He Remembered

A strapping young man, with a cold look ia his eye and a brand new clothes wringer resting on his knee, sat in the waiting room of the Third Street depot waiting for his train. In gazing about his eyes rested on a certain man, and he save a sudden start. He rose to his f eet and started again.
