Aunt Mary" I called, as I left the
telephone, 81 am going out with
Eliene."
There was no answer, so 1 stuck
to the door. After listening a mo-
ment, I thought a heard her grooming
and pushed the door ajaT, and 1 saw
Aunt Mary with pain-drawn face
stretched on the bed.
why, dear Aunty, what is the
matter? Why did you not call some
One?"
Its nothing, Margie, it will pass
in little while; it usually does"
What IS the matter with you
have you been in this pain long and
have you ever had it before?"
asked, thoroughly ashamed that I
had not found out that Aunt Mary
was i'll. Let me send for the doc
tor"
81 think I'll be all right in a little
while. It's only a case Of indiges-
ton, guess"
But you must not guess about it,
dear; SOmetnmg must De done I'M
mediateIy to relieve you"
Aunt Mary's pain-thinned lips tried
to smile, but she was in such agony
that they became only a pale, trem-
bling line, tightly drawn across her
teeth.
81 have been waiting, dear, for you
to get well enough to go with me to
the doctor, and have a thorough eX-
animation" she said.
''Margie Waverly," said to my
self, "see what your selfish indul-
tgence and grief has done for one you
love so much. We will get ready and
go now if you are able,' said, cor
perhaps it would be best to have the
doctor come here"
81 don't feel quite well enough to
stand it today, dear"
''BIIt I am sure he will relieve YOU,

me-"
Nonsense, it's only an attack of
indigestion. what did you eat for 4
your breakfast"
"a cup of coffee and a piece of
toast"
The paroyXsm of pain was leaving
her, but as she lay there with only a
loose gown over her night dress,
saw that she had grown very thin.
There were great dark circles under
her beautiful eyes, and all her Wonted
color had left her face. She seemed
suddenly to have grown old, for the
first time she looked her IS years. All
at once the thought of her dying rip
ped my heart. My thoughts must
have written themselves on my face,
for Aunt Mary looked up and said,~
Eyes, MaTgie, l think the summons
has come, 1 am not afraid to die, but,
oh, I don't want to suffer, don't let
me suffer long"
''NOW, dear Aunt Mary, we neither
of us know anything about this. am7
going to call up DR.. Atwater, and
have him give you something to quiet
you now, and tomorrow we will have
some specialist that he will recon-
mend make a thorough examination
and diagnosis" 3
Neither of us, little book, put our
fears into the dread word cancer, butts
it was uppeTmost in the thoughts Of :
each, although it did not seem pOs--S
sible nor right that dear, dear Aunt,
Mary whose life had been a blessinges
to all that knew her should be tor-
tured and torn and then cast into thes
great nav of death. 8
81 won't think of it, I said to my-S
self as I went to call Dr.. AtwateT. Hea
came soon, looked very grave, gaVe#
her a hyperdermic of morphine which,
quieted her after little. What doS'
you think is the matter with her?" =
asked him as we left her sleeping.

FOURTH Of SERIES
WON BY GR|FEMEN
Score Five Runs in Third Con-
secutive Victory, While Red
SOx Are BIanked.
JOHNSON GOOD IN PINCHES,
is GIVEN STRONG SUPPORT
Gandil Has Big Day at Bat, While
Moeller and Milan Shut Off Runs
by Great Catches.
BY ]. ED GRILLo.

The Griffmen made it three out of
four from the Red Sox yesterday. in
flicting a shut-out on the visitors, while
they scored five runs off of Mays. who
opposed Walter johnson.
johnson was hit safely eight times,
the same number was charged against
Mays. but the latter was scored on be-
cause he allowed hits when they did
damage. while johnson was at his best
when danger threatened. Eleven of
the visitors were left on the bases. A
base hit at any one of no less than four
occasions would have meant runs for
the visitors. Behind Johnson his team
mates gave a splendid exhibition. Time
and again the Sox would threaten when
some player would crack out what ap-
peared to be safe hit, but the fielders
were always there to take the ball.
Moeller was particularly brilliant in
this respect, undoubtedly preventing
trouble in the third, when. after Hoop
er had singled, he came in, picked Wag-
ners line drive off of his shoe tops and
whipped the ball to first in time to
double up Hooper. The play retired
the side, as Mays had previously pop
ped up to Mcbride.
In the first inning Boston got a cou-
pie of men on before any one was re-
tired. Hooper was given a life bv Nc
Brides tumble and Johnson then walk
ed Wagner. He famed Speaker, how
ever. and after Lewis had flied to
Shanks he also famed Hoblitzel
Moeller's great catch of Wagner's
liner on which Hooper was doubled
saved things in the third. Lewis sin
gled in the fourth. taking second when
Foster threw poorly yet was left.
Hooper opened the sixth with hit and
after Moeller had grabbed Wagner's
drive Speaker forced Hooper at second.
Lewis then singled. but Hoblftzell pop
ped UP. In the eighth the Sox again
threatened, Speaker and Lewis sin
Cling with one out Hobby, however,
famed a second time and then Milan
made great catch of Janvrin's drive.
In the ninth Gardner started off with
hit and Henriksen, batting for Thorn
out Gafnor, another pinch hitter, and
then caused Hooper to force Henrik
sen at second, Wagner's long fly to
Milan ending the game.
Gandil was responsible for the first
run of the game. He singled in the
fifth, was sacrificed to second by Nor
gan, took third on Ainsmith's out and
then stole home. Gandil had wonder
full day hitting safely four times and
stealing a base every time he got on.
Mays started to ascend in the sew
son while at bat in this inning, but
gamely stuck to his task. Shanks
greeted him with a triple to right and
scored when Milan singled. Gandil also
hit safely, sending Milan to third and
he came home on an infield out.
Two more runs came in the eighth
which johnson started with double
