appeared in good spirits. On
point that they are settling, i.
that either women are harder or
shoes than men, or else mems
shoes are better made, for while
Mr.. Miller is wearing the same
pair of shoes in which he started
and they are in good condition,
Mrs. Miller has worn out four
pair of shoes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller have been
married since last April. They
left Colorado Springs October 10
on a wager that they could walk
to New York in 80 days. Due at
their destination January 10. the
young couple have no fear but
what they can win out.
The couple attracted no little
attention as they appeared on
the streets here and sold post
cards of themselves, for which
they charged ten cents. The
money obtained from these cards
is the only means by which they
earn money for themselves. They
sold many cards here.
Mr.. Miller was attired in a
khaki suit and carried a walking
stick. The cane was badly worn
from travel and he purchased an
other here. A large placard fas-
tened on his back told of their
long hike, giving starting point
and destination. Mrs. Miller wore
short skirts and was literally
decorated with pennants which
she had obtained at various towns
which she had passed through.
According to statements made
by Mr.. Miller they travel at the
rate of 45 mile a day, going on the
Pennsylvania tracks. Their walk
ing hours are from 6 O'Clock in
the morning until 6 in the even
ing.
The whole trip has beencrowd-
ed with interest for the bride.
She had never been outside of
Colorado Springs until she was
married last April. In all her 18
years she has never ridden in a
railroad train, except when she
was brought to America as an
infant from England. One of
her fondest dreams has been the
long honeymoon hike planned by
her husband. She is enjoying it
as much as she hoped.
II am not the least bit tired"
she said, when asked how she
could endure it, I'VE are walk
ing to New York to win a $500
wager and we will have no trou-
BILE in getting there. The first
day it wearied me and the next
day my muscles ached terribly.
Another couple, members of the
Pixies Athletic club. (meaning
Mr.. and Mrs. Fison) who started
out with us, have been delayed
on account of the illness Of Mrs.
Fison.
