Right now I am thoroughly asham ed of myself, for being such a selfish person at times. I was. laid up with a whinge of rheumatism in my leg last week, and reviling everybody be cause I couldn’t be out in the bush to help the hired man start to tap. Then, Joe Wiles who travels for one of the big city companies, came along and asked if lie could leave a friend of his with me during the afternoon. Being quite a gabber, I welcomed the opportunity and told Mrs. Phil to bring anothei* rocker out on the sun ny side of the old back wood-shed. But Joe hadn’t told me who my call er was to be. Along he came with a boy . . . just a sort of wizened-up little fellow, about the colour of ash es and with a pair of dark glasses on. Pathetic looking little codger that he was, he tapped along with a cane, shyly shoved that poor wizened hand that felt like loose skin over bones into my hand and said . . .'“They call me Ikey. I can't see.” Something seemed to ball up in my throat, and for a few minutes after Joe Ibft I couldn’t say very much. Then at last the little fellow said: “Is this a real honest to goodness farm . . . And went sort of breathless • when I answered. “Tell me about it, ;Mr. Phil.” j I tried to tell him . . . about the | way the land slopes down from the I house, into that ravine . . . and the J woodshed against which he was sit ting . . . and the barn and the stables . . . and then I saw Annabelle come out for a sip of water from the 1 trough . . . and Buttinsky was try- I ing out his bumpers on that new wire 1fence around the orchard. j He just sat there, drinking it all in. ; Sometimes the wistful little face (would light.up, almost as if lie were i in a, strange land of fairy tales. I ! wondered then how he pictured it all. I What he thought 1 looked like? If ! this world was a marvelous place to ; live in, when you couldn’t see it and J had to live in your imagination and i supply all the details yourself. « “R . . . uherr . . . ahrr.” Down on the strawstack, Ethiopia was lustily crowing and crooking his neck up into a bow, as he said in so many notes: “I’m master of this part of Lazy Meadows.” Gritnter, our dis contented Berkshire, went slithering on down into the mud-puddle caused by the leak in the water-tank. That was what I talked about . . not press ing him with details, but allowing him to supply all those himself. “Buchansuch”, our collie pup, came up, and brushed along the side of Ikey’s leg. He dropped his stick, and j those pitiful little hands went out to j reach for the pup. This was a new adventure for Suchansuch, and he cocked his head and wagged his tail and reached out to lick one of the hands with a tentative, exploring tongue. I may be an old fool, but I couldn’t keep the tears from rolling down my cheeks. Tabby, the .old Cheshire, was sleeping away peacefully on the old back-stoop and the fact his natural rival was gaining grace with our lit tle visitor, was enough to prod him into investigating. And: so the afternoon slipped by. Little Ikey reached an exploring hand into the warmth created by a settin’ hen on her nest of eggs. He felt the pucker of old Annabelle, the original old grey mare, as she flipped a lump of sugar from his hand with her lips. He had a cleany, shiny little pig in his arms, that was only two days old. He reached down and almost died from the thrill of feeding one of the new calves from a pail . , , and the calf decided that by sucking his finger would help. Ikey left me, Somehow, when he FOR MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN Exclusive Agents SHOE Greer Shoe Store left and shoved that little hand into mine, and said: "You know, you're a real friend” . . . and I • felt ashamed of myself for complaining of that rheumatism. Ikey sees the world in his own way, and yet if some of us could see it in the way he does, we wouldn't complain so much. And now before I leave, I want to thank all my friends who have been so kind in writing to me. Especially so, do I thank Mr. Charles Heale of New York City, who-made a bright day brighter with his letter.. Look For ONDI’S ETTER ARGA1NS OUR FIRST CAR BANANAS. Golden Yellow Fruit ...... 20c Doz.
