Hi, Justin

You are right. Finally, I got both of the curves. Happy! 
Thanks for your guidance.

You won't get the value in the tutorial unless you follow the published protocol.  The tutorial is an abbreviated version of a more complex protocol involving (1) prior simulation of 100 ns and (2) asymmetrical window distribution.  I believe this should be stated already in the tutorial.

You're probably just not plotting the histogram file right.

xmgrace -nxy histo.xvg

to show all the histograms.
