It happened to me one night a few weeks ago when 1 was typing. My concentration was invaded by the creepy sensation of eyes boring into the back of lily head, The nape of my reek prickled; 1? awan:ted to tom around, I chided myself!. "I$ your imagination dummy. Yeteve been watching iota rognY police' shows on television," The feeling persisted and 1 grate in. glancing over my shoulder to meet 4$ pair of beady eyes. His nose was ,twitching: This. front paws were hooked over the .edge' of the top of the door .frame, his tail w.as. stretched up the wall, in the corner. Having; a mouse scurry away from me acrossthe floor is one thing, folks. but having him Stare .down at me from above a door is something else. We stared .at each other for what seemed like hours.QThen 1 reached for the phone. "Hi: ya, Dad! How are ya doin? Sleeping. htih. I'm sorra*, 1 just didn't realize what time it was, No, nothing's, wrong. .I just wondered how you and Mon: were:. By the way, if .either of,.ou chine into town tomorrow , would you: bring .atpouse trap with you? Yea, 1 got a mouse m the. house. Well, you knots' the ledge over the ,door between the kitchen & the bathroom?` He's sitting up there, watching me and listening 1 suppose. What would you suggest I do with him? 1 don't want a pet, Dad. He doesn't look like the scary type to me. 1 was just kidding, As soon as:l get off the phone, I'm gonna get ,the broom and chase hint out of there, , If he gets excited, he wouldn't lose his balance and fall on .me, would he? Just kidding again, Dad, No. 1 don't want you to come tn. Of course not; I'm not afraid of a little thing like a mouse. I'll handle it. 1 just thought I'd phone to ask you about the trap before .1. forget. 1' l let you go oa*, :bed now..Sorry I bothered you. Yea, you sleep tight, too. I gave the intruder one last long steely ;glare, which he returned, "Okay, buddy., —No, more fooling around," 1 warned. "Yote, just wait til 1 get my 'brOn tt,., Then ,l remembered the broom was in the storeroom, which wason the other side of the bathroom, which meant I.had to pass, .u.nder the =use's perch to reach the. broom - a. minor complication. 1 stalled, -for ai moment. Then I gathered all city courage, took a deep breath and started a quick dash through the doorway. In mid -Stride, I stopped. "The broom"s no good," I thought to. myself: "The fireplace poker in the living . teem would be better, and it's inthe other direction.'" stalked into the living room, grabbed the poker and returned with new confi- dence in my stride. He was Pone. "I knew it!" I exclaimed. "'As soon as you found out I meant business, you, turned tail and ran. Where.d ya go, you little coward?" 1 stomped around the apartment jabbing the poker into corners and banging the walls. floors and rads. 1 knew I was probably; waking the neighbours and risking eviction, but 1 had to prove my `•,superiority once and for all to that furry litt.Ie intruder. Half an hour later I was sati§fied, but 1. still looked up when 1 walked • through doorways, even though I knew he was long gone. "He's probably cowering in the walls somewhere or outside running back to the field where he belongs."" I told myself stnugly . -I scared:' him good, ;and he deserved it. 111 bet he never comes back here!" I crawled into bed; switched off the light, and just before drifting off' to sleep, reached out to touch the poker propped beside the bed NK RATE FINANCING an all models -new and used Come to:.Brussels Motors See Our Selection '79 Pontiac Parisienne with air '78 Chevelle 4 dr.
