AROUND the GLOBE
 FOR A WIFE.


 Le Roy Remington was a young globe trotter. He had no idea that he was going to and fro on the earth hunting for something, but he was. All men from the time they are old enough to marry are hunting for wives, and all women from a similar period of their lives are hunting for husbands. Tell most of them this, and they will either laugh or get angry at you Nevertheless the statement Is true. Nature often fools us, but she never relaxes the enforcement of her laws.
 As was saying, Le Roy Remington was crossing continents and oceans, as he thought, to get rid of being bored. Had he been obliged to work Tor living he would not have been bored so much. Had he been married ne would not have been bored at all. He might have suffered under many 1rritations and annoyances, he might even have wished for a return of the freedom of bachelorhood, but he would not have been bored. Boredom does not usually belong to the married state.
 One day Remington was crossing the plains" of America somewhere between Omaha and San Francisco when the train stopped The weather was warm, and the windows were open. A train from the opposite direc- tion came rolling along with diminish ing speed. It brought the girl Reming- ton was looking for and stopped with her directly beside his window. Her window, too, was raised, and the two sat face to face within few feet of each other. Remington looked at the siri, and the girl looked at Reming- ton He made the most of the brief time allotted him. The girl lowered her eyes. Then there was a toot-toot ahead, and Remington's train moved onward.
 Remington was looking for this very giri, but he didn't know it till he was oh the Pacific ocean midway between san Francisco and Hongkong.

 lie went to Paris and from Paris started for London. On a railway train some twenty miles west of Paris, while stopping at station, train pulled past, and at window in this train was the girl he had discovered he wanted.
 It took Remington just thirty sec ohds to gather up his belongings and ieave the train. During this brief in- terval 1t had occurred to him that the sirl might be going around the world ana he had better proceed westward Ill the hope of meeting her once more ana at standstill. But he dismissed the Idea as ridiculous.
 The train tbat had passed was bound TOT Paris, and Remington took the next one for the same place. His trunk went on to London. But he cared noth- Ing Tor that He could buy trunks and

American Athletes DIsqusted.

London, July 1S.-American ath- letes are thoroughly disgusted with the treatment accorded them by off, cials of the olympic games.
 The secrecy with which drawing for track events is made and the result of this system. whereby the best Ameri- can runners are put in the same heats, is bad enough, they say, but now the unfairness in the tug of war Friday between the Americans and United Kingdom teams, in which off cials allowed the United Kingdom team to compete with prepared shoes, contrary to all rules, disheartened the American contestants and after a pro- test withdrew.

their contents, but he couldn't buy the girl who was going to Paris, though he could buy any one of dozens of other girls. She was surely going to Paris. All Americans who are approaching Paris are going there And ten to one ington returned to Paris and when he got there hunted through the registers of the hotels where Americans were accustomed to stay. At the Hotel Meurice he found the names "Mr and Mrs. Edgar D. Avery, San Fran Avery" The clerk told him that they had arrived at time that corresponded with the arrival of the train on which he had seen the girl he was hunting.
 While he was racking his brains how to secure an introduction he chanced to meet his intimate friend Philpot He asked Philpot to dine with him the same evening, intending to talk the matter over with him. No; Philpot's friends. the Averys of San Francisco, had Just arrived and he was engaged to drive with them. What luck! Would Philpot introduce him? Ger tainly! He would make an engage ment to take him to call. They parted, and the next morning Philpot told Remington that he had made the en- gagement for five days ahead, the first evening the Averys were disengaged. Remington passed five weary, waiting days and on the afternoon of the fifth received a note from Philpot to say that the Averys had left Paris unex- pectedly the day before.
 Remington was crushed. He found Philpot, only to learn that the Averys had gone eastward to Hongkong to sail for San Francisco immediately on arrival at that port. Remington in- quired the date of sailing of the steam CT they would likely take and found he would not have time to reach 1t himself. He could go westward and reach San Francisco earlier than the party going eastward
 He left Paris that night for South ampton, caught an outgoing steamer and reached New York in six days. In two weeks from his leaving France he was in San Francisco waiting the arrival of the girl he was chasing Whenever steamer arrived from the east he was at the dock watching. At last he saw Miss Avery coming down a gangplank. That was enough for the present He waited for reason able time for the family to get settled, then called.
 Six months later Remington and his bride were travelling from San Fran cisco to New York on their wedding trip. At station on the road the train stopped, and Remington for the first time informed Mrs. Edith Avery Rem ington of how he had met the woman he had wanted for his wife at that very station and had chased her around the globe.
