Maguire and the
Deaf Man
By WALLACE RAYMOND GOMPY.
(Copyright, 1909. by Jéseph B. Bowles)
“1 tell you, doctor, the man's As
deaf as a post! We've tried all the
old tricks on him, but they didn't
work, I'm for discharging him as
soon as possible.”
The major in charge of the Second
Reserve hospital in Manila looked up
from his “morning reports.”
“Tried shooting a gun beside his
bed?
“They tried that in the company
quarters before we got him,” an.
swered the contract doctor. “We've
yelled ‘fire’ In his ear at night, and
everything else we could think of,
but it's no use--he's deaf, that's all.”
The major hastily glanced over the
papers in the case, muttering as he
did so:
“John Earle,
tall, ght.”
Under the heading of “Remarks” he
read:
“While in company quarters Private
Earle, reading a letter he had just
received, suddenly turned to another
soldier saying: ‘Why did that bugler
stop in the middle of stablecall”
The man answered, but Earle insisted
that he could not héar what was sald.
From that moment Private Earle has
been to all appearances deaf; all tests
have failed.” -
Then the major looked over the post
surgeon's recommendation for trans-
fer to Manila and discharge, and
tossed the papers aside.
“Orderly,” he sald, “go down to the
First Reserve and send Steward Ma-
gulre here.”
“Yes, sir”
gone
Ten minutes later Steward Maguire
stood at attention before the major
He was a red-haired, freckled-faced,
short, thick-set young Irishman. The
major knew Maguin’s record; he
knew {f Earle was deaf, Maguire
would know it before another day
passed
His eyes were agaln on the “morn:
ing reports,” and he d'd not look up
as he handed Maguire the papers re
lating to the Earle case
“l want to know hy tomorrow
morning whether that's a fake,” was
his only remark
“Yes, sir,” answered Maguire, as he
slipped the papers into his hip pocket.
“I'll do my best.”
As Maguire left the room a smlle
fiitted across the major's stern face,
and leaning back In bis chair he sald
to himself:
“I'd bate to have anyone give me
those orders |] gave Maguire. Wonder
what he'll do?”
“Now, what's m' friend the major
steerin’ me up against?” mused Ma.
guire, as he pulled the package of pa
pers from his hip pocket and began
reading while he walked along
“It 1 thought,” he sald aloud, “that
the ol' guy worked on the theory that
it takes a thief to catch a thief, 1I'd—
But it's dead plain that he don't; he
heard about me catchin' them two de
serters in Havana after they'd fooled
everybody from the general down-—
that's all. Now if a man wants to de
sert, | say, let him desert; It's none
of my rations. But when he deserts
and don't stop long enough to pay
the four fifty what he owes Magulire—
as one o' them did—It's no case for a
peace commission.”
Maguire stopped; he had reached the
coast artillery barracks. As he en-
tered the first sergeant’s office he re-
moved his hat, saying
“I'm Steward Maguire from the First
Reserve. Can you let me see the man
Private Earle was talking to when he
suddenly got deaf?"
“Over there on the third bunk clean-
ing his gun; his name is Kelly. Seo
him?" responded the frst sergeant.
Maguire did, and a moment later
was seated on the opposite bunk.
“Say,” sald Maguire, “we're going
to discharge your friend Earle, and
as the doctors In the states want a
full history of the cases, I've got to
make a fall report on Earle’'s. See?
Now there's a transport sails to-mor-
row, 50 you see I'm In a hurry. They
tell me you were with the poor devil
when he lost his hearin’.
“Yes—he was reading a letter, you
say? Gee! From his m 3
private, cavalrymapn,
and the orderly was
able rose on thelr elbows wondering
who the new arrival was
“Put him in 32°
master—"'pext
there ™
The patieht groaned loudly as he
was carefully transferred from the
stretcher to the bed
“Wouldn't want to be the fellow that
sleeps next to him, and hear him
groanin’ all night” remarked an afl-
tendant as he glanced toward the
screen
“That fellow's deaf;
put him here”
master
Then, after taking the new arrivals
temperature, the hospital men left the
victim of a “runaway accident on the
Escoita” to himself.
At nine o'clock the attendants turned
out all lights save four. Patients well
enough to enjoy the evening breeze
on the veranda were slowly entering
the hospital and retiring
Earle, the “deaf case,” was last to
enter the room. An incandescent lamp
burned near his bed Pulling the
screen around closer, he drew a letter
and as small tintype from his pocket.
Alternately he would read from the
letter and glance at the tintype.
A sharp shriek of pain came from
the Injured man, but Earle seemed not
to know It
Finally, taking a last look at the tin:
type he put both letter and picture
in the pocket of his coat. which hung
beyond that screen
that's why 1
explained the ward
“ACCEPT CONGRATULATIONS"
over the screen. As he turned away
a slight tinkle, like a plece of tin
dropping on the floor, could be heard.
Instantly he turned, stooped and felt
on the floor under his coat
Then his heart seemed to stop beat:
Ing: for, glancing over his shoulder
he beheld a bunch of red hair, freckles
and bandages which, as it peered down
over the top of the bamboo screen, was
heard to mumble
"Accept the congratulations of Stew-
ard Maguire on the sudden return of
your hearing!”
Early next morning. as an attendant
was sweeping under the cot that had
been occupled by the “deaf man”
something glittering In the sunlight
caught his eye. It was not the tin-
type of Earle’s sweetheart, but an or-
dinary plece of tin that Maguire had
tossed over the screen
THE RETORT COURTEOUS.
Reply Which Was Productive of a
Desire to Annihilate the One
Who Made It.
The pleasant-faced young man stood
in an aisle of the book department of
one of the big stores. Io bis hand he
held a volume which he bad some
time previously taken from the coun-
ter devoted to the display of the latest
fiction. It must be confessed, says toe
New York Times, that the young man
was devoting most of his attention to
au exceedingly pretty blonde clerk who
stood by his side. ‘The pair were, in
fact, so merry that they did not ob-
serve the approach of a haughty wom-
an of middle age who would prob
ably have tipped the scales at 250
pounds, And who wished to pass them,
an operation which, though simple for
persons of average size, was rendered
dificult, if not impossible, by her ex-
trems plumpness.
The newcomer paused a moment, but
the merry pair, oblivious of her pres-
ence, Kept on chatting gayly
“Can | pass you?’ she demanded at
length, In tones of thunder, surveying
the cflending couple with a glance
truly Gorgonian.
The young man turned, surveyed the
speaker, noted her distended nostrils
and wrathful eyes, likewlse her over
plump figure
“Really, 1 don't know

I'm sure”
Now, If looks could kill—!
he sald,

“I think that the people who have
taken this affair in hand have made
you sincerely repent”
“Repent!” exclaimed the man who

“The story goes thal some years
Mr. Longworth, took the latter dows
to his Kentucky throughbred farm to
“All of these yearlings were as yo
unnamed.
“ “Longworth,” said Ziegler, as they
strolled about the stalls, ‘you'd betier
let me bame one of these yearlings
after you. They're a swell bunch, and
almost all of them are wellnigh
bound to do something big in the
world" |
“1 don't mind,” was Mr. Loag
worth’'s reply. ‘But I'd like to be sure
of bestowing my cherished name 00 &
real good one. I'd hate to have a bad
one running in my name. My friends
of a racing turn would be guying me
all the time about my namesake's
performances.’
“Well,” sald Mr. Zeigler, ‘you're &
pretty good judge of a race horse
yourself. Now, here are two of my
cracks in these two stalls, IT have
‘em led out into my paddock by one
of the stable hands, and you can look
them over and take your pick of them.
Whichever one you like the best I'll
name after you.’
‘“Done,” sald Mr. Longworth, and
the two yearlings were led into the
open.
“They were both fine lookers, but
Mr. Longworth liked the appearance
of the larger one of the two the bel
ter.
“He's christened “Nick Long
worth,” then,” sald Mr. Ziegler, and
the colt was duly named Nick Long-
worth and registered with the Jockey
Club under that name.
“Now, the other coil of the palr
from which Mr. Longworth made his -
selection was afterward named Her
mis. Sounds kind ofawliliar to you,
eh, that name, Hermis? Well, I should
think it would sound familiar, seeing
that, in the deliberate bellef of many
of the most astute horsemen In this
country, Hermis was absolutely be
finest race horse ever foaled Io the
United States, a =pced and distaace
marvel, a bulldog who. never knew.
When he was beaten, and an animal
worthy to be rapked with the very
greatest race borses of all time in
this or any other country.
“Se much for Herinis, the one that
Mr. Longworth didnt pick out. As
for the one that he did pick out, ana
that was named Nick Longworth—
well, Nick was worth about nine dol-
lars and seventy-five cents as a rac
ing proposition, and that's about all
He could win a selling race once in
a while on Thursdays when the wind
was sou“sou-east by nor, but he
couldn't get out of his own way In
running with even fair handicap
horses, and he lost about (wenty
times to one win, and it really did _
come to pass that Mr. Loongworth's
Cincinnati friends guyed him unmer-
cifully about his namesake horse. Mr.
Longworth never, of course, told hia
guying friends that he'd actually bad
the chance to get 80 noble an animal
as Hermis named after him." He
probably felt that the situation was
bad enough as iL was.
“All of which came to my mind
while | was down In New Orleans,
attending the races there,
“There's a horse owner down there,
racing a small string at the old Fair
Grounds track, who has got into the
habit of talking to himself during re-
cent years. But he {s not crazy, and
bis friends understand what alls him.
Every little while he drills over to
an out-of-the-way corner, where he
thinks he is out of the range of ob
servation, and gibbers to himself, and
makes strange gestures with ‘Bis
queer motions with his legs as if at-
tempting to kick himseM. But, as i
say, all his friends understand the
reason why, and so they don’t dope
him out as a candidate for the booby
hatch.
“And the nub of it fs this: When
the mightly McChesney and Evelyn
Byrd were yearlings and on the block
for sale for a few hundred dollars—
it was a sale of supposedly cheap
yearlings, and there weren't many
bldders—Evelyn Byrd struck his
owner's fancy as being a right tidy
and trim litte Ally, while, to his view,
McChesney looked lummoxy and grosa
and overgrown and clumsy.
* ‘Nothing to It as between thesa
two,” he sald to himself, sizing up
the pair. ‘Me for the filly,’ and he
paid the price asked for Evelyn Byrd
snd led her away to his shed
“Then McChesney, the gross,
clumsy, lummoxy, unpromising-look.
ing yearling that had been, pranced
out and made himself a conquering .
and wellnigh invincible king among
the thoroughbreds of his era. And
Evelyn Byrd, doing the very best that
was io her, proved herself to be noth
ing but a poor littic old selling plater
with no more pretensions to class than
a prairie cayuse. She won a few
races from goat-horses, even after she
went totally blind, as she did, but
there was never a minute in her life
when she had any more chance with
McCresney than I'd have with Jim
Jeffries.
“So that nobody Is surprised when
these frequent tidal waves of mem:
luck owner, and Le hikes off to a cor-
ner of the New Orleans paddock
has it out with himself. The
are coming to him.”
