you care to count them, and as I see you are each wearing a rather nice one I would like you to hand them over, because I have set my heart on making it an even hundred.' " Thais sprang to her feet. "That dame," she said, "had the right idea. I move she be made a member of the Club." "The motion is out of order." Eve pounded onthetable. "Let Scheherazade go ahead. I am sure we are all very much interested. What happened then?" "Well," Scheherazade laughed, "the way Shariar tells the story, courtesy prompted Shahzenan and himself to do as the lady wished. They were afraid, he claims, that if they didn't, she would wake up her husband and he might have failed to understand. At any rate, they came back to Bagdad without their rings. And they decided that the Afrite was worse off than they were. "Naturally, Shariar was even more sore on women, when he got home, than he had been before. So after his brother went back to Persia he decided that the only way to have a wife you could be sure of was to marry a new one every night, and send her to the guillotine the first thing after breakfast the next morning. "Well, you can see at once that while this was pretty soft for the Sultan it wasn't so good for the Bagdad flappers. Any girl, they said, would be glad to be queen of the harem as a permanent job, but they did not think much of it as piecework. So when the stock of willing brides got low, I had an idea. WHY not start in to tell this bird some snappy stories?' I said, 'and break them off just when the hero and heroine are about to go into the clinch? That will get him so excited he will put off the execution in order to find out how the thing turns out.' So when my father, the Grand Yizier, told me that I was the next victim, I began my series of yarns. As you all probably know, the scheme worked so well that I kept it up for a thousand and one nights. By that time Shariar had got so used to hearing me talk he couldn't go to sleep without the sound of somebody's voice. When I ran out of plots I bought him a radio and tuned in on the bedtime stories. Later on he took up the movie serial habit. Goes to one every night, even now. It's most convenient." YOU certainly are right," Sappho laughed, "when you say that no man can be sure about a woman until she is in her grave, and even then is it problematical. Only the other day I ran into Henry the Eighth, and he told me he was having a dreadful time keeping his dead wives straight." Lucrezia Borgia did not seem to be greatly impressed. "It seems to me, Scheherazade," she said, "that your husband was pretty sure about you — at least for a thousand and one nights." " Nights, yes. But the poor dear got so tired listening to my yarns he had to stay in bed all the next day in order to catch up on his sleep. That left me fairly free. And of course, after I bought the radio, things were even more simple. The Every advertisement in PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE is guaranteed.
