The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

' Chanter 15

Itp ; " leave-taking t It was rather ' a tired eirl who

climbed out of bed that cool morning - of mid-October. This -was the day hen Mr. and Mrs. O'Neil were to leave for their trip-south, and there "were the usual number of details to be hurried through. Ruth glanced up at the sky as she t-hut her windows. A little sunlight, si ill weak and uncertain, gave promise or a clear day. The grass and the cobwebs glittered with moisture, the cosmos against the wall stood up bravely with all its lavender and pink beauty. This was the time of year that most delighted Ruth its bracing freshness usually made her blood dance, made her, as she said, "want to go out and conquer the world.' But today she had little of the conqueror's spirit. No one can have the conqueror's spirit, whose mind must consider first such details as getting ' th- treakfast, and putting the last minute things into the trunks and making the train. When Ruth reached the kitchen, she Heart Problems Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a boy nearly seventeen and I fell in love with a girl who says she likes me ail right, but she acts funny sometimes. I wrote her a letter and she never answered it. Please advise me what to do. BLUB EYES. Let your good judgment govern your feelings. You must know that both you and the girl are too young to 'ndulge in a love affair. You will be happier if you put love out of your thoughts and realize that it is a thing for the future, when you have your start in life and can plan beyond love to marriage. Without a doubt the girl realizes she is too young to let you talk of such things to her. Keep her s a friend, but do not mention love to her again. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a married woman and was married twentytwo years when my husband ran away with another man's wife. He was gone a long time- before I knew where he was. Tncn after a long time he let himself be known and said he was still living with the other woman. She turned him down and married another man. Then he came back to me and begged me so hard to live with him again that 1 did so for the sake of our youngest daughter. Now he does everything in his power to make my life miserable. He and I dont quarrel. 1 just make the best of it. He goes out every evening after supper and stays out until a late hour in the night. Have I done wrong by taking my daughter and husband back and trying to keep the home together? Could you advise me of some way to make our home more bright and cheerful? A BROKEN-HEARTED WIFE. Are you helping anyone by keeping your home together under the present circumstances? Are you happier now than when you were alone? Or would you be happier if you were free from your husband again? It seems to me that you should coneider yourself in this matter, since your husband has. not earned consideration. Frankly, I know of no way you can make your home more bright and cheerful, since you make the best of your circumstances and refuse to quarrel. You have not mentioned your daughter's attitude. In one part of your letter I get the impression that your daughter came back with your husband. If so. she might take sides with her father, and to lose one you would lose both. Decide your problem in the way which will give you the greatest contentment. Dear Mrs. Thompson: When I married I was but fifteen years of age and my husband was not yet of age. After our baby came it lived but a few hours. My husband never loved me and we quarrel Very much. He always brings up the past and it nearly drives me wild. 1 am now but seventeen years old. I have no parents or relatives to whom I may go for support. YOUNG W IFE. It seems to me that years of unhappiness stretch out before you if you remain with a man who does not love you. Since there are no children. 1 would advise a separation. Do not expect anyone to support you, because you can find a way to support yourself. I would suggest that you do housework for a few years so that you will have the protection of a home. When you are older, you will be more equal to face the business world. Let your first, experience be a warning against further difficulties of the same nature. Soutli Bend, Ind. "Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the only medicine for women that I can recommend. I found It very helpful during expectancy. I took the 'Favorite Prescription' twioe and it was of great benefit to me each time; It gave me strength and kept me in perfect health. I would advise all prospective mothers to give it a trial." MRS. LILLIAN NYE, 514 E. Monroe St. OR,

was greeted with the odor of baking bread, and found her mother pulling out the rich brown loaves from the oven. ' "But you were going to let that go for me to do this morning!" Ruth protested. "I can do it better than you, and anyway, I'll be having a long rest while you'll have work enough," Mrs. O'Neil answered. "At least I can bake up enough bread to last you a week. When's Mrs. Belding coming over?" "This afternoon, as soon as she's finished with Mrs. James sewing," Ruth anwered, tying on a big apron. "I'm giving her the little room next to mine, then we'll shut up your room and Father's, and that will save cleaning." "That's wise," Mrs. O'Neil approved. "And, Ruth, you'd better can .a lot of apple sauce before those apples rot It will make desserts for this winter." "I know," the girl answered, beginning to set the table for breakfast. "I wish I didn't worry about you so. It seems wicked to go off and leave you like this." "Oh, Mother, don't talk that way," Ruth protested, almost impatiently. "I won't be alone because Mrs. Belding will be with me, and I know just how much money I can draw every week to live on." - But Mrs. O'Neil continued with advice and instruction as she made up the lunch they were to eat on the train, and as she finished putting clothes into the one trunk and the big suit case that they were taking. "Fortunately, your Aunt Sarah lives in the south where it's warm," she remarked, coming back to the kitchen to press some wrinkles from her "best" waist. "My summer clothes can be made fairly presentable, but my winter ones are pretty hopeless. At least I shan't have to buy anything warm this year." "Not if you stay till spring," Ruth answered. "And you'd better if you can. Father's always worse in bad weather." Duncan 'O'Neil came down to breakfast, plainly excited at the prospect of the trip. "If only you were going," he said, rutting an arm around Ruth as she came in from the kitchen. "I feel like fcuch a baby, to be taking my daughter's money for a pleasure trip." ' It's a health trip, and you're to come back feeling fine," Ruth answered, adopting the soothing maternal tone she often used when talking with him. "Ruth, you won't do anything silly or sentimental like getting married while I'm awaj?" he asked anxiously. "Don't worry Father, I won't. When anything like that happens I'll let you know about it a long time in advance." "I've kept you down long enough with my own worthlessness and helplessness," the man said, "if you marry one of the Marketown boys, you'll only tie yourself down for life to the same sort of thing." Ruth said nothing. A vision at Tim came back again Tim was a Marketown boy but how different from all the others, she decided! And eventually, they stood on the station platform, waiting for the "local" that was almost always late. It was only 10 o'clock, but -Ruth felt: as though she had lived through a whole day. "You'd better lie down and rest when you get back, you look tired out," her mother advised. Ruth nodded her head. She was tired, awfully tired. The train came in at last, and Ruth went on board long enough to see both of them settled comfortably in a seat. Then she kissed them both good-bye hurriedly, glad that the whistle was blowing so the farewell need not be prolonged. She was tired, and she was nervous, and she hated walking back alone through the streets to the empty house. As she turned from the station platform when the train had gone, it was to find Tim waiting on the steps, an eager smile on his face. "But you shouldn't be away from your office,'' she protested as he walked back with her. "Oh, the old man won't know," he answered easily. "And I knew you would feel blue. So I tit out and came down to walk home with you." Tomorrow Riches Refused. "PUSSYFOOT" WINS RIGHT TO SPEAK IN ONTARIO OTTAWA, Ontario, March 16 William E.

The crown of womanhood is motherhood. But many women face the ordeal of maternity without sufficient preparation. At such times ana later the. mother should take a vegetable tonic, sold by druggists and known in almost every home as Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is put up in both fluid and tablet form. If you wish to rive it a trial send your name and address to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel in Buffalo, N.Y., enclosing ten cents, and a trial package will be sent you. Thousands of women have testified as to its efficacy. Read the following : Laporte, Ind. "Eighteen years ago I first became acquainted with Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It was during expectancy and I was very frail and delicate. But the 'Favorite Prescription' strengthened me and I had comparatively no suffering. My baby was a strong, healthy girl and has always been fine and healthy. For the expectant mother I think there is nothing to equal the 'Prescription. "The 'Pleasant Pellets' I keep in my medicine closet for immediate use and couldn't keep house without them." MRS. MINNIE MCGREG
