The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

Chapter 14 DUNCAN'S DREAMS Hath -was not to be blamed If, for the next few days, be went about half in iAdream. Ruth had her f ather's quality of being able to live in a land . of her own imagining but with this Important difference, that Ruth knew it was a dream, and Duncan did not always draw a .distinction between the real and the unreal. Tim loved her and it wasn't a dream. But it was a thing to dream 'about. Tim had told her he loved her, he had held her close in his arms when he said it, he had kissed her she could feel his hot lips against her face. She blushed with delight and a new shyness whenever she thought of this. He wanted her to marry him he talked of one of the new little houses on Carlyle Street he wanted to live with her in one of those. They were typically "bride and groom" houses. Ruth knew a woman who lived in one. They ran to flowered wall paper and to much "wedding cake" decoration in the way of white plaster trimmings on the ceilings, and to fancy oak-stained woodwork. Marketown thought ihem quite handsome and the couples who took them delighted in their freshness and the modern conveniences. Ruth tried to picture herself as mistress of one of these houses. But somehow, in spite of her vivid imagination, she could not do so. When she tried, It was to fit her mother's gigantic walnut sideboard into the tiny bow-windowed dining room, or the enormous sofa and chairs of the library into the wee "front room" of the little house. And the two would not mix, even in her mind. She tried to furnish one of the houses, then, with modern things from the Main Stree. Emporium. Certainly the shiny oak "parlor suites" in the windows there were just made tor the Cailyle Street homes! They were sold on the iustallment plan, as a further lure to brides and grooms but somehow Ruth rebelled against the gaudy cheapness of the tables and chairs, the brocaded green velvet coverings, the large patterned "lace" curtains. Ruth gave it up. She decided there would be time enough to think about that when she had her father and mother safely off on their visit. She went in to her father's room to Vefp him company while Ehe mended some freshly laundered shirts. . "Mrs. Weed was over this afternoon," she said. "She wants me to come and live with them while you are away. She said I might have Myac's room. But I refused." "It does put one under obligation," Mr. O'Niel answered, his book lying face down in his lap as he watched her work. "But Mrs. Weed is very nice to you. and perhaps " "No," Ruth answered. "Id rather stay here. Mrs. Belding will stay with me, and she'll pay half the cost of the table, too. because I'll give her her room free. Tim's mother offered to take me, too everyone has been lovely but I'd rather be here. I've a lot of fine plans which 1 won't tell until I see how I can work them out." "Ill worry about you after all, my dear, we are running away and leaving you here with no money, nothing but a big house "I've the income we three have lived on," Ru'h said simply. "We managed on that -and I'm only one. There's some coal in the cellar, and plenty of

fire wood, and Mother and I have canned enough garden stuff to last " "You talk as though you were planning to stand a siege," Duncan Interrupted, smiling. "If this trip builds me up, I can get some tutoring to do, perhaps. There's a college near your Aunt's, and often a demand for men who can coach backward pupils " "It isn't wnat I planned for you," he went on, after a pause. Ruth threaded her needle again, and glanced up as she tied the knot. "If that oil investment of mine had gone right, we would have had an income of several thousands a year "I wanted to take you abroad, to have you educated in France and in Switzerland for a few years, so you could grow up knowing the language there. I wanted to bring you back to college here " Ruth fastened a button securely and folded and laid aside the shirt. She picked up another noting with dismay that in the last wash the part at the collar band had given way. That meant a patch and a patch there in front meant obvious poverty. "I should like to send you to a New England college for two years, then to a Western college for a year," Duncan went on, getting closer and closer into his dream, and unconsciously changing the form of that time, take you abroad again not that our colleges aren't the best in the world, but simply because it's a good thing to get the point of view of different localities. You could study at the Sorbonne in Paris ah, there's a city to live in, my dear." "Yes, do you remember a Little Tour in Fiance?" Ruth answered, absently. Fortunately, she decided to herself, this was a white shirt and there was some material to match. She would just stitch on a whole new bosom it would be as good as a new

shirt "We must go abroad, Ruth," her father answered. "I will be able to get some tutoring, then we'll sell this bara of a house, and the three of us will go. I can work there southern

France would make a new nlan of me."

Ruth gave a little, tired sigh. It was nice to hear her father talk the new bosom would take the rest of the afternoon to cut and to put in. (Tomorrow Leave-taking)

CREPE AND RIBBON MAKE THIS PRETTY ROBE FOR MILADY

Heart Problems j

Dear Mrs, Thompson: I live in St. j Louis nnd am visiting my sifter in-1 definitely, as my husband is in New j York on a business trip. Our father i is a minister and we are of an old, respected, educated family, but my j sister is a terrible puzzle to nie. father tried to influence her not to!

marry whom she did, a young fellowfar beneath her, no education or family. She is artistic and an ac

complished musician. I may as well j confess it, I am jealous of her ability ! to take life as she does.

She has been married fifteen years, is thirty-three years old, has six children, the eldest in invalid, does all her own work, find time to be active in church and social circles, and still has perfect health and still looks like a young girl. Her husband is poor. I married according to father's wishes, a well-to-do business man, have everything financially, but I have micii-nhl a liAfllth anrl Tin rOiilHrpn T

This dainty negligee would make any pretty woman beautiful, that is the opinion of the designer who Kfcde it, and it is the opinion of many women who have seen it. The new cape fashion shows its influence here. The robe is made of canton crepe and trimmed with many loops of dainty satin ribbon. once. The other day she called me into her bedroom, put her arms around me and said: "Sister, dear, father was right; I shouldn't have married. I don't know why, but he never makes over me or kisses me. He has compelled me to live my life alone until I have accepted the attentions of an older man. I love him, but I intend to stay with my husband and be sweet and good to my little children." How inconsistent! Why is it I have everything and try to do right, but she has nothing, but keeps young and good to look at. Everyone loves her. Her children are perfect dears. Yet she is choosing to be happy on the crumbs of a man's love, who probably doesn't mean what he says to her. Always a

eroile on her face and wormwood In her heart. In spite of all this I love her. What can I do to break through that' happy-go-lucky air of hers and make her think seriously of the unhapplness that is surely In store for her? A TROUBLED SISTER. Tour sister is evidently a person well able to manage her own affairs. It more trouble is in store for her, she will realize tne truth soon enough and nothing will be gained by warning her. You can see that she is not entirely unhappy, because she tries so hard to bring conditions of love and happiness to her. By hard work and cheerfulness she draws a curtain on her troubles and keeps before her the better things in her life. Do not envy her; imitate her. You can do much with your own life to make it more beautiful, if you fight down poor health. Many women who are ill find that in an emergency they are blessed with endurance far beyond anything they dreamed of. They believe themselves to be incapable of work, and therefore make little effort to be about doing useful things. You can help yovr sister a great deal by

assisting with the children, and you will find real joy in (he work. Since you have no children of your own, the next best thing is to win the love of your sister's children. To pity your sister is a waste of time. She is blessed with a rich nature and will never be very unhappy.

Would Use Honolulu as, Eastern Disease Barrier (By Associated Press) HONOLULU, , T. H., March 15. Honolulu should be a standard of sanitary efficiency, a buffer between the continental United States and possible disease epidemics in the Far East, according -to a letter sent by Governor Charles J.' McCarthy, of Hawaii, to the secretary of the interior. Governor McCarthy made his statement in pressing for presidential approval of a $600,000 sewer bond issue for Honolulu. The governor also pointed out that the- present population of Honolulu is greater than that of the entire Hawaiian island group at the time the present sewer system was installed. Before the bond Issue may be. put out, it must be sent through the secretary of the interior by whom it is presented to the president for final approval.

A LARGE number of women's ailments are not surgical ones. Serious displacements or radical changes have not yet taken place. A tiny part in a fine clock may become loose and cause the clock to gain or lose. If not attended to in time, the part may fall from its place and cause serious trouble. So it is with women's ailments, they start from simple causes; but if allowed to continue, produce serious conditions. When the warning symptoms are first noted, take Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Compound to relieve the present troublesome ailment, and to prevent the development of serious trouble.

North Troy, X. Y. "When I was a young girl I had a severe female trouble. Mother gave me Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and after taking several bottles I was strong and well. When my daughter got married she was feeling miserable and I recommended your medicine. She is greatly improved in health and has a beautiful baby boy four months old.
