We were boys then, and. his family Jived over on the Twelfth Concession of the next Township. At frequent intervals during the winter, our« family and his would visit back and forth. Generally we would leave one of the older boys to do the chor­ es, and hitch up- on Saturday after­ noon and land over there for a late supper, I always enjoyed these trips. There was a feeling of expectancy that seemed to hover inside you, as the horses jing-jonged along, and the sleigh took funny little dips and dives over rough spots in the road. We used to have the wagon box on the sleigh, with planks stretched across for seats and our feet buried down in the hay in the box. Wrapped up in sacks at our feet were hot bricks that somehow seemed to hold their heat, until we arrived at Uncle Timothy’s. When it was extra cold, we used, to burrow down in the hay, and cov­ er ourselves over with the robes and blankets, while Paw sat up in front .and drove. It was always great fun to see how long you could keep your eyes closed and then look up over the edge of the box to see how much far­ ther along the road we were. Toby and Sandy, the two collies, used to romp along beside the team . . . making frequent sniffing excurs­ ions along the tracks in the snow, and then dash madly .ahead of the team,, until they had gained enough of a lead to sit down and wait for us. The oc­ casional cotton-tail or jack-rabbit would make a dash across the fields in front of us, and the flogs would put on an exhibition for our benefit. But somehow, even the dogs sensed the spirit of the occasion and I don’t think they ever really tried to catch the rabbits. Now and again, an en­ quiring dog would come dashing out for a bout with ours. Mother would -. always scream and tell Paw to make those dogs quit fighting, and he’would make a half-hearted attempt to call them . . . but down in his heart he was just the same as we children. He wahted Sandy and Toby to lick the tar out of all the dogs on the road. There was a long stretch on the Murray sideroad j-ust before you turn­ on to the Twelfth Concession, with cedar trees growing up along the side of the road. They were general­ ly covered with snow, and it was like driving through two walls of white. The horses would always slow down there, and even us children would stop talking. There wasn’t a sound in there and the sleigh bells pealed slow and deliberate like . . . and to my mind it was the grandest part of the trip. But then as wc turned on to the Twelfth, Paw would look up at the dark that seemed to be rolling in on. us, and give the horses a little slap- with the end of the lines. We were nearly there . . . and that was the time when we would start to think about eating. The more a person thought abo-ut that table, the hungrier he would get. Sometimes they would have just butchered and there would be a big roast ham and spare ribs . . or maybe Aunt Nellie had just killed a couple of big plump roosters . . . and the thought of it made a person’s mouth water. Lights would be twinkling in the houses along the way . . and Uncle Timothy would meet us with a lan­ tern . . .' and while the men put the horses away we would walk into the open doorway that was filled with lamp-light . . . into the warmth and the smell of food, and I think that’s what my cousin was thinking about when he wrote to me. Says Varicose Veins Can Be Reduced At Home—Small Cos!
