sulked and grew so sour-tempered that
none of his neighbors would speak to
hfm And all just because he couldn't
have his own way and make Polly
Chuck do. something she didn't want
to do.
Now Polly didn't think that Johnny
would leave that splendid home Of which
he always had been so proud, =, She
didn't think he really would do it. When
he threatened to do it he didn't really
mean 1t. But the more he. sulked by him
self the angrier he grew. and the more
determined that he would show Polly
Chuck that he could get along nicely
without her. Finally he made up his
mind; to do it just to.spite Polly = i
Early the next morning Johnny Chuck
left the house without SO much as ia
backward look. Straight up through
the Old Orchard he marched until he
reached the other side from where his
house was. 1t seemed like q very long
journey to Johnny Chuck. for you know
it was a very long time since he had
gone more than a few feet from his own
doorstep. By the timeote reaciied ntAo
other side of the Old Orchard he was
hot and tired
Truth to teH. Johnny had the funniest
feeling inside. 1t was very much the
same feeling he. had had the last time
he left home and that. as you: know,
was when he was a very little, fellow
and started out to see the Great World.
That funny feeling was a feeling of
naughtiness. Yes. sir, that is what it
vas; Before he had run away from
Mother Chuck. Now he was leaving
Polly Chuck. He wasn't. exactly rum
ming away from her. but he was leaving
her. and the feeling was much the
same. You see. he didn't intend to 20
back. No. sir. Johnny Chuck didn't In
tend to go back. If Polly Chuck wouldn't t
come with him she could stay by herself
and he would live alone.

One Delegate to Convention Pro
poses Relief Of Hunger by
Desperate Means.

Austrian workmen. dying of starva-

yesterday say, recently sent delegates
to a convention in Vienna.
"An the delegates" say !; the dis
patches. declared that in certain
provinces the population was dying
of hunger. The death rate was enor-
nous and epidemics were raging
throughout the, country.
Delegate Wetenhoser said that at
.Gratz for the last three weeks the
population had not received any DO
tatoes or meat and only half ration
of bread. Delegate Pankaz, repre-
tsentipg swoEkmen's organisations at
Teplitz, also affirmed that children
Of six to ten years old were COM
PEELED to work at night In the glass
works SO as to procure the means
of buying food for their parents. The
mortality among these children was
enormous.
Delegate Schawel from Moravia
warned that there was absolutely no
coal to be had for the coming win

bruck declared in threatening tone
that in the face of. the helplessness
Of the government to solve the food
problems the workmen ought to OBJ

tcopyrisht. 1913. by 7. ". Burgess, !;

The trouble with Johnny Chuck was
that he didn't have enough to do. Yes.
sir. that is what the trouble was and
nothing else. Food was so plentiful
that he had hardly to leave his own
doorstep to get all he wanted; his children
were big enough to take care Of them
selves:s he had no work to do and no
cares to take up his time and thought.
And SO he imagined himself discomfort
ed with his home and everything about
him. 1t gave him something to think
about
Now. Johnny Chuck is obstinate.
Goodness me. he is about as obstinate a
fellow as I know. II he makes up his
mind to do or not to do a thing he is
not easily led to change it. Polly Chuck
is just as set in her ways. So when
Johnny Chuck made up his mind that
they should move and find another
down and declared that she wouldn't
move. there was bound t. be trouble.
For two whole days they didn't speak
to each other save to quarrel. Polly
Chuck told Johnny Chuck that he might
go just as soon as he pleased and that
she wouldn't try to stop him. After that
they didn't speak for q whole day.
Wasn't that a dreadful state of affairs?
1t is hard to believe that such thing
could happen right there in the beauti-
full Old Orchard with happiness all
about. But it did.
Polly Chuck came out of the house
only to eat her meals. Johnny Chuck
went into the house only to sleep. The
rest of the time he sat by himself and
