were Jerseys and the remainder
Brown Swiss and Holstein. Several
large deliveries of Brown Swiss and
Guernseys also have been made into

If inbound shipments of dairy cat

any criterion of the coming Into pre
dominance of a new standard in
cattle, the Jersey will in future years
bp one of the leaders.

(Continued from Yesterday.!
"When shall you begin to put
rouge and powder on nve, mother?"
one day Laurel had asked.
"Not until nice girls of your age
begin to put it on,” her mother re
plied briefly, with the practicalness
that guided all her decisions In regard
to Laurel as to what was proper or
improper, appropriate or inappro
priate.
It was because Mrs. Dallas ad
hered to models so scrupuously that
Laurel's clothes were never cheap
or flashy in appearance. Mrs. Dal
las was like certain dressmakers, who
know how to impart elegandfe and re
finement to the clothes they make for
others, while their own costumes are
often extreme and unpleasantly con
spicuous. Mrs. Dallas wore a good
deal of imitation jewelry herself—
large Imitation pearls around her
neck, large imitation pearls in her
ears. But Laurel never wore Jewelry
at all, except a string of tiny gold
beads.
The little Holland girl never wore
jewelry at all. except a string of tiny
gold heads. The little Holland girl
was one of Mrs. Dallas's models. In
Milhampton the Henry Hollands were
one of "the four hundred"—one of
the first ten of “the four hundred," in
Mrs. Dallas's opinion. Laurel did not
attend the same dancing-class which
Stephanie Holland attended, but Mrs.
Dallas often attended It, looking down
from her balcony seat (to occupy
which no ticket ft admission was re
quired) onto the polished floor below,
studying, scrutinizing, and recording
in as thorough and business-like a
way as a dressmaker at a fashion
show in New York.
When Mrs. Dallas and Laurel sat
down at their table In the big hotel
dining-room an hour later. Laurel
was all ready for her long Journey
to New York, and Mrs. Dallas all
ready for her shorter one to Boston,
where at the appointed meeting place
in the South station she was to pass
Laurel over as usual to the spectacled
Miss Simpson.
When Laurel kissed ,'her mother
good bye on the platform at the sta
tion, there wasn't a tear In her eyes,

Danny Finds a Qu**r Log.
Danny Meadow Mouse was reck
less. Yes, air, he was reckless. Had
he not been reckless he would have
gone back with Nanny Meadow
Mouse to the safety of their home In
the great man-bird. It was curiosity
that made Danny reckless. Curiosity
very often makes people reckless. He
Just tingled all over with curiosity
to see more of this wonderful Sunny
South and the people who lived there.
“I can go back to that big man
bird any time,” said Danny to him
self ns he hurried along. "My, how
warm it Is! I don't wonder that so
many of the feathered people come
down here to spend the winter. I
wish Mother Nature hadn't given
me fny winter coat before I left
home. It is uncomfortable down
here. A summer coat would be much
more comfortable."
But despite his recklessnesp Dan
ny waa at the same time cautious.
He kept his syes and his ears wide
open, and fie took great care not to
cross any open places. If he could
help It. For some time he traveled
without seeing anybody. And no at
last he came to the bank of a stream.
It really was a river. He could go
no farther In this direction without
swimming, and, while he could swim,
he had no desire to swim In strange
water.
Close to the water, lying on the
bank, Danny discovered an old log.
At least, that Is what he thought It
was. It was a big log, and It lay
out In the sun. Danny likes to ex
plore old logs. Often they are hollow
and make the very best of hiding
places. From where hs was Danny
couldn't tell whether or not this old
log was hollow. He was tired. He
wanted a safe place In which to curl
up and take a nap. If that log was
hollow It would be Just the place.
The only thing he didn’t like about it
was the fact that It lay right out In
the open.
So Danny sat right where he was,
hidden under some broad leaves, and
tried to get up courage enough to
run over and ha ve a good look at the
old log. But he didn’t know what
sharp eyes might be watching him.
And so he couldn't make up his mind
to take a chance.
It was a queer looking log. It was

then that log became smaller and
smaller until it ended In what look

and seemed to he covered with a
rough bark. The longer he look'd at
It the more Danny wanted to sec It
closer.
Presently Danny noticed two other
old logs floating In the water, “Now,
where did those come from?" mutter
ed Danny to himself, l don’t remem
ber seeing them when I first arriv

there. I guess I didn’t really look
at the water or I would have seen

although her mother's pretty cheeks
were all smeared with them under
neath the concealing hlgmeshed while
veil. The arms she put around her
mother's neck didn't cling nor clutch,
like the arms that held her so tight
ly, and her kiss was cool and brief.
But in her throat there was a big
lump, and about her mouth there was
a drawn, set look lhat meant she was
clenching her teeth together hard, as
she stood by the ear window, and
waved and waved to the lovely pink

smoke.
CHAPTER
Laurel could always pick out her
father in the waiting group behind
the gate at the end of the long grano
llthie walk outside the train in New
York, twenty or thirty seconds he
fore he saw her. This was because
her eyes were so keen ami sharp,
while her father was a little near
sighted, and because, too. th- was a
change in Laurel from yeai year,
while her father always It J the
same.
Laurel and her father were always
a little formal and constrained with
each other at first. Laurel never
could adjust herself quickly to the
fart that this distinguished-looking
gentleman, with the close-shaven
cheeks, little black mustache, and
keen gray, eyes, was her own father,
