THE STRATFORD MIRROR Mirror Short Story lucky Lady By EVELYN SMITH T THE far end of the row of: pole beans, Davie North he on his heels, watching Mrs. iMeek's angular body inch backward 'along the row of carrots. Not until she reached the screen of corn would lit be safe to dash to the garage. Mrs. Meek straightened suddenly to ease her back and her eyes skew- ered Davie. "What you sittin' there for, boy?" Davie stared and blinked jsolemnly, his impatience urging her back to her task. -"I declare! Eight- year-olds are a queer lot.'"? Mrs; Meek assayed him grimly. 'But I *spect takin' a boy from the Home. for a spell's my Christian duty." Da- vie had seen her looking over the fence at Mr. Dyer's Victory garden and she was always cross after that: ---for Mr. Dyer's beans were longer and his corn taller than Mrs. Meek's. "Now if I could just afford a little more fertilizer," she grum- bled, "some of the quick-grow stuff they got down at Giffin's Hardware,: I might still beat him out of the prize--but three weeks till judgin' don't give a body much time." As she settled back to work Da- vie's breath exploded in'a sigh. In another minute it would be safe to approach the old_ garage. Lady might need water or some-| thing. For two precarious days, food had taken wing behind Mrs. Meek's uncompromising back, and Davie's 'Skinny little arms still felt the warm softness of Lady's plump body. "La- REEL] 4 "Land o' heaven!"' gentle friendly dog he'd found wan- dering the streets alone. The re- membering choked him--maybe this one he could keep! Davie shifted with eagerness. The movement brought Mrs. Meek's eyes back to him, narrowing suspiciously. "You 'ain't got another dog hid around some place--to ruin my garden?" "Another dog!"' she muttered. 'It's bad enough things won't grow with- out havin' a dog tear 'em up." The door of the abandoned garage sprang open suddenly. Mrs. Meek's mouth, too, opened, her words ris- ing to a wail. "Oh--"' » Davie's eyes filled his small face Meéek to Lady--ana tne tour mutes wriggling. beside her. "Puppies!"' he breathed in a tone associated with Sunday school and Christmas trees. "Land 0' app estos Mrs. Meek shrieked, "one ain't bad enough-- it's gotta be five this time! You get Tid of them, Davie North. last one of them--before tonight. Hear? Or back to the Home you go!'"' The noonday sun was blistering ithis, but no one, it seemed, wanted ;a dog with four puppies. His finger 'left the bell and one bare foot dug 'into the other as he blinked at the 'tall man who filled the doorway. A 'timid smile took root, blossomed into ila grin at the unexpected answer to ihis monotonous question. ' **We might even look for her own- er, huh, lad?" he asked after hear-: ing Davie's story. Davie's head was still bobbing happily as he sprinted away to com- 'plete the transfer, lest his new-found 'friend change his mind. Mrs. Meek's call to supper brought ithe boy to the fence, a small ball lof fur cupped in his hands. "What 'you doin' over there?" she demand- 'ed, "annoyin' the neighbors?"' "It's all right Mrs. Meek. Davie. just brought me a dog.'"' Mr. Dyer 'let the screen do¢ér slam behind him. **You're a fool, Bill Dyer--or don't 'you know what a dog can do to a garden?" ' €Plenty!'? he chuckled. "Thanks to Davie here, I can buy more ferti- lizer for mine." At the word "fertilizer" her scrawny eyebrows met over slitted eyes. "Don't you be pullin' my leg, Bill Dyer!" "It's the truth."' His laughter kin- dled a fire in Davie's thin chest, warming him. "We went looking for Lady's owner this afternoon, Da- vie and I. Seems she got out of the baggage room down at the depot." "And they gave me a puppy!"' Da- vie repeated pointedly. "The man's coming for Lady temorrow--with ten dollars reward."' Mrs. Meek didn't say anything, but when she went inside she slammed the door with an awful bang. Prevent Clouding _ A little glycerin rubbed over fresh- ly cleaned windows or mirrors will iprevent them from clouding over 'in damp or foggy weather. This may also be used for eye glasses, when 'the wearer is forced-to stand over 'steaming hot water.

Known as the Gemini, it is a twin- motored machine designed for pri- vate owners and as an air taxi or ambulance. It has ample room for speed is one hundred and fifty miles per hour. The manufacturers claim that the Gemini is a good jump ahead of! contemporary light aircraft, and London press correspondents who were present at a recent demonstra- tion of the plane seem to agree with | them. Ease of handling and remarkable freedom from noise and vibration | | are two qualities about which they are very enthusiastic. The outstanding feature of this twin-engined machine is, however, its wonderful one-engine perform- ance. In the demonstration the pilot, flying one engine, is able to make steep turns and climbs with the ma- chine under perfect control. It is this feature in particular which is expected to make Gemini one of the most popular machines for the pri- vate owner, above all in the more four people and their luggage.
