enthusiasm and curiosity than any
country visitor who ever rode in a
ruberneck" wagon.
Until dark he rode and then came
back to town to greet the many
friends he knew by voice but not by
sight. my. you're better looking
fellow than | ever thought from your
voice. he would say jokingly as he
would recognize a voice. Not until
2 o'clock this morning did sleep close
his new-found eye and at this
morning he was up again to discover
that he had not dreamed Of his re-
turned vision. He went out into the
home which he purchased since
darkness fell upon him and looked
It over for the first time. He looked
at the garden and flowers he had
taken care of carefully, even in his
blindness, and went to the barn to
see the cows which he has been
tending. For a man who couldn't
see what he was doing I think I've
taken pretty good care Of this place, 2
he said to his wife. merrily.
After walking all over the neign-
borhood and surveying it, he came
down town again and has been IS
joyous all day as a small boy with
his first pair of boots
Mr. Guiott is nearly fifty years I'D
and has been afflicted from birth
with defective eyes. However, not
until he was past 80 did his vision
fail him entirely. Since that time
however he has gone his way un-
daunted by his handicap. An accom-
plished musician. he has been able
to give lessons and play in orchestras
making a good living for himself
and family New pieces he learned
by ear. his wife playing them over
to him until he learned them. So
retentive was his memory that sell
dom was it necessary for her to play
piece more than once before he
could seat himself at the piano and
repeat it. He knows the city thor
oughly and has always made his way
about without any aid save a cane
He has even travelled To all parts OF
the county to play in orchestras and
he has done almost everything else
that a man with two eyes can do.
The news Of the recovery of his
vision has been received with rejoic.
ing by his many friends and ne is
being showered with congratulations.
