ed the greeting between them after
such a long separation. Indeed, l
was more enthusiastic than the
traveller. He had given no notice of
his coming, but when we reached
the town he picked up his satchel
and looked out of the window and
said.

out there on the platform now
Il followed him out and he walk
ed up to the other and queried;
"Ain't your name Sam Blank?'
"Yep, and amt your name Bill
Blank?" queried the other il rep
ly.

Purity well, Bill
Come to visit me?'
Yep
Then come along to the house
THAT was all" sighed the mar
rator-'no hugging-no tears-no

had happened to be at the depot as
his brother Bill got off the train,
and Bill went home with Sam. 1t
