BRUSSELS, September 21.—The blind man wearing the ribbon of the cross of the Yser and the Order of Leopold who for some time this summer stood on a busy corner asking passersby for alms, begs no_more. One day a tall light-haired man with & pronounced stoop of the shoulders and mild blue eyes that hid behind thick lenses, stopped to chat with the beggar. “Where were you wounded, com- rade” he asked. “On the Yser, sir. Perhaps you were there, that terrible spot near the ferryman's house.”, (La Malson du_Passeur.) “Indeed, T was," said the stranger sadly, “for four long years driven from my home and country I was on that front and I know every metre of it. But I have better Tuck than you. I found my houss intact, although somewhat solled, upon my retuFn, and some of my fortune was saved from the wreck. Take this, go home. and rest for a few weeks.” Pressing a 1,000-franc note into the hand of the veteran the man walked away. A few days later, M. Forthomme, minister of national defense, re- ceived a letter calling attention 10 the. ex-service man's distress. The communication led to prompt action. It was slgned: “Albert, King of the Belglans.” SUES FOR INJURIES. « Alleging that an automobile of the Washington Coca-Cola Bottling Works, n.L backed into her at 10th and,G strects as she stepped off the permanently, Mamie Lawton has brought suit in the District Supreme Court for $5,080 damages.
