[00:00.00]The attack was fierce,without mercy,leaving Blindy handicapped for life.Yet Blindy wanted no pity.He hand taken his revenge
[00:11.55]A MAN OF THE WORLD by Ernest Heminqway
[00:16.69]The blind man knew the sounds of all the different machines in the Sallon. I don't know
[00:24.53]how long it took him to learn the sounds of the machines but it must have taken him quite a time
[00:32.13]because he only worked one sollon at a time.He worked two towns though
[00:39.97]and he would start out of The Flats along after it was good and dark o his way up to Jessup.
[00:46.97]He'd stop by the side of the road when he heard a car coming and their lights would pick him up
[00:53.76]and either they would stop and give him a ride or they wouldn't and would go on by on the icy road.
[01:01.00](1)It would depedend on how they were loaded and whether there were women in the car
[01:07.11]because the blind man smelled plenty strong and especially in winter.
[01:12.54]But someone would always stop for him because he was a blind man.
[01:18.16]Everybody knew him and they called him Blindy,which is a good mane for a blind man in that part of the country,
[01:26.31]and the name of the saloon that he threw his trade to was The Pilot.Right nest to it was another saloon,
[01:35.69]also with gambling and a dining room,that was called The Index.Both of these were the names of mountains
[01:44.36]and they were both good saloons with old-days bars and the gambling was about the same in one as in the other
[01:52.61]except you ate better in The Pilot probably.
[01:57.11]Blindy probably preferred The Pilot because the machines were right along the left-hand wall
[02:04.13]as you came in and faced the bar.This gave him better control over them than he would have had at The Index
[02:12.60]where they were scattered on account it was a bigger place with more room.On this night it was really cold outside
[02:22.00]and he came in with icicles on his mustache and he didn't look really very good.(2)Even his smell was froze
[02:31.28]but that wasn't for very long and he started to put out almost as soon as the door was shut.
[02:39.09]It was always hard for me to look at him but I was looking at him carefully
[02:44.94]because I knew he always rode and Ididn't see how he would be frozen up so bad.Finally I asked him.
[02:54.08]"Where you walk from,Blindy?"
[02:57.48]"Willie Sawyer put me out of his car down below the railway bridge.There weren't no more cars come and I walked in."
[03:05.23]"What did he put you afoot for?"somebody asked.
[03:09.91]"Said I smelled too bad."
[03:13.62]Somebody hit on a machine but it wasn't any heavy hit.Blindy moved on it just the same.
[03:21.87]It was a quarter machine and the young fellow who was playing it gave him a quarter sort of reluctantly.
[03:29.03]Blindy felt it before he put it in his pocket.
[03:34.00]"Thank you,"he said. "You'll never miss it."
[03:38.44]The young fellow said, "Nice to know that,"and put a quarter back in the machine and pulled down again.
[03:46.69]He hit again but this time pretty good and he scooped in the quarters and gave a quarter to Blindy.
[03:54.34]"Thanks,"Blindy said, "You're doing fine."
[03:58.99]"Tonight's my night,"the young fellow who was playing said.
[04:04.19](3) "Your night is may night,"Blindy said and the young fellow went on playing
[04:10.46]but he wasn't doing any good any more and Blindy was so strong standing by him
[04:17.78]and he looked so awful and finally the fellow quit playing and came over to the bar.
[04:24.15]"What will yours be,Tom?"Frank the bartender asked me."This is on the house."
[04:30.81]"I was figuring on shoving."
[04:34.29]"Have one first then ."
