Excerpt from Timber Wolves
Vice and virtue flourish alike in town and country. The aphorism that one half the world does not know how the other half lives may well find its application here. So long as men continue to gather together in odd corners of the land, so long Will be found in their midst some whose presence owes itself to the fact that civilization will no longer tolerate them Openly. Such men admit no ties but those of self interest claim no kinship beyond the common origin. In the seclusion of the outback they are at liberty to revert to grossness unspeakable. For the character of Tom Login, therefore, it is felt that no apology is needed.
