The marks OF his fingers stood out redly
on the cheek of the man he had struck.
'1n teach you. you loafer, to ogie
young women on the street." said the
young man as he delivered the blow.
The expression that appeared on the
face of the older man, Immediately he
felt the impact of the blow, was almost
inconceivably pathetic. He started, and
then turned very pale. -'t
Man." he said in a very low tone, ct
am stone blind
No one who witnessed the scene is ike
ly to forget it, nor can any of the wit
nesses think Of the really pitiable grief OF
the young chap who struck the blow
without feeling for him. He fairly took
the blind man in his arms in the frenzy
Of his expostulations. The blind man
generously made light of it all, but he
could not mitigate the heavy humiliation
of the hot-headed young man.
Il heard the laughter of a young wo-
man." said the blind man, quietly. "It
reminded me of the voice in merriment
of a girl 1 knew before my sight was
taken That is why I turned in the di-
rection whence the laughter came''
Then negro lad in the livery of 'sbut-
TONS" merged from the drug store into
which his master had sent him on an er-
rand, and taking the blind man by the
hand, led him carefully up 18th street.
The men and women who saw and
heard it all felt almost as sorry for the
naturally generous but foolishly impetu-
Gus young man who had struck the bow
they did for the blind man.

were chatting merrily. The girl was III

Suddenly the young woman ceased her

Her escort perceived the sudden change
in her manner and expression also looked
in the same direction.

Strangely" said the girl. He has been
looking at me with that same intentness
and sometimes half smiling, too. What
can he mean?"

anger as he looked upon the man pointed
