Stories About Blind Men.

Three men, two of them blind, were drink

house, and, as is too often the result of such
convivial meetings. one of the blind men
quarreled and came to blows with the msn

and have managed to rear families without
the occurrence of any serious mishap either
to themselves or the children And the cases
are rare in which the latter are defective in

she being his second wife, and he her third

Young days they had eourted, and parted,
blind in a double sense. We will conclude
with courtship, but In this case will not
vouch for its truth. A blind man on several
occasions met widow, who was not. hoNev-

that she would make him a good wife. He

felt the air ON his heated brow, and at once
stepped out without thinking where he was,
and so fell into the court below. The widow,

stop that hOrse-car.
1t was balmy afternoon last week
all the world seemed wrapped in man
tie of fading loneliness. The wind was
signing through the lawn and garden
in drowsy fashion, and the sunfiowers
that lined the graveled walks of her
home in Tin Cup alley seemed to be
reckoning with loving hands to the
Lady Florence McParker as she sat in
a graceful poise on velvet-coyered
tdIteuH and gazed in a languid, dreamy,
nO-washing-to-be--dOne-for--three--days
manner upon the pageant of nature
that was passing before her eyes.
But when the voice of one she knew,
one she had loved with deathless ten
derness in the halcon days gone by,
came floating to her on the scented
breath of the morning, thrill passed
through her, and the eyes, erstwhile so
listless, cleaned with the baleful fires
of revenge. Looking eagerly across
the croquet ground she saw PiZarro Me-
Ginnis, the man who had scOrned her
love, coming across lots on a run, while
far in advance, and now almost Oppo-
site her home, was FOur-and-a-half
street horse car. The girl smiled GRIM
~ to herself.
."Stop that car, shouted Pizarro.
The smile had faded from the pretty
face now, but no look of pity took its
place. "Divil stop will he get from
me-" she murmured, and went into the
house.
In a few moments there was rap at
thedoor. Florence answered it,and found
PiZarro there.
You have blighted my life, false
woman he said. AZ had job way
out at the Gas House, and now 1 shall
lose it because you would not stop the
car"
"Do you mean this ~ asked the girl,
kicking the dog off the front steps as
she spoke.
ayes" replied the man, you have ut
terly blasted all my prospects"
'dThen," said Florence, look of holy
calm and peaceful joy stealing over her
face, ''the McParkers are avenged" -
