Exhausting labor in a cool climate, it was
murder under the broiling sun; but Hert-
ger merely laughed as David remarked
that no Northern farmer would work a
horse in such heat
mo more would t. Leaning over,
Hertzer smashed a fly on the neck of his
beast, an action singularly at variance
with his answer. For I'd own the horse,

But is it necessary David was be-
ginning. when Phelps interrupted
There's the point. It is. This may
seem rotten bad from a humanitarian
point of view, but ethics always did, and
always win, give way to economic ne
cessity, and, with all its faults, this is
the only practical system. The world

Afterward David came to understand
their ineffable callousness; to recognize
that constant exposure TO suffering blunts
sympathy, and that, inheriting the sys-
tenn from the Spaniards, the American
planters had gradually passed from re-
vulsion at its cruelties to blind acceptance
as the only possible method. He himself
was to feel the effect Of usage. But at
