He was walking along Quincy St. with one foot in the gutter and one on the curb stone. His hat was gray and somewhat battered. His coat was hanging loose and unbuttoned. He seemed to count his steps as he climbed and sank at each irregular stride.

He came to an Iron fence. The regularity of it intrigued him. After a feverish search about the sidewalk he found a small stick. Now he walked along the other side of the walk, tapping every other bar with his stick. The metallic clicking brought a gleam of satisfaction to his deep, intelligent eyes. Ah, this indeed is pleasure!
