The Daily Story
A Deaf Mute-By John Y Larned.
BY John Y. Larned.

/ Dan Goodwin, an American globe
rrotter. when the big European war
! broke out was In Brussels. Dan al.
ways wanted to be in everything. but
in an independent capacity. As for
! seeing the fight in the ranks, that was
not 10 his taste. He had no mind to
be bossed, and, as for living In a trench.
he infinitely preferred a front room In
hotel
Leaving Brussels. be went TO Liege.
then TO the top of a high hin and
watched the Germans smash the works
defending that city. He found It very
pleasant looking on from q safe dis
lance. watching successive missiles and
noting the damage they did or their
failure TO do damage. He enjoyed the
bonn bard ment for some time without
getting into any danger, then one
morning woke up 10 find the city in
possession of the Germans. This was
getting too near to the other side, and,
evafling himself of his American pass
port, he withdrew TO Brussels.
one morning Dan went TO the front
70 look for a good place from which
20 see battle. Suddenly a troop Of
1hlaus came down on him Seeing
their approach. he felt in his pocket
for his passport 1t was gone
Though the uhlsDs when he made
this discovery were but a few hundred
Yards away, Dan did large job Of
thinking before they reached him He
had heard a great deal OF the looking
Cured to him that he would be mis-
taken for one What should he do2 A
spy must be able 70 see. II be couldn't
see he couldn't be spy. He would
pretend TO be blind.
Fortunately he carried a cane and
began at once to tap the ground before
him with the evident intent 10 fee
his way. The Germans, seeing this
when they reached him. drew aside to
LET him pass, but the captain of the
troop pulled up and said in German:
Who are you, and where are you
going?"
Dan understood enough German 10
know the question he had been asked,
but it occurred to him to pretend that
he didn't He walked right on till he
ran against the captains horse, then
started back. initiating the action Of
blind man.
Hes deaf mute, captain" sug-
gested lieutenant
Deaf mute be hangedw replied the
captain. He can hear and see as
well as any of us"
This gave Dan the idea TO play that
he could neither see, hear nor speak.
and he decided to play the three cards
instead OF one. he made the throat
sounds of a mute.
Bring him along" said the captain.
They can find out about him at head
quarters"

Amputations are resorted TO only

surgeons are acting with the greatest

wounds are dressed with autiseptic
