A good Panama hat is never

the dirty window of Bhatto
Glinn's River Alley restaurant at
Hlua«|H>re. •It cuines to every one of
us drifter», »nd when tiie voice Ie

"Ay. ay." murmured Maloney, a lit
tle red headed !rl»h»ian, who acted a»
agent for u Jew flrm at Calcutta, "If»
right you are. Handy."
"There 1« no such person as a <'“••
mopolltun,” growled the big Scotch
man. ”1 thought 1 met one once when
we were Jerking a treatle bridge over
a «tream up at Simla, but he am a
fraud. He left one night and when I
went round to hla bungalow In the
morning l'found a little «crap of pa-
per »tuck In the thatch. It Just read:
'Gone home lo England.' Ya», by the
ax of Jlruce, that wm all—not sn-
other word. And that sun tanned devil
had been telllng’me month after month
that he had neither home nor cotin-
"Ay. ay." chanted Maloney. "I've
said the same, bad luck to me."
"I cursed him over-right, the Lascar
Sevang," continued Galt, ’’but that old
monkey-faced nigger told me to stop.
'His mother looked at b m lust night,'
said he. ’Hl» mother 1» In Englund,
d—n bl» brown hide,' I growled. ’It
doesn’t matter,' squeaked that old bag
of bones, 'hl» mother ha» been seeking
him for year», »nd last night »he
looked Into hl» eyes as he slumbered,
and he ha» gone to her. It 1» always
so, Suhlo.
Some day the mother’s
eyes will find them If they »It on the
rltn of the earth, and when they see
her In their dream» they go back.'”
Galt banged hl» glass upon the cen
tury-old table, and when Bhatto Ghun
had delivered the drinks, a silence fell
upon the group. The hot sun turned
the street puddles Into vapor musses
that floated upwards, thick und stifling.
• nd the voice« from the cafe chantlint

If they had seized favorable moments
when the air was clear.
There were five tn the party, and
no man was within three thousand
miles of his birthplace. It was Ma
loney's recital of an attempt he made
to reach Cork that had caused the
Scotchman to make his observations.
The little Irishman hud shipped as a
stoker on a big P. A O. boat at Mel
bourne, but the red mouths In the bow
els of the «hip had eaten up bls home-
longing before he relched Colombo.
There, Maloney deserted, und deferred
the pleasure of re-visiting Queens
town till hl» pocket coyld pay for su
perior traveling accommodation.
Presently Meehlln shifted his long
legs »nd knocked the ushes from bls
pipe.
"That's right »bout the voice," he
■ aid, with the air of a man who knows
that hla assertion Is Incontrovertible,
"I know all about the voice. I struck
Wellington. New Zealand, In 1900;
rode down on a leaking wind-Jammer
from Vancouver, and the voice found
me the moment I was on the quay,
tine of the New Zealand Steamship
company's boats was JusJ getting
ready to buck across to Sydney, and
the voice made me buy a forty shilling
steerage ticket an' hike aboard. Every
mile of thnt trip the voice got to whis
perin' stronger. ’Jimmy,' It said, 'you
haven't seen yer old mother for seven
years—»even years, Just think of It.
Never mind about yer stepfather. Jim
my ; den't think of yer little differ
ences with him. If he kicks yer again,
like h^ did before, don't take any no
tice of him.' That was the tune It
sang to me. Oh. yes, Galt Is Johnny-
on-the-spot when he gives lingo about
the voice. It gets you all right. The
one thnt called me was a soft of two-
thousand-mile radius voice. While I
was buzzin' about up around Seattle I
didn't hear It, but' Hie moment I struck
windy Wellington, it fairly poured Into
me sound accumulators, and liefere
sighted Sydney Heads 1 couldn't get
any sleep at night because It kept re-
proachtng me for stayin' away too
long.
"The moment I tumbled onto the
wharf, the voice swirled me up George
street to the railway station.
I
bought a second-class ticket, for Borke,
and then went across the rond to get
•omethlng to eat before the Western
Mall pulled out for Its run to the Darl
ing, I couldn't eat; felt as If I had
a bnlloon In me insides, so I came back
and cursed the porters until we swung
out. All the way up In the train that
voice made me sick with Joy. The old
bare gumtrees, the tl tree scrub, the
gray plains, the dusty drovers, every
blootnln' thing got tuggin’ nt me heart
strings, an’ when I got out at Bourke
I felt nil sore round the ribs like ns
If some one hnd been slnmmln' me
with slxteen-ounce gloves.”
Maloney made n sound that resem
bled n suppressed sob, and Meehlln
looked at him curiously.
“My dnd had been n ‘cockatoo selec
tor,’ you know. We hnd a little patch
between two big patches, and the
squntters on the two big lots hated
dnd like poison. When he died, mother
married McCarty Just to have n man
round the place to give bnck Up to
the boundary riders, and It wa« that
little mean-souled son-of a-gun who
mapped my home cable an’ set me
driftin' In ths first place. However,
the voice told ms to forget sU thst, sn'
that evening he pumped my right bund

•wish of the wing» of peac< when I
wa« telling about me wandering«.
"Next duy that little knock kneed
hound of a Stepfather asked me to give
him a hand In poleaxing a steer, and
I agreed to whip the pelt off ju«t to

1 wa» three part» through with the
Job when the door of the »bed opened
and a mounted trooper covered me
with Ida (Hipgun. The vole* wasn't
doing much culling at that minute.
You see, Stepdad hadn't a calf of hl«
own to kill In honor of ray return, so
he hud grabbed one of the neareat

Jimmy. What'» the good of Iwo of ;
us going In? Who'll look after your
mother, Jimmy?
Who'll shear the
sheep? Who'll keep yer little brother

It wasn’t the
voice that pulled me aboard the steam
er Walrupa that I heard that night.
He got ire that tnnd that 1 poked my
finger In Ids «eye when he wss look

ptace after that.
"Well, that Jury believed McCarty.
They »ent that old scoundrel back

called me day an' night for two years
while I lay in Dubbo Jail, an’ when I
used to look at the guards on the wall
I swore I'd never Imitate the prodigal

Those were the three kinds
of voice» I he»rd.
First, the voice
that call» you home—the one Galt was
tollin' you about; aecondly, the voice
of that old calf-stealing cuss in Bourke
lock up; and thirdly, the voice of the

Maloney broke the silence. "Did you
go back—afterwards?” he asked.
"Did I?" cried Meehlln, the arm

He »food up, stretched his great

Excellent Plan to Heat
Water for Dairy Cows
Lt Is cheaper to heat water for dairy
cows with a good tank heater than to
compel them to change Ice water to
body heat by consuming extra grain,
according to Dean Larsen of South
Dakota State college. He asserts that
when the cow Is required to change
about, 80 pounds of water dally from
freezing temperature to thnt of the
body, or 102 degrees Fahrenheit, much
of the feed she has eaten for milk pro
duction is necessarily diverted to keep
ing up bodily heat.
"Grain is too expensive to use as a
fuel for heating water." declares Pro
fessor I^irsen. “and the body of the
cow Is altogether too useful for other
purposes than thutu'f being used as a
stove. Furtlwmore, when a cow Is
compelled to nrlnk Ice cold water she
Is usually obliged to stand in frosty
air; thus she Is not only heating the
water she drinks but she Is also try
ing to heat the universe. This Is Ira
possible from a standpoint of getting
economic returns from the cow.
“Get a tank heater. A good serv
iceable heater may be purchased for
a reasonable sum and a considerable
amount of waste material may be
burned in It. such as waste boards
cobs, etc.”
The Strand Magazine once published
among Its “CurloslUe»” n photograph
of an American Indian boy who was
born without arms and was giving ex
hibitions in England of shooting with
a bow and arrftw with his toes. This
number of the magazine actually
reached tLe boy’s father, n Red In I
ri!: n, dwelling somewhere in the wilds j
of North America. He recognized the j
picture of bls son. of whom he had j
lost sight for year«. The joy of the '
boy’s family on learning that he was '

may be Imagined. It Is difficult to say

Plagued Deadly Ravages
The plague, one of the greatest In
history, ravaged London in 1065. It
carried off nearly one hundred thou
sand persons. The population of the
city at the time numbered about one-
half million; hence It will be seen that
one-fifth of the Inhabitants perished.
Fire» were kept burning night and day
to purify the air. The Infection was
not, however, entirely »tamped opt un

The plague Is supposed to have been
Introduced Into England by certain
Dutch merchants, and to have been
brought Into the city in bales of cot-
ton. Daniel Defoe wrote a “Journal
of the Plague In London," which Is
graphic In style, but highly Imnglna-

Tuberculosis
Consumption Is an old-fashioned
word which was used for the late stage
of tuberculosis when the patient was
wasting nway or being consumed, and
was confined to this dlsenhe of the
lungs.
Tuberculosis nowadays does
not mean what consumption u»ed to
mean, because the doctors usually
make the diagnosis much earlier, when
the hope of early cure Is very much
brighter. All consumption is tubercu-
