“Good-night, sir,” the policeman went away.

　　The man who had come a thousand miles to fill an appointment with the friend of his youth, smoked his cigar and waited.

　　About twenty minutes he waited, and then a tall man in a long overcoat, with collar tuned up to his ears, hurried across from the opposite side of the street. He went directly to the waiting man.

　　“Is that you, Bob?” he asked, doubtfully.

　　“Is that you, Jimmy Wells?” cried the man in the door.

　　“Bless my heart!” exclaimed the new arrival, grasping both the other’s bands with his own. “It’s Bob, sure as fate. I was certain I’d find you here, Well, twenty years is a long time.”

　　“You’ve changed lots, Jimmy. I never thought you were so tall by two or three inches.”

　　“Oh, I grew a bit after I was twenty. Come on, Bob; we’ll go around to a place I know of, and have a good long talk about old times.”

　　The two men started up the street, arm in arm. The man from the West, his egotism(自负) enlarged by success, was beginning to outline the history of his career. The other, hidden in his overcoat, listened with interest.

　　At the corner stood a drug store, brilliant with electric lights. When they came in, each of them turned to gaze upon the other’s face.

　　The man from the West stopped suddenly and released his arm.
