Charles Kirchner and Henry Hanno
Of Portland and 1t was Hanno who
came a few days ago and found the
house securely locked and his keys
in Portland.
Mr.. Hanno was sorely put out. He
tried all the doors and prled at the
windows, but the lodge was built to
face the winds of winter as well as
to offset the warm breezes of sum-
mer. 1t stood like a fortress.
Hanno started for home disguested
with his forgetfulness went part way
up the road, then suddenly returned.
There is a big open fireplace in the
lodge and Henry played Santa Claus
with an agility that is surprising.
Somewhat the worse for his expert
ence, but happy over the bright idea
Henry emerged from the fireplace
and the doors of Kirchanno Lodge are
now wide open.
