PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry J. Boyle
It was one of those dark nights. By
rights you would call it a black night,
because it pressed in like enveloping
folds of darkest velvet. 1 was coming
up from the barn and the lantern sput-
tered and went out, There was no
kerosene in it. This had been caused
by the absence of my wife for several
days and the consequent lessening of
the daily habits of filling the lamps in
the morning.
There was no light in the kitchen,
but having traversed the laneway so
often, I struck out at a brisk pace in
what I presumed to be the right dir-
ection. I tripped over a stone and then
struck the post at the corner of the
garden patch. Ah well, this would give
me the proper sense of direction. I
followed the wire of the fence and
smacked my shin on the cultivator.
That was my fault. I shouldn't have
left it there in the first place.
I skirted the cultivator and went
back in the general direction of the
fence again. Is there anything as awk-
ward as to be reaching with your
hands for something and at the same
time, be trying.to guard your feet and
shins from coming in contact with
anything that might hurt. I stumbled
on and on and then realized that I
had taken a part of the fence down to
plow up the garden patch and hadn't
replaced it. I was floundering around
on the newly plowed earth, and be-
cause of the rain of that day, the mud
was clogging up until it seemed to
weigh tons.
Now, I was in a pretty pickle. It
seemed however that I could sense
the bulk of the house on the hill and
I changed directions. It was certainly
hard going over that field. Then
whammed into the woodpile and broke
the glass in the lantern and scraped
my, knee, I had lost all sense of dir:
ections. I leaned against the woodpile
and tried to reason out just where I
stood.
There was a faint point of light to
my 'right. Now, that would have to
be the Higgins kitchen light. That
would mean that by going along the
woodpile until I came to the end of
it I would find a gate into the back-
yard. That was helpful. I moved along
the length of the woodpile and stumb-
led over a leaky washtub that had
been thrown out behind the woodpile.
Now, why hadn't I dumped' it into the
old well or else have given it to the
junkman.
I was making real progress how-
ever, Here was the burdock patch and
I had burrs all over me but I was just
a step from the end of the pile. Hard
right now and here was the gate. Now
if I kept going straight I would make
the back kitchen door or at least the
woodshed door.
WHUNNGG! The clothesline rea-
ched out and hanged me on the Ad-
am's apple and I saw red and blue
and white stars Why hadn't I thought
of that, Then I reached up and used
the clothesline to direct me to the
door. Bruised and bloody and bowed
by circumstances I managed to light
the lamp in the kitchen. I resolved
never forget to fill the lantern again.
