into his hat. He came to listen for
it, and when he did not hear it for
weeks together the blind man would
feel disappointed.
Once in a while the blind man
heard the footsteps of the young
man who had been with the girl. He
knew them as the blind man knows
steps, by their individuality. There
was the least longer interval than
the normal between the stroke of the
heel and the click of the sole. Lar

BLIND MANS LUCK

please help the blind" was the in
scription on Harry Larkin's placard,
which he wore around his neck as
he sat day after day at the foot of
the elevated stairs. Sometimes a
charitable woman, or man who was
feeling friendly toward the world
stopped and deposited coin, looking
sympathetically at the old man seat
ed with crossed legs and bowed body,
his sightless eyes peering into va
cancy.
To Harry Larkin every footstep
conveyed its significance. He could
tell the woman shopper from the
shopgirl, the man of business from
the "rounder." He knew a good part
of his patrons; for generally the same
people remembered the blind man.
Especially in the theater hour did he
come to recognize the footsteps and
the voices of those who went by his
post.
There was the girls voice, for in
SSdnCS. IL was d
voice, and her steps were like a
fairy's The first time she hesitated
in front of him Larkin heard a mas
culine voice exclaim impatiently:
Don't waste your money on those
takers, Elaine"
But Larkin only thanked the
young girl, for beggar is schooled
to insults. He heard the footsteps
of the girl and the man recede up
the stairs.
Then, perhaps a year afterward,
he suddenly fished Elaine and her
father out of the caverns of his
memory. For footsteps halted near
him and the same merry voice ex-
claimed:
wait a minute, jack Look at this
poor blind man"
Hurry, then, or Wen be late for
the show" answered another voice,
