holiday Pete I said confidently to the bull bullterrier bullterrier terrier frolicking b by my side and antl his hla answering bark showed bowe that Pete fully approved my decision I began to have havo pleasant anticipatory thoughts of the tho luncheon I 1 meant to order as soon as I reached the inn D Delightful gustatory s memories of or meals I had ten eaton at nt the thc place came back to inc me and I realized that m my tramp and tho the ride in the motor car Clr had put a keen edge on my appetite It had been months since Id I'd seen e n tho the place but I could visualize every angle of it ft long IonS before I left the winding road and passed through the rustic gale gate that leads to the high h knoll probably probably abl ably the hi highest hest spot in this portion of ot the level Long Island stretches upon which tho the quaint Inn was situ situ- It had been ono one of or tho the bh big old farmhouses farmhouses farm farm- houses which abound In lu Long J Island Inland

who wished to dine well and quietly An n Interruption silt All there It was was' was I caught m my breath with sheer artistic pleasure a as I first saw gaw it through an opening in the tho giant pines which jealously guarded it it completely completely completely com com- hiding the Inn and its outbuildings ings from the tho casual view view- Only those who had b been en privileged to bo be its guests and tho the friends they had told of ot Its IUs charms know of the existence of tho the inn It never advertised and capitalized capi its Hs quiet exclusiveness 1 I walked slowly toward the tho house enjoying enJoIns to tho the utmost the vision Islon It presented Every appurtenance was wag In keeping keepin with the main building A few tew yards from tho the house an old windmill towered outlined a against the pines pine It was waa like lIka an old friend to me It overlooked overlooked over over- looked a n. little winding stream and in Sn previous summers there thero had been a rustic bench at its foot upon which I Dinky Dh DI cy and I J had often rested while waiting t for tor our dinner to l lw he o cooked I was sorry to sec see that tho the YI Viennese I proprietors had
