They gave their mounts heel and away

The Sugar Cookie stuck out of the night like

old cavaliers walked their horses In through
the stone posts of the gateway, up the curved
driveway almost to the entrance

"Saxophones they call EN-" volunteered Mr..
Peaslee. Looks like lively place, 1t sure

The two went inside If they suffered any
trepidation they failed to show It. They were
both quite unconscious Of the sensation which
their arrival was creating
Mr.. Peaslee had "beens around" in his earlier
life and figured he knew the ropes: the new
ones couldn't be much different from the old.
So he slipped a bill to the head waiter.
"Bub, we want a table where we can see the
whole show. We've just couple of boys out
for q lark"
Fright this way sir" replied the head waiter
trying to conceal his surprise.

cred voice, you don't know us from hole in

Mr.. Peaslee and Mr.. Mowbrey watched the
proceedings on the chosen Saturday night with
appraising eyes, Outwardly they were ready
to go to bed But If Martha had looked more
carefully at her charges, she might have seen
that the two of them were all dressed up under
their bath robes.
The two old men watched their opportunity,
then threw OF their hateful robes, standing
forth in their evening glory.
WELL" said Mr. Peaslee. Were ready.
What's that you're gettin, Dave?"
Mr.. Mowbrey was fishing in an old suit case
He dug up what he wanted after awhile, six

Of much handling.

wore one Of gray almost like it.
The two adventures went out softly It was
the first, time they'd left the Home since their

They locked arms and rolled down the road
