The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

RICHES REFUSED

Ruth sent Tim away at the gate of her house. "You realjy shouldn't take time from your work, the people might not like it," she urged. "But I tll you ! often do skip out

for a little." he answered. "Lord, I've J

sneaked off for an hour many an arteriioou to watch a ball game. They Just thought I was on an errand." "Still, it doesn't seem fair, or right," Ruth said, her serious blue eyes raised to Ws. "All right. Miss Conscience," he laughed. "I'll go back at once and work half my lunch hour.' "When do I see you next? "Tomorrow evening." Ruth told him. And with that promise he went away. I . It was with a real feeling of loneliness that the girl turned into the 'empty house. Somehow the place had never seemed too large for her before. She and her mother and father were rich in space at least! Each , one spread over two or three rooms upstairs, while below the huge room known aa the "library," the parlor usually closed off the great dining room and the kitchen, took up the entire floor. Ruth had given Mrs. Belding a small room adjoining her own bedroom a room she usually used as her own little study. She went up to it now, to make up the cot that was to serve as her companion's bed. Then, mechanically, she went about the housework, half-frightened at the ringing noise her feet seemed to make In the emptiness. She mane up her bed and straightened her own room, then stripped the other beds and put away the covers. She gathered up and put away the scattered odds and ends always left from any hurried packing, and rather sadly closed off the big rooms used by her father and mother. She had a feel ing of having said a long farewell when she shut the doors. Tim was to come tomorrow night she would give him an answer then! She had little doubt what she wanted the answer to be she loved Tim with all her heart. A little wave of pleasure went through her at this. The very loveliness of the house, the prospect of being alone all winter, increased her growing affecti6n for the boy. But, of course, it was foolish to think of marrying all her common sense told her that. Tim had nothing, she had less than nothing and she must make some sort of career for herself. Yet every hour that passes told her she was more in love. She was only realizing it gradually. It was too big to realize at once. So, though she knew she wanted to say yes, her sense told her she should say no that -she should refuse the riches offered her. And when Tim came, she had not mprte up her mind. LirMe Mrs. Belding, a mouselike person who hd been a widow for years, pnd who filled out hr tinv income by doi"e sewinp. considered her duty as n chap?ron finished by 9 o'clock and wnt up to her room. Tim turned at once to Ruth, his arms out. -And Ruth went, to bim. and

The only place I coujd suggest for' you to meet men would be at church, , and .attendance there has failed to bring .the desired results. You must realize that a mother with three children is not as alluring . to a man nowadays as the unmarried woman. It is. too much of a responsibility to think of supporting a

family of children which are not the man's own. I am afraid that your, husband would lose Interest in you again if you asked him to come back. Continue to write letters and wait for him to suggest the return. Probably he will fall in love with .you again through correspondence and will long to be back with you and the children. Do not hesitate to remarry, because it would be better

she loved him, and that it was the sweetest feeling in the world. She thought of nothing beyond the moment. She was supremely happy. But later, when they were sitting before the fire, Tim mentioned the Carlyle Street houses again. And that brought Ruth up to a more practical consideration of the problem. "We can't do it, you know we can't, 1 Tim! " she told him. j ,"We can when I get a raise," Tim' argued. "Not even then," Ruth said. "Of course, we would be poor at first if you mind that." j The girl for an instant felt hurt at this remark. . . . j "I wouldn't mind being poor," she ; said finally. "I am poor. I've never, been anything else that I remember. Ob, yes, when I was a child, we had more money, but never enough to be ' well-to-do. Only I know, from my own experience here at home, that we sim- j ply couldn't buy the necessities of life, even after your raise." , Her face was almost childlike, as she sat there considering the great , problem of existence, though her manner and her common sense were those of a mature woman. "Of course, I won't stay at a small, salary," Tim said. "I'll get alone I'll make a lot of money some day," "I know you will," the girl smiled at him, a world of trust in her eyes. "But ' now, this minute I mean, you aren't and I have work to do, too. So I have j

tq say no, Tim. I have to say I won't marry you that is, that I won't be engaged to you." "I dont see what you mean," Tim

was almost sulky. 1 "I can't say no," Ruth answered. "Because T love you too much. But I .

can't say yes, because I know we simply couldn't marry. So I'm making a compromise. I'm going to say no for the time. And some other time, vhen it's more practical if youll ask me again " The rest of the sentence was lost, for Tim had gathered her into one of his impetuous embraces. Tomorrow A Letter

Heart Problems ! ; :

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I ana widow with three dear little tots. My husband and I separated last fall after trying to live together eight years. 1 then got a divorce, which seems to be "the go" . nowadays. He came to see the children a week or so before I secured my divorce. He was here two and a half days. The last day we were as lovers. He wanted to come back and wished it were possible for us to get along. I My sister had come to live with me

and tbey did not get along. I was expecting the divorce any time and so I could not see any way but to carry

Musical! Joy

Y.OU get the height of musical joy when you hear a great living artist But you get equal joy wjhen you hear the same artist on e the New Edison. The proof of this is convincing, conclusive and concreta IKc NEW BEMISOET 1Zf2 Phonograph tvHh a Soui" Convincing for Mr. Edison himself said in a recent interview: "The emotional effects and consequent benefits of music are well known. Through the agency of my new phonograph, I can produce the same effects as would result from the original music." Conclusive for you can scone, on a Mood Change Chart, the effects of the New Edison's realism on you. Come in and listen to thin test of realism. Concrete for we will show a big book of proof, that there is no difference between Re-Created music and the original music This proof would be good in any court of law.
