And surely, on the other hand, there is no lack of men needing to be commanded: the sad class of brother-men whom we had to describe as "Hodge's emancipated horses," reduced to roving famine, this too has in all countries developed itself; and, in fatal geometrical progression, is ever more developing itself, with a rapidity which alarms every one.
Hodge's truthful remark that Darwin "is simply a naturalist," and that "his work on the origin of species does not purport to be philosophical." In physical and physiological treatises, the most religious men rarely think it necessary to postulate the First Cause, nor are they misjudged by the omission. But surely Mr.
Hodge's Lecture, while its theoretical considerations and negative experiences do not seem to me to require any further notice than such as lay ready for them in my Essay written long before, is, I am pleased to say, unobjectionable in tone and language, and may be read without offence. This can hardly be said of the chapter of Dr. Meigs's volume which treats of Contagion in Childbed Fever.
Then there was betting such as had never before been known in that old boathouse. Hodge's face was pale, and he refused to call, for he believed his time to get square had come. He put in his "paper" for more than fifty dollars, after his money was exhausted. Finally the game came to an end, and Gage proclaimed himself the winner. He started to take the money lying on the table.
He always thought the relation between the lord and the pauper peasant was the happiest possible; he cannot conceive what people mean by proposing a change. But then Lord Malmesbury was placed at rather a delusive point of view. If he knew the real state of Hodge's heart he would rejoice in the prospect of a change, not only for Hodge's sake, but, as he is no doubt a good man, for his own.
O my friends, in sad earnest, sad and deadly earnest, there much needs that God would mend all this, and that we should help him to mend it! And don't you think, for one thing, "Farmer Hodge's horses" in the Sugar Islands are pretty well "emancipated" now?
"Well, I thought I wasn't; but I don't know about it now." "Oh, this is bad, but it doesn't mean failure. I don't believe you are the kind of a fellow to give in thus easily to an enemy. You have more fight in you than that." Frank spoke in a confident tone, as if he did not doubt Hodge's ability to conquer the habit, and Bart gave him a grateful look.
"Didn't you consider that something more than a little fun last night? It struck me as a roaring farce." A faint trace of a smile came to Hodge's dark face. "You enjoy anything of the kind far more than I do, Merriwell," he said. "I like fun of a different sort." "Well, I fancy you will acknowledge I take some interest in other sports, Bart?"
I'll take your rifle, and you can borrow Hodge's old shotgun: if it bursts, it won't be much loss only you mustn't come too near me with it. There's no danger of interference from the police up here, I judge? But I say, what shall we do for a surgeon?" "There you go again, turning everything into a jest. Can you never be serious, man?" "Try to say something original, James: that is stale.
The thought of facing Merriwell with the confession that the ring was gone made Bart's knees weak; but he decided that that was the proper course to pursue, and so he hurried to their room. Frank had just got in, and, by the look on Hodge's face, he instantly saw that something of an alarming nature had happened. "The ring!" he cried. "Where is it?"
