Thus tho fariner used to soeculate in his own tlesh and blood, but tho God of justice was now turoiug the scale.

Tho laudlords ssw tlie loowing in tha distance, They were mwakiog to tho fact that the fariners must have less profit, or they, sa landlords, would have to make .same concessions. He would sk tha farmers what concessions the laudiords would make.
