BurdenJim Burden, as we still call him in the West. He and I are. old friendswe grew up together in the same Nebraska town and. While the train flashed through never ending miles.

Bohemian girl whom we had known long ago and whom both of us. More than any other person we remembered, this girl seemed to mean to us. To speak her name. I had lost sight of her altogether, but Jim had found her again after long. His mind was full of her. He made me see her again, feel her presence, revived all my old affection. I cant see, he said impetuously, why you have never written anything about. I told him I had always felt that other peoplehe himself, for. I. I was ready, however, to make an. I would set down on paper all that I remembered of. We might, in this way, get a picture of. He rumpled his hair with a quick, excited gesture, which with him often announces a.
