Fortune foretold on a train turns to salvation story
Five card sharps on a train hire a fortune teller who reads the five of spades as doom. He cites biblical passages to warn of hell, then shares his own conversion tale and urges them to seek the Savior before dying. The tale ends with one man recalling a sister’s Scripture and finding salvation after wandering west to California.
