Streets smoke grime the contact of a huddled million Of his fellows. He had had enough enough enough! Somehow somewhere Free dom waited and was calling aloud. The call had reached him with electric suddenness; the bank rose between him and the cage they called a city, and, in breaking the thrall, revealed it. He was loosed; he would be gone. A new sound broke in upon his re¿ections the sound of a woman´s voice in anger the crack of a whip. He wheeled round the curve Of the road which discovered the level crossing almost at his feet. A light, two-wheeled runabout was across the track. In the Shafts a bright chestnut pony stood immovable, its ears laid back, its quarters slanted obstinately in, its eyes round and staring. They were fixed upon the tele graph wires which bordered the road. From these the dilapidated remains of a boy´s kite swung in the breeze. With every rustle of the ragged paper the pony shivered, but otherwise remained motionless as if the rails were magnets, gluing the iron which shod its feet. A girl held the reins, chucked at the bit, raised the whip and brought it down smartly upon the shivering ¿anks. The pony shrank, but did not budge its foot hold by an inch. The whip fell again. Agnew advanced and raised his hat. Can I lead him? He asked. The girl ¿ushed. No, please, she answered quickly. I must conquer him myself. It is obstinacy nothing else. She raised the whip again, and this time the thong fell with the full force of her wrist. The pony raised a foot and put it down again. It was almost as if he had stamped it with defiance.
