BY DOROTHY BARKER
The Tale of a Dog
She wasn't my friend but
the guest of a neighbour and
naturally two strange women,
w'ho had .only known each other
for ashort time, would choose
such harmless subjects as travel
and careers f or conversation.
When I mentioned all the bread
I had been able to butter be-
cause of any love of trains she
slapped her trim thigh, threw
her head back in a glorious
hearty laugh and said, "I have
a lovely story in which a train
plays a major role. Would you
like to hear it?" Well Hatch,
here's to more .butter for my
bread.
Her story went something
like this — "Our family has
owned pan island on a huge
lake ever since I was a kid.
Now that we are all grown up
we split our vacation time so
that each member gets two
weeks occupancy, Being the
sinrgl•e member, I rate the last
choice, which is the final two
weeks in August.
"I have a Genevan Shepherd
palled Sis'terr, or Sis for short.
This was to be her first visit
to the island, in fact her first
txlip anywhere. I didn't know
she would have to be crated ' or
muzzled when I checked her
at Union Station. The ON
baggage attendant took one
look at my pony -sized pooch,
who ,beams her teeth in a smile
when she is pleased, and said
'Nix', I'd have to have a muzzle
for her.
"It was just 20 minutes to
train time and stores that sell
dog muzzles were miles from
the station. I finally persuaded
him to keep Sis while I grab-
bed a taxi and headed for a
pet shop.
"1 ,got back to the statioh
just in time to hear the gates
dlanig shut on the track where
my rain was pulling out. The
next train did not leave for
hours.
"Sis sand I spent the morning
in thenearby exhibition gr-
ounds. The journey north was
plea -Sant and uneventful. When
the train arrived at our stun,
dusk was jut beginning to
Ball. I retrieved Sis from the
baggage ear, and tot,k the us-
ual taxi to dtiive the six Miles
to the .lake.
"When We arrived at the
lake a new' teeivager was at
the helm Of the water taxi
He said he didn't know our
island, but 1 assured him, that
even in pitch dark I would
recoghize it, Twenty Minutes
later he tossed my bag on the
dodo, boasted a reluctant Sis
after it,. +ancb Was ,gone. Then
a ,herr'ible Mealiiatioh crept
over me+. This wasn't our
land, but an island a anile frail

trying to escape from, 1VIuz-
