Led By the Blind.
A curious story of the last fog in London is told. A gentleman found himself completely nonplussed and unable to find his way home, though within almost a few steps of his own door.
Hearing a footstep approaching, he waited, and asked the owner if he knew where they were
"Perfectly," was the reply. "Where do you desire to go ? "
The gentleman explained. "Oh," said the stranger, "that is almost at hand. Trust yourself to me, and I will lead you to your door."
Arrived there, he accepted the gentleman's thanks, and then laughingly said :
" I daresay if you had known what I am you would have hesitated to place yourself under my care."
" That would have depended," replied the gentleman, now eyeing his rescuer furtively. "Well, I think you would," said the other, "for I am blind."
