The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

A SURPRISE. Synosls of Preceding Chapters. .. Ruth O'Niel .and Myra Weed hav? been chums from chilhood. Myra has money, but Ruth finds when she graduates, that eh must helD support her family. The gtfrla plan to go to New York, Ruth to study in a business Fchool in order to make a good salary later. Myra to study anything she fancies. But the money to send Ruth must be used to take her sick father south. Myra goes, Ruth, deprived of her chance, stays at home. Tim Turner, who had always been in love with her, asks her to marry him. She refuses, as they have no money, and he goes to the city to earn a living for her. There he falls in love with Myra. a natural result of his loneliness in a strange town and her prettiness. Ruth is heartbroken deprived first of n chance to earn, now of her chance to love and be happy. Langley Williams, from the city, takes up his home in her town, and she meets him. Chapter 55. So it happened that when the danco came off. Ruth went with Langley Williams. For the occasion, she wore the cast-off evening dress, once Emily's, then worn by both Myra and Gaby Cartez, and now her own possesion. She-felt, when she slipped into it. that she looked very citified and charming- She combed her hair as Myra had shown her, and except for the fAct that her low shoes were black

and rather shabby, she felt herself verv well dressed. She had altered

the frock a little, so it was not so very low in the neck. The dress created an enormous sensation at the dance and so did her partner. "I couldn't tend him," one girl remarked a rather vulgar little woman whom Ruth never quite liked "He doesn't care much for girls,"

another one said. "Margery Drew makes them all fall in love with her. i and he wouldn't look at her. He's the i most unromanlic man I ever met. He'll j f it for hours in a shady porch or in j ihe moonlight, and talk about nothing, but how. he makes factories pay bet-! ter, or where he's traveled." j Ruth laughed. She iiked that "unromantic" quality in this new friend. . "Well, you're the sweet and sensible I Vort. He'll fall for you." another girl j remarked., after having studied Ruth's; dress from all sides. "Ruthie, dear. !

I adore that gown. Did you get it in New York?" ..Yes," Ruth answered, glad she could tell the truth yet not be obliged to tell all the truth. She hated to havs it known that she was wearing some one's cast-ofr dress.

Williams, it appeared danced beautifully. His height and his thin ath-j letic build made him an ideal partner, j

and he had a natural rhythm and a lightness that was quite different from the dancing of the average boy in Markctown. And he seemed to like the dance immensely. "You do look different from the other times I've seen you." he said to Ruth once, as they sat down to rest. "You never looked at me before," Ruth answered, yielding to a sudden temptation. But she was afraid this remark was bold and flirtatious, so she dropped her eyes, and a little embarrassed pink spread over her cheeks. She did not realize how charming Shis made her. "Yes, I have. I've looked more at you. than at any other girls in the I own." Langley said, but the manner in which he said it made of it a casual fact, not a compliment. "But I don't quite know whether I

like you all dressed up like a grown woman, or not. I rather think I prefer you in those little dresses you wear around the house. I like that bluo one." Ruth was surprised at this. He not only had noticed her, he even had noticed the color of her dress! They walked home together after the dance, through, the quiet streets of the little town. "You walk like a boy," Langley said suddenly, when the silence was growing a little embarrassing to Ruth. "Do I? I like walking," To the girl it seemed necessary to make a defence. "What do you call walking? A mile or so, or a stroll under the trees in the evening?"

Something in the inflection of his

voice nettled her. "I don't mean anything of the sort. I like walking real walking over rough roads or hills, ten or 15 miles." "Really? Can you do 15 miles?" The girl remembered some tramps 6he and Tim had taken. She was still a little cross with Williams. "I've done 20. Of course I can do 15." Personally she doubted whether she ever had walked Z0 miles in one day. She knew she had done 15, though. "There's Cusbiontop Mountain over there," he pointed west in -a vague manner. "It's 15 there and back, and very pretty country. I've' done it on horseback. Want to walk it next Sunday?" "Yes." Ruth said eagerly. "I would love to."

"Fine!" And that was settled, and as they walked on it seemed as though they were friends for the first time. Not the dance music, nor the shaded lights when Williams had his arm around

the girl, piloting her over the flag the two of them waltzing easily together; not the evenings at home when she had talked books with her father, had brought on this sudden intimate feeling. . , Ruth felt a little happier. Next day she received a phone message from him, while she was at the office. ' "That playground idea of yours at the factory is fine," he said. "I commended it to the manager and he told me it was you who planned it. I told them they wanted to train their employees to physical efficiency by somewhat the fame means. Besides, the playground must be abanddned for an indoor place soon. The weather is getling cold." Ruth wondered what this was leading to. "So the factory owners want you to come over and plan an indoor gymnasium for them, and one for the children." "But I don't know anything about " "Yes you do. Come after the otflce is closed. Use your ideas. If you haven't any, make them up. This is a good chance." The phone clicked off, and Ruth hung up the receiver, the most surprised girl in Marketown. Tomorrow Sunlinght and Shadows.
