FOR LOVE By Ruby RUBY M.

"She was all right when Calligan
left" he said. There was rough,
uniformed suspicion in his mind: he
moved toward the table. "You don't
mind II l sit down as l amp
MY dear, OF course, not"
Philip moved his place round so
that he sat beside his mother. A
servant brought soup. but he re-
fused 1t.

Oh, very well''-as his mother protest
ed. Give me cut from the
roast. :"
The maid withdrew. Philip lean
ed back in his chair with a sigh; he
looked round the silent room, and
his eyes came back to his mothers
face with a sort OF pathetic tender
ness.
different from what II used to
be. eh?" he said. with an effort.
Yes :" Mrs. Winterdick's
face quivered: she raised her eyes

There was a little silence; then
she said:
Phillip, do you remember the
night you told us that you were
going to be married?"
Yes"

That | begged you"
Philip interrupted:
"Mother-please stop. What's the
use of going back to all that? l
don't want to hear anything about
1t. L" he broke off as the servant
re-entered.
He only made a pretense of eating
the dinner served to him; as soon
as he could be rose to leave the
room. Mrs. Winterdick followed him.
Philip, l want to speak to you"
He hesitated; he knew so well
what was coming. but he shrugged
his shoulders, and followed his
mother to the drawing-room.
"Well-hre away" he said lacon-
ically.
He stood with his back to the
empty fireplace, staring up at the
ceiling.
Mrs. winterdick crossed over to
him and linked her arm in his.
once upon a time you used to
tell me all your troubles. Phil" she
said sadly.
He bit lip: the arm beneath hers
suddenly stiffened: then he bent
and kissed her lightly.
Il should tell you now, mother
mine-if had any troubles"
You mean that you are-duite,
quite happy?" she asked slowly.
"Of course! At least" He
released himself from her roughly.
Happy! 1t all depends what you
mean by that! / suppose I'm as
happy as / deserve to be-" He
walked away step and came back,
looking down at her sad face fond
ly. "What brick wall are you UP
against now?" he asked whimsi-
cally.
She put her arms round his neck,
holding him so that he could not
move; she looked earnestly into his
unhappy face.
"Phil-why won't you tell me the
TRUTH" she said painfully
He tried to protest--trled to in
sist that there was nothing to tell,
but somehow he felt as IL he could
not keep up the wretched farce of
pretense any longer; he broke out
passionately:

MENINGITIS
A MENACE
By Brice Belden, MD

~ NE of the acute infec,Ious
diseases to which children
are susceptible is spinal
meningitis" (cerebrospinal fever),
1t is very often fatal, about fifty
five per cent of the patients at
fected with the disease dying as a
result of IT. The chief center Of
attack is the nervous system.
Spinal meningitis is caused by a
germ which enters the system
through the nose and throat. The
germ is passed on by contact with
some infected person and in many
cases. by people known as car
riers." These carriers are ap-
parently in good health. but they
carry the germs of spinal menin-
gifts in the secretions of the nose
and throat.
Thus one of the most important
factors in the prevention of cpl
denies of this deadly disease is the
following up. of the carrier and see
ing that he does not engage in any
occupation through which he might
spread the infection, as in the case
of those handling food stuffs.
Another important preventive
measure is the isolation of any
case of spinal meningitis or any
case suspected to be such. All
those in direct contact with the
patient should be very careful in
their habits and should be watched
by the local health authorities.
Among the children who recover
from the disease there are a num-
Der who suffer polonged disability
and in many cases the damage may
be permanent and incurable.
Spinal meningitis attacks the GEN.
trail nervous system, and the symp-
toms are high fever. headache,
backache, prostration and later in
the course of the disease. the pa
tient has convulsive seizures.

CROUCH" he began.
The train was moving swiftly
now: a moment. and Calligan was
carried beyond reach.
Philip drove home modify; he
was angry because his friend had
gone. and angry because he knew
that he had driven him away.
He dreaded the thought OF the
house without him. and now IL his
mother went away also. as she had
talked OF doing, II would mean
that he and Eva were left entirely
alone.
With each passing day life SEEM
ed more crudely impossible; with
almost every hour young Win
terdick realized more acutely that
he could not continue to live as
he had done during the past fort
night.
He drove home the longest way:
he felt sorely tempted to stay out
altogether; what was there to go
home for? The old house was no

his son.
He came home through the viii
lage; as he passed the Arlingtons
house he saw Kitty standing there
at the gate with Peter Dennison.
He glanced at them, raised his
hat unsmllingly and passed.
The incident irritated him and
set him brooding.
Did Kitty mean to marry that
boy? 1t was not that Philip cared
in the least wr%m she married,
but he was still conscious of
sort of resentment in his heart
against her.
II she had played the game and
been what he thought her to be he
would never have been landed in
this mess. As II was, he was mis-
cradle, the sunshine of life seemed
to have been wiped clean out or
the horizon on his wedding morn
ing; he had lost interest in every
thing; even his beloved tennis
had gone to the wall; only that
morning he had looked at his
raquet and wondered why on
earth he had ever been so keen
on the rotten game; there was
only one thing now in all the
world that mattered. and 1T was
beyond his reach.
Philip, agitated by his wife's de-
meanor. and irritated by the sight
OF Kitty again. left his car. in the
drive at the Highway House and
went in.
a maid informed him that dinner
had been ready some time, and that
Mrs Winterdick had not waited.
Philip was amazed; he looked at
his watch and found 1T was past
eight! Until then he had had no
idea how the time had flown.
He went straight to the dining
room; his mother was there alone.
Philip stopped in the doorway;
he had begun to apologize, but
broke off.

ruptly.
"She had headache; she asked

special Dispatch To The Tribune

CINCINNATI, Aug. 1-Pasting the
offerings of Cliff Markle, the former
Yankee, with fair degree of effective
ness, the Giants won the last game
of the series with the Reds to-day by
score Of to q, and obtained an even
break on the set. The victory enabled
McGraw's team to remain just a game
back of the Pirates, who won from the
Braves.
Three Giant pitchers were used.
Fred Toney pitched six ipnings and
gave way to pinch hitter. "Slim"
Sallee relieved Big Fred and remained
in the box unit the ninth inning, when
he stepped down for Jess FArnes TO
pitch to one batter in a pinca.
The Reds were first to score and
then shared two runs in the third inn

double to right and Groh sent both
men over the plate with q single to

KelIy's Triple Wasted
The Giants passed up chance for

left. In the sixth the visitors man

This run was nullified by one which

Three hits and a base on balls re-
suited in only one run for the Giants
in the ninth. Sallee, Burns and Ban

struck out, but Markle wabbled long
enough to walk Young, forcing Sallee
over the plate. Then he frightened up
and retired the side without further
scoring.
Reds Rally in Ninth
In their half the Reds gave the
Giants scare by scoring one run and

ST. LOUIS, Aug. Jumping on Jess
Haines in the ninth inning for two
doubles, two singles and pass, and
profiting run on a wild pitch by Bill
Sherdel, the Brooklyn Dodgers scored
i've runs in the ninth inning to-day and

the Cardinals had won the first three
games of the series.
The Cardinals got dying start when

Southpaw Sherrod Smith went to the
rescue and stopped the scoring in the
first, but was slammed for eleven hits
and four runs, giving the Cardinals a
total of seven UP to the ninth inning.
The Dodgers made nine hits and
three runs off Haines up to the ninth
and were playing bad ball in all direc-
tions. They had only two errors charged
against them, but their mistakes in
judgment had been numerous and they
appeared hopelessly lost when Myers
opened the ninth with a double to right

Haines's favor.
Ray Schmandt tried TO come back to-

Janvrir flied to Mann.
Mitchell pitched the ninth for Brook

ball. Schultz fouled to Janvrin. Lavan
had two strikes called, when he raised
fly to Janvrin back of first. Janvrin
reached the ball, but fell down and
muffed. Jack Smith. who was running
for McHenry, started with the crack
of the bat when Lavan popped, and
when he saw the muffed ball roll away
from Kilduff tried to score all the way
from first. Kilduff picked up the ball
