The LOG CABIN ON BEAVER TAIL. May 22ne
we had our first view of the interior of the
Beaver Tail log cabin, and found it as inviting
as our dreams had led US to imagine. The big
fireplace held CHEEKY fire, and on one side o
it was big arm chair, once seated in whicl
we found ourselves SO well contented that onl.
the previous warning from our hosts that if w
STAYED we must get the dinner, gave us tn
necessary courage to move along. In one cor
ner we noticed an ingenious cabinet fashione
from logs, with well filled bookshelves abov
it. A comfortable couch in another cornel
tables, shelves we'll filled with housekeepin
utensils and dishes. Above the fireplace
mantel filled with attractive ornaments, an
on the other side of the fireplace small cool
ing stove,at which Bobby and l looked askanct
since it was the one factor that shortened on
visit Our merry hosts were on the river IN
, boat and we "held the fort" for the time BENZ
. Still there were lurking possibilities in tha
cook stove which we wished to avoid. After
, search we found the visitors register and il
scribed our names thereon, as we had been n
quested, then regretfully turned away ar
closed the door behind us. Long live the K
cabin, on Beaver Tail and the three jolly gel
, tlemen who have fashioned it 30 skilfully n
have made Of it such q homelike place.
