THE FRIENDLY ROAD

adjoining room. Here I broke eagerly into an account of the happenings of
the daydescribed my chance meeting with Mr. Vedder--who was well
known to Bill by reputation--and finally asked him squarely whether he
would meet him. I think my enthusiasm quite carried him away.
SureI will said Bill Hahn heartily.
When and where?
I askedand will any of the other men join you?
Bill was all enthusiasm at oncefor that was the essence of his
temperamentbut he said that he must first refer it to the committee. I
waitedin a tense state of impatiencefor what seemed to me a very long
time; but finally the door opened and Bill Hahn came out bringing R--- D-
- himself with him. We all sat down togetherand R--- D--- began to ask
questions (he was evidently suspicious as to who and what I was); but I
thinkafter I talked with them for some time that I made them see the
possibilities and the importance of such a meeting. I was greatly impressed
with R--- D---the calmness and steadiness of the manhis evident
shrewdness. "A real general I said to myself. I should like to know him
better." After a long talk they returned to the other room
