Boyle “PATRICIA ANN” I to our longer I bolt- Collie Everywhere I went in the house seemed to be getting* in the road. If I sat down in the rocker somebody tripped over my feet on the way out to the kitchen door. When I stirred the fire, someone vyould inform me that the kitchen was plenty warm en­ ough. Nobody was saying anything, and the screeching and groaning of the boards in the kitchen floor as I walked on them seemed deafening. I lit my pipe and horrified glances from two of the spinsters made me cm- barassedly shove it into my overalls pocket. The smell of,ether drowned out the, homey odor of food and cooking that seems to natural kitchen. As last I could stand it no and grabbing my old felt hat ed out through the back door, roused from his bed in th'e back wood­ shed and after thumping a welcome with his tail on the floor, joined me. As I sat down on the back stoop he rubbed against my leg and squatted on his haunches beside me. In the flare of the match as I lit my pipe, I seem­ ed to see the question in his eyes, “What’s Doctor Jim doing here?” So we talked on the back stoop. There was just the dog and I, so I did the talking and he thumped his tail in approval and encouragement. In looking back I wonder what I talk­ ed about, but it seemed that there was so much to talk about and the dog was the only one who would lis­ ten. We went back to those first days at Lazy Meadows, and of how Mrs. Phil had come to live there, It seemed to be so easy looking back and remembering the dark days and the happy days , .. the time when Mrs. Phil’S first batch of bread turn­ ed out so marvellous and of how I boosted to everyone in the Township about it, arid then the next batch did not rise at alt but stayed in a doughy friassc Collie heard all ‘about the slick PURIT9 FLOUR Best for all your Baking rubber-tired buggy and Annabelle, then in her hey-day, trotting along on the'way to church, with disdain for the automobiles that asthmatical­ ly coughed past us. He was quite sympathetic as I described that first time Mrs. Phil went to see her mother after she was married, and of how I would visit the nieghbours in the ev­ ening and stay as long as possible to get away from the empty house. * It was a chilly ,October evening but we didn’t mind the cold. There seem­ ed to be a warmth in remembering the many little incidents that weld together in a happy married life. We reviewed the slight differences that were brushed away and forgotten and served to tighten the marriage bond. Collie shook his head as I remember­ ed the time Bess and Tom, the pride of Lazy Meadows and the finest team* in the County, took sick and died, atld-Cj how Mrs. Phil and I both un­ ashamedly cried.. , Light had started to trickle into the eastern sky and the young roosters down in the chicken house were vie- ing with each other in the listiness of their crowing, as we finished our rambling retrospect. There was stir in the kitchen, and as I went in Collie dodged in past me. <•> Doctor Jim was rolling down his shirt sleeves as he came out of the bedroom that opens off the kitchen, and the nurse followed him with a bundle wrapped in a pink blanket. The bundle was crying and Doctor Jim was smiling as he said, “There’s a nice, big baby girl for you.” And then the nurse opened the blanket up and I peered down at a little, red face that seemed like the most beautiful countenance I had ever gazed, upon.
