Traffic was thick and Joe was enjoying
himself. Some one stepped up beside
him and stood waiting for the traffic
lights to change. Joe noted that it was
girl slightly shorter than himself, rather
blond dainty little figure a small face
and wide-apart brown eyes.
THE girl stood for moment and then
stepped down off the curb and start
ed across the street. She was half way
across when police car, siren scream
ing, tore around the corner and headed
directly for the girl. She jerked to a
stop, half turned and then stood utterly
bewildered. The police car bore down
upon her like blasting hurricane.
Joe covered the space between them
in two huge leaps, grasped the girl by
the shoulders and shot her across the
street as the police car tore past.
On the curb again, he released the
girls shoulders and stepped back, pant
ing, his chest aching from the sudden ex-
ertion. Then, as the girl spoke to him
and Joe glanced up, the pain in his chest
was forgotten. For the girl was not
looking at him. She was half turned
from him. yet talking directly to him,
thanking him for saving her. Although

the brown eyes were wide open, they
we're staring. They saw nothing. Joe
stopped breathing as he realized the
truth. The girl was blind
Maybe I can see you down the street
a way" suggested Joe, to stop her thanks
The girl smiled and accepted his arm.
Joe took her three blocks down the
street, around the corner and down two
more blocks. They stopped in front of
brownstone house. The girl lived there,
roomed and boarded she told him.
In their short walk Joe learned her
name was Lucy Reid, and she worked
in a publishing house that made a spe-

and Sealyham pup Lucy burst into
tears of happiness.
One month, almost to the day after
they first met, Joe kissed Lucy. He did
not know how it happened. One moment
they were seated side by side, the next
and she was in his arms, his lips pressed
to hers, her arms around his neck, cling
ing tightly to him. Joe slept little that
night. He had no business falling in love.
Especially with fair-haired angel
He was still worrying when next he
took her for a walk along with the small
Sealyham pup he had bought for her.

She was proofreader; she checked over
the pages before they were sent into the
huge machines. She described her work
to Joe.
Next evening Joe was at the same cor
ner at the same time. At sis sharp the
girl arrived. Joe spoke to her. She
smiled her recognition.
before a week had gone by Joe knew
that he was in love. He stared long
at himself in the mirror and thanked
his lucky stars that the girl could not
see him. In the next breath he cursed
himself for coward that he hid behind
her affliction.
Every evening for two weeks Joe met
the girl at the corner and saw her safely
home. Then one evening she invited
him in. The kindly landlady gave them
the use of the parlor. Joe's visits be-
came more and more frequent as the
days slid by. Twice he took Lucy to
musical shows, so she could listen to the
singing and hear the dancing feet. She
enjoyed them thoroughly.
Her birthday came around. and he

asked Joe to take her home Joe did
SO, bewildered and startled
Once inside the door the girl broke
down and sobbed hard. Joe took her in
his arms. The girl burst out with:
Its not fair! It's not fair! I can
hear all those things, feel the people, but
I can't see them! Oh, God If 1 could
only see them just once! Only once, Id
be happy!" The cry was wrung from
her heart and it broke Joe up He
fumbled and fretted until the kindly
landlady chased him home.
At home Joe sat on the edge of his bed,
staring long at the floor Half an hour
passed. Finally he rose and took his
bank book from the bureau. He studied
it. There was a balance of a little over
$4,000.
NEXT day Joe was very busy. He paid
several visits to various parts of the
city The first was to the office of a
famous specialist in the most famous
hospital in the city. From there Joe
went to another specialist. This latter
mans report left Joe cold and trembling.
The verdict had been hard one. Imme-
diate rest and special care in the noun
tains, or his time was definitely limited
The verdict of the first specialist was
more encouraging. The result of this
visit was felt when Joe called on Lucy
that evening. With him there was a
tall, fatherly-looking man. He carried
a small black bag in his hand. Joe intro
duced him to Lucy as friend; a friend

pathy, slightly tinged with
admiration.
Joe was certainly no great object of
beauty His skin was sallow, his fore
head high and rather broad. His nose
was normal, with a slight upturn at the
end. This, combined with pair of con-
tinually upraiSed eyebrows, gave him the
air of a moving interrogation point
Joe's chin was square and his shoulders
broad-four years in the Army did that.
Joe hated crowds. He avoided them.
He would cross busy street, walk two
blocks out of his way to avoid a crowd
or some one he did not care to meet.
In walking Joe was slow. He would
walk only a short distance and then
stop. He usually found some excuse for
stopping and leaning against a lamp
post, store window or the side of
building. 1t may have been the objects
in the store window, a sign on the pole
or merely nothing at all that caused him
to Stop-So far as any one could tell.
You see Joe had only one lung. Wait!
Joe had two lungS-but one was pune
tured. A Boche bullet did that in the
Summer of 'l8. Doctors and specialists
had shaken their heads over Joe and told
him that he had a year to live. Joe
battled through that year, and then an
other Finally he was sent on his way
by fatherly Government. as govern
mentS have a habit of doing, with a
small pittance in his pocket, no job in
view and no prospects.
To ma 10
his pittance and his savings last out,
but even that did not last forever.
He started looking for work. But who
wanted a man with only one lung? A
man who could do no heavy work?
He got in touch with some one, who in
turn got in touch with some one else.
After a few weeks Joe finally landed
his job. Probably there will be some of
you who will say that the job was not
honorable. Joe, you see, had enthroned
himself behind a desk equipped with
telephone and few sheets of paper and
gave tips on the races.
Joe was not booke He did not take
bets, nor did he accept money from those
who run betting establishments. What
Joe did was this: Suppose you came into
town and wished to take flyer on the
horses. You did not know what horses
were running nor how they shaped up.
You did not know where the races were
being run; where the meets were being
held. Then you saw Joe! Joe did not
tell you how or where to bet He gave
you the data you wanted and you did
the rest. There was only one condition.
Should you bet-and you were not
obliged to do so-you gave Joe 10 per
cent of your winnings. If you did not
win, the case was forgotten. At times Joe
quoted certain price for certain infor-
nation.
Some of the big men in the racing
game came to Joe with their troubles
and joys, and it was from them that Joe
gathered his data and in turn sold it
to you.
Joe was saving for a purpose. His bank
balance was growing slowly but surely.
This purpose was 4 trip to the noun
tainS and three-year stay there. Spe-
cialists claimed they would be able to
work wonders with Joe; there was
strong possibility that he could be made
almost new again. 1t would cost plenty
of money, over four thousand dollars.
That was why Joe worked hard.

but few. if any, knew of it. Joe was not

Ofncials explained this was due TO
the discontinuance OF work projects
under the civil works program on
March 81, and the Inauguration Of

three States. This shift from civil
works employment to employment on
emergency work projects, it was said,
resulted In o substantial increase In

In LAG large cities, representing 50

receiving relief increased 80 per cent
from March to April, while expendi-
lures for relief increased so per cent.
Reports from all States indicate that
3.0I2,000 families received unemploy-

WAUKEGAN, March 9 QN.s0.
Paul E. Schlottman got neither
scarlet fever nor romance. And

wife or the Rev. James ingalls,, he
got q divorce.
It was scarlet fever the Rever-
end ingalls, was exposed to in the
home of Mrs. Schlottman in
Grayslake. But it was romance he
got.
So today Schlottman is a free
man. He was granted a divorce
after he explained to Judge Ralph
Dady Of Waukegan that, after his
Vife and pastor got out of quar-
Nntine. she skipped away with the
pastor.
Under Quarantine
The Reverend ingalls,, who is ~
and handsome, was pastor Of the
Grayslake Congregationalist
Church. Schlottman is q pub

It was really all just a coinci-
dence, as the publisher related the
story. The Reverend ingalls, called
last october to administer spirit
ual guidance while Schlottman's
3-year-old son, John, was i'll. Before
the pastor could leave health au-
thorities had tackled up q scarlet
fever sign.
The authorities wouldn't let
the minister leave then. When
they didn't want him to leave
he wanted to and when they
wanted him to leave he didn't
want to.

On January 10, Schlottman
said, the Rev. ingalls, gave up
his pastorate. Two days later,
Mrs. Schlottman left.
The publisher told the judge
the couple have been living in

either.
Schlottman was granted GUS
