By Harry J. Boyle

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

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. Patricia Ann had come
to stay at Lazy Meadows . . . and
Collie, who had been my patient list
ener all night, thumped his hearty ap
proval of the new member of the
household.
