[04:37.39]Frank asked the young fellow what  he would drind and the young fellow took the same.The whisky was Old Forester.
[04:44.97]I nodded to him and raised my drink and we both sipped at the drinks.Blindy was down at the far end of the machines.
[04:53.64]I think he figured maybe no one would come in if they saw him at the door.Not tht he was self-con-scious.
[05:01.92]"How did that man lose his sight?"the young fellow asked me.
[05:07.25]"In a fight,"Frand told him.
[05:11.25]"I wouldn't know,"I told him.
[05:14.91]"Him fight?"the stranger said.He shook his head.
[05:20.63]"Yeah,"Frank said. "He got that high voice out of the same fight.Tell him,Tom."
[05:27.73]"I never heard of it."
[05:31.00]"No.You wouldn't of ,"Frand said. "Of course not.You wasn't here,I suppose.Mister,
[05:38.65]it was a night about as cold as tonight.Maybe colder.It was a quick fight too.I didn't see the start of it.
[05:47.12]Then they came fighting out of the door of The Index.Blackie,him that's Blindy now,and this other boy Wille Sawyer
[05:56.21]and they were slugging and kneeing and gouging and biting and I see one of Blackie's eyes hanging down on his cheek.
[06:03.28]They were fighting on the ice of the road with the snow all banked up and the light from this door and The Index door,
[06:11.44]and Hollis Sand was right behind Willie Sawyer who was gouging for the eye and Hollis kept hollering,
[06:18.78]'Bite it off!Bite if off just like it was a grape!'Blackie was biting onto Willie Sawyer's face
[06:27.21]and he had a good pull and it gave away with a jerk and then he had another good pull
[06:35.78]and they were down on the ice now and Willie Sawyer was gouging him to make him let go
[06:42.26]and then Blackie gave a yell like you've never heard.Worse than when they cut a boar."
[06:49.13]Blindy had come up opposite us and we smelled him and turned around,
[06:55.09]Bite it off just like it was a grape,he said in his high-pitched voice and looked at us ,moving his head up and down
[07:04.15]That was the left eye.He got the other one without no advice.Then he stomped me when I couldn't see.
[07:11.83]That was the bad part."He patted himself.
[07:16.92]"I cold fight good then,"he said. "But he got the eye before I knew even what was happening.
[07:23.35]He got it with a lucky gouge.Well,"Blindy said without any ill feeling,"that put a stop to my fighting days."
[07:33.07]"Give Blackie a drink,"I said to Frank.
[07:36.72]Blindy's the name,Tom.I earned that nameYou seen me earn itThat's the same fellow who put me adrift down the road tonight
[07:45.14]Fellow bit the eye.We ain't never made friends."
[07:50.15]"What did you do to him?"the stranger asked.
[07:54.70]"Oh, you'll see him around,"Blindy said. "You'll recognize him any time you see him.I'll let it come as a surprise."
[08:03.19]"You don't want to see him,"I told the stranger.
[08:07.86]You know that's noe of the reasons I'd like to see sometimes,Blindy said.I'd like to just have one good look at him
[08:16.27]"You know what he looks like,"Frank told him. "You went up and put your hands on his face once."
[08:22.99]"Did it again tonight too,"Blindy said happily. "That's why he put me out of the car.
[08:30.07]He ain't got no sense of humor at all.(4)I told him on a cold night like this he'd ought to bundle up
[08:38.71]so the whole inside of his face wouldn't catch cold.He didn't even think that was funny.
[08:45.51]You know that Willie Sawyer he'll never be a man of the world."
[08:51.25]"Blackie,you have one on the house,"Frank said. "I can't drive you home because I only live just down the road.
[08:59.22]But you can sleep in the back of the place."
[09:02.96]"That's mighty good of you,Frank.Only just don't call me Blackie.I'm not Blackie any more.Blindy's my name."
[09:10.74]"Have a drink,Blindy."
[09:14.19]"Yes,sir,"Blindy said.His hand reached out and found the glass and he raised it accurately to the three of us
[09:23.49]That Willis Sawyer,he said.Probably alone home by himself.That Willie Sawyer he don't know how to have any fun at all
