helpless- sympathizer will be the

needy humans or onuses human
suffering. Suspension
tions figuratively takes the mule’s
stove away.
Ordinarily the mine mules liv*>
underground from one year’s end
to the other. There the tempera
turc remnins fairly even, summer
or winter. When the mines close 1
down the mules wet-e brought to
j the surface, many for the first

loose outdoors. The arrival of
the first cold snap found most of

suffering and possibly death from
