Ing modification. A nan living only
six blocks from the parsonage had gen
erously offered Mr.. Starr free pastur-
for his pretty little Jersey in his

fully accepted. This meant that every
evening the twins must walk after the
COW. and every morning must take her
back for the days grazing.
One evening, as they were starting
out from the meadow homeward with
the doclle animal, Carol stopped and
gazed at Blinkie refiectively.
