“THE MAN OF NO ACCOUNT”
In Liverpool is a man whose left hand never knoweth what his right hand doeth. He is a man whom nobody knows. They talk of him as “the man of no account,” because that is all he ever tells of himself. Again and again, when misfortune has overtaken a poor family—a father out of work, children left motherless—a letter arrives with money for them, and not a word other than the line, “From the man of no account.” Fire destroyed all the belongings of a poor home. The unknown heard of it, and by the next post there was delivered a letter containing more than enough to pay for new furniture, and the line, “From the man of no account.”
