Johnny Chuck'S case Old Mother
Nature has fixed things 80 that the

needs only very little at time
during the winter, because you know
Johnny is asleep: curled UP quite
motionless A great deal OF the
food We eat is used up in what is
called energy. which is the power of
moving about and doing things. You
know how II is when you are sick
and cannot eat In a little while you
have no strength 10 move. You are
very weak. But II you didn't have
to move at all you could live a long
time with very little food because
none OF II woull be used for energy
II Is the same way with Johnny
Chuck Sleeping and lying perfect
" still he needs no food for energy
and so his body gets all II needs
by absorbing 1t from the fat Alb
sorbing means taking In the way a
sponge soaks up water.

We'll, it's hot as Hades up here
III go down and have smoke and
cool off while you potter around"
Fortunately the guestroom had
its own bath, and Helen was soon
in tub of cooling water.
While in relaxing WEAKNESS she
lay there, her idle glance traced a
long crack in the painted wall. She
! had noticed a similar crack in the
papered ceiling of the dining-room.
And yet Mrs. Barclay had repeat
cdly insisted that the house was so
we'll built"
When she was ready for bed, a
murmur of voices came from the
porch below. If Warren was down
there with Mr.. Barclay, he might
stay another hour. She turned out
the lights, for they only added to the
heat
The bed was by the window.
Musingly she gazed out at the dark
country road occasionally lit by the
sEearchlight OF a passing motor.
There is nothing more firing than
visiting" and Helen, thoroughly
exhausted, soon dozed off to the
murmurous treble o. the tree frogs
A slamming door and the glare of
disturbing light.

Warren was standing before the
dresser unbuttoning his collar.

shading her blinking eyes.

with reminiscent grin. Barclays

MOI Helen sat up in bed, now
thoroughly awake.
yep. That's why they shot off
all that hot air and dragged us over
every inch of the blooming place"
But they're wild about it! Why
should they want to sell it?"
| "Shsh, not so loud-thcse walls
are pretty thin. He put it square
up to me, and l had to do some
mighty quick sidestepping. Didn't
want to turn him down too hard.
After your fool gushing over every
thing-he thought he had snap"
But why" persisted Helen.
"Oh, he strung a long yarn about
needing the money in his business.
they really couldn't afford it. OF
course that's all bunk. He's sick
of the place and wants to dump it.
That's why they've been trying to
get us out here all spring-the whole
| things a frame-up.
Mono, I cant believe she wants
him to sell"
You can't eh? Well, she came
out while we were talking-had her
part down pat. She threw in lot
Of slush about it breaking her heart.
but since they had to sell. she'd
rather we'd have it than any one
else"
With a contemptuous grunt War
rem disappeared in the bathroom,
while Helen, still sitting up in bed,
tried to digest this astounding piece
OF news.
Dear. I can't understand it,
when he came out.
Got an elephant on their hands
and want to unload it, that's all"
as the bed creaked under his weight.
"But they tackled the wrong party"
with a chuckle. "I'1l be pretty far
in my dotagc before anybody'll wish
a country place on me. More heat,
more mosquitoes and more discom-
forts to the square inch-"
Eyes, this rooms sitting" admit
ted Helen. There's not a breath of
air"
"And we've got to get up in time
to catch that 7:4o. Darn glad |
don't have to catch it every morn
ing" adjusting his pillow with a
vicious punch. "You can thank your
stars we're cooped up in city apart
ment-with none of the comforts
OF country life!'

GASHES SONS HAND TO

st. Louis, Mo, June 4.-Anton Skrivan
of University City, a baker. admitted he
had cut a deep cash between the first and
second fingers on the. right hand of his
son. John. IL years old. to prevent him
from playing marbles.
The father was arrested by Chief of
Police John Willmann, of University
City. and an information charging feloni-
ously wounding was issued by Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney F. w. Brooks of
Clayton.
He was returned to University City
and warrant issued against him.
The cut was three-quarters of an inch
long. The boy tied up his hand and went
to the Bartner School. where he is
pupil. The boy neglected to wash the
dishes, so as to play, the father said.

SsN TOVE your chair farther out,
M Mrs. Curtis, you'll get
more air."
Helen dragged over the wicker
chair until the rockers scraped the
wire netting that screened in the
long side porch.
We always get a breeze out
here" declared Mrs. Barclay, who
had spent most of the afternoon
dllating on the advantages of their
country home. Now isn't this bet

INJURED Helen, who had conscien-
hously played the part of an ad-
nlrIng, enthusiastic guest.
How about mosquitoes" War
rem was scratching his ankle.
"Oh, Howard will leave that
screen door open! But they're no
worse than they are in town. Mr..
Phillips was out last Sunday-he
said he'd been almost eaten up in
his apartment"
The cooling darkness had relieved
somewhat the glaring heat of the
Gay, but the air was still close and
sultry, and the breeze" of which
Mrs. Barclay boasted, had to be in
cessantly stirred by palm leaf fans.
Barclay, what time did you say
that train VENT" Warren reached
over to knock the ashes from his
cigar.
well, tomorrow I've got to get
the 7:4o, but you don't have to 60
that early. Why don't you take the
8:Io?"
"Oh, no, we'll go in with you,"
suPpressing a yawn as he glanced
at his watch by the dim light from
the dining-room.
"Wouldn't you like to see the
cellar before you go up?" sug-
gested Mrs. Barclay. "You won't
have time in the morning"
"Oh, I'd love to-" lied Helen,
wondering if she could marshal her
overworked adjectives to a proper
appreciation Of the cellar.
Since their arrival on the noon
train Mrs. Barclay had dragged her
through every room in the house,
expatiating on the comforts and
cOnveniences of her home, while
Helen had kept up a continuous
murmur of:
How attractivel How very con-
venient! You really have charm
ing house! Oh, what a delightful
view! Yes, this is such a pleasant
room! What lovely big closets Oh,
what a cheerful maids roomw
When she had gushed over the
kitchen, pantry, back porch and gar
den, she felt she had done her full
duty, but here was the cellar still
to be explored.
