There cer- tainly ought to be some use for i "There is a use for it" said Blackie. "What use?" asked Willy eag- erly. Smooth Enough "The children use it for sliding on when it's smooth enough. And for skating on when it's on the pond. They also use it for throw- ing ashes on when it's on the path," Blackie said. This didn't seem to satisfy Wil- ly at all. "Those aren't very use- ful ones," he said. At that moment Glive the Snail came sliding up. "Nice icy day iswt it?" he greeted Willy and Blackie. "It sure is," agreed Willy. "But what's the good of all this ice if you can't use it for something useful 2" "Certainly you can use it for something useful" said Glive. "Don't you know that iceboxes are filled with ice?" BOOK TWO Patsy's Kid Fudgee By HERBERT C. MERRY (0) 3 I think the puppies will like- ly arrive ahead of time" the vet said to me as she stroked Patsy's silky head and fondly pulled her long soft ears, very, very gently. They might come to-day or maybe it will be to-morrow, but certain- ly not later than to-morrow." He assured me that Patsy was perfectly all right and other than the fact that the heat was both- ering her a great deal, she was not suffering any. He advised me to take her home, keep her quiet and give her a dose of mineral oil. T took his advice and carried out his orders. When Patsy's first litter of puppies came, they were born at home in the nursery I made for her in the big old garage at Crammond House. As yowll re- member reading in the last bool, 1 was there to take care of them. | This time T was not going to be able to look after them as I had done before, so Patsy would have to go to the hospital: Now, dog hospitals are fine places for sick dogs, The Oakville-Trafalgar Hospital js a fine place for sick people. But Patsy had never been left alone and away from home. I knew they would be good to her there. She had been before, but just for a few hours at a time. We always brought her home at bring it to them." "Bring what? To whom?" For tha Icebox "The ice, Willy; the ice for the icebox. For Knarf and Hanid's icebox in their kitchen." That seemed the strangest thing of all: to keep the ice in a box in the kitchen. But Willy de- cided there was nothing else to do but to bring the ice to Knarf and Hanid. So he tried lifting the ice off the top of the pond, but, that being too heavy, he finally settled on a small icicle. Blackie helped to lift it on Willy's should- er and they both started off for Knarf and Hanid's house, They met Knarf and Hanid at the kitchen door. "We've brought "Oh, are they?" said Willy. "Oh yes, Of course. I almost for- got." Willy was just pretending he had forgotten. He had never heard of an icebox before. "Iceboxes always need ice" said Glive as he started gliding off again. "The more they're full of ice, the colder they Keep. Put all the ice you can in Knarf and Hanid's icebox. That's useful." As soon as Glive was gone, Willy waited for Blackie to say something. He particularly hoped Blackie would say something that would give some idea of what iceboxes looked liked and espec- cially why Knarf and Hanid had But all Blackie would say one. was: "That's a wonderful idea, isn't it?" "Yes, yes, wonderful idea,' re- peated Willy "Just the thing for all this ice for your icebox," sald Willy. "Why, Willy, how wonderful!" exclaimed Hanid. "But we don't really need any. It's an icebox that makes its own ice." Willy was very disappointed. "Could I just see it?" he sald. So Knarf and Hanid let him and Blackie inside to look at the ice- box. "It's not full of ice at all. It is full of food!" he said in sur- prise, It took quite a while for Knarf and Hanid to explain that an icebox was a cupboard--a sort of big iron box-- where food was kept cold by means of ice. Willy ended up by being so pleased that he stopped wondering what useful use all the ice outside could be put to. "Why," he said happily at last; "everything out- side is like one great big icebox. The Cookee Colunm R(®) night and she slept in her own old basket with the jingle jangles on it. How was I going to break the news to her that she must stay at the hospital, away from home, for several days?' "Patsy, my old friend," I said, "I've thought it over very care- fully and I feel I must take you to the hospital right now." "Oh canaries toe-nails on toast you know I don't cotton to hos: pitals," she said as she looked at me mournfully. "Don't mind going in just to visit Miss Wilson--just for a minute, or maybe two, but I feel sick now so I don't want to go to a hospital. No one would want to go to a hospital when they feel sick. There's times for disiting and times for not and if you ask me, you probably won't, but if you did ask me, I'd say this is the time for not. So let's just forget about it and Tl go and see if I can find a nice cool spot in the Myrtle Garden down by John Hannah's fence. She ambled off, slowly. her tail was drooping, the silky feathers on the end of it hanging very still, not even a wag of the tail as she went. Head too was low, the floppy ears nearly touch- ed the grass as she went. Before ver; she turned the corner of the house, she stopped and looked back. She just stood for a minute and looked at me. I pretended I was very busy raking a certain part of the lawn where the grass had been left from the last cut- ting. "If the truth were known," she said, "which it ain't hardly ever seldom never ever known, I'd just as soon you go to the hospital and just leave me here alone" Then she turned and mumbled "T don't do nothing and no one says." Away she went around the corn~ er and I was left to decide what I was going to do and when I would do it. That night I took my poor lit- tle friend to Toronto to Dr. Se- cord's hospital for dogs and cats and other little animals. Miss Wilson rceived Patsy and found her a pen where we made her as comfortable as we could. I took her own little hand-woven mat in with her, so that she'd feel as if she had some of her personal be- longings with her. "Now Pats," TI said, as I left her "I'm going to leave you here "or a while." "I know," she sald. "T know, vowre leaving me. T felt it in my bones. "You're going home, and Tm to be left here--deserted-- deserted, that's what I am deserted!" «But Tl come for you as soon < your puppies are able to leave, hd here's a surprise for you, we'll go to Victoria Harbour and wall stay at Owlscroft for weeks: ind weeks.
