((TT OOMKa to every wanderer iai aome nine m me wauuw Ings," aald Oalt. looking out through tha dirty window of Bhatto Ghana river alley restaurant at Singapore. "It cornea to every one of us drifters, and when the voice Is strong enough wa atrlka tha home trail." "Ay, ay," murmured Moloney, a lit tle red headed Irishman, who acted as agent for a Jew Orin at Calcutta. 'It's right yon are, Bandy. "There la no auch person aa a cos mopolitan," growled the big Scotch man. ."I thought I met one once when wa ware jerking a trestle bridge over a stream up at Simla, but be waa a fraud. Ha left ua one night and when I went round to hla bungalow In tha morning I found a little scrap of pa per aturk In tha thatch. It Just read : 'Cone home to England.' Yes, by the' ax of Bruce, that was all not an other word. And that sun-tanned devil bad been telling ma month after month that ha bad neither home nor country." "Ay, ay," chanted Maloney. "I've aald tha same, bad luck to me." "I cursed hi in over-right tha Lascar aerang," continued Ualt, "but that old monkey-faced nigger told ma to atop. 'Ilia mother looked at blm last night,' aald he. 'Ilia mother la In England, d n hla brown hide.' I growled. 'II doesn't matter,' squeaked Hist old bag ot bones, 'hla mother has been seek ing blm for years, and last night she looked Into hla ayes aa be slumbered. and ha baa gone to bar. It la always so, aablb. Home day tba mother's eyes will find them If they alt on the rim of tha earth, and when tbey ace ber In their dreams they go bark.' " Celt banged bla glass upon tbe cen tury-old table, and when Bhatto Ghan had delivered the drluks, a silence fell upon tha group. Tha hot aun turned tha street puddles Into vapor manes that floated upwards, thick and stifling, and tha voices from the cafe cbantant cane through In Inter mlttent blasts aa If they bad aeUed favorable momenta when tha air waa clear. There were Ave In tha party, and no man waa within three thousand miles of his birthplace. It waa Maloney'a re cital of an attempt be made to reach Cork that bad caused tha Scotchman to make hla observations. Tha little Irishman had ehlpid as a stoker on a big P. A O. boat at Melbourne, but tha red mouths In the bowels of the ship had eaten up hla borne longing he- fure be reached Colombo. There, Me- lonry deserted, and deferred tbe pleas ure of revisiting Qurenatown till his pocket could psy for superior travel' Ing accommodation. Presently Meehlln shifted bis long lega and knocked the ashes from his pipe. That's right about tha voice," be aald, with the air of a man who knowa that hla aaaertlon la Incontrovertible. "I know all about tha voice. I struck Wellington. New Zealand, In 1900; rode down on a leaking windjammer from Vancouver, and tha voire found ua the moment I waa on tba quay. One of tha New Zealand Steamship company'a boata waa just getting reedy to buck across to Sydney, and tha voice made me buy a forty-shilling steerage ticket an' hike aboard. Every mile of that trip tha voice got to whls- pertn' stronger. 'Jimmy.' It aald, "you haven't aeen yer old mother for aeven years seven years, just think of It Never mind about yer stepfather, Jimmy, don't think of yer little differ ences with him. If he kicka yer again Ilka ha did before, don't take no no tice of him.' That waa tha luna It aang to me. Oh, yea, Gait la Johnny- on-the-spot when ha glvea lingo about tha voir. It gets you all right Tba one that called nie waa a sort of two-tboussod-mlls radios vole. While I was buxxln' about up round 8eattle I dltln't hear It but tha moment I atrurk windy Wellington, It fairly poured Into ma sound accumulators, and before we sighted Syduey Head I couldn't get any aleep at nights bersuse It kepi reproaching ma for atayln' away too long. Tha moment I tumbled on tha wharf, tha volca swirled ma up George street to tha railway elation. I bought a second-class ticket for Botirke, and then went across tha road to get some thing to eat before tha western mall polled out for Its run to the Darling. I couldn't ant ; felt aa If I had a bal loon In ma Inaldes, so I cama back tnd cursed tha porters until wa swung out All tha way up In tha train that voice made me sick with joy. The old bare gunitrees, the tl-tree scrub, the gray plains, tha duaty drovers, every bloomln' thing gnt tuggln' at me heart strings, sn' when I got out at Bourke I felt alt sore round tha ribs, like aa If soma one had been elammlu' ma with alxteen-ounce gloves. Maloney made a sound thst resem bled a suppressed sob, and Vleehlln looked at him curiously. "My dsd had been a 'a cockatoo se lector,' you know, Wa had a little patch between two big patches, and tha squatters on the two big lota hated dud Ilka poison. When ha died, moth er married McCarty, Just to bava a man round tha place to give back lip to tha boundary riders, and It was that little mean-eouled son of a gun who snapped my home cable an' net ma drlfUn la tha first place. How ever, tha volca told ma to forget IN that, an' I tried to. When I announced myself that evening ha pumped my right hand up an' down Ilka a feller that's tryln' to restore brt-sthln' In some guy who has ben wet, but I took It agreeable, an' you could hear tbe swlsb of the wlnga of peace when I waa telling about ma wanderings. Next duy that little knock-kneed hound of a stepfather asked ma to give him a hand In poleaxlng a steer, sod I agreed to whip tba pelt off Just to ahow hlin I hadn't forgotten the game. I was three parts through with tha job when the- door of the' shed opened end a mounted trooper covered me with his popgun. . Tba voice wasn't doing much railing at that minute. Too see, stepdnd hadn't a calf of hla own to kill In honor of my return, so he had grabbed one of the nearest squst ters an' thai cop caught ma red-handed Cattle dufllng had been getting too common an' they were watching round. The cop took me an' ho took stepdad, too, tied us one to each stirrup Iron. Thst wss pretty good luck for Me Csrty. They must hsva aeen I wsa In a bit of a temper, 'causa tbey put fs Into different cells, but there wss a little hola In the si aba, an' all through tha nlglit that old calf-stealer kept ssklng ma lo shoulder tha blame of tha whole show. They didn't catch me, Jimmy,' ha kept aaylng. over an over again. They only, caught you, Jimmy.' 'Wbat'a tha good of two of us going In! WboH look after ynr mother. Jimmy! Wholl shear tha sheept Who'll keep yer little brother at school, Jimmy r It wssut the voice thn't pulled me aboard tha steamer Wslrspa thst I heard that night He got ma that mad that I poked my finger In hla eye when ha waa looking through tha hole, an I got a little peace after that "Well, thai lurv believed McCarty. Tbey aent that old acoundrel bark home, and a new vole came to my ears. It wss the vote of the trail that called me day an' night for two years while I lay In Dubbo jail, sn' when I used to look at tha guards on tha wall I swore I'd never Imitate the prodigal eon again. Thoee were the three kinds of voice I beard, first the voice that calls you home tha one Gait was tellln' you about; secondly. the volca of that old calf-steeling cuss In Bourke lork-np; and thirdly, tha vole of the trail." Maloney broke tha silence. "Did yon go bark afterward" h asked. "Did IT cried Meehlln, tbe arm muscles hunching under tha aleevea ef his coat "No, I waa afraid, I was afraid that I might klU him or thst ha might kill another calf. One of tha two things might have happened, an' I would have got tha worst of tha deal I'm off" calve an' atepfathers for all time." Ha stood op. stretched his great frsme, and walked down to tba water front where craft of alt nations rocked n the yellow waters, their maata. like gigantic fingers, beckoning to stay at home folk to whom tba trail had never railed. Hollow Wooden Tabet at Portable Bridget At the highest altitude ever reached on earth, members of tha recent Mount Everest expedition crept s cross crev asses of Inconceivable depth on the rungs of a portable Udder. Of the many unusual bridge In the world. there la probably none possessing strength aa great for Ita weight as the remarkable ladder bridge carried by thee daring explorer. Tbe bridge waa made cspedslly by an English firm for ns at altltudea of 23,000 feet and upward, aaya Pop ular Rrlenr Monthly. In view of the difficulties of transport at these tre mendous heights. It waa essential that It should be extremely light and easily carried, Tp meet these requirements It wss constructed ot hollow wooden spars, put together with hinge In three sections, each of which could h used aa a separate unit Extended full length, the bridge measured 18 feet and weighed only 45 pounds. Stretched at full length, tha bridge could support two fully equipped climber, and when need In an upright position aa a ladder, each rung wss strong enough to support a concen trated weight of 800 pounds. This greet strength waa dua to the direc tion of tha grain and tha system of layers of wood of which tha hollow stick were mad.

For the first week tha orphan should have noma ewe's milk, if possible. A good way to get It la to take the lamb to tha ewes whose lamba are not yet old enough to take all tha milk. The orphan ahould ba fed milk often, but It ahould not be given a Inrje amount at one tlma until It I two or three week old. Upon the first day of It Ufa q ounce (two tablespoonfuls) 1 a lib eral feeding and It I eafer to feed only half that amount, but It should ba fed at least every two hour. It is uiuM vun.euici.t l frrd t'" milk from a bottle to' which la at tached a medium sited nipple of the swan-bill type. Tha bottle ahould be kept thoroughly clean and the milk ahould be fresh and at a natural tem perature; that la 100 degrees. In or der to maintain the temperature, the bottle containing the milk ahould be kept In a vessel partly filled with water heated to 100 degree or slight ly above. After the lamb I two or three week a old, tt la not necessary te feed It more than two or three time a day. Sometimes an ewe baa two lambs and only enough milk for one. In such a esse It Is usually possible to bring tha lamba along nicely by supplementing ber supply with cow' milk. A they learn to eat grain and bay, tha milk feeding can be gradually diminished and finally discontinued.
