Excerpt from Eshek the Oppressor It was Wednesday. Promptly at six o'clock, according to his usual custom, Jarvis Kennedy presented himself at the cheap restaurant where he dined nightly for fifteen cents. The food was badly cooked, but steaming hot and sufficient in quantity to satisfy the boy's hunger. Usually it was the one hour out of the twenty-four he looked forward to. To-night, however, he had little thought for what he ate or for the comfort the meal brought him. The truth was, he had had a hard day of it. In fact, ever since the Saturday before, when his period of service at the factory ended, things had been hard. He found no work, he suffered bitterly from the cold. From early morning until late at night he wandered aimlessly about the streets looking for a place, trying to keep warm, lamentably conscious that two dollars and a half was all that stood between him and absolute want.
