1 II ti iVl.r\ VOIi. II. WANDERLUST. Beyond the ?fee! the sunrise, beyond the West the sea, And Fast and West the wanderlust that will not let me be; It works in me like madness, deer, to bid me say good-by. For the sea? call and'the stars call, and oh! the call of the sky! I know not where the white road runs, nor what the blue hills are, But a man can have the sun for friend, and for his guide a star; And there's no end of voyaging when once the voice is heard, For the river calls and the road calls, and oh! the call of a bird! Yonder the long horizon lies, end there by night and day The ola ships draw to home again, the young ships sail away; And come I may, but go I must, and if men ask you way, You may put tn?. blame on the stars and ?. the suo and the white road and the eky! ?Gerald Gould, in The Spectator. [_l u MRS. ADMINGTON BUTTS IN. ,)K years Mrs. Admington had wanted a telephone in the house, but her husband lind not seen his -way clear to have ono till recently. It was | day cf joy and triumph for the little lady when, final? ly, the instrument Avns fastened to the wall over the Admington's front stair landing. It was on a circuit with other 'phones and when the hell rang in one house it rang In ten other.?-. The Ad mlngtons. like every other family on the line, had a certain number oi' rings for their own particular ?all, but it took them some timo to get over being startled when any other number was sounded. It bothered Mrs. Admington less than other members of the family, and it gave her pleasure to talk about "ring? ing up" her friends, which she did with an accustomed air that waned to indicate there had been a telephone in every room in the Admington house for years. It was different with her husband. lie didn't like telephones ::ny too well in the olflee. and he was mire one in the house would be an abomination. He was confirmed in this belief the first night their 'phone was in commis* sion by being awakened from n sound sleep by the jangling of the bell and be? ing asked by an impatient inquirer: "Say, are you the undertaker7" The morning after the 'phone was installed .Mrs. Aduiinglon starlet to put It to most practical use. that of ordering things for dinner from the market. She was thiukimr how pleas? ant it was just to ring a bell and tell the grocer what to tend. She took down the receiver and put it to her ear. bat was somewhat vexed to hear a man's rota \ and discover that the line was busy. "I'll have to wait, and I'm in such n hurry," she pouted, but remembering an errand in another part of the house. she busied herself for a few moments. Her next try at the 'phone found the line still busy. Mis. Admington was tempted for a s'cmid to listen, but didn't think that would bo ?juito fair, so again she hung up Iba receiver end sat down to wait till the line should be disengaged. She fidgeted in a little chair for a minute that seemed ten and then went to the 'phone again, saying to herself: "Those people must be through talk? ing by this time." But they were not, and ns Mrs. Ad? mington took down the .eceiver for the third time to call up central she heard the emphatic declaration of a ,very decided young woman: "Well, I don't care. I'm going to marry hlin anyway." Mrs. Admington knew that she ought to drop the receiver, but she couldn't let go. It was glued to her ear. And. anyway, the next instant she beard the voice of the man she had heard twicp before, and he had been monopo? lizing'that wire long enough. / "Bu.t how long did you say you hnye known him?" be was asking the yo\/y< woman. / "Why, I've known him only/ two ^eeks," was the reply, "but I'y/> soen him an awful lot in that timey^ "Well, don't you think two/weeks g pretty Rhort acquaintance /to marry on?" urged the man. / "It would be in most eas/s," admitted the young woman, "but yfith us it's dif? ferent. He's awfully id/.0. and he HkPs me, and I like him./nnd he doesn't want to wait. He jfioesn't believe in long engagements. Jfu) neither do I." "Weli, you're a*/mpleton," was Mrs. Admington's mental comment, as she shifted from afhe foot to the other and moved a l/i!e nearer to the 'phone just a* the ?iJhn's voice was asking: A "Isn't he ?/iiMng to give you a littJ time to grft rea<h ! A woman " be marri*} conveniently on a day's notice, /f he i ikes you so much I shouldVthiuk he would give you a chanfw to g?t a few clothes togaWhei - a tro/* | know. Won't ? give you^ month or six weeks for tl/at?" /So" was the answer. "Ho's going yway within a month, and ho wants to Jt>c married so I can go with him." J "Isn't he coming V?; f "Yes, he's ceouug back, ' but be doenn'r ?-ant to wait till thee.r* "Well, if h. M *<> m?? h, don't >oo think jouable?" suggested t: ?ccassfi. .(Mighti Mr* Ad minglon./'The fellow's a uferfect pig-" "Well, I don't want you to think me too much of a meddler," came back the voice of the man. "I only want to sug? gest things that seem fcj be for your good. Now, you say you*- e known this man for two weeks. Are you sure you will care for him at the end of tw*< months? Wouldn't it be well to Vmlt that long and see?" "We haven't the least bit of fear of that," responded the young l?dy in tones of perfect assurance. "He says we were made for each other." "Made for the madhouse," muttered Mrs. Admington to herself, losing al! patience. "And how old did you say be was?" resumed the old man. "Forty." "And yon arc twenty?" "Well, I'll bo twenty-one in a cotroH of months." "And how old are his children?" "The lwy is fifteen and the girl only ten," spoke up the young lady, evi? dently without fear of tackling so tough a job as looking after the youngsters. The man was silent for an instant, trying to think of something else to switch the young woman off the ma tri moninl track. Mrs. Admington was hoping he would be successful, but he wasn't, se he fired a weak parting shot. "Well," he began, hopelessly, "all 1 can say to you is that If you marry that man after having known him only tw-o weeks you will be doing a very foolish thing, and in looking after those two children you will certainly have your work cut out for you." 'T don't care if I do." came the voice of the young woman .snappishly. "I've thought it all over and I'm going to marry hi in anyway." Mrs. Admington wasn't able to con? tain herself any longer. She had no sooner" heard the younr: lndy's ulti? matum than she broke into the conver? sation with: "Don't you do it. If yon do you're a perfect goose nnd yon ought to know it." Mrs. Admington heard gasps of sur? prise from the other two. and then the voice of the man: "Well, who in thunder are you?". "I'm not in thun 1er anybody," ?napped Mrs. Admington, "but I'm considerably older lhan the young lady at the other end of the wire, and I've learned ? few things she ought to know before she marries a man twice as old as herself and with two children as big as she Is." ? "Pity you didn't learn not to listen to private conversations." snapped the voice of the young woman. "Ami another pity you didn't know better than to discuss such matters over a telephone." retorted Mrs. Ad? mington. spicily. "Rut I'm glad yon did. for it gives me a chance to tell you you're a little simpleton if you marry that man. and you'll regret it before the year is out. He's old enough to be your father, and he wants you to ....?rry lrlm before you've prepared enottgh clothes to get you dec? - out of town. He ought to be ggh&ni . r himself, and you ought to be spanked, (ioodby." And then lfm. Admington hung up the receiver with a rap That almost broke the hook. "I've given that young ?vornan a piece of my mind, and I hope it Will do her some good. But I don't suppose it will. Next time I catch her on my telephone she will probably be asking some lawyer to get her a divorce."? Chicago Record Herald. l?cal News. / (From the Mount Olympus Journal.) By Franklin p. Adams.
