FAMOUS TRAMP LOVES HOME

A baby's voice has proven stronger
than the call Of the Wanderlust to
.''A-NO.-1", the worlds most famous
tramp. For moe than thirty years
Leon Ray Livingston was on the road
as a tramp; not because he was forced
to take up the life, but because he
loved the freeness Of it all.
There isn't a travelling man in the
country who hasn't seen Livingston's
mari" on railroad stations and water
tanks throughout the country. Even
now one can follow his latest trip
through Georgia and Tennessee by
watching for ""A-NO.1'S' arrow and
initials.
His latest tramping trip, and he
says it will be his last, led him into
Erie, Pa. last January. A crowd was
at the station to greet him as he slid
from the rods underneath railroad
car. In that crowd was young wo-
man. She timidly shook hands with
"A-NO-1". The tramp" was inter-
ested in her and soon learned that her
name was Miss Abigail Trohoski.
For the first time in thirty years
"A-NO1" was interested in some
thing besides his carefree life on the
road. That something" was Miss
Trohoski.
In a few weeks the "Miss" was
changed to "Mrs." and everyone won
dered just how long "A-NO.1" could
resist the call of the road.
But he settled down to writing the
book he had long planned. A few
days ago uniformed nurse crept
noiselessly from room in A-NO.1's
home and walked up to him.
tits a girl" she whispered.
"Thank God for that" answered
A-NO.1. "I'm glad it's not boy for
ne might have decided to be a tramp
too; just like his father. The road
has no more attraction for me now:
for with wife and a youngster at
home, what use has a man for the
life of a tramp"
