Excerpt from The Lantern, Vol. 1: February 20, 1913

On one cold December morning he entered my office in his old, worn overcoat. I hadn't seen Rulf for a long time. He was nervous and had a worried look in his eye. He wanted money, a small amount, I believe - about sixty dollars. I could not assist him. He had made the rounds of his everyday friends, and acknowledged that he had come to me as his last hope. He needed the money very badly.

I wanted to help him. I tried to borrow the money myself. Nobody seemed to have any, for some reason or other. One of the friends I approached suggested after my fruitless appeal to him, Why don't you try a loan shark?

He gave me the address of a salary loan company, and I accompanied Rulf to the place suggested. On the way to the money-lender he explained to me in detail how he had become involved, what he needed the money for and that under no circumstances could he approach his employers for an advance on his salary.

It would spoil his reputation. They would think him a spendthrift and they might care no longer to have among their employees a man who failed to save at least a few dollars of his weekly income.

The money was obtained without difficulty, in the office of the loan agent. Rulf assigned his wages as security and agreed to pay an interest of ten per cent a month.
