As the former seemed quite uncertain of his footing and was being partially supported by the latter, people stared at him rather hard under the impression that he was intoxicated. He was not only well dressed, but wore a handsome ring, heavy gold watch chain and other ' 1 jewelry. Passengers jostled him con siderably as he swayed from the strap, and pretty soon it became evident to those in the vicinity that instead of being be-ing intoxicated the man was blind. A young lady made the discovery and immediately im-mediately arose and motioned the blind i man's companion to take her seat.
