EYES OF THE BUM t by JOHN CAMEftON. a'opyilglu, 1016, by W Chapm?n ) Kverybody in Krplngham pitied Dorothy Lee. Shu was u aweet girl,' and it wax agreed thai it waa u groat l>ity shp whh so homely. "It ain't a fair handicap, " ?aid- old Mrs. Howell, who kept the pout oitlce. "It'? hard enough for a Kin to got mar ried in Now ttnglaud, anyway, but with her looks r I say it ain't fair." Dorothy's lather probably indorsed this view, but the hard-headed'' old farmer was too pructlcal a man to worry about his daughter's looks Dorothy lived alone with him, hor mother being dead, What sho thought on the subject she never disclosed. Sho must have known, however, that there was u reason why she was al ways a wall flower ut parties and was never invited on picnics uutl such fes tivities. When she was vwonty-rtvo Tom Lan ark came home after an absence of six years In the West. Fabulous stories preceded him. lie had found a gold mine in Nevada, one of the richest iu the world, it was said, and the glare of the sun on the alkali plains had seared his eyeballs until ho could only distinguish light from dark ness. So he had come back at thirty, to resume life ? no, not to resume it, but to take up its burden alone in the old house that had givxen him birth. Margaret "Harnett had been an old ll$me of Tom's In the bygone days. Hut if th^ro was any Idea that she would link her life to a blind man's Margaret, who was "running" with the banker's son, dismissed it promptly. "I want a live one When l get mar riedi" sbo said. And Dorothy wit nessed a snubbing which Margaret ad ministered to Tom In the street, In front of Iter house. She sa>w the blind mau trying to peer after the girl whose Hhrlll, scorn ful laughter echoed through the quiet street, and an excess of pity overcame her shrinking, and she hurried out. "Mr. Lanark," she said quickly, con scious that her words were almost be yond her control. "I am Dorothy Lee. Don't you remember me?" Tom Lanark felt for her hands and took them In his. "Indeed I do." ho answered warmly. "I have often thought or "you since "I have been away," "I think It was a shame the way Margaret Harnett spoke to you," de clared Dorothy indignantly. "Ah, well, one lives and finds out these things," replied the blind man wearily. After that Tom fell into the habit of dropping into the old farmer's place of an afternoon, and on one occasion ho actually drove up in a buggy. "I thought I'd ask you to come for a drive With me, Miss Dorothy," he ex plained. "I was sure I knew the way down the street to here, and that you'd do the reet? if you are willing to dp an act of kindness for a blind man." "O, I should love to go driving with you," the girl answered. 8he ran up stairs to change her frock, and, 41ve minutes later, the village was specu lating over the appearance of Dorothy and Tom, driving down the road -into the country and chatting as merrily as though they were old friends? which, Indeed, they might have bteeu called. But dicing the return Dorothy be came vety pensive. For she knew that her heart had turned very strongly in the direction of the blind man, and that he. too, as her woman's instinct told her, was by no means indifferent to her. , - And when they neared the town he suddenly placed his arm around her and drew her toward him, "Do you think you cf^n ever learn to care for a blind man, Dor6thy ?'' he asked. . It was a tremulous figure, shrink ing and nerved only by intense resolu tion, that went to Tom's door that night, fearful of discovery by the prying eyes of the town, yet spurred on by the sense of tremendous neces sity. And, after she had knocked, she (X)uld hardly make her knees support h\r, atod. clung, to the door-Jamb for support. The door opened. Tom peered out. Then : "I can't marry you," the girl was sobbing wildly. "You have never seen me as I am, Tom You don't know ? " "Don't know what, dear?" asked Tom's quiet voice. She felt his bands on her shoulders, but she could not ftee through the gathering tears. WRvf alb tfte^'homellest girl in firping haro," cried Dorothy. ? "ff eve^ you saw me you would be ashamed of me, Tom. And I can't marry you and not let you know; .and I can't marry you and let you be ashamed of me.1' ( She was beyond all self-control. She was weeping in his arms. She hoard Tom'0 voice between his kisses. "Dorothy, ypiL are the prettiest grl in' EZrpingham, and it wouldn't make any difference to me anyway," he s&fd, "because I love you. Now I will tell you something, dear. 1 am not quite no blind as people think? in fact the doctor says that in a few months more I may see as well as ever. Sometimes a man may pretend to be blind, Doro thy, in order to know his real friends, from his false 6hes." "How pretty Dorothy Lee has grown since her engagement to Tojri Lan ark," said the gos-.lps later. * And all agreed that she made the sweetest bride, that ever came out of Erplngham ? all but MargaretvBarnett, who was no longar "running' *ith the banker** sob. ?.:.-??? j JPFJRSQNA?.
