The two friends stood and talked of all that had befallen them since their separation. Not until the calendar of gossip had been exhausted did Cantorwitch finally ask: "But what brings you to Kharkov, my boy? I thought you were on the southern frontier." "So I was; so I was," rejoined the other. "I have been sent up with two Jewish recruits. Holy Madonna! what has become of them?"
The two looked at each other for a moment, as if in doubt, and then with a simultaneous shout of recognition, they shook each other heartily by the hand. "Cantorwitch!" cried the soldier. "By all the saints, this is rare good luck! How have you been?" "Very well, friend Polatschek. But you are the last man I should have looked for in Kharkov. How well your service agrees with you."
Poor Polatschek, after listening to the consolations of his friend and fortifying himself with a quart of spirits, returned to headquarters, to spend the following ninety days under arrest for gross negligence while on duty. To Mendel, Cantorwitch seemed a special messenger sent by a benign Providence.
