Cody, Hiram Alfred: The Unknown Wrestler. V1. 1 Dec 2009
Hiram Alfred Cody (1872–1948). Episcopal Priest. Born in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia. Author of 23 novels.
Excerpt There was no room for him on the sidewalk, so he took up his position beyond the curbstone. The light from the large arc-lamp overhead, exposed the old man’s thin white hair, withered face and threadbare clothes. His sightless eyes were turned toward the passing throng, and his head was slightly bent in an expectant attitude. But the hand that drew the wheezy bow across the strings of the violin often faltered, and the broken music, instead of attracting, repelled the crowds. The player was tired and longed for rest. But the fire of an overmastering purpose burned in his soul and kept him steadfast to his post.
