the lure of the open road. Nowadays

’tins-' that drift from place to place—

your fanev. Forty-seven years ago
Will riurke, he seldom hears the name,
| started wondering-—looking for the
rainbow at the end of the trail—and
he is still looking, for don’t people

of h>s birth-place. Tit. Louis now, but
an open countryside then.
1 was born in St. Louis county,
Missouri, hut it’s ies St. Louis now,
for there ain’t no county no more. The
town tuk it up. When I was a kid T
lived on n farm 11 miles from the city
of St. Louis, but new that farm is a
nar* of the business section of South
St. L«nia. Or at least that’s what they
say. You see (with a ehuekle) I’m
from ‘misery’ (the Missouri brogue)
and have gotta see with these blinkers
for^it’s been finite a bit since I’ve
roved around that a’wav.” Time

•'illy interrunted hi-- dreams nhout the
wonders “down 1 hn M tssisfvopi “ for
|H half century i?n ho said the dream
of ovary hnv in his country wan to
sail down the Mipisippi to Now Or
la: ns which was considered tha jump
ing nlT place. One night his step moth
er became unbearable and the shrill
sirens of the steamboats plying tha
Mississippi too luring and he “snuck”
away from the house down to a boat
landing on “Steamboat Bill’s river.’
Easing himsoir on board he hid and
later, in the night managed to find
somethin.1* to cat and coffee when the
firemen became intoxicated. He was
pot ashore at Natchez and froiy Nat
chez an eager-eved hoy of 13 he'start
ed to fjjnlore the world—and he is
still exploring and always will from
the lively step a ho wandered out of
Shelby in the road leading to Marion,
and eventually to ‘ol Kaintuck’” which
•seemed to be his favorite state of the
■1S. He has visited 1.1 of the 48 hut
always steers clear of the New Eng
land states. “No biznea there too cold
in winters and summers too short.
Been to Massachusetts and on up and
all over Canada and down to old Mex
ico, but, I haven’t no hankering for
Rhode Island, Maine arid New Hamp
shire.” At least .30 of his 47 years of
rambling have been in Kentucky, Ten
nessee. Mississipni. Indiana, Louisiana
and Oklahoma. “The people there are
open-hearted with plenty of broken
parasols. Sorter like yer are here,” he
added.
Old Pals All Gone.
In bygone days, Burke recalled,
there were many “gentlemen of the
road,” the kind a fellow could ramble
with, sleep with and oat whatever was
to eat nit a fire beside the road. ‘But
them old follows are about gone now
and I mostly run ur> against scrummy
young unat'irts that would steal your
shoes.” In his memory followers of
the open trail carried little "bo tents',
a piece of canvas large enough to
shelter your head while asleep and
light enough to roll in “yer pack”.
Then a follower of the open road that
leads on and on and on had a number
of pals and every year or two, perhaps
five or ten, their traits crossed and a
long night by a camp fire would he
spent in reminiseenees and discussions
about unexplored territory, it new
trail, or something unique hack of the
road traversed.
In a way it is a lonesome road that
beckons ahead now for the 60-year-old
Missouri Irishman, but it beckons and
the lure >s just as strong as it was'
near a half century ago—and the
gritty mixture of a Missourian and
an Irishman will stick as long as there
is anything to stick to. Burke travels
anyway. He has ridden everything
from a steamboat to a mule, automo- 5
biles ami “economical transporters,” j
and would ride an airplane if offered |
a lift. He could settle down, be says, |
in cities like Charlotte or Winston
and make plenty of money—“but
when you’ve rambled 47 years you’ll
keep it up, and what’s money any
way,” he queried as he dug down in
the pocket of his striped trousers to
change the five-dollar bill tendered
him by a lady for a repair job on a
shield used in combat with Jupe Plu
vius. “I nllus do good work and I get
pleasure out of that. I never get any
kicks, nnd although I very seldom
come along the same way again I
know the job was alright.’ A rather
unusual way for a gray-haired wan
der to look at life, but what if every
man had stuck to his job and liked It
for 47 years—nnd was still sticking?
Back over the repair kit on his
shoulder as he ambled out of town
came the end of his story:
“I’ve tried to stop and settle down
many times, but I can’t. It keeps call
ing. Guess I’ll alius follow the open
road—till I hit! the end of the trail.’*
