The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

' Chapter 1. ' TWO CHUMS. No two girls ever looked less alike than Ruth 0Neil and Myra Weed, yet no two girls were ever greater friends Ruth, who was the more romantic of the two. liked to think that their

friendship was Ideal in every way. and she quite adored the golden-haired, gray-eyed girl with whom she had played and studied for years. Myra responded to Ruth's adoration, but in quite a different way. She appreciated her chum at least she appreciated her usefulness. In school, for instance, it was Ruth who dug for the hardest problems, who managed to conjugate the most irregilar verbs, and who trained Myra in these essentials when an examination was imminent. To Myra, skipping merrily over the surfaces of life, Ruth was a fine, substantial rock to cling to. And this, both girls decided, was to go on forever and forever! It is so easy for 18 to spell "forever!" "We'll have a house together, Ruth," Myra often said. "We can take one of those two-story brick cottages on Hill street you know they rent awfully cheap." "Are they? how much?" Ruth, the practical minded, looked up from her Virgil.

Myra mentioned the rent some

thing like $S a month. For in those

days rents were not what they are today, and Marketown, Pa., where the girls lived, was a small place with low taxes. "That's cheap, you know," Myra

went on. "There's a bit of yard in, front and quite a large one in back, enough to bleach clothes in and to have a little vegetable garden and there are five rooms in each bouse. Father says the rents are low because so many people are going to the big cities to work, and it drains the small towns." The two were . silent for awhile. "The . big cities" that was a magic phrase. Each one longed with all her heart to spend some time in one large city their dreams took them sometimes to Chicago,, sometimes as far as far as San Francisco, or to Eoston or Philadelphia especially when they were studying American history. But mostly, perhaps it was New York that called themNew York which was near enough so that even little Marketown felt faintly its cosmopolitaji vibrations. "I see mother letting me go oft housekeeping by myself or with you," Ruth said, with a little laugh, as she turned the page of her book. "But wouldn't it be fun? We could give little parties and have the boys down sometimes and " Myra's voice trailed off. She was picturing rapturously and independent existence. "Without your small brother to come around and tease you," Ruth s-aid, filing out the thought, if not the sentence. And the difference here this conversation happened when both girls were barely 17 was that Myra quite believed it would come true, whereas Ruth knew that it wouldn't, that neither conventional family would content to their daughters setting up a separate establishment, even if it could be afforded. . However, as it neared the time for them to graduate from the high school, dreams of a home together were superseded by definite talk as to college. Ruth's father has always talked vaguely about "when you go to college," and it was not until a few months before graduation that Ruth realized that this, too, was only another one of the dear man's visions. H3 had ?o many and such beautiful ones all of the thins-s they were to

go and he made them so real, that Ruth was quite grown up before she knew they were only a sort of fairy tale that he lived and that she bad been living with him. "You'll go, of course," Ruth Baid. "Your father wants you to and it is no question of money. I can't. That's flat. Even father admits it now " I won't go if you don't." Myra said. "Why, Myra, of course you wilL Think of such a chance!" "But don't you miss me?" Myra almost 'sounded childish in her question. "Miss you! Dear, you know I will," Ruth's arms were around her in a quick, warm embrace. "But I'll be glad you can go to college " "No, I won't go unless you can. That's flat too. I will tell mama." So that matter ended. For Myra had her way in a surprising number of cases where usually it is the elders

who decid And Ruth took it for the greatest piece of self-sacrifice on her chum's part, and adored her for it, even though she felt wretched that the girl should give up such an opportunity. It never occurred to her that Myra had any reason for her decision but the loyol one of wishing to keep her company at home. So with never a cloud in the smiling sky of their friendship, the days flew by, almost up to the very day of the graduation itself. Myra, busy with the elaborate dresses her mother was having made for her, barely got through the tests only did so, in fact, because of the late hours that Ruth

sat up to help her. "Who is taking you to the dance," Myra asked the dance followed the graduation exercises. "Oh, Tim, I suppose," Ruth answered, her blue eyes softening as she mentioned the name. Myra said nothinga queer little smile went over her face. , But Ruth was so intent on her-' book that she did not notice it.

Heart Problems

girls sixteen year of age. Why do we never have any dates when all of our classmates have them very often? We are not homely, neither are we beautiful. 'Our parents would not object to our having company. ,DOT AND DASH. Surely you are exaggerating when you say all. of your classmates have dates. If you study the situation, I think you will find that a few of all the girls have them. At the age ot sixteen you cannot expect attention from boys because you are too young to have "sweethearts and most boys of your age are ashamed to show an interest in girls. Wait a year or two and conditions will change, I believe. Betty": Write a note to the young man inviting him to the dance. It would be better that way than to telephone.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am twentytwo years old and married. We have been married four years this July and have two dear children. My husband and I cannot be happy together although I try my best to do what is right in every way. There are others that tell him things that are not true about me and he is easily led to believe what others say and will not believe me, at all. Do you think I should stick up for my

self when I know I ought to, or let him believe what be hears? Will you answer me personally if I send a self-addressed and stamped envelope? UNHAPPY. It is certainly a great problem to know just how much to try' to please a husband. Some women try too hard and others do not try enough. I think you should stand up for yourself, but I would not advise you to waste many words arguing. Close your lips and let him do all the talking when the conversation becomes unpleasant. It Is very difficult to talk matters over; usually the right words refuse to come and the purpose of the talk is defeated. Perhaps it would help to write a letter, saying that you believe in him and want him to have faith in you. Say that your future happiness together depends upon the confidence you can place in each other. To have the word of outsiders believed when you are telling the truth naturally hurts deeply. I will answer you personally if you send a self-addressed and stamped envelope. TVar Mrs. Thompson: We are two

RAIL WRECK

(Continued from Page One.)

wooden coaches of the Michigan Central train were scattered for 50 yards. Passengers In the four coaches ot the Michigan Central train behind the death cars, were unhurt except. for the shake-up, and all of the passengers on . the New York Central escaped, climbing down from their cars through the wreckage. Wounded In Head. Most of the identified dead and the eeriously injured were from Indiana and southwestern Michigan. For no reason that railroad officials could assign, almost all of the dead taken to the little morgue at Chesterton, across the tracks from Porter, received their fatal wounds in the head. Some were decapitated, accounting for the failure to identify nine of the bodies taken there up to

six o clock. Die In Ambulance. The first group of those critically injured were rushed in an ambulance to Michigan City, Indiana, and two of them died on the way. Railroad officials expressed the belief carjy today that all of the others injured would recover. Hospitals and private homes at Michigan City and Gary received the injured. Preliminary investigation and the handling of the identifications at the Chesterton morgue were taken over early today by Coroner Seipel, of Val

paraiso, Ind., assisted by Division Superintendents McKee, Wright and Markay ,of the Michigan Central. Employes Missing. Records of the Michigan Central train disclosed a large number of railroad employes, traveling on passes, scheduled to go on the wrecked train, hut they could not be located in the Chesterton morgue. Efforts of volunteer doctors and nurses from Michigan City and Gary to rush the injured to hospitals led to confusion in the check of railroad officials upon the list of casualties, but it was believed the total would not exceed 35. The speed of the New York Central train, while fatal to' passengers in

the two death cars, saved the passengers In the rear coaches of both trains from worse than a severe jolting. Find Bodies of Crew. Bodies of Engineer Claude Johnson of Elkhart, Ind.. and Fireman George Deland of Elkhart, engine crew of the New York Central train, were recovered early today from beneath the tangled mass of iron to which their engine was reduced by the impact. Engineer W.- F. Long of Jackson. Mich., and Fireman George Block of the Michigan Centarl train, of Michigan City, Ind., were able to save themselves, their engine being far beyond the point of the collision. "I was not to blame," Towerman

Cook told an Associated Press representative at his home in Charleston early today. "1 .threw the distant block AGAINST "the; Michigan Central train. I threw the block '. two miles back from the crossing. I do not know why they failed to catch the signal," , Representatives of the Indiana railroad commission were expected on the scene early today, to start the state's angle of the investigation. An official statement Issued from the office of the chief dispatcher of the Michigan Central engine crew apparently failed Co observe that the crossing signal was set against them.

A statement by towerman J. C. Cook on duty at the crossing, declared the

block two miles away was set against!

the Michigan Central train while the track was left clear for the New York Central. Railroad officials at the scene of the wreck said Engineer W.

F. Long of Jackson, Mich., who escap-; ed unhurt, declared he bad received !

a clear signal and had checked it with !

his fireman. He left early today for his home. Train Crashes Through. When the Michigan Central train struck the derailer six hundred feet from the crossing, it was the first indication he had of the impending crash. Long is said to have stated. From that point the eight coaches of the Michigan Central train bumped along the ties, coming to a standstill with the third and fourth coaches at the intersection of the tracks, and an instant later the New York Central train burst through. All except the two baggage and mail cars of the New York Central train re
