Heres now one American saw the country on a Job bunt which extended from England through Wales and Scotland to Edinburgh, In London a member of the Guards asked him, If you hadnt a lot of money, how could you take a trip like this? Oh, thats easy, he replied. "Worked my way across. I expect to walk up to Scotland and back, earning my expenses. Great; but how are you going to get work with jobs so scarce? he said nonchaTrust to luck, lantly. The walker arrived In Oxford at commencement time, remained there for . two days, then set out for out the There he sought place In Ilenley street which most people believe to be the Bards birthplace. At the rear of the house, with its quaint mullioned windows wns a spacious garden. A high stone wall surrounded this Idyllic spot, but screened none of the beauty. Due to his unusual height, he could look right over and enjoy the scene to his hearts content without having to pay for the privilege. In nearby Shottery, with his finances reduced to only eight shillings, he suddenly abandoned and sought work. He was offered a job in a cow barn, but finding that the purchase of suitable clothing would eat up all his profit, he declined the job and struck out for Worcester, a much larger town with probably better opportunities. Here he obtained a position as laborer to help reconstruct a store. Lost in the Hills of Wales. On the road again, the American wanderer took a long tramp through the wilds of Wales. Leaving the foothills behind, he came to the real hills, some brown with heather, soon to blossom out with tiny red flower? that would transform them into huge mounds of ruddy color. Once, after a storm, he became lost In the hills. Around him, as far as the eye could see was nothing but grassy, almost treeless hills and valleys. There was no sign of life except for a few sheep nibbling at tufts of grass nearby. A1 most in despair, he walked along mile after mile without coming to a road or within sight of a farmhouse, and it wasnt long before he realized he had been misdirected and was as near lost as anyone could be. Groping in darkness made deeper by the heavy clouds, he made his way, cautiously testing each step until he thought he had passed the 'marshes. He saw at length a little river in the valley, and beyond it a faintly glim merlng light. Throwing caution to the winds, he struck' out In that direction. Not far from the bank of the river, he ran into some tall grass and, be fore he realized where his feet were falling, he felt an odd sensation, as if by some sinister means he was being engulfed by an unseen power. He wriggled loose, only to slip again at the next step into the clutches of the TRAVELING i Stratford-on-Avon- half-timbere- gable-roofe- d holiday-makin- g bog. Was he suddenly to be snatched away by this monster and leave no trace? Frantic, he clutched at his oozing strength and fought like a madman, digging his nails into the slime, seek ing a support. Somehow in the black ness he found one and drew himself to safety. Liverpool to Scotland. Finally he reached Liverpool, the second seaport In Britain, where he was determined to make his next try for a He obtained one shifting furniture in the warehouse of a department store. On the second day there he was offered permanent work at nearly double the salary. Relieved, he thanked his employer, but explained that he was over to see some of the Old World and didnt want to settle down until he had done so. After two weeks of working, and exploring Liverpool, he set off for Scotland. At Ormskirk he saw an architectural monstrosity a church with a tower and a spire, built side by side. An architect he chanced to meet told him something of the story of the queer edifice. Two maiden sisters, of the name of Orme, desiring to donate funds for a superstructure, could not agree on the kind. After long argument, one built a tower and the other a spire. One night, just as twilight was beginning to form, he entered Edinburgh and passed down Princes street. Along one side, a wide expanse of well-kegardens extended to the bold, rocky hill on which stands Edinburghs ancient fortress, the castle. After paying his weeks rent in he had five shillings left, barely enough to provide food for two days, liiat meant he should have to use quick action. He began with the department stores, but was not so fortunate in finding a job this time. For two days he made the rounds, calling e orywhere he thought there was a chance. Being so tall, he drew the spotlight, and quips from the inquisitive Scots.

Hungry as a bear, he pondered on what he could buy that would supply the most nourishment at the least cost! Choci .ate won ! In a sweets shop, he bought three penny bars for breakfast and, munching away, crossed the North bridge. He came to the fine old bin ding housing the Scotsman and the E cning Dispatch, two of the most important papers in Scotland. Perhaps here was a chance; at least it was worth making a stab at! Inside he inquired how much could be made by selling papers. The man in charge was astonished. he said; All the Youre foolish, corners worth having are held by dealers already. Is the North bridge taken? No, spoke up some one near him, and he learned that it was the windiest place in the city, and that the news dealers considered it the most undesirable. People had to clutch their hats and keep out of the way of whirling dust, and usually lost no time in getting to the other side ; and, anyway, why should they stop to buy a paper when they could get one at either end? The prospects certainly werent bright. But undaunted, he took his stand near the center of the windy bridge, pulled down his hat, and began calling Dispatch! one woman exSelling papers claimed, And for a wager, I suppose. Well, Ill encourage no such foolishness I Its not even todays, is It? Yes, maam, its todays and the latest, and Im not selling them for a wager. Their attention attracted by his unusual height, pedestrians stared at him, many eyeing him with skepticism. But when they saw he was really in earnest, the papers quickly disappeared, and he had to restock frequently. By seven oclock he found he had made more than five shillings. The next day he was one of the star venders. On the following day liis photograph and a detailed article about him appeared in the press.
