John Barleycorn

CHAPTER XXI
9/14

When I simply had to have ten dollars, desperate, with no place to turn, I went to Johnny Heinhold.

Several years had passed since I had been in his place or spent a cent across his bar.

And when I went to borrow the ten dollars I didn't buy a drink, either.

And Johnny Heinhold let me have the ten dollars without security or interest.
More than once, in the brief days of my struggle for an education, I went to Johnny Heinhold to borrow money.

When I entered the university, I borrowed forty dollars from him, without interest, without security, without buying a drink.
