A Pauper Plutocrat Jack Drayton's Christmas Night
At 9:50 p m on Christmas Eve Jack Drayton has 15 cents and six MSS of novels, owes 11 weeks rent, and faces an array of debts. A $5,000 uncle check fuels fantasies of dining choices and travel, but Mrs Steinhauser and butcher Mr Jorkins demand payment. The tale traces his unraveling as the banks close, debts mount, and plans falter.

Christmas Debt and a Stranded $5000
Jack faces old debts with tobacconist Dibbs as he clings to a $5000 check that cannot be cashed. He spends Christmas day in penury, buying buns and tea, planning to settle debts with Mrs. Steinhauser, Mr. Jerkins, and Dibbs after opening a bank account. Drayton later notes the tale as a cautionary Christmas memory.
