I had been sent from New York to take charge of the Chicago Ofâ€" fice for a period of about six months. â€" Considering the housing condition, I felt very lucky to have two maiden aunts in Chicago, with whom I could live. But I found out the dinner meal was going to cause a hitch. ‘They always had their dinner at noon and were willing to change to 6:30 so I could have a nice hot meal, but I couldn‘t allow that because my office hours were from 10 a.m. to anywhere from 5 to 7:30 p.m. There was a restaurant within a ten minutes walk of the office, and 1 detided to take a noon dinner there. Thursday, Jan. 17th, 1946 When I arrived the first day at 12:45 the usher said, "If you can wait ten minutes I can give you a table to‘ yourself." I answered that I couldn‘t wait and would be willâ€" ing to sit anywhere. . 5 Following the usher I was seated at & table for four. Opposite were two elderly gentlemen, who both looked up. To my right sat a young man. ‘He moved his glass of water, against which he had propped his newspaper, to the othâ€" er side. For a second our glances met. He had nice brown eyes.. folded the paper and seemed to hesitate. I thought he might be going to give it to me, but he sudâ€" denly turned and went for his hat, taking the paper with him. He had to pass back of my chair in order to reach the aisle that led to the door. The second day I was seated at the same table with the three men snd the act was repeated. The third day, also, except that, after folding the paper, with out a word or nod, the young man laid it near of my glass of water, then got his hat. â€" I would have given him a nod my chair, but he had his nose so far down in his hat he couldn‘t possibly see me. seated beside him, he grabbed his glass and paper, and turned his back to me. It was a nice looking back. The coat was of fine textâ€" ure and well tailored. â€" Clean white collar. Clean shaven neck and brown hair to match the eyes. in the eyesâ€" of the elderly gentleâ€" men. But the folded paper was again laid by my glass as the young man hurried away. I had a busy afternoon and didâ€" n‘t leave the office until 7:30, and while riding home in the street car, a sudden idea came into my mind. I was surprised that I hadn‘t thought of it before. The actions of the young man could be plainly understood. He was a deaf mute, of course.

When I returned two weeks latâ€" er to the restaurant, the usher, the two elderiy gentlemen and even the waiter welcomed me back. But the young man simply moved When ready to leave he folded his paper and went to get his hat, as usual. Astonishment showed in the eyes of the elderly gentlemen. I was somewhat puzzled myself. But of course I had to no right to expect that paper. It was an easy way to break the habit and â€" Just then a hand lightly touched my left shoulder and on my right side came a hand with a folded paâ€" per, which was laid by my glass, and a clear masculine voice said in my ear, "I‘m glad to see you back, I thought you left to get The eyes and the friendly smiles of the elderly gentlemen showed their approval. But the next day I got a full view of the "Don‘t speak to me" back, again. After that â€"the routine of the former lday-mfinned.‘ % taurant was April 15th, and with the exception of the two weeks of my vacation, I had sat next to that young man for five days of each week. It was now the 5th of Sepâ€" tember, and I had just received word that Capt. Saunders would be back the morning of the 7th. I knew I would have to go to lunch with him. Next day would be my last at the restaurant. I was very busy but I wanted to say something to the young man, partly to thank him for the paper and also to let him know I ‘was going back to New York and this would be my last dinner in Chicago. Butâ€"really, I suppose it was the feminine in me that wantâ€" ed the LAST WORD.. I worked out a message in the fewest possiâ€" ble words. ‘When I had the senâ€" tence ready, I repeated it over and over again so that it would slip glibly off my tongue. ‘Only when seated in my usual place at lunch lditLl look up, only to find â€" The young man‘s chair was unâ€" occupied.
