Description

Excerpt from The Blind Goddess: Being a Tale of to-Day, Showing Some of the Undercurrents of a Big City When Judson Brownell walked down Broadway in company with his beautiful daughter on a certain October morning, he kept unconscious step with destiny. The unseen hand of unyielding fate regu lated their movements to a nicety and brought them face to face with Sanford Crane at the only point their paths crossed, in front of the Rector Street Arcade. In looking back to the small beginning out of which important matters rise, we are prone to exaggerate the influence of accident, but so far reaching were the results of this meeting that afterward to Crane it took on the appearance of occult design, his usual time of arrival in this part of the city being much earlier and his regu lar custom not to journey there, as on this morn ing, by the elevated road, but in a well-cushioned cab - solitary, thoughtful and calm. On the other hand, Brownell had never brought his daughter into lower Broadway until this day, and had, in fact, started as usual alone.
