CHAPTER XIV.

"Rosamond, you are the most impul-
sive person | ever met in my life," said
Col. Trefusis to his hostess on the morn
Ing after their visit to Keppington, with
Its strange ending.
"Is there any harm in being impul-
siveT she answered, smiling at him
across the breakfast table, as she poured
out his tea; have not half the great
and good actions of this worlds history
been achieved by impulse?'
"Rosamond, was it upon impulse, and
If so, upon an impulse of what nature
was it, that you married Samuel EarleT'
She looked up quickly and met his
eyes; he was in earnest, terribly in earn
est, she could see that. She looked away
from him quickly, leaning her elbow on
the table and playing silently with her
teaspoon. He was beginning to under
stand her.
Heaven only knows" she answered
him sadly, after pause, "unless it was
one of utter despair and hopelessness."
"And see what came of it, years of re-
pentance and regret! If you had not
taken that rash and ill-considered
step"
"Then I should never have known
you," she interrupted him quickly, fash
ing her lovely eyes up into his with a
smile that set all his pulses tingling
Was ever so sweet hope given to q
man, who had loved and waited, as that
look and that smile? But John Trefusis
was not a man to snatch at so great a
prize with undue haste. Her heart, if
he ever won it, must be his of its own
free will and by every claim.
II will never" he answered her grave
ly. 81 will never consent to your taking
any other great step in your life upon
the impulse of a generous moment"
She bent her head, a deep color suf
fused her face from brow to neck. She
understood him, and she was grateful to
him. The strength of his self-control
affected her more than torrent of pas
sionate words.
Now, see what you have done now;
saddled yourself with a consumptive SER
want maid, and turned your house into a
hospital. Here is the doctors gig at
the gate once more!'
Poor girl, she had a dreadful night
] fear she is very ill; she did not seem
to be conscious when last saw her."
what made you bring her home in
that rash and impulsive fashion?"
1T is a silly reason, l know; you will
say SO, of course, because you are sensi-
BILE, but IL am foolish! l think 1t
was because Mrs. Succurden told me
that the poor girl was protege of Mrs.
Desmond's."
Two days went by. The doctor went
and came. The sick girl upstairs was
reported better, though still unable to
leave her bed. Rosamond was happy,
happier than she had been for many
years. John Trefusis made himself the
companion of her daily walks. Together
they trudged through the fast-meting
snow, laden with baskets Of provisions
for the poor at the cottages, whom Rosa
mond was accustomed to visit almost
daily. During these walks they talked
often and earnestly about the fate of
Brians wife, which weighed like load
stone upon Rosamond's heart, and tactly
there grew up a sort of unspoken under
standing between them. Rosamond would
take no new joy of life for herself until
she had restored happiness to the woman
who was in sorrow through her own In

As to Cross Breeding.

The vital objection to breeding
Is the danger that scrub stock may re-
suit, which would likely be the case If
the crossing was continued beyond the
first generation. On the other hand,
there may exist conditions when 1t is
desirable to make cross, even while
admitting that the grade of stock is by
far to be preferred. The parent stock
may be all right for present purposes,
yet should demand arise for stock
finer bred, for bacon or other purposes,
surely one would be justified R the re-
verse were the case.

To an inquiry how to fertilize a field
Of rye sowed last fall, intended to be
seeded also with clover in the early
spring, Dr. G. w. Woods recommended
at recent meeting the application Of
four hundred pounds Of muriate of
potash. This application was intend
ed to encourage the clover that was to
be sown rather than the rye. If it
was preferred to grow larger crop of
rye rather than the clover, he would
recommend dressing Of nitrate of
soda.

Cordoba. Mexico. March IS.

CORDOBA. MEXICO, March IL.
Leaving Orizaba this morning at Z
we reached this city in one hour
passing through a delightful section
of tropical growth--the first section
where we find the country green and
refreshing without irrigation. as rain
falls at all seasons of the year and
vegetation becames rank Enroute
we cross the wonderful Metlac canon
on marvellous iron bridge $50 long
and 92 feet above the stream, being
built on a curve of 325 feet radius
We are soon located at what is said
to be the best hotel. IL may be for
MeXicans, but We. trust we will not
be compelled to live the rest of our
days there. We are now only 1.500

Tally to see a peculiar tribe of In
dians from a little Indian village
about three miles distant. These In
dians are clanisn and have little to

come to Cordoba and barter and trade
in the open market. Their dress is
peculiar, but attractive. In fact, the
women are stylishly robed in white

cording to the wealth of the owner.
The women also are modest compar-
ed with the average Mexican.
As stated in a previous letter, we
left the City of Mexico for the 18TH
mus OF Tehuantepec and in order to
save midnight changes and hunting

we arranged to arrive mere in the
morning and spend the day prepara.

morning. We find it so warm that

a traveller just in from the isthmus
and he resident of Guatamala, said

anxious to pass through a purely
tropical section and visit the further
