ANYTHING BUT WORK.
BY Frank A. Gotch, Worlds Wrestling Champion

More men than would be willing to ad-

to be at the ringside with roofing and

just an ordinary man physically. and he
had about as much shape as a short Or

ran high.

Smithkins he was trfle more poddy

this noise start?"

but they were better than nothing. After
while he felt better and he curled up
in a warm. sunny spot to rest and think.
You See he just couldn't get that chicken

chicken was half eaten, and he knew
that it wasn't likely that Farmer Browns

strange voice, which wasn't the voice OF

of a little yelping dog, yet sounded some
thing like all three together. So Bobby's
stomach wasn't as full as usual, and he
felt cross and uncomfortable. You know

Bobby didn't answer. He kept perfect

he was asleep. But Reddy kept right on
calling. Finally Bobby scrambled up to
the doorway of his house in the big hol-
