O. HENRYANA
outside. I've been wantin' to ask
you: Do you believe the Lord would
take a man in if he come to Him late
like-kind of a last resort, you know?
Say a man who'd lost everything-
home and property and friends and
health. Wouldn't it look mean to
wait till then and try to come?"
"Bless His name-no!" said the
sergeant. "Come ye that are heavy
laden; that's what He says. The
poorer, the more miserable, the more
unfortunate-the greater His love
and forgiveness."
"Yes, I'm poor," said Bulger.
"Awful poor and miserable. You
know when I can think best, ser-
geant? It's when I'm beating the
drum. Other times there's a kind
of muddled roarin' in my head. The
drum seems to kind of soothe and
calm it. There's a thing I'm tryin' to
study out, but I ain't made it yet."--- -- - ~~_.._ L ~ 1 ~111-
