Answer: O’ Henry represents Jimmy Valentine and his different phases of life in this story. The jail authority releases Jimmy and gives him a five-dollar note, railway ticket and the warden gives him a cigar. Taking these Jimmy goes to a nearby restaurant to take his breakfast. There he gets the joy of liberty after long time. Coming out of the restaurant Jimmy helps a blind beggar with a quarter. Then he boards a train and reaches a small town near the state line. There he enters his friend Mike Dolan’s café where Jimmy once lived. From his own room Jimmy takes his suitcase which contains his burglary tools and comes out of the café. Then after committing three burglaries Jimmy begins to live in Elmore.
