The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM ' '

Chapter 10 ONE EVENING , ' Though Dr. Lane had given Duncan O'Niel no medicine, he himself seemed to have had a tonic effect upon that littte gentleman. For when Ruth tapped on her father's door the next morning - his - voice - sounded much healthier than it had for days. Ruth went in with the breakfast tray and began arranging the meal as daintly as possible on the little table by the bed. "How chaming it looks how charming you look," he said, surveying first then table, then his daughter. "You always remember to bring flowers you serve me in style though I were a millionaire." "We're rich in flowers," Ruth answered, unconscious of the irony in her words. She had pulled the glorious spray of tiny golden chrysanthemums and put them in a long glass

vase and placed this with the breakfast things. "Any mail?" O'Niel always asked

this casually, as though he were In the habit of receiving a great many letters every morning. "Only a note from Tim Turner for me," Ruth answered. "He's coming around tonight I suppose to say goodbye. He is going to the city, too." She tried her best to keep her voice natural but it was a pathetic attempt. Duncan O'Niel, cutting the end from his egg he always ate it Continental fashion looked up at Ruth. She stood there so tall and slim in her faded gingham dress, so finely intelligent, and so young and tragic! O'Niel put down his knife and took her hand. "Never mind Ruthie, it will come out all right. I feel 60 much better I shall get up in the morning. And in a few weeks I'll get about and start earning money " "No, no, you mustn't you know what happened when you tried that." Ruth was all terror now. For' time and and again Duncan O'Niel had gone against his physician's orders and had forced himself to effort by sheer will power, only to collapse and suffer the more for it in the end. But after that Ruth shook off, her depression, outwardly at least. She did the errands that morning, and cleaned the second floor rooms that afternoon, and found time to sit with her father on the porch, each rolled in coats as protection against the chill of first October days. And that evening Tim came at 8 o'clock. "Let's walk over to Grey's for ice cream," he suggested. Every time he came he made that same suggestion. And every time Rulli agreed with the same quick smile. After all. Grey's was the most brightly lighted place in the town its Japanese laterns, its marble counter with innumerable silver taps for sweet" syrups, its tiny tables and Ita cases showing bright-colored boxes of candy made an alluring spot to all the youth of the city. There were movies, too, several of them; but each felt that this evening's mood was not fitted to a movie. "So you didn't go?" he said, slipping his arm through , hers. It was the fashion in Marketown to walk arm in arm in the evning. . "No," Ruth's voice was dolorous enough noww. She did not have to put on a brave face for. sympathetic Tim. "I'm sbrry-rand I'm glad too." The girl turned her head In surprise. '"Sorry for yotf. and glad fqf' myself," Tim' went on and us Ruth still looked puzzled, he began to laugh. He had a nice laugh, rich- and mel

low In tone and a nice voice when he chose to use It right. But I thought " Ruth stopped Then she began a new sentence. When you go?" "I'm not going." "But you were what happened?" "Oh, they didn't turn me down. I wrote them and said that things had happened over which I had no control nice important sounding letter, you know," he. bragged, laughing all the time, "that made it necessary for me to stay on here." 1 "But it was your chance and such a chance " "The word is full of chances," Tim laughed easily. "There'll be another and a ' belter one along sometime soon." , Ruth eald nothing. , For they had reached the drug store, and ran into half a dozen people they knew. The rest of the eveningwas passed at the house nf nno nf tha o-irl nnA

j ended up in thati occassion dear to

young nearis, ana Known as a "fudge party." And when Ruth was once more alone with Tim, she was standing at her own gate, with the moon making silver and black shadows around her, and a box of the recently made fudge in her hand. "Perhaps, you are right,' she said. "The world is full of chances. I never thought of it that way before. And here I've been moaning about as tho I'd missed my one and only chance to be something." , "Of course I'm right," Tim said triumphantly. "But do you know why I did" it why I staved on here?" He leaned over to whisper: "Because you wanted to stay. Do you think I wanted to go alone, when you were left here feeling blue?" And before she could answer he was gone, with a little mischievous laugh as though he had played a delightful prank. Serious-minded Ruth did not know whether to be glad or notyet her heart thumped tumultuously as she walked up the path to the house. (Tomorrow Ruth Decides)

Beauty Chats By Edna Kent Forbes

FLAT FEET One of Ihe commonist troubles today is flat footedness. and strange to say, it is a trouble of which few people., are aware. One reason for the commonness of flat feat is the sort of shoes we wear and another reason is that most of us either do not get enough exercise or get the wrong sort. The first thine to consider ts the

type of shoes, because this is a matter that is the most corrected. It is perfectly possible to purchase shoes with a moderately low heel, with a high orch and with sufficient room to allow the toes, not to spread, but to lie comfortably together, without being 1'incJied in. Once you have started in wearing the right sort of shoes, you can consider the matter of foot exercises or .of wearing something to support the fallen arch until it begins to grow strong and healthy. ; One of the best things to do is to take the feet in both hands while you have your-shoes and ttockinga on and kneed; andi rub and massage them for ahoht tfiree minutes. If you will do this twice a day, morning and night, it will help greatly to strengthen them. Salt' baths and alcohol rubs will also

help a great deal, particularly when , leet are temporariy tired. j Best of all, in my opinion, is the tiptoe exercise, which is nothing more ' nor less than walking on tip-toes every day. This stretches and strength-: ens muscles on the Inside of the foot. , Climbing mountains or steep hills is cne of the best things for flat feet, because It forces you to dig the front of the foot Into the earth for a foothold, causing the weight to be thrown on the ball of the foot. And most 1m rortant of all is to buy footwear that has a straight inner last, in other words, one that allows the large toe to lie in a perfectly straight line. Anxious: It is natural for the eyelashes to drop out occasionally, but If yours seem to come out so much, it may be that your hair is unhealthy. This eyelashes that drop easily often go with an unhealthy scalp and hair.' Don't use vaseline on your lashes, but. instead use castor or olive oil. i It may be that you have a naturally brunette complexion so that you could not have a perfectly white skin. A' dark skin is equally" beautiful, if it is clear. Use the blackhead cleansing powder, the formula for which is frequently printed in this space, to clear the 1 complexion around the nose. If you are moderately healthy and keep the stomach and the whole system in good condition, you should have an excellent complexion. All Inquiries addressed to Mm. Forbes in; care of the "Beauty Chats'" department will be answered In these columns in their turn. This requires considerable time, however, owlnjr to the Kreat number received. So, if a personal or quicker reply Is desired, a stamped and self-addressed envelope must he enclosed with the question

1 Heart Problems ! : Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young man and have been going with a girl for more than a year. Last fall I went out of town and when I came back I found that my girl had accepted a dress from another man. Do you think there was any harm in that? I say there was, and she says there was not. H. R. G. Your girl should not have accepted the dress. It shows a lack of selfrespect and good breeding. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am in love with a young man and have been engaged for months. He broke it last night. Please tell me how to get him back. Broken Heart. Now that the young man has broken the engagement, the thing for you to do is to show a brave heart and learn to forget. Be too proud to let him or any one else see how much you care. Do not try to win him back.
