The Mexican was a bette noir to the
neighbors. He had arrived recently,
and bought four lots. On these he
was keeping half a dozen cows, and
running small dairy farm. He seemed
to be circumventing the city ordi-
nance, which prohibited one person
keeping more than one cow, by dis
tributing the ownership of the animals
among his children. The bad feature
about the affair was that the family
were casual about letting the cows
roam off the premises. They had

the revolution, and did not understand

from the north was raging and the
snow driving in binding sheets that

business that should have been attend

be attended to any time within the
next month without loss to anyone.
They were two miles on their way

and ran them into farmhouse for the
night. They were only two of hun
dreds that had to seek strange shelter
that night.
And back at the manor house as
darkness shut down and the blizzard
grew stronger. was a cook who flung
her arms about and wept, and a Miss
Bird Rayburn who scolded:
Yes, it's blizzard, and father and
mother can't possibly get home to-
