BURBIDGE 136 Robinson St. Telephone 521M or 1423W il TAFFEE HEARS THE NEWS It was about ten o'clock in the morning when the tinkle of the telephone brought me in from the garden. It was a message of good news. Patsy's puppies had arrived. There had been eight, but one little fellow had died. Patsy and her seven puppies were all doing well. I felt so relieved when I re- turned to the garden to finish the job I was doing. I just got to the back verandah, when up the path scuttled Taffee. She was a wild helter skelter creature and no more like her mother Patsy, than day is to night. blonde ears were ready to take off. She was car- rying the rusty, bent frame of an old umbrella. It stuck out a foot or more each side of her, holding her ears in this odd position, "Well, my scavenger friend," I said, trying to look very sternly at her. "And where might you have found that choice piece of trash?" She got to the corner of the house, stopped and dropped her prize at her feet. "Ho-Ho to be sure," she said very musically. "It did belong to the Tilleys, but they had no fur- ther use for it and they placed it in the garbage can--I - found it there and adopted it." I didn't try to take it from her. I knew she'd soon forget it and I could find it later and put it in our garbage tin at night. "I want to talk to you!" I said to her as she started off again. = Home Office 29 Yel Ave. Oakville i Phone 390 NURSERIES 1 rafalgar Farms Office : . Bhono 1344 ROBT.

They will only be around for a while, and Patsy will need you to help her with them, when she does get home." "That makes me laugh," she giggled. "In fact, I am laughing most heartily. So I am to be nursemaid am I? Well, skita- pooky, dismiss the idea at once, for a nursemaid I am not cut out to be." She then picked up her rusty treasure and disappeared down the garden path, giggling as she went and mumbling--'nursemaid to be sure--ho-ho and two ha- she'd leave her lovely bit of trash. First she tried to shove it down the hole under the tool shed. She couldn't make it go in. It was too wide. She crawled down the hole, turned around, put her head out, and tried to pull it in. She still couldn't do it. It was too wide. Next she tried the garage, but it wouldn't go between the little furnace and the wall. Finally, she found what she thought was a wonderful place. She shoved it in- side the old lawn roller, which was sitting in a cool shady spot, way down at the farthest end of the garden. She apparently thought that was a nice safe place. Then she scurried to the fence, through the hole into the fence, through the hole, into Hannah's garden, to keep her date with Teddy. Nine chances out of ten, she would forget where she put the old umbrella, but it really didn't matter, because it wouldn't be there when she came back. Un- less she buried these treasures underground, I found them and put them in our garage tin al- most as soon as she collected them from the neighbours You gossip. General Tin's Trip Instead of answering the Gen- eral reached up and picked sever- al handfuls of the seeds. Then he took a little net out of his pock- et, tied the net to a long branch, put the seeds in the net, and put the net in the water. "Quimps," he said, lowering his voice to a whisper, "live in this pond. When they see the seeds they'll jump right into the net." "Here comes a quimp now," warned the General. "Ah, a fine big one." Knarf and Hanid peered cur- iously at the quimp. It was in- deed strange. It looked at first like a frog, or more correctly, like two frogs. For it had two heads, four eyes, eight legs and made ten or twelve different kinds of sounds as it came closer to the net. Finally it rested one of its heads on the rim of the net and gazed down at the seeds, while with the other head it looked at General Tin, Knarf and Hanid. "Who are you?" it said. "Nobody," replied the General. "H'mmm. And who are these other two?" "They're nobodies. Have ripe sunflower seeds, my some dear Sunflower seeds made good bait, the General said. to one of the two heads, Hanid noticed with astonishment that the second head had dipped down into the net and was busy eating the seeds as fast as it could. She cried to General Tin to look. General Tin yanked up the net so hard he fell over backwards into a pile of daisies and several thistles.. Knarf hastened to help the General back on his feet. Hanid ran for the net and seized the frog-like animal caught in it. "H'mmph," said General Tin when he looked at it; "it's only. half a quimp." But all the way home Hanid kept saying: 'I think a quimp is nothing but two frogs and Pm sure it's nothing but two old frogs!" MARCY quimpie. They're delicious."
