“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 drugstore,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.
“You're not Jimmy Wells,” he said sharply. “Twenty years is a long time,but not long enough to change a man's nose from straight to flat.”
The tall man said,“You've been under arrest for ten minutes,Bob.Chicago thinks you may have dropped over our way and asks us to have a chat with you.Going quietly,are you?That's sensible.Now,before we go on to the station here's a note to you.You may read it here at the window.It's from Patrolman (巡警) Wells.”
The man from the West unfolded the little piece of paper.His hand was steady when he began to read,but it trembled a little when he had finished.The note was rather short.
“Bob:I was at the appointed place on time.When you struck the match to light your cigar I saw it was the face of the man wanted in Chicago.Somehow I couldn't do it myself,so I went around and got a plain clothes man to do the job.JIMMY.”
