We’ll call him “Lanty” for short.” “Well, send Lanty to bed now chickens,” said Aunt Madge, “and come to bed yourselves before your water bottles get cold. “Could we name him then?” asked Jeannié eagerly, “I know, let’s call him “Jack-o-Laltern” ’cos he came on Hallowe’en.” He went out to the woodsth and came back in a minute with some- thing pit patting behind him. Grandad heard them coming up the lane and came down the steps of the old house to meet them. Mrs. Mur- phy was there too with some hot co- coa ready for them and she said there “A dog!" they whispered raptur- ously, “Oh, Grandad.” were hot bottles in their beds to warm their feet. Jeannie was whispering to grandad. ‘ ‘Surely you may.” he laughed. “vou The big golden collie walked straight to the twins and gravely shook hands with them. “Isn’t he a darling,” said Jeannie, “where did he come from?” “There was a family who moved away from the village last week and didn’t want to take the dog. You can see that he is used to children. I forgot to ask them his name so I’ve just been calling him Boy.” “I’ll bet Grandad made them for didn’t he Uncle John?” they asked “We couldn’t ask you when we were in the dining room, Auntie, ’cos he might hear and perhaps be sorry his face is black,” Jeannie said, and Aunt Madge explained about the black skinned people who live in Af- rica and that the negroes who live in this country are their children and grandchildren. \ It was late when they reached the little station and Uncle John was there with the car to meet them. The twins were a little disappointed lge- cause he hadn’t brought a horse and buggy instead but they enjoyed the fast drive through the frosty air. When they turned in at the big gate they saw something that made them laugh with delight. For on each gate post there was a big grinning Jack-o Lantern with a light inside. “Yes he did,” said Uncle John, “do you want me to lift them off the posts so you can take them to the house?” This was just what they wanted so they rode up the lane each holding a lighted pumpkin. ‘l' Aunt Madge took the twins back to the farm a few days before their mother and daddy left for England. ‘They all agreed‘ that the children ('wouldn’t feel the parting quite as ‘keenly if they didn’t actually see the Itrain that would take their parents lto Montreal where they would get on ithe big steamship to go across the locean. So, instead, it was mother and daddy who watched the twins climb on the train which would take them back to the country. l l They had a big treat on the trip as Aunt Madge took them into the din- ing car for dinnerâ€"dinner at night with the lights shining on silver and cut glass and a smiling black man to bring them their food. How they enjoyed‘ the simple meal Aunt Madge ordered for them and what a lot of questions they asked her about the man with the black face when they went to their places in the other car. Aunt Madge did not say anything, but she smiled because she had had a letter from Grandad too. They were filled with excitement because of a letter which Grandad had written to Jeannie a few days before and which warned them of a surprise he had in store for them. “I have a present for you and Jock he said in the letter, “I hope you will like it. I won't tell you anything about it except that it is yellow and it came on Hallowe’en.” “I think it is a yellow box to keep my tools in,” said Jock. “It must be a pumpkin lantern,” laughed Jeannie.

I’ve just returned it to Bil- ly; but if you are really keen on see- ing it I can~easily get it back again,” If a chimney catches fire throw common salt on the fire, not down the chimney. Ink spots on the fingers may be easily removed by rubbing with a lit- tle ammonia and then rinsing the hands thoroughly. “Oh, my dear, how exciting! What qre you going to wear?” A piece of blotting paw wax stain and rubbed with will soon remove the stain A few zinc clippings or a table- spoonful of saltpetre placed on the fire occasionally will keep the chimney free from soot. ‘ When washing a sweater coat sew a strip of white cotton down each side of the front. This will keep the two front edges from stretching. If you wish to remove the odor of onions from a pan in which they have been fried, pour a little vinegar into the pan and let it get hot. ay THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND BILL, ONT.

An exquisite pale green Luna moth fluttering on a window screen, trying to get in to the light. Cows, sleek and contented, wandering home from green pastures at sunset. And so on, ad infinitum. Whenever I see anything worth remembering I tuck it away in a pigeon hole in my mind for future reference. At present I am collecting some nice cold snow scenes for use in July. Imagination and dreams are not altogether a waste of time. If we can make ourselves forget the bad weather this way even for a little while it is surely a good thing to cultivate. A field of golden wheat, billowing in the warm wind, and Brown eyed Susans straggling along the fence. A single clump of White nicotiana sending incense to heaven in the moon light: Here one might kneel and wor- ship as at a shrine. The soft green of a field where the oats have sprung up overnight after a warm rain. . Bobâ€"o-linl t soaring and sprinkling their golden song‘ above a field 0” daisies. A curly-headed two-yearâ€"old asleep under a blossom- ing spirea bush, a great yellow cat asleep in his arms A long sandy shore where six children sit in the hot sunshine with their toes in the water. A cryste‘l spring that rushes down between high banks then throng? a swamp Where Violets hide mic ferns trail their slender fingers in the foam. My own lazy self lying on the tender green grass un- der an apple tree (Where at present there is a three foot drift of snow), while the children make dandelion chains and the birds and bees work busily in the bzossoms above A little lake that lies like a jewel in its setting of giant cedars; a crane stands on one leg in the warm shallows near the shore and king-fishers flash past to dive for their unwary prey. Exhibit A.â€"A long flower border where the sun has just called the first snowdrops and scillas into bloom. ' Exhibit B.â€"The children running across the lawn, their hands and skirts full of dandelions. Exhibit C.â€"The cherry tree in bridal array with a Baltimore oriole singing madly among the branches, his orange and black flashing vividly against the white blossoms. The cheering February sunshine revives a lot of mem- ories which can turn the year back to summer again. Away in a dusty corner of my brain I have stored a collecâ€" tion of pleasant pictures which I proceed to shine up and enâ€" joy for awhile. Of all the beautiful pictures That hang on memory’s wall, Are those of a by-gone summer That seem the best of all. There are wheat fields, ripe and golden, Where brown-eyed Susans grow, And apple trees, gnarled and olden, With dandelions thick below. Winter seems to be passing so quickly, the first part of February was so lovely that it seemed like a foretaste of spring and stirred up all kinds of memories of summer. After the worst of the winter is over it is always a long wait until the balmy days of spring really arrive and a few mild days make country people as restless as the wild ducks and geese which will soon be honking their way northward. We want the winter to go with a rush and let us get out on the land at our age-old task of seed /‘ planting.
