Unheeding where went;

How quickly our course was changed and all

officer craving the gay pleasures OF his

thought it all very lovely at first. the
yellow atmosphere, the soft, abiding

the green on mountain and fiat had

brown, and he was tired. Not even a
hostile Indian had come to be killed.
He was very good looking, this
stall young Spaniard, with his
impatient eyes and naughty. in

ssible that the lady in Mexico had added
to his burden by doleful prayers to re-
turn. He took letter from his pocket,
read it half through, then broke from
himself and walked rapidly over to the
mission, seeking interest in the work
of the Indians Under the keen, mer-
eciless supervision of the padres-the
~cleverest body of men who ever set
foot in America-they were mixing and
laying the adobes, making nails and
tiles, hewing aqueducts, fashioning
great stone fonts and fountains. De la
Tore specialized, after his habit, upon
7the future of a country so beautiful
and so fertile, which a dozen priests
had made their own. Would these In
dians, the poorest apologies for human
beings he had ever seen, the LATEST
and the dirtiest, be Christianized and
terrified into worthy citizens of this fair
land? Could the clear white flame that
burned in the brains of the padres
strike fire in their neophytes' narrow
skulls, create a soul in those grovelling
bodies? He dismissed the question.
Would men of race, tempted by the
doveliness of this great gold-haired
houri sleeping ON the Pacific, come
from old and new Spain and dream
away life of pleasure? What grapes
would grow out of this rich soil to be
crushed by Indian slaves into red wine!
And did gold vein those velvet hills?
How all fruits, all grains, would thrive!
what superb beasts would fatten on

hung in the church, and the naked
figures sped in upon the heels of the
soldiers. waving torches and yelling
with delight. The few neophytes who
retained spirit enough to fight after
the bleaching process which had chilled
their native fire and produced a result
which was neither man nor beast, but
a sort of barn-yard fowl, hoped about

were sent as an advanced guard to the

A NEW HORSE TEST.

bility.
There are different methods of judg-
ing Of the temper of horses, but one of
the most unique was that used by an
old lady who was fond of buying them
and who was withal of eccentric turn
of mind 1t was one of the old lady's
peculiarities that she did not like to
come downstairs, and for months to-
gether she was in the habit of living
entirely upon the second floor of a
large, old-fashioned country house
where she dwelt AS horses could not
well be brought to the second story,
and as she would insist in going on
with her purchases, her custom was to
have the animals paraded up and down
in the garden walks under her window,
a proceeding which SO damaged the
walks that the gardener was in a con-
slant state of fury. 1t was difficult to
see just how much the old lady could
tell from her observations from aloft,
and the poor bargains which she made
proved that her method, whatever it
was, was not to be depended upon.
Once when she had bought horse SO
vicious that it kicked its stall to pieces
and nearly murdered its groom, her
niece had the boldness to demonstrate.
'sAunt Sarah," she said, you can't
tell by just looking out of the window
if horse is vicious. and it isn't safe to
go on in this way"
You let me attend to my own bust
ness" the old lady replied with much
asperity. THAT horse was all right
The groom must have done something
to make him wild i know that the
horse was gentle. for saw him yawn
before L bought him. and it stands to
reason that a vicious horse would not
yawn."-Boston Courier.
