I
was
sold
to
a
corn
dealer
and
baker
,
whom
Jerry
knew
,
and
with
him
he
thought
I
should
have
good
food
and
fair
work
.
In
the
first
he
was
quite
right
,
and
if
my
master
had
always
been
on
the
premises
I
do
not
think
I
should
have
been
overloaded
,
but
there
was
a
foreman
who
was
always
hurrying
and
driving
every
one
,
and
frequently
when
I
had
quite
a
full
load
he
would
order
something
else
to
be
taken
on
.
My
carter
,
whose
name
was
Jakes
,
often
said
it
was
more
than
I
ought
to
take
,
but
the
other
always
overruled
him
.
“
’
Twas
no
use
going
twice
when
once
would
do
,
and
he
chose
to
get
business
forward
.
”
Jakes
,
like
the
other
carters
,
always
had
the
check
-
rein
up
,
which
prevented
me
from
drawing
easily
,
and
by
the
time
I
had
been
there
three
or
four
months
I
found
the
work
telling
very
much
on
my
strength
.
One
day
I
was
loaded
more
than
usual
,
and
part
of
the
road
was
a
steep
uphill
.
I
used
all
my
strength
,
but
I
could
not
get
on
,
and
was
obliged
continually
to
stop
.
This
did
not
please
my
driver
,
and
he
laid
his
whip
on
badly
.
“
Get
on
,
you
lazy
fellow
,
”
he
said
,
“
or
I
’
ll
make
you
.
”
Again
I
started
the
heavy
load
,
and
struggled
on
a
few
yards
;
again
the
whip
came
down
,
and
again
I
struggled
forward
.
The
pain
of
that
great
cart
whip
was
sharp
,
but
my
mind
was
hurt
quite
as
much
as
my
poor
sides
.
To
be
punished
and
abused
when
I
was
doing
my
very
best
was
so
hard
it
took
the
heart
out
of
me
.
A
third
time
he
was
flogging
me
cruelly
,
when
a
lady
stepped
quickly
up
to
him
,
and
said
in
a
sweet
,
earnest
voice
:
“
Oh
!
pray
do
not
whip
your
good
horse
any
more
;
I
am
sure
he
is
doing
all
he
can
,
and
the
road
is
very
steep
;
I
am
sure
he
is
doing
his
best
.
”
“
If
doing
his
best
won
’
t
get
this
load
up
he
must
do
something
more
than
his
best
;
that
’
s
all
I
know
,
ma
’
am
,
”
said
Jakes
.
“
But
is
it
not
a
heavy
load
?
”
she
said
.
“
Yes
,
yes
,
too
heavy
,
”
he
said
;
“
but
that
’
s
not
my
fault
;
the
foreman
came
just
as
we
were
starting
,
and
would
have
three
hundredweight
more
put
on
to
save
him
trouble
,
and
I
must
get
on
with
it
as
well
as
I
can
.
”
He
was
raising
the
whip
again
,
when
the
lady
said
:
