CHAPTER LV
Blindness

Maddened by pain Deke CROPPED his
way to the second floor telephone.
He feared the house would burn
down from the results Of the explo-
sion In the laboratory. Goaded by
this fear he put in a call for the fire
department, then sunk to the floor,
his hands clasped over his burning
eyes.
When the firemen arrived they
found him lying unconscious by the
telephone. A charred and smoul-
dering floor threatened the third
story Of the house. While the fire.
men worked to put this out their
chief took Deke to the nearest hos
pital where he was admitted as an
emergency patient.
Hours later he became conscious.
His eyes were heavily bandaged and
he felt faint and sick. He called
weakly for a nurse, One came to his
side and took his hand gently.
What is it?" she asked.

us. But she's never given him her

longs to me. 1t can't be spoiled"
His decision was made. He loved
Joyce and trusted her irrevocably.
Il will go to her and tell her So"
he said aloud. 1.-The past is dead.
Whatever she has done, If she will
come to me 1 will love and cherish
her all my life"
He felt that it was solemn vow
he took. Almost that he was be-
ginning a new life. He glanced
down at the letter on the laboratory
bench. Angrily he tore 1t up. 1t
must be destroyed. He seized a
match and held it to the paper.
There was a roar, splintering
of glass, flash of fire.
Deke staggered back. An ex-
plosion shook the laboratory. He
clasped his hands about his eyes.
Pain unspeakable held him.
With an effort Of will he took his
hands away and tried to open his
eyes.
1t was useless.
He was blind.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-05-04

"Am 1 blind?" he questioned, anC
strained to hear her answer.
He could not see the look of pity
in her eyes as she told him, 1.-THE
doctors think you will be all right in
few days. Try to rest now"
Deke lay silent a few moments
There was so much to think of
Joyce, but that must wait. His par
ents in the South, the affairs of the
chemical plant. He spoke to the
nurse again. could you get word
to friend for me?"
Indeed I cam" the nurse an
swered, "if you will promise not to
get excited"
Then telephone to Judge. Robert
Perkins and ask him to come to see
me as soon as he can"
The nurse left the room and tele,
phoned the judge.
Blind? Henry Deacon. A. ]. Dea.
cons boy?" Judge Perkins echoed.
HE was apparently working in his
private laboratory when the explo.
sion that blinded him occurred. He
has only just now become conscious.
His family all seem to be away and
he is asking for YOU"
"I'I be out at once" Judge Per-
kins answered, hanging up the re-
ceiver and reaching for his coat.
In the half hour before he reached
Deke's bedside, Deke lived through
an eternity of suffering.
An opiate had dulled his physical
pain. His eyes and his burned hands
seemed like aching but distinct parts
of himself. But his mind raced on
This was the end then. The work
of the plant was at a crucial point.
True, new capital might save it, but
where was the new capital to come
from. He groaned. "Just two weeks
more" he said half aloud. Two
weeks more and the crisis would
have passed, the business would
have weathered the storm.
Blind and poor" he said to him
self He had no illusions about his
father. The elder Mr.. Deacon's days
as a captain of industry were passed.
The business called now for a man
of iron strength, not querulous in
valid, suspicious of every modren in
novation. The business was done
for.
"At least I won't have to read
about that" he thought grimly.
He would ask Judge Perkins to

plans" he decided, "but
1 know how hopeless it if ror him
to try. All we can do is go down
with colors flying. Judge Perkins
can help me out. Today we can
pay every cent we owe, including
pensions to old employees. Next
week we may noe even be able to
do that"
He turned over ways and means
of closing the plant without asking
any of their creditors or faithful
workers to suffer a loss and mar
shalled his facts to lay before Judge
Perkins when the latter arrived.
Consciously he thought of the
business, pushing back in his mind
the problem Of his love for Joyce.
Then Judge Perkins arrived. Deke
stretched out an aimless hand and
to grin.
"All in the dark about where you
are," he said, letting the judge take
his hand.
"How did it happen?" asked Judge
a note of deep concern in
his voice.

room. Presently the nurse returned

IN EFFORT TO
CONTROL ROAD
S~tockholders' Motion
In Orient Case Is
Overruled By Fed
eral Court

KANSAS CITY, Kan, Oct. 6.-P-
TWO legal moves in behalf of English
stockholders Of gold notes Of the
Kansas City, Mexico and Orient
railroad were overruled in federal
district court here yesterday by
Judge John c. Pollock. Frank nj.
Swacker and Associates, representing
the English note holders, sought un-
successfully TO enjoin American
noteholders fro milling their notes
with Farnk Campbell, district cou-t
clerk, in the fight for control OF the
road under the reorganization.
Swacker alleged that the American
note holders had assigned them to
w. T. Kemper and others to be used
in the plan Of the Kansas City
financiers 70 carry out their pro-
gram for purchase of the Orient. II
was also commended that Mr.. KEN
per had only m official interest In
the notes as he DID NIL notes Of the
road as receiver.
Swacker asked further that IL Mr..
keinper and his associates were al
lowed to put up their notes and buy
stock IN the recognized company
then that they be restrained from
d~isposing Of the stock.
Judge Pollock ovorruled both pleas.
He took under Amusement a supple
mentary hill offered by Mr.. Swacker.
Under . mandate Of the United
States circuit court Of appeals hand
ed down last summer az st. Louis,
the note holders have the right 10
buy IS 1000 shares Of stock in the re-
organized Orient company in pro-
portion to the notes they hold. This
stock will control 10000 shares Of
treasury stock in the road, 60 that
whoever gets the majority of the
saleabie stock will gain control.
The court Of appeals fixed next
Friday as the last day for the note
holders to buy the stock. Campbell
was appointed special master TO re-
ceive the notes.
Notes held by the American COM
mittee are valued at approximately
$1,000 900 while the English holders
have paper valued at about 81, 900 900.

pected TO be heard before time for

vas called upon 10 hear.

ter part of the session was devoted
to a hearing Of the many cases of
lesser nature. such as liquor law
violations and theft charges.
Judge Cunningham exchanged
benches with Judge J. Il. Mclean
for the first week OF the term,
which was devoted to organizing the
grand jury and hearing civil cases.
At the end OF that time Judge Cum
ningham found himself hearing a
long ease in Judge McLean's court
and was unable TO return 10 his
bench here as expected. and Judge
H. Harbert Davenport was appointed
special judge for a day or two.
In dismiSsing the jurors Thursday
morning Judge Cunningham thanked
them for their cooperation in dis
posing of the cases called before
them and complimented them on the
judgment displayed. He also took
occasion to compliment the various
court officials for the manner IN
which the court had been handled
during the session.
