We got in the middle of the P. M. from Nenâ€" ana where we had been since the end of July and went to the Norâ€" dale. I thought the tourist season being over, their rates would be down, but no such luck. A room with twin beds and a very relueâ€" tantly installed cot for Dick cost $6.00 for the night.

We flipped a coin and fortunately we won, so I went down and talked fast and furious to our present landâ€" lady and got the house.
