close to my head; | noted the CLEAN
ing knife that the fellow carried at his
waist; | thought of the way a bullet
in my brain would feel, ard of the
figure I'd cut at Washington without
my ears and nose; and then in low,
firm voice, trembling with generosity,
/ informed my companion that | pro-
posed making him a voluntary con-
tribution."
