KIN was sure he WOulQ always KNOW
those footsteps.
Now and again, oftener as the
year went by, he heard the steps of
the young girl and the man as they
went up the stairs to the train which
was to carry them to the theater.
And then one night they came down
the stairs, right at the time when
they should have been enjoying the
play, and the merry voice was sob
bling voice.
'I'n never, never speak to you as
long" he heard the girl say, and
he went home very detected blind
man.
He did not expect to hear the girls
voice again. but on the very next
morning she stood in front Of him.
eff had given you present last
night you might have brought me
luck, blind man. she whispered,
chokingly. Here, take this! And
wish me well, blind man.
She put fifty-cent piece into the
blind mans hat and went away.
Several times she passed him after
that, but she never left any money In
his hat. The blind man fancied that
she had taken a dislike to him. Once
or twice she went by up the stairs, in
the theater hour, with some young !
man, but it was never Jack. The blind
man recognized her voice, and it was
never merry any more, even though
she was laughing.
Once or twice Jack passed, but he
never paid any attention to the blind
man. Once he went to the theater
with another girl, and once he was
with a woman whose laughter made
the blind man shiver, it was so hard.
The blind man often wished that the
man and Elaine might meet when
they were alone.
But weeks rolled by and passed
into months, and he never attained
his wish. And gradually new inter
ests came into his mind. He had al

This afternoon the streets were al
most deserted, and hardly soul went
up or came down the stairs.
Suddenly the blind mans keen ears
heard the click of Jacks footsteps
in the street He knew that Jack was
coming into the little place where he i
sat, with the purpose of ascending :
the stairs. But then he heard the
man stop, and knew what was hap
pening; he was buying paper to ;
take in the train.
And just at that instant he heard
the footsteps of Elaine coming down
the stairs.
The blind man shifted his position
a little, so that he sat right in the
path of the girl She stopped. A
girls mind is not a weighty thing al
ways, and Elaine had evidently al
most forgotten the past.

she said impatiently. "Wil you
kindly let me pass?"
The blind man munibled and be-
gan to move slowly back. Everything
in the world now depended upon the
factor of time. The blind man was
very slow in moving.
Suddenly he heard the girl start,
and shrill petition was in her voice.
Let me pass! Let me pass at
once, blind man"
At that instant the blind man
could hear the cickety-clack of
Jacks footsteps upon the sidewalk.

the girl and then the blind ;man
heard the start that the man gave.
For just an instant the blind mans
heart was in his mouth. The next, he
knew that Jack had taken Elaine in
his arms in the street, yes, right in
the very presence Of the blind man.
Darling, forgive met" he heard the
man whisper.
