94 HIS POINT OF VIEW 



man, the horse must overcome an intense dis- 

 Hke before he accepts our friendship. He 

 senses our defects of cowardice, cruelty or 

 selfishness, perhaps drunkenness, vices out- 

 ranging his capacity for evil. He knows that 

 we are physically small, slow, sometimes even 

 lacking in muscular strength. Yet taking us 

 all in good part, he submits his will to an 

 intellectual force, grasp and speed which seem 

 to him supernatural, and to an authority 

 which he venerates as divine.
