lifetime,
One of these persons once worked
in Denver under the name of Thorn
as A. Anderson and amassed a con-
siderable fortune without the knowl-
edge OF the other. One OF them is
a normal young chap save for a
scar over the left eye where a frag-
ment of n Boche II. E. shell did its
work during the flaming days Of
Beileau Woods.
The other is a queer person who
car do incredible stunts. a motorist
who can drive blindfolded better
than many perrons can drive with
both eyes open, a golfer. a billiard
PLAYER. an entertainer who has not
ret reached the extent OF his mental
powers.
Hayward Thompson. the person
atty who works wonders, can drive
.bllnafolded without scratching an
other car. without violating a traf-
fic ordnance. He will go without
hesitation over any designed route
and will rark his car at will. Dur.
ing his drive in Casper arrange
ments will be made with A. X. Bot
to have him stop his car and enter
the Hennine hotel. proceed TO the
billiard room and execute some diff
cult three-eushion billiard shots
while blindfolded.
Hayward Thompson's history is a
vivid and interesting one, and he
has been the subject OF considerable
study among the psycopaths, psy-
biologists. Dsychothisists, and psy-
c~hothattists OF the United States
ever since his remarkable and I'M
canny gifts for skill. II It is skill.
became known.
At the outbreak OF the war he was
living in Missouri and promptly
went to St. Louis and enlisted in
the Marine corps. being assigned to
the Fifth Marines. He trained at
Paris Island along with Secretary
DENLY of the Navy department. and
went abroad with that outfit. At
the battle of the Bois de Belleau
when the Marines checked the ap-
parently invincible onrush of Ger
man army's last great assault, a
shell splinter crashed him. striking
just above the left eyebrow and
fracturing the skull. And that shell
splinter did some funny work. Ac-
cording to some Of the physicians
and surgeons who have examined
him since that time the conclusion
ruptured a part OF the delicate union
between the right and left lobes Of
the brain and did in one spot injure
the dura mater. which is the tough
outer covering or the brain.
After that Hayward Thompson's
life was Just n darned hospital
after another. For a time during
1921 he was appointed by Secretary
McAdoo as director OF the war loan
organization OF the Eighth Federal
district at Kansas city. n job which
he held down from a hospital cot
