WELFARE OF THE BLIND.
The Work of the International Brus-
 sells Congress.

London Chronicle.
 The International Congress for the Amelioration of the Lot of the Blind. which has just concluded it's sittings in Brussels, brought together representa- ttves of the principal countries of the world, many of them being well-known specialists in the care and treatment of the blind. The debates of the conference were of a thoroughly practical nature, and brought out many useful points in connection with the education and general treatment of the blind.
 The first subject submitted to the as- sembly for discussion was the question of the best means of hvelihood-the most desirable trades and professions. The congress listened excessively to Brother Isidors Gle of the Woluwe Institute, near Brussels; Dr. Essaid Bey of Constanti nople Signor Martuscelli. director of the Blind Institute of Naples; Senor Mas caro of Lisbon; Signor Monnier of Gene va; Brother Narcisse of Lille the Cha noine Naegeh of Bruges; Herr Haupt- yoRel of Lefpsic; M. Letot. president of the Federation des Aveugies Belges, and pr. laval, the last mentioned three be- ing themselves blind. It would appear from the result of this discussion that among the most desirable professions for the blind is the musical, that or organist, for instance. and pianoforte tuner. Among the trades the ''caning" and up- holstering of chairs, basket-making. brush-making. and manufacture of ar ticles of ironware take the first place Tor men, while for women sewing. knitting and lace-making are to he most recnm- mended Dr. laval pointed out that in the United States large numbers of the blind are excellent type writers, and in France many of them have turned out successful "masseurs The congress de- cided to take steps with a view to the anpointment of blind operators Uf only by way of triaD in telephone and tele- graph offices.
 Is if desirable to admit auxiliaries en- dowed with partial vision to the insti- tuions ar i workshops Of the blind with view oaiding the latter in the tedious gree of blindness might be allowed in such circumstances?

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Com mon Enemy.

David idly mixed himself some whisky
where he finished his cigarette. He was
tired and ready for bed now. so tired
that he could hardly find energy enough
to remove his boots and get into the big
carpet slippers that were so old and
worn. He put down the dining room
lights and strolled into the study. Just
for a moment he sat there, contemplate
ing with pleased, tired eyes the wilder
ness of bloom before him.
Then he fell into a reverie, as he fire.
quently did. An idea for a fascinating
story crept, unbidden. into his mind.
He gazed vaguely around him. Some
little noise attracted his attention, the
kind of noise made by a sweeps
brushes up a chimney. David turned
idly towards the open window. The top
of II was but family illuminated by the
light of the conservatory cleaning duly
on the transparency over the glass.
But David's eyes were keen, and he
could see, distinctly, a mans thumb,
crooked downwards over the frame of
the sash. Somebody had climbed up the
telephone holdfasts, and was ting in
the window. Steel slipped well into the
shadow, but not before an idea had
come to him. He removed the rolled-up
Rembrandt from the table and slipped
II behind a row of books in the book
case. Then he looked up again at the
crooked thumb.
He would recognize that thumb again
anywhere. 1t was fiat like the head OF
a snake, and the nail was no larger
than a pea--a thumb that had evidently
been cruelty smashed at one time. The
owner of the thumb might have been n
common burglar, but. in the light of
recent events, David was not inclined
TO think So At any rate he felt dis
posed to give his own theory every
chance. He saw long fustian-covered
arm follow the SCARED thumb, and
hand grope all over the table.

foarsely. Tt amt here. And the bloke
told me-"
The voice said no more, for David
grabbed at the arm and caught the
wrist In a vice-like grip. Instantly an
other arm shot over the window and an
ugly piece OF iron piping was swung
perlously near Steefs head. Unfortun-
ately, he could see no face. AS he

followed by the tearing scratch of boots
against a wall and the hollow clatter OF
flying feet. All David could do was to

spoke.
1T is pretty evident that you and I

to consider the thing calmly, IT seems
more by good luck than anything else.

Now, what particular thing was he
after?" he asked himself. But I had
better defer any further speculations on
the matter until morning. After the
fright he had. my friend won't come
back again. And I'm just as tired as

But there We're other things the next
day to occupy David's attention besides
the visit Of his nocturnal friend. He
had found out enough the previous
evening to encourage him to go further.
And. surely, Miss Ruth Gates could not
refuse 10 give him further information.
He started out to call at PIG Bruins
wick Square. as soon as he deemed 1t
excusable to do so. Miss Gates was out,
the solemn butler said, but she might be
found IN the square gardens. David
came upon her presently, with a book
I'm her lap and herself under shady
tree. She was not reading. Her eyes
were far away. AS she gave David a
warm greeting there was tender
bloom on her lovely face.
