What if Edward Payson Weston can
walk from san Francisco to New
York in 80 days or so at the age of
~? He followed the railroad track,
had a commissary car and plenty of
money. Mrs. Anne Feibert, a slip OF
Kansas City girl, 20 years old, has
just arrived in Topeka after a little
3 miles jaunt from Olathe which she
did in IL days and wearing two and
half inch heels. She followed the
wagon roads, had to rustic for meals
and ran out of money.
What was the inducement2 Well,
nobody knows just what Weston got,
but the report had it that it was good
money. Mrs. Feibert did it for love.
Arrayed just as if for little stroll
down Petticoat Lane, she dragged in
to Topeka. Her fine black willow
plume bobbed YEARLY enough as she
finished her trip; her little feet Shod
in black suede buttoned boots about
. u size, needed several kinds of foot
ease; her stride was somewhat i'm
paired by her long walk on those
stilt-like heels; her black wolfe skirt
carried more dust than if she had
never wandered off the Ladies' l.. e;
and she wasn't quite as CHEEKY as a
shopper on an afternoon tour.
No, she wouldn't do it again. New
er, no more. Not even for love. The
sun beat through her thin white
shirt waist and blistered her neck and
arms. Her face, too, suffered and her
very pretty little nose was peelin5.
Yes, it was red as fire. Worse yet
she did not always find the incest
place to camp at night and she had
to steal Ono, take) green corn from
the fields and boil it by the wayside
No. not any more. that was the limit.
Sure, she had comprehension
husband for year or so. She
through with him, though, and she is
going home to mother, Mrs. Rosa
Reed, 622 Admiral boulevard, Kansas
City For the last two days of her
tramp, neither she nor her husband
had any money. 1t wasn't much fun
begging along. She pawned perfect
" good $35 suit in North Topeka for
81 and she pawned her ring for
like amount. Then she bought
couple of meals and told her husband
a peeved farewell Her mother has
sent her a ticket to come home on
and she leaves this evening
In order to reach her mothers
heart, the girl applied at the police
station last evening and asked that
they wire the Kansas City department
to tell her mother she was stranded.
They were successful and the moth
er will pay the railway fare Mean
while Police Matron Della Sayre kept
the pedestrienne at her own home
last. night and at her own table to-
day. The young woman was rocking
was in very good spirits.
Wei, We were looking for work,
explained Mrs. F'iebert with reluctant
speech and big grey eyes averted.
am unfortunate, that's all. 1t ism t good
to De out of money. My husband
thought he had work in Olathe so we
took the train down there.
But he didn't get anything. He heard
of several places where he could get
farm work and 1 wanted to go with him.

to walk. Well, we simply went from
place to place. always just too late.
We would hear of a place where they
wanted help but before we could walk
there, they had engaged some one.
I'VE visited several small towns on
the way and got along well enough as
long as we had money. The farmers
were glad to let us stay over night or
give us meals when we had money.
With the things we bought at the
towns, we cooked most of our meals by
the road. We had plenty of corn but
We never did see a watermelon patch.
The young wife would hear of no crit |
icisln of her husband. She bewailed |
the fact that she would have to lose
ner ring and suit however. and adj |
mitted her husband wasn't much of a
success.

1 do not care" she exclaimed i nave
stayed with him just as long as can. l |
have waited for him to make good as
long as 1 can stand it. don't care
what becomes of him. I'm through. If
a man ever will amount to anything A
year is enough for him to get started.
She is going home to mother and
work for herself, she said.
But suppose your husband came
back some day with a pocket full of

safe bet the fellow has i chance.
