Hurrying into my kitchen I preâ€" pared a lettuceâ€"cheese sandwich, and when I tossed it t6 "Sh6* Nuff" he ate it daintily, while I watched. Then with a look of friendly appreciation he moved slowly away to a wellâ€"worn hole under the goose house.

J boldâ€" ly set forth into the goose house to find the strawâ€"covered nest. There he sat, this small gray ‘possum, with his oldâ€"man counâ€" tenance and beady black eyes. His long fur snugly cloaked him. His lack of fear gave me courage; so I said : about the barnyard. They travel extensively from one squatting place to another, their flat webbed feet making spider web patterns in the blueâ€"white snow. This morning, however, they did not leave their pen in the usual fashion, but stretched their long necks and screeched the announceâ€" ment of their liberty to the whole: township. In the late afternoon when I again made my tour of feeding and watering the barnyard folk, I noted the geese were still in their pen, restlessly intent on the gooseâ€" house door. When I did my morning chores I had opened the gooseâ€"yard gate It was warmer in the goose shelâ€" ter, or at least there was protecâ€" tion there from the bitter wind.

In order to insure my rest shall I fit Prince to ear muffs or shall I inquire into the construction of a soundâ€"proof dog kennel? Yes, you guessed it. Thunderâ€" heads had burst again, and the chaise lt:figxg, propelled by the violent derneith gyrations of ‘my pal, Prince, Had pitched, tossed and billowed until it met with the inevitable immovable object at the opposite side of the porch. I soothed my quivering pet, for after all, he is a very close pal. Then, when the storm had subâ€" sided, I prepared to spend the reâ€" mainder of the night on a softer place â€" the chaise longue. I wheeled it out into the middle of the porch for better ventilation, and was soon fast asleep. ‘ Almost immediately, it seemed, I was again in trouble. This time I was in a large ship, which I was striving, singlehanded, to protect from a pirate craft. Pirates with fierce mustaches and gleaming teeth presented a fearsome sight as they charged and bucked my frail bark with their ironbound vessel, sending me this way and that. Presently my ship crashed on an immense icéberg. That ~was when the chaise longue hit the radiator. ‘ There was a war on. Aloft in a plane, I was surrounded by enemy craft and bursting bombs. There was a terrific dog fight. The wings were shot from my plane. Then it parted with its tail. Bumping about violently, I struggled to keep my plane in the air. Blinking back to consciousness I sat up, dripping with perspiraâ€" tion. The storm was in full sway, and Prince, in a dither underneath the swing, was doing his best to snuggle close to me.
