as there was so much ice. When
she and her 'husband, the late

Inverhuron in June, there were
still ice floes on the lake. Of
course steel fishing tugs were
not in general use here at that

Rambling With Lucy
(Lucy R. Woods)
March went out •like a lamb in these parts'. The few very
'warm days last week brought gardening activity to the fore.
And as Lucy sat and watched from her chair, wishing she could
get her fingers into the goad clean soil of Spring, incidents of
other years carne to her mind.
Everyone who knew Lucy and her mother ten years or
more ago, also knew Lucy's constant companion, the mischievous
white fax terrier "Trine". She had the reputation of listening
in on people's conversation and acting accordingly to what she
heard!
• One year early in March when the snow had gone, Trixie
wanted out just at dawn one morning. Mother got up and let her
out, and stood by the hot air register waiting for Trixie to baatk•
at the dolor. Butt she didn't bark'
Beoomia g impatient, • mother went to the door. She could
Ahearn Trnxie's' white form out on the road ou'te de the gates.
enter n ,and thenh she door azid•
called. At first Trixie. paid no
raltireT �' the and ••
bolt for thhe house and boundledxin
ibhe door.
Trixie dashed in and jumped up on Lucy's abed! Ugh!!. The
basis for violet perfume was over powering! She clashed off
again at Luey's peremptory command.
Mother, who had foist her sense of smell, came in quite dist
ltuitbed.
• "You know,' she said, "I had to +bantg the sun room door
right in Sloippy's face. She was coming right in atter Trixie
and if I hadn't banged it, there'd have been an awful fight!"
"Slcippy" was the pet brown terrier next door and the 'two
females were very jealb u+s of each other.
"Are you' sure that it wasn't a skunk?" asked Lucy.
"No," ,lied mother, "It was light enough to see her long
thin tail."
"Well, Tr'ine's met up with a skunk," Lucy advised.
So instead of going bark' to bed, mother had to make strong
tcaffee and bathe Trixie with it. And also remove the coverlet
from Lucy's bed!!
On a subsequent occasion Trixie wanted out in the night but
peered out the door first. Lucy calmed out "skunks". Mother
'said, "It's a skunk, Trixie" and the pet discreetly backed into
the house and went to her bed.
Our neighbour had occasion to come in early in the morning.
"What's the matter with your sans porch?" she asked.
"Oh, Trixie met up with a skunk! Did Skippy catch it, too?"
Lucy asked.
. "Sikiippy hasn't even been out yet. She's upstairs in one
of the children's beds," she replied.
And when :our good neighbour went home, her family at tihe
breakfast table held their noses and asked: "Where have you
been?" -
Lucy concluded that the long thin tail which mother had
seen in the dim light belonged to a skunk which had stripped
her tail to make a nest for her kittens.
She'd either resented Tivxtie dashing oast her or mother
he et wash6h
shutting her out, for the coiner of the carpet sohighly
scented' that it stuck to people's feet. The comanertial deodoriz-
ers merely made the °deur hang more Heavily, and one couldn't
use coffee or tomato juice on the carpet!
During tihe cold weather the Firei;ch doors are closed and
:the sun room shut off. But there is a cold air register out there.
That air-cirouliating furnace art "The Hut" worked well! . It
sucked in the cold skunk -scented air from the sun room, and
sent it out hot and strong in the other rooms!
It wag rather distressing at Earn Callers a t"The• Hut"
were obviously in a hairry to leave. But eventually Luny grew
used to it. And in time it became just one of the clean smiells
of Spring.
