HE WALKS.

■■ ■ ■ ■■ Charles RandaH Stalks aronnd the World on Foot. Among the passengers on the Mariposa is Mr. Cbarles Randall, • who has gained considerable notoriety by his uniqne under- i taking of "making the world” on foot. The "young pedestrian doesn’t do it all for love though. He has in true English style made a heavy bet, don't yer know, with some other cranks,j and he is now having a good | ; ehanee to win the money, and I more than pay for his shoer- i leather—that is. if he ever I reaches home. The game is very young yet. Mr Raudall left Liverpool on the 26th of January, and shou!d have l>een in San Francisco on the 26th of June. He didn’t get there owing to cramps iin his stomach or some other sligbt ailmeni, and his backers had to dig np $10,000 besides the doctor’s bill. But, as said above, j the game is very young. He will win a large sum if be ean walk back to Liverpool before January 1896. He has got to cross (throngh : the pest) Asia at large, trot| through Constantinople and the : Balkan, and pass the Austrian: poliee, French gendarmes, and| Dutch fisherwomen. The walk-l iug itself is not the most reraarkable featare of the young gentle-, man. The circumstances under i whieh he does it is the peculiar ■ feature in tho game. He carries no arms, no money, no letters of \ iutroduction. He is simply a stolid-looking, healthy, ycrung Englishman dressed in leggings, I rosy cheeks and a Stanley bat. j How the dence he could sleep at the Hotel, have suppor, breakfast i and diuner withont money is a conundrum, whieh we leave to abler men to solve. He might stay here and make a fortuue by taking a pateut on that part of his, business. Mr. Randall leaves j : for Sydney this afternoon. He ! “walks” thero on the Mariposa. 1
