"Take some of your own advice," said Peter, turning quickly, and
speaking in a voice that made the man step back. A terrible feeling was
welling up in Peter's heart. He thought of the poor little
fever-stricken children. He saw the poor fever-stricken cow. He would
like to--to--.
He dropped the arm he had unconsciously raised. "Give me that lantern,"
he demanded.
The man hesitated and looked at the others.
"Give me that lantern," said Peter, speaking low, but his voice ringing
very clear.
The lantern was passed to him, and taking it, he walked along the line
of cows. He saw several with sores more or less developed. One or two he
saw in the advanced stages of the disease, where the tail had begun to
rot away. The other men followed him on his tour of inspection, and
whispered together nervously. It did not take Peter long to examine all
he wanted to see. Handing back the lantern at the door, he said: "Give
me your names."
The men looked nonplussed, and shifted their weights uneasily from leg
to leg.
