SHIELDS "Building Contractor" the night somehow, with those kids. They're a paw-full all right. I can plainly see I'll have to rule them with a iron snout. Must be cuz they were born in that aw- ful hopsital. My last lot were born at home and I never had no trouble with them--much. Least- wise it didn't seem like trouble then, but maybe I've forgotten it or part of it." I puled the string which hung beside my bunk and the little dog door swung open. Patsy scuttled through it, across the deck and down the stone steps. Patsy was a real early bird. She has always been the first one in the household to be put up and about. Even now that she is old and her lovely red coat has turned to a silvery grey, she is still the first one to be up to greet the sun as he starts on his daily rounds over the world. The puppies were in the shower bath. We had put them there the night before when we arrived. No place had been prepared and so the shower bath, seeming to be a likely place, had been honoured by Patsy and the seven rolly pollies. Taffee was highly amused. She had said, "Of all the plac- es to put new babies, I never heard of one like this! Wait un- til Blackie Davis and pig-snout Perkins hear of this. It's a good one--ho-ho--to be sure it is." And now, 'this morning, when I finally roused myself and strug- asleep in the big chesterfield chair in the corner by the cobble- stone fireplace. I didn't call her, I let her sleep peacefully on. She wasn't an early bird like her mother. In fact, she was quite content to let the jolly old sun boy get well started on his morn- ing climb before she stretched (her morning stretch. By the time I'd brought the day's water in from the pump and had the coffee made, Taffee was up and about. I was still not a hundred percent awake when she wandered out into the kitch- The Cookee Column gled forth, I found Taffee sound |. shadow-boy about name, "did you ever fly a kite when you were a boy?" his rocking chair by the window 'with his eyes R(® ment." And with a saucy tilt of her head, she pushed open the screen door and scurried in the direction of "The Pioneer", our next door cottage, murmuring "T must go hunt for Athol' I have never really been sure if Taffee was afraid of the pup- Dies or if she was just cautious. She used to walk slowly and care- fully down the hall to the wash room door and peek in at them through the crack in the door. She would stand like this for the longest time, hardly moving. Sometimes she would murmur worms or another time snakies or yet again, not for me, too wig- glesome. Sometimes, when Patsy was out, she would go right into the wash room and actually look over the footboard at the new: brothers and sisters. But, if one of them would waken and as much let out one little wee puppy vip, she'd be gone like the wind. Down the hall, through the kit- chen, out the screen door and to The Pioneer, saying, "I guess Tl be an Athol dog." The poor pups. Their big sister cared for them not all and their mother wasn't over fond of them either. Except the one Patsy had said was a "scrunty little thing." They both seemed to like her a bit. She was a beautiful colour and looked like a little blob of Fudge. She, I could see, would be a fav- orite. She was the smallest of them all, or better known as the Runt of the litter. Day by day the puppies grew, ate oftener and slept.less. Day by day Patsy spent less time with them and Taffee became more interested. Mr. Punch Never Flew A Kite Before BUT A KITE ONCE FLEW HIM BY MAX TRELL | Punch 2" "Exactly, my boy, exactly." *But how?" "It's a curious story. I don't expect you 'to believe it. I'm probably the only man in the world that was ever flown by a kite. But there's no use telling you about it. You will think T made it all up." Knarf, however, begged Mr. Punch to tell him how this ex- traordinary thing happened, and finally Mr. Punch consented to tell the story. "One day," he began, "my fath- er gave me a beautiful new kite. It was bright red, and it was just as tall as I was. It had a long tail made of pieces of different colored ribbons, and I had an enormous ball of string to fly it with, "Well, I was about to fly my kite for I had climbed up to the. top of the hill with it, when T happened to say (more to myself than to anyone else): How I wish I could change places with my. kite! What fun I should have fly- ing about in the air, almost as high as the clouds! My kite is only made of paper and sticks. I'm sure it can't have half the fun flying about that I could have!" "At that instant," said Mr. Punch, "I heard the kite say-- "Very well, Punch, you go up in the air instead of me; Ill fly you! And the next second an as- tounding thing happened. My arms were spread straight out from my sides, and I felt a great sheet of paper tied to my head, the tips of my hands and the ends of my feet] From the ends of my feet, too, a long tail of different colored ribbons hung down, and around my belt a string was knotted. "T hardly had a chance to cry out before T was suddenly tossed up into the air. The wind came along just then. Up into the sky I went . . up, up, up and up "Oh! Were you really a Kite, Mr. Punch!" Knarf exclaimed. "As real a kite as ever there was, my boy. Far below me I could see what looked like a tiny boy wearing a red suit of clothes. That was the kite which had changed into me. I was having my wish, you see. The kite was flying me instead of my flying the kite. T was so high up that the trees looked like bushes, and the bushes looked like clumps of grass, and the grass didn't look like anything except a green carpet that spread far and wide. ilver string. And right above my head, almost within reach, were the clouds. But," Mr. Punch added with a sigh, "it wasn't as much fun as I thought. For all at once the wind died down. For an instant I hung in the air. Then down I came--whoosh! right into a gooseberry bush. Well, I found myself changed back into'a boy again; and there, in the bush, was the broken kite. And that, my boy, is my story."
