especially for his com fort by his dad mom was looking down at the foot of the steps where nixey the dog stretched in the sun and jim could see that worry or something was clouding her pleasant face he stirred and his mother turned to face him jimjimny dear- she blinked her kind grey eyes jimmy are you happy really happy i mean he grinned at her happy why of course i am mom he went over and gave her a hug then stooped down to towsle the dogs ears the old dbg hardly opened his eyes and jim went back and dropped heavily into the arm chair presently a soft glow began to warm him he was recalling his boyhood and he thought of the time nixey had followed him into fowl ers funeral parlor where the high school band practiced on sunday afternoons how the dog managed to sleep through al the footings and squeakings and blarings of the- am bitious and youthful musicians he would never know but nixey had and the time when instead of going into the big hall at the ma sonic temple where the high school was giving a reception and dance for a visiting basketball team some of the gang had slipped off into one of the smaller lodge rooms for a secret game of craps and prim the old time was back miss halsey the english teacher had barged in on them the rest of the gang had beat it safely before the teacher had had a chance to recognize them individually but jim knew it was all off with him when as he ran he heard her say i didnt recognize any of them but heres old nixey james vardens dog asleep in this corner so at least we know james was one of them mom was still there fn the swing with her knitting and between every few knits and purls her eyes would stray toward jim suddenly she said say jimmy your gun is out in the garage why dont you go hunting sometime it would do you good im didnt feel that he particularly j wanted to go hunting he just didnt seem to want to do much of anything it seemed but mom was trying so hard to be helpful he didnt have the heart to say no ok mom he got up and saun tered around toward the garage come along nix the old dog just rolled his eyes under drooping lids and went back to sleep the shotgun rested on some pegs on the back wall of the garage he lifted it off broke it down and squinted through the dusty bpre rummaging around through a drawer he found his ramrod and ran a rag down the barrel he took his hunting jacket from a hook and dusted the cobwebs off it in one of the cavernous pockets he found several shells he slipped the coat over his shoulders picked up the gun and strolled back through the house dippfns into the bulging cookie jar while in the kitchen mom was still on the front porch i guess ill go out to the lake and use up these shells he told her all right son she said and added just as she always had done when he was still a kid but be careful wont you nbtey rolled his eyes then lifted his head and the next instant he was all over jim licking his face and scampering madly about joy ful little yelps punctuated all his actions jim gulped back a knot that was sliding up into hfs throat mom he knows me for sure now he rum pled the old fellows ears lookit him mom i tears were in moms eyes iid hoped the gun and your jacket would wake him up three years is a long time for you to be away even for the rest of us but for old nixey it was much longer yeah jim agreed he cradled the gun under his arm and strolled- off nbrey skipped along lively at his heels and jim varden thought that the had never felt so happy- and care free in his life before it was the needed todth for the old time to come back btalcuaj fc
