Topeka Sketches of Hoffmaster and a Dying Minister
In Topeka a packing house employee Hoffmaster is described with a critical eye to his talk of business and faith. The tale shifts to Hoffmaster’s dying illness and a preacher reading from Mark, followed by a stray moral about charity and a trolley company contact helping William, a struggling husband and father. A widow with four children near Topeka faces hunger as a young girl Lore embarks on a quiet act of generosity, saving pennies to aid others.
