THF EVENING By HAROLD CARTER. | The blind man's dog led him to his ! accustomed corner, and the blind man's cane, which had been tapping along the sidewalk, was laid down upon the flagstones. The blind man took his seat, crossed his legs, and be- gan to display the tray of trifles that he sold. “Oh, what a nice dog!” exclaimed a young girl's voice. “Oh, I beg your pardon!” There was confusion in the tones, for she had discovered that the dog's owner was blind. The next minute the blind man felt a coin slipped into his hand. “Thank you, Miss,” he murmured, and then, by its milled edge, he knew | that it was a dime. Though the blind man had no eyes to see with, he knew that the girl's hand had patted the dog’s head and that the animal was looking gratefully after its friend as she tripped up the: street. The blind man was no faker, j as many “blind” men are. He had lost his gight in an accident when he | was quite an old man, and, having no other manner of earning a livelihood, he liked to sit at the street corner and “feel” the people passing by. The next afternoon two people stop- ped in front of the blind man and again the coin with the milled edge was slipped into his hand. And once again the blind man's dog felt the | girl's caress. “When we are married we must have a dog like that,” whispered the girls’ voice. Only the blind man could have detected it, but blind mens’ ears are sharp and this man knew everything that was happening within ' a radius of many yards. He knew, for instance, that that moment of si- lence meant a kiss—it was a secluded corner—and he knew that the little l They Never Came. } The newest shirts to wear with the | movement which followed meant that the girl was putting her hat straight afferward. The blind man and his dog looked | for their friends for many days after- | ward, but they never came. Somehow l the blind man fancied that somcthlng; was wrong. He spoke to his dog. “Jim," he said, “can you take me ! to where the nice girl lives—the girl who gave us a dime?” Jim cocked his ears, but this was a little too hard for him, and so he gave | i it up. But late that afternoon a young man stopped in front of the | blind man, “Do you remember a young lady ! who gave you a dime the other after noon?” he asked, and the blind man on | “Give her this,” whispered the young man, and the blind man felt a note slipped into his hand, together The blind man under his shoe- hid the note strings. Next afternoon he felt Jim pulling | upon his leash and unfastened it. Jim | bounded away, and a minute later he | was back, mh ring short, joyous barks. | away The young lady stood before the | blind man ( “Your d 1eted so strangely,” she | said in confusion, “that I almost fan- | cied you wanted some help tonlny.""

The blind man thought he was nearing the Jim tried to pull him away, but the blind man was frantic with fear that the romance would be ended He slipped on the curb, ised himself, and then went down b ath the heels of a pair of carriage horses, H The traffic stopped and the coach- man got down and lifted up the blind man. “Drive to the nearest hospital, Joneg,” cried a lady ingide. “Put him in the carriage—never mind my dress. | Quick!” | The wheels revolved, the horses raced along, and the blind man's dog leaped at the side of the vehicle, ! moaning dismnally.
