WALKER, MINI, July SIT takes
a good man to stand in Albert Pfaen-
der's shoes, wear Pat McGarry's hat
and not feel somewhat pulled up with
Importance. Having tried the ex-
pertinent for couple of hours today,
feel that I'm in position to know
whereof l speak. 1t all came about
this way:
Some time ago that prince of good
fellows and royal entertainer, Hon. p
H. McGarry, extended a cordial and
urgent invitation to me to come up
here and spend as much time as l
could spare as his guest at his sum-
mer resort ''Glengarry." He insisted
SO hard and so great was my longing
to get in touch with this part of Min
nesota once more-I'd spent two days
here last year with the Northern Min
nesota Editorial Association-that
broke away from the desk yesterday,
boarded the Great Northern train at
Sank Centre and in due time was
landed in the town named in honor
of the big Minneapolis lumberman,
T. b. Walker.
After a rattling good supper at Ho-
tel Chase, a telephone message came
from my host that Farley Dare, the
bright editorial genius Of the Walker
Pilot, would call for me in few min
ute and take me across the lake to
"Glengarry." In few minutes
Farley hove to on the horizon, per-
sonally conducted me to his cosy home
situated on a high bluff overlooking
Leech Lake, and led me down long
flight of steps to his boat house.

Words that might be flung at it.
Mrs. Dare soon appeared and with
her father and her son, and with Far
ley as chief engineer, we started for
the McGarry stamping ground.
Speaking of lake, Leech Lake is

from the dock at Walker and your
eyes grow weary trying to discover

made an innocent remark about the
size Of the lake, when Farley smiled
a Dare smile and with a wink to his
better half who smiled in return, re-
marked: ''Oh, that's just small arm
of the lake: I'll take you over in the
big lake before you go back and show
you some lake." replied that l was
from Missouri and would like to be
shown.
After a delightful trip of fifteen
minutes we hove to alongside the
wharf at ''Glengarry." There stood
the Hon. Patrick and his charming
daughter Miss Edna McGarry to meet
us. Greetings over we were escorted
to the club house and passed pleas
ant hour in informal converse. Then
Mr.. and Mrs. Dare took their de-
parture.
The club house is something of a
building. Constructed of jack pine
logs with the bark peeled off, the logs
standing erect on end and the inter-
stices filled with cement, all parti-
tions being made in the same way, it
has a beautiful rustic appearance,
standing three stories high with bal
cony on all four sides, screened in and
provided with hammocks, easy chairs
and cosy corners which invite at every
turn. On the ground floor is large
reception room with fire place, also
a large parlor provided with piano and
other conveniences. There are sleep
