"Thereupon Bpdflsh and I went blithely to an attic f>18 years old at a conservative estimate, washed the cas tle and the moat and the ramparts from our hands and faces and descend ed to the dining room, a small apart ment in the rear of mudame's cake shop. "Our landlady's son was there, ready for us. So was a soup.

Time and again we would ask that T renchman how he had come by his culinary skill, but in vain. He would merely smile and give us another help ing. ^ on may got some idea of what sort of meals that cuss gave us when I tell you that Bodfish summed up his ability in these words: " 'At times hC Seems to lose his culi nary grip and descends to mere per fection ' "After the twenty-ninth meal Bod fish and J remembered that we be longed somewhere, had a number of relatives, were engaged in business, had restive careers to coax along. So we called our cook, announced that we were leaving and wanted to know how much we owed. " 'S|\ francs for each day. mes sieurs.' said lie. 'One for the room, one for breakfast, one and a half for lunch, two and a hair for dinner.' Bodfish and I fell heavily against each other I hen we paid and started for the door " 'Wait.' said our host 'I. too. travel I away today." " '\\ hither are you bound?" we asked.
