The GirUWho Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

Chapter 57. . THE SHADOWS TURN BLACK. That very evenin. Rath hjrid a telesram 'from Gbrille. Cartez. announclag that-, she was coming I io Marketowa and -would be there in the morning and come to Ruth's ofllrje. A casual correspondence had bwra carried on between these two. but tenth had had no letter for weeks. ( And next morning- about ' 10 o'clock, the once dr" opened an 1 in cams Gaby with two suitcases, to catch hold of ' Ruth -ana 'gusk over hipr will all the- little actress' enthusWin. "Darlin,- I'm so glad to woe you. and how well you're looking," she said, and released Ruth to look; rat her and ind out whether this last! statement was true or not. Without pausing for bra ith, she explained that she was on her way to St Louis to join a new company. . "A decent part at la t, and two

?ongs to myself and a fcood salary which I'm going to sare," she announced. "I'd asked for (he part and been turned down, and the -girl they took was awful, so they Hred her and sent a telegram -to me. ' "And as I wasn't ijeeded until Thursday, I Just decided (to start two days ahead of time and stop off and loak you up. You aren't much off my route, III go from here p Pittsburg." "If you knew how glatl I am to see you " Ruth began. "Darlin', you're joy to my eyes. But. you do look thin!" A client strolled into '(he office, and Ruth , had to wait until she had sent Gaby home and reached 'there herself, before she heard more views. "Where does your sbpw go after it leaves St. Louis?" she, asked, when they were settled after tdinncr by the

living room fire.' "Oh. - we come east and play the winter in New York. It's a musical comedy, but It will 2e a success. They're giving it a la ng try out on the road before bringivwg it in Broadway." , "Thpn you'll go bad i to the apartment?" "The one you saw? "Well, no that is, you see, " Emily wJl be at home soon, and shell neexjl! the furniture she loaned us as I I'm making enough to afford a plac p of my own. " "And Myra?" Ruth asked, keeping her: voice perfectly steady. - "Myra? Oh, ilyra." Gaby pretended the-had to settle the cushions more comfortably, moving :ibout restlessly in her chair. "Shell co some place. I suppose." "Where?" "Now darlin', don?r ask me what she's " "I'm glad you left11he apartment a few days earlier to tiee me. It left more room for Myni's visitors, too. But- why didn't you etay on for the ceremony?" "Now. Ruth dear,, what are you talking about?" Ruth faced the finr, she dared not look around. Gaby was clever in many ways, but she thought it stupid of her to try. in this way. to hide the true situation, anil then, as she started to ask directly, the door opened and Langley Willliams cam in. So the evening passed pleasantly enough, except tha Ruth was. not able to find out wttat she wanted to know. And when the man left, Gaby turned eagerly. "What 'a perfectly fine chap! Ruth, he's in love with you." "Nonsense," Ruth, answered irritably. "He's not in love with me or anyone. He has a c ireer to make, and women. have no place in his life. I have a career to make. At least, I have money , to make, and men have no place in my lifo." "Where have I heard such word3 before I" . The littlis actress rolled up her eyes and pullod her pretty face into a droll exprescSon. "Darling, they fall hardest when they start off 'by talking that way." . "What way? I am telling. the truth. I've known Langler a long time" now. We've worked together on a factory improvement plan of his and we've

taken walks togefiher, all over the country nere, and he's never been a bit sentimental. That's why I liked him, if you want t know." "Well, why don't you fall in love with him? He'd fall for you in a minute. I can see you, you never gave him an ounce of 'encouragement "' "Gaby!" Ruth's tone silenced the other firl. The fire died doiim. and Ruth stirred its red embers. Then she turned suddenly.

"Why didn't yv.m stay on in New

York for the wedding tomorrow?

ITS A LONG, LONG TRAIL FOR THESE REFUGEES OF KRONSTADT REVOLUTION

"It isn't until Wednesday, and I have to be in rehearsal then." Ruth turned back to the fire. She had the truth at last-r-thougb she almost knew it when she saw Mr. and Mrs. Weed leaving for the station. '

Gaby put out a hand a slim white J

hand, with too many rings on it. "Dear, it's the best thing. Myra wasn't worth your old affection for her. and Tim wasn't worthy of you in any way.. Believe me, Ruth, the best man for you to fall in love with is Lang " "Don't!" Ruth's yoice was scarcely audible. She sat facing the fire still, her face set, her hands held tightly together. ' Gaby said something about going early to bed and left her alone. And for a long time Ruth sat there, while the living room grew chilly and the embers became a dull red. It was to happen at last Myra and Tim wer to be married, in less than two days. AfteT that, it would be almost wicked for her to thing 'about Tim yet he

had kissed her goodbye a year ago before this very fireplace. Why was it that if he could so soon cease to love- her, she could not stop loving him? She held her hand against her neck, her fingers working nervously. After all, what was the use of anything? Life was only work and struggle and more work. Tomorrow Passing Days. ....

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a wife fit 19, and have one little boy whom I named after a friend of ours. My husband thought it all right at first.

! but lately he has been telling me that j

I did it because I loved the friend. He gets drunk quite often and says some very cruel things that wound me deeply. I love him and I know he loves me, but he is jealous of a man that is just like a brother to both of us. When he gets angry he says things before the friend that would shock any one else. The friend is really a kind and sensible young man who did love me once, but he only treats me as a friend now. I am deeply grieved at my husband's actions and feel mortified when he talks" so. When he is drunk he beats my baby. I am troubled and feel hurt and sad and want you to advise me. A WOUNDED HEART. My sympathy is with your husband. It must be a very great strain on him to accept your old sweetheart as an ever welcome friend in the home. Then, too, it was cause for your husband to be hurt when you named the boy after the friend instead of him. There is only one course that will bring you happiness. Explain to the friend that it makes it difficult for you to have him in the home. Tell him that you have enjoyed his friendship, but you cannot let it come between you and your husband. I firmly believe that your husband will be in a more normal state of mind when he no longer meets the other man. He will probably stop drinking because his home will mean more to him. If the baby is not too old, I would suggest that you change the little one's name. The father will care more for the child if he does not feel a bitter sting every time he calls his name.

These women were left -without food or shelter when the revolt collapsed. With their babies they started for Finland in the hope of obtaining nourishment.
