the Judge spoke.

both the old boys had three cups,
and then they adjourned to the patio.
There were outdoor hickory chairs
there, and the old green benches,
and the patio was warm and fra

trailed from one arbor and a Mis-
sion grapevine from another, and
where humming birds thrummed.
One looked out along the hill slope
and saw Early Bills three tall pines,
and a monster white oak, lower
down, where the woodpeckers with
their constant "Ickety-ickety-ick-
ety. were already busy using their
small bright red heads for hammers
and their bills for drills in the hard
wood. The small part of the world
encompassed within the King Cole
Valley was stepped in peace and
yellow sunshine, and only harmoni-
Gus sounds drifted through it on
soft dry breeze.
''It's so lovely here!" Ann Lee
said in small, hushed voice after
a deep breath.
Cal Roundtree, head down while
rolling cigarette, muttered:

dirty devil Rance Waldron gobbles

narrowly at the Judge. How about
it, Judge? You ought to know, being

The Judge cleared his throat, but
Cole Cody cut IN. He extracted one
of the two wills, twice folded, from
his vest pocket and handed it to the

heartily. "PQ take care of it for

an interesting talk by Prof. EMIL
Torch on the historic building sur.
vey made in the early 1s30s when
so many architects were unable to
find work. Prof. Torch directed
this survey which covered the vari-
GUS localities in Michigan where
these fine specimens Of old build
ings could be found. These build
ings were measured, interesting
features noted and recorded by
charts and diagrams. Prof Torch
spoke OF the historic buildings on
Mackinac Island and of outstanding
examples of the Greek revival types
in southern parts OF Michigan. His
talk featured the 100 year old Judge
Dexter house near the village OF
Dexter. It is gradually being re-
stored TO its original state, repre-
senting the best OF the architec-
ture OF the early 1s40s.
After his talk the company Wis

in the main part are two drawing
