The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

Chapter 12 LOVE STORY "I can't take your money like this, child," Mrs. O'Neil protested. "It isn't fair." "Of course it's fair." Ruth answered harply. She had to be sharp, because If she allowed herself to fall into her mother's sentimental mood she knew that she would start to cry. "You were to use it to study, to improve yourself." "Well. I'll use it now to improve

Father.! Ruth answered simply. Heavens, Mother, all I ever wanted to do with that was to get a start to earn money. One of the first things I wanted to do with my salary, when I Anally got one, was to send Father to see his sister. So I'll do it now. I'll find a position here in Marketown. too, and earn money. Only it won't be so much." They were brave words. And to give them weight, Ruth went out of the room. After all, it was a little hard to give up and give up everything. To give up her oie chance to better herself, at least! And. finally, to settle the matter for Mrs. O'Neil was inclined to argue Ruth took her $75 to the station sgent, and bought two tickets. The gent and herself, with a few yards of timetables, finally arranged the trip. "You go from here to Pittsburgh," Ruth said. "From there you get a through train, with a sleeper., You have an upper and lower, that's $3.50

Ruth said, flurried a little. "Mother really should go she has not been away for years ' "Neither have you." "She knows Aunt Sara so well. You see, she used to live down that way, too, and knows lots of people there.

She and father spent their honeymoon

near there -'

"And you gave up a trip to the city

for it at least, if you weren't spend

ing the money on this, you might still

have a chance of going "

"No," Ruth said. "It would have taken several hundred to send and keep me in the city long enough to take a thorough business course. We were not likely to have that." "At least, you might have had the fun of a trip and a rest, or a vacation. You might have gone - with your father." : "Rest, vacation!" Ruth exclaimed, with passion. "When the thing I'm longing for is work! Tim, you don't understand V "No, I don't, except that you are the most unselfish gir! I know. You make me ashamed of myself most of the time." "Besides," Ruth Faid, her eyes brightening up in a little, whimsical tmile, "you said you stayed back because I didn't go to New YoTk. Nice treatment, wouldn't it be, for me to run off then, and leave you without " "Ruth," Tim jumped to his feet suddenly, and stood over her chair. "Was

You can take a lunch to eat going to Pittsburgh, get supper there, and next morning you reach your station around 10, eo you needn't buy breakfast on the train you can take some fruit Aunt Sara will meet, you in the new car, if you write ahead when you're coming." "But I needn't go. " "Father couldn't go that distance alone!" "You certainly have it all arranged for us. I guess you're my daughter, after all. more than your father's. You've all my decision of character." Ruth did not answer. Somehow she found less, pleasure in the idea of resembling her mother, than in being told she was "her father over again." As a matter of fact, she knew she was unlike both. Sometimes she thought she was a changeling, an ambitious in

And all that afternoon, Ruth sat with him and read him "Pepy's Diary" with an English history open baside her, to look up the many great figures that delightful old chronicler talked about. And Tim came in the evening. But this time they sat indoors, and

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young married man of 21. I have been married seven months to a young widow who has a girl aged three. My folks didn't want me to marry, but I did anyway. We have been living in furnished rooms until I could get enough to go to houekeeping. There is a man of 40, a widower, who has been causing trouble between us. Ever since my wife quit working for him lie has caused trouble. I have several letters which he wrote her trying to coj her to come to his home and stay. My wife realizes I cannot give her the home and clothes she would like to have, for I do not earn enough. Please tell me what I can do about it? FRECKLES. I would suggest that you secure a position in another town and take your wife there. Of course you could sue her former employer, but it would take a good deal of money and he might have power enough to defeat you. Right now is a bad time to change positions. If you love your wife, however, it would be better to live with her on a farm than to have her lured away by a dishonorable man. I hope she realizes that a loyal love means far more than riches.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Vn" " - rewarded for your answer to. "I. L. Y. F." Yes. what would our jesus nave done to this fallen girl but picked her up and been a friend to her? It is by good company and good influences that bad girls are made better. I was left alone in this world and 1 know what kind words and sympathy have done for me, and also know what knocks" have done. I bless God for the people who have encouraged me and tried to help me bear my lonesomeness. This girl. "I. L. Y. F.." ought to cast her light before the whole world so that the poor down-trodden may have a gleam thrown across their pathways instead of gloom. I hope she will be to this girl a friend to the end and not listen to other people. Let her friends who advise her to shun the "talked about girl" take a look at themselves, cast a mote out of their own eyes and then they will be more able to see the beam that i in the outcast's eyes. ALONE. I have printed your letter because you say you know from experience how much kindness means to the outeast. All of us help daily in the making and breaking of character. When we fail to reach out a helping hand, we sin as the outcast is sinning, and just as greatly, although maybe in a different way. 50 HENS LAY OVER 600 EGGS A MONTH
