she would stay awhile there. SO Rem
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 Meu-
rice he found the names Mr.. and Mrs.
Edgar ID. Avery, San Francisco, CAL.
u. S. A.. and Miss Edith Avery" The
clerk told him that they had arrived Mt
time that corresponded with the ar
rival 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 CHANGED
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 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

sail for San Francisco Immediately on
arrival at that port. Remington in
quired the date of sailing Of the steam
er they would likely take and found
he would not have time to reach it
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 a steamer arrived from the
east he was ut the dock watching. At
last he saw Miss Avery coming down
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 a 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.
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1912-01-20

- e ROY REMINGTON was young
| globe trotter He had no idea
that he was going to and fro
on the earth hunting for some
thing, but he was. All men from the
time they are old enough to marry are
hunting for wives, and all women from
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 enforce
ment Of her laws.
AS was saying, lie Roy Remington
was crossing continents and oceans,
as he thought, to get rid of being
bored. Had he been obliged to work
for living he would not have been
bored so much. Had he been married
he would not have been bored at all.
He might have suffered under many
irritations and annoyances, he might
even have wished for 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
1.-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-
ton came rolling along with diminish
ing speed. 1t 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
girl, 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 toot-toot
ahead. and Remington's train moved
onward.
Remington was looking for this very
girl, but he didn't know 1t till he was
on the Pacific ocean midway between
San Francisco and Hongkong.
BY the time he stood again on dry
land he had made up his mind that he
must find the girl on the other side of
the globe.
He 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.
1t took Remington just thirty seconds
to gather up his belongings and leave
the train. During this brief interval It
had occurred to him that the girl might
be going around the world and he had
better proceed westward in the hope Of
meeting her once more and at a stand
still. But he dismissed the idea as RI
diculous.
The train that had passed was bound
for Paris, and Remington took the next
one for the same place. His trunk
went on to London. But he cared moth
ing for that. He could buy trunks and
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
