Explanation:
hey mate here is your answer
The vicinity was one that kept early hours. Now and then you might see the lights of a cigar store or of an all-night lunch counter; but the majority of the doors belonged to business places that had long since been closed.
O. Henry wanted the neighborhood to be fairly deserted for several reasons. One is that Bob would look more suspicious standing there in the darkened doorway of a hardware store. No doubt the policeman doesn't really consider him a suspicious character, because the policeman is really Jimmy Wells and he knows the other man is his old friend Bob. But Bob feels that he must look suspicious standing there. He knows that policemen are always suspicious of men just standing in one place doing nothing and looking innocent, because they could be lookouts (Bob has been involved in criminal activities for as long as twenty years).
