“It sounds pretty interesting，” said the policeman.“Rather a long time between

　　meets，though，it seems to me.Haven't you heard from your friend since you left？”

　　“Well，yes，for a time we corresponded，” said the other.“But after a year or two we lost track of each other.Yet I know Jimmy will meet me here if he's alive，for he always was the truest guy in the world.He'll never forget.I came a thousand miles to stand in this door tonight，and it's worth it if my old partner turns up.”

　　The policeman twirled his club (警棍) and took a step or two，saying：“I'll be on my way.Hope your friend comes around all right.”

　　“I'll give him half an hour at least.If Jimmy is alive he'll be here by that time.So long，officer.”

　　“Good­night，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 turned 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 hands with his own.“It's Bob，sure as fate.I was certain I'd find you here.Well，twenty years is a long time.”
