One Kind of Emptiness.

Two hunters had “beaten” the trail along the marshes or Long Island for three dayß with an unusually small bag resulting. The food supply had run out much ahead of scheduled time; far worse, the “liquid ammunition” had been exhausted in the early stages of the hunt. After following the coast vainly for three hours, looking for some sign of habitation, they spied an empty house on the beach. “Go in and look it .over, Bill,” said one. He did so, returning in a moment empty-handed. “Anything in there?” asked his companion, expectantly. “Nope,” replied his running mate, with a profound sigh—“nothing but two empty bottles full of water.”— Everybody’s Magazine.
