It was Mr. Stofila. He keeps a cow on his place at Glenview Terrace. He and his two youngsters had brought us a nice trailer load of cow manure, and would we please tell him where to put it. About that time of day, and especially on a hectic Thurs- day afternoon we could have—but we didn’t. ‘We'd ordered it, even if we had specifically said, “ Be sure not to bring it on Thursday.” We buttoned our corduroy jacket and followed Mr. Stofila over to Franklin street where his Mode] A Ford and trailer were parked be- side the high school. It was a mice load. Packed down smooth so that not a crum would fall off. [We discussed possible routes to the mulch pile back of the barn. If he drove through the yard in the orchard, he’d rut up the turf that Nordi Berti had just rolled down. If he drove in from Lehman Ave- nue over the tree lawn, he'd prob- ably knock down one of our row But even if he got through the cherry trees, * he'd have to drive through the garden and over Myra’s young strawberry plants covered with straw. ‘We knew there was no use considering that route. We hem- med and hawed. There was a way out. Mr. Stofila could unload the stuff along side the barn, and we could cart it over to the mulch pile sometime when we weren't busy. It looked like a good decision even if it did seem a little hard on ws. There was a commotion on the back porch. “Don’t put it there. It'll be there all summer like those two piles of top soil along side the front yard.” We were licked. We hadn't reckoned on the feminine influence. Mr. 'Stofila would have to drive through the marrow place by my rose bed. He did, and he broke off two. We wished we'd told Mr. Stofila where he could put that stuff on a Thursday afternoon when we hadn't. A White Dog A little white dog, curious to see what we were doing, sniffed at our r legs Easter morning as we brushed the dirt out of the Hudson | in front of our barn. He was a nice little fellow. We wondered what kind of master he might have. The dog has been roaming Lehman Ave- nue too frequently for it to be an accident. Somebody neither cares for his pet nor the welfare of his neighbors or his neighbor's chil- dren. We had a notion to lock the pup in the boxstall where he'd be safe from the law and an indifferent master; but we thought better of it. Three weeks ago two young- sters knocked at our door one eve- ning. They had a bull terrier on leash. “Mr. Risley,” they said breathlessly, “do you know whose dog this is? We found him down- town, and we don’t want him shot.” We didn’t know. He was a friendly fellow with a 1946 license on his collar. We took him in, just as soon as Myra could put Buck in the closet so he wouldn't tear the stranger to pieces. The terrier had the run- of the house, but liked best to follow us from room to room or lie at our feet as we read the evening paper. Buck didn’t like the closet so he howled. We tried it the other way around. Locked the stranger in the closet and let Buck have the run of the house. The stranger howled. We couldn't live that way long; so we went to bed early—the. stranger with me in my bedroom and Buck with Myra in hers. Everybody was satisfied and everything was quiet. Next morning we called the County Treasurer's office, and found that Boots—ithat was his name— belonged to a family on Harris Hill Road, Trucksville. But we don’t want any more stray pups over- night, That's why we didn't put the little white fellow in the box stall. Increase Stripes, our brood cat, can once moré crawl through the little hole in the hothouse door; and we now have snoozing in a pasteboard box in the back of our cellar three of those “lovely little kittens, guaran- teed to be insatiable ratters.” The morning they were born, Mrs. Paul Nulton called to say if we ever had any more of those fine Barnyard kittens she wanted them. Just as soon as they're weaned we'll be driving out with all three. We've wanted to get out there all spring. Nowhere is the myrtle lovelier than in the cemetery on the hilltop back of Beaumont.
