You have doubtless read of the very deaf

in the next street, turned serenely round and
said, f'come in" Mr.. McGufin was that
man. Augusta has been deluRed with organ
grinders for several weeks past. At one time
it looked as if the entire population of Italy
had purchased hand organs and come to Maine.
Yesterday forenoon old McGufiln sat in the
kitchen reading the Daily Journal The
lower window was partially raised, and the
sweet July air filed the apartment with its
perfume. Along came the hand-organ fiend.
He gazed at the houses on the street, and
finally caught glimpse of the shining scalp
of Mr. McGafin. Baldheaded men are noted
for their benevolence. The Italian smiled
smile thatwas childlike and bland. and moved
up under the window. rose bush. laden
with blood-red flowers, which sent its leafy
tendrils clambering all over the side of the
house. hid him from view. He moistened his
hands and began to turn the crank. The
strains of the "Beautiful Blue Danube"
loated out on the air. This was succeeded by
"Gentle Spring" McGufin didn't hear a
single note, and kept on reading the latest
bulletin from Washington and the news from
Albany. The tune changed, and the instru-
ment breathed an air from ''Pinafore" Still
no response from the victim. This was lit
tie discouraging. The olive skinned son of
the Tiber whooped it up on "Home, Sweet
Home" Then he stuck his swartby face
through the window, touched the Did gentle
man on the arm. and said: 'Hi, you, Gully,
five cents if you are please.' McGufin
looked up. and the moment he saw the Italian
wild thoughts that the man was an assassin
fitted through his brain, and he made an
window, pinioning the Roman. He writhed,
and struggled, and invoked the aid of all the
saints and swore in choice Italian. But he
was fast Several of the neighbors arrived
on the scene, and after a while the poor fell
low was extricated from his unpleasant posi-
ton and the matter explained. He limped
off vowing vengeance upon the community.
