I had signed up with the Army Service Corps and had six days to settle my affairs before reporting for duty. I had been to the Quarter Mas- ter's Stores and was issued with a great dunnage bag full of things and stuff, all marked 'LARGE'. Now we were going back to Grammond House so I could try them on and see if any of these large size garments would fit. "Who will feed Harold the Toad?' Fudgee asked again. No one had answered her question before so she crawled over into the front seat and continued, "And who will protect Marie the Toadess? Some one must keep Do. cats out of the gar- den, Who will do that if we all join the army?" Poor Fudgee looked so worried. She was all upset over the fact that we must leave Grammond House. "1 suppose we'll have to sleep over a Tent!" Pokee added. "How on earth can Joe and Drib- bi and three dogs sleep over a tent?" CONTRACTING Fixtures, Ranges, Tanks 37 STEWART ST. W.

There is a hole in the front with a flap on it and you go inside it to sleep." Fudgee explained as she stood up, the better to see a flock of sheep by the roadside. "Well, under or over 1 don't like it! I know I won't like it- Who wants to sleep with a flap over them? Maybe you do, but not me, my friend. I'm quite happy to sleep in my old clothes basket with a little grey blanket over me!" "Oh snail's kidneys on toast, stop bickerbackering you two!"

"No, we musn't trouble trou- ble unless trouble bites us first and then bite it good", laughed Pokee as the car door opened and she jumped out and ran to the back verandah.

The next morning, bright and early, we left for Victoria Har- bour. We only had six days more of our freedom, so we were going to make the most of it. We knew of no place that we'd rather spend our last free days than at Owlscroft on Georgian Shore. Fudgee had stopped worrying about who would feed Harold the Toad. We assured her he and Marie would be OX. and would fare just as well while we were away as they would if we were home. Pokee had curled up on the back seat and was sleeping peacefully. Old Patsy, as usual, was standing on the back seat with her front paws on one ,of the arm rests, Wwor- ying about how she'd pay her in- come tax. 'The next few days were spent in the sunshine on the sandy shore of Georgian Bay. We just stayed in the sunshine all day a minute. We even Dbegrudged the time to go up to the village to get the mail or supplies. If we were going to be in the army for good knows how long, we FLOOR SERVICE W. H.

But tonight Knarf and Hanid were asleep in a corner of) the room next to Teddy the Stuffed Bear, and Mary-Jane the || rag- doll, and General Tin the tin sol- dier ,and Mr. Punch the puppet, and Whoa the Hobby Horse. They were all crowded together in the corner and really fast asleep. Then suddenly Knarf heard the sound of music and opened his eyes. It was a faint sound, but he heard it. The next moment all of them were awake. They all listened. heard the music. "It's coming said Hanid, From the Attlc Now late at night, when every- one is asleep, it isn't unusual to hear music coming from the attic. So they all tip-toed up the dark stairs, all except Whoa the Hobby Horse who rocked himself up. The sound of the music grew louder Finally they reached the attic. And then they saw a strange sight. Sitting on the attic floor with his back against an old trunk was Christopher Cricket, playing his fiddle very clearly but also very softly. Through the little dusty window close by him with its glass, came a . dozen strange shapes. They floated in with the music. For a moment neither Knarf nor Hanid nor the others could make out what the shapes were. But all at once they recognized them! They were the shadows-of-the- things outside in the fields and meadows and gardens and in the barns and tool-sheds. They were all coming to dance to Christopher Cricket's music. Now Knarf and Hanid and the others recognized them plainly. There were the daisies and but- tercups and clover - blossoms. There was the scarecrow who stood in the cornfield. There was the old femcepole, With wires sticking out like thin arms and iegs. There was the shovel with the long handle. There were the hoe and the rake. As Knarf and Hanid and the others watched, these shadows-of- They all from the attic," warm water for about her hun- dreth little dip. "It's so refresh- ing -- isn't it?" "Your're nuts, Popo!" Fudgee called to her, as she sat drying herself on a large flat stone. "You're not shopping, youre bath- ing--you goon--you may be my dear sister from far, far away, but you certainly are simple. Sometimes I wish you'd stayed far, far away." "Well shopping or bathing I care mnot--I'm happy anyway. You're nuts yourself," Pope snap- ped back at Fudgee.
