 Never have I know week 10 pass more swiftly than the one which followed Lillian's departure for her trip. With Katherine taking all the care of Junior off my hands, and with Katie rendering me her old time efficient aid. the moving from the hotel suite to the Riverside Drive apartment and the settling of our belongings there were accom- plished in record breaking time and with no furry.
 At once We established a peaceful daily routine. Nine o'clock saw us at breakfast, dressed for the days work. Then Junior proudly escorted Katherine and me 10 a downtown omnibus, and while l alighted at the public library they continued the ride to Washington Square and back to the apartment. The rest of their day when it was pleasant was mostly occupied in exploring the park which lies below the drive. Katie's days were a routine Of marketing. cook ing and cleaning, and her evenings, with an occasional afternoon. she spet at her beloved movies, My little maid fairly bubbled over with joy at being with us again. Junior was ecstatic over the long hours in the outdoors which had been denied him during the rigorous winter at the hotel, and even Katherine relaxed into something very like content ment, apparently forgetting the tor turing problem which awaited her when Hal Meredith should bring Lucia into the city.
 But not one of them was so happy as I. In all the realm of emotion there is no thrill quite comparable to that of the woman once a factor in the professional world, then vol untarily or involuntarily banished from it, who sees prospect ire turn to the fascinating realm of creative effort.
 True I had no certainty of such a prospect so far as any definite arrangement was concerned. But through all the years of my friend ship with her I have learned to de- pend absolutely upon Lillian's prom ises.
 will you leave it all to me-" she had said, the .ast thing before we parted upon the memorable night which marked Philip Veritzen's en- thusiastic approval of Mary Morri- son and his signifed intention of accepting the girl as protegee. All through my week of intensive study

.ot medieval history at the public library l rested upon that implied promise. My fancy played with the
 vista opened up before me by other sentences of hers and by a curious little pantomime l had witnessed when she and l had walked with Philip NeritZen to the parkway across from the apartment. Every little while, flashing across the page .of some curious old tome Into which
 was deIving in my search for medieval lore, would come the pie lure of Lillian and MT. Veritzen nod .ding at each other like mandarins after my friend had told him that .Charlemagne was one of my obses- .sions and that l was what she dub
 bed "sharkess" upon the old-time emperor and the period in which he lived. I even could hear Lillian's
 voice saying, "Yes, I think so, too, Phil"
 Nainly I tried to curb my imagin-
 alton. to tell myself that the famous theatrical producers interested, speculative look at Lillians refer 'ence to my mediaeyal lore meant nothing definite. But I could not banish the belief that when Lillian should return from her trip there would be inaugurated an entirely new scheme of life for me, one which would enable me to share, even if humbly, in the work Of the .stupendous pageant drama around .the figure of Charlemagne which Philip Veritzen was planning.
 was too honest with myself, how ever, to dodge the knowledge that
 the personal equation which Philip Veritzen presented was factor in the fascination which work with him presented to me. I could not stifle the belief that something other than
 casual curiosity and interest had been mirrored in his eyes during the
 rather odd encounters which had been ours. Nor could I deny that
 my own interest had been unusually stirred by the handsome, romantic figure around which so many Broad-
 way legends hung Therefore I was
 not displeased. though surprised, when uhon the last day before l Lillians' return, a dark, drizzly
 morning which necessitated leaving Junior and Katherine in the apart
 ment, I was halted upon my way 10 the omnibus by Philip Veritzen's
 voice proceeding fro mthe interior of his luxurious town car.

 Causes of Illness

 The term sunstroke is used to de- note a sudden attack of illness from exposure or prolonger exposure 10 inc rays of the sun. The same con- dition may be produced by exposure to high temperature In close quar- .tcrs.
 Stokers laboring in the suffocating heat before the furnaces in the depths of our ocean steamers are frequently affected by the heat. Men Idebilitated from or addicted 10 the excessive use of stimulants are more iapt to suffer than those of temperate l habits.
 sunstroke occurs in two forms; heat stroke or heat fever as it IS Isometimcs called, in which the tenn Iperature of the body is very high. and heat prostration, or heat exhaus- Ition, in which the surface of the body is cold. sometimes consider Iably below normal. Different treat Imcnts are required,
 In sever cases of heat stroke the patient may be stricken down and rendered unconscious, Some cases have been known 10 die instantly, Iothers have died within an hour or two.

 The thermometer may register 1Q5 IJeErees Fahrenheit or more. The lpuIse in such cases IS usually full land may be slow or last, Breathing lis labored. A patient so stricken may soon become unconscious. The stupor docpers and death may occur In q hours or the temperature may ldrop. consciousness may return, and the patient may recover,
 In heat prostration the surface of Ithe body IS cold. the pulse rapid and variable and there is feeling as ot Iseasiclsncss.
 There may be only slight faintness and nausea and under prompt treat 'ment the patient may rapidly re- |cover, but remember that cases or Iheat prostration are also serious. |Thera may ne a complete loss of con Iscfousnoss and a rapid and fatal termination from exhaustion. Heat Cramps
 Another condition which develops lin hot weather is known as neat cramps. Painful spasms of the mus Icles, especially those of the abdo- men and limbs may occur when per sons exposed 10 high temperatures are required 10 perform hard labor.

An attack of heat cramps may last from 12 to 24 hours and ever after the patient becomes quiet spasms may be brought on again by slight stimulation such as a cold draft or ia sudden movement. The muscles arc sore and the patient IS usually weak and listlcss for several days following heat cramps.
 In cases of heat. stroke. you should realize the importance of summon ing a physician at once. The temper lature of the body should be re- duced as rapidly as possible, The pa uent should be placed in q cold vater bath and ice should be added; it is sometimes advisable to rub the

BlIt she couldn't.


 Little things kept happening that reminded her of him constantly.
 There was her birthday, for in- stance.
 Always on her birthday which came on the tenth of May. she and Ranny had gone on a picnic to- gether-just the two of them,
 They had usually cooked their own supper out of doors somewhere in the woods or on the beach of Pundersen Lake. Steak and onions or fried chicken and potatoes; and "afterward they had sat beside their fire while Ranny smoked a pipe or two and Sylvia sang to him in her clear. sweet soprano that all of Aunt Agony's friends had admired so much.
 She would miss that birthday picnic this year.
 She happened to mention it to Peter Wilk one Saturday afternoon when he came to the library to beg her to go for an automobile ride rather wistfully Peter thought.
 I'll tell you-Ill give you a pie nic," he said. T won't inflict n.y. self upon you, though. If it's all right with you I'll ask that wild crowd of yours and we'll have a steak supper out in the woods, some- where, that night. You pick your place and I'll do the rest"
 Fair enough!" agreed Sylvia, but there was no brightness in her voice.
 How could she tell Peter that she didn't want to go on his picnic She couldn't, so she said. You're a dear" instead, and was amazed at the slow, painful blush that reddened his face and disappeared into the top of his collar.

HARD TO FOOL

Age and service don't appear to dim
the batting eyes of the big league
star.
And, with the exception of the slug
gers of the Ruth type, most of the
veterans are mighty hard to strike
out
In the American League Joe Sewell
was the toughest batter to whiff last
season, striking out only four times.
and Eddie Collins, despite 20 cam
paigns in the big show, was second
striking out only eight times.
Collins has a great eye, isn't both

Collins has a pet superstition which
no religiously follows relative to
sariking out. When he steps to the
plate he always has a wad of gum oil

he gets two strikes on him he puts il

RUBBER-BAT RICE


While Sam Rice has keen pair OF
eyes, he doesn't get anywhere near
the bases on balls one would expect.
This might be explained by saying
that once Sam gets the pitcher in the
hole he begins picking on every Grip
Pile, cuts at every ball thad looks good
enough to hit.
Rice, with his great speed and the
fact that he seems to be in motion as
he hits the ball, is a most dangerous
batsman. He gets what often appear
to be fluke hits, due to these assets.
In American League circles oppos-
ing players refer to Rice's bat as be-
ing made of rubber. When he steps to
the plate one often hears the remark
"Wel, let us get old Rubber bat !
Due to the fact that he is hard to
fool, hits lots of balls after they seen
almost past him, Rice gets man5

CLOSE CONTEST
FROM BEES, 81

FL Paso made it two straight over
the Bisbee Bees at the Pass city Sat
urday by winnin ga close to bat
tie. A wild heave to first by Kucera
in the ninth allowed Speck to score
from third with the winning run.
El Paso jumped into 2 to / lead
and held it until the fifth inning
when the Bees drove stanton off the
hill, scoring four runs on hits.
The Giants came back in their turn
to forge into the lead again, scoring
four counts. Munns, who replace
Stanton, pitched hitless ball for three
innings but weakened in the ninth
and gave way to Underhill.
Weiss went eight innings for Bis
bee and was hit timely, giving up the
burden to Lee in the ninth.
Eel Paso won the game when Speck
opened the ninth with single to
right and was sacrificed to second by
Meyers. Jamski hit an easy roller to
Kucera who made a nice stop but
threw wild to first allowing Speck to
come home with the deciding run.
Bisbee showed strong team but
as usual played into hard luck, being
unable to bunch their hits. Dorman
and Moore starred for Bisbee with
their hitting, while Routh for El Paso
was the fielding star of the game,
getting IL chances without a boot.
Jamslxi and Speck with three hits
each led with the willow. The breaks
helped the Giants throughout.
