The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

Chapter 59 NEW WORK AND PLAY. '" When Ruth arrived home, her father was eitting by the living room table reading, her mother had already gono .' to bed. Langley simply 6aid they had decided on a long tramp and bad gone over to Newton and dined there. And eoon afterwards ho left. " ' "You weren't worried?" Ruth asked. "We sent word" "Oh. that part was all right. Of course, my dear, I know why ou went " "I asked Liangley to go with me. I was so tired all day in the office and so nervous " "I know. I used to pace up and down the room when I was upset in the days when I could walk." He irlanced down at himself and the girl, following his look, could see how the legs had grown so thin the trousers hung in folds upon them, and how lie seemed to have shrunk inside his suit. Duncan O'Niel picked up the evening raner, Marketown's one journal. "There's a long account of it here," he said. 'I wouldn't bother to read

It, though. Of course, when I saw this the story of Myra's and Tim's marriage. I knew why you had this Midden fit of nerves, and had gone off for a ten-mile walk, when most folks come-home to dine." ''Y-ou know " ' ' My - dear, I've' seen bow different, "-vou've been this last year. T thought' tnight'have been a love affair vith Tim, but you seemed to take his engagement so calmly I decided I was wrong. Then well, one little thing "arid another "happened, and tonight when I saw this announcement, i: . helped me string a Lot of little cir--" cumstances together, and so now T r.know you've been in love all along." "All along," echoed Ruth, and asked, "Does mother know?" Mr. CNeil shook his head. "I'm glad of that," , the girl said. "The fewer who know, the better I'll feel." There "was a long silence .while

father and daughter sat staring at the fire. "Of course there's no use telling you that you'll get over this and forget it. There's no use saying you're only 20 years old. and a mere baby, and that a real love could not happen '10 you when you are so young. You wouldn't believe it who could expect you to?' He ? lid down a little more in his big chair such a tiny man he seemed with his large head and the eyes too big for his thin face. One very thin nervous; hand, supported his chin, he did not look at Ruth, and while he spoke it seemed more as though l.e were talking aloud to himself. He talked a long time, and Kut'n listened, interested in spite of the fact

that she felt so thoroughly unhappy

and miserable. And after a time she

re-acted physically to the fatigue of one

the long tramp in cold air, to the I their vacant lot into a playground fo

warmth 'of th'e fire and the pleasant monotony of her father's voice. When he stopped talking and she went up to bed, she was less nervous than the had been for days. Hut the rest of the week she looked nearly as badly aa she felt. And that inner little sick feeling did not leave her for days. She wondered though what It was that Langley Williams was going to tell her. and how he had guessed the reason for her sudden nervous restlessness. And his quiet sympathy drew her to him. She f?lt a little comfort whenever fche thought of him. And as the days passed, she felt the quiet, sympathetic, force of her father as well. He would ask about the club, lie would suggest some plan for it. It was never any one thing he said or did; it was, somehow, this perfect faith that Ruth was going to make a success of anything she undertook.

"I ve got some good ideas," she said

evening. "If the factory made

the children of that part, why doesn't the town use one of the vacant places in the middle of the city for the Same thing?" "Yes, why not give the rich the privileges of . the poor?" Mr.-O'Niel laughed. "Yes,, why not? There's half a

a field on Camberly Road, there's a lot of space on Tremont Avenue. Why don't we make child centres of them? After all, the children of the .nice neighborhoods play in the streets, too; most of the yards are too small for much fun. And there's no such thing as organized play except among the factory children." "Why don't you draw up some detailed plans, and go and talk to the town council about it. Go see the Mayor." Ruth laughed. The mayor was also the owner of the large grocery but next day she did go see him, and a week later sh made a 6peech before the city officials, advocating her plans for city playgrounds. Her cheeks

Langley Williams waited outside the meeting place to walk home with her. "I'm leaving next week," he said. "Will you come out for a walk Sunday afternoon?" Tomorrow Another Heart.

UCA 1 ATI 1 - - " w " a eighteen years old and have been go- j

ing.with a boy several montns. aiy parents do not object to my going with" him as they think he is very "nice." I am engaged to him, but some- . times he acts as though he doesn't care a thing for me. He came to see me the other night and said that he had to go home early. He left. me and didn't go home as he ; said he was going to. He loafed I around town until rather late. He 'has. been with me once since. ', Do you think I should accept lis love? This sort or thing happens occasionally. LUCILE. The boy is cheating you. He pretends to love you. but he is only giving you a half-hearted affection. Break your engagement arid wait until a man loves you enough to want to be with you in preference to running around town when he pretends to be at home. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I enjoy reading your column and the letter by "A Dead One" interested me so much. There are a lot 1 of girls in the position he is. only it is harder for a girl who is a little slow in meeting people, because she can't make any advances, and as a rule doesn't go to many places where she can meet men. I know, because I am in such a situation. ' You will not find the "6weet girls" who don't allow men to become too familiar with them, parading the streets all dolled up in the latest styles, but at home, usually busying themselves with something worth while. ANSWERING A DEAD ONE. The point you have made is an excellent, one. Worth while girls are not found parading the streets. They are found quietly performing their tasks in the business world, or in the home. Wherever they, are they refrain from "parading" their charms. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young girl eighteen years old and I have a lover four years my senior. I think him more than handsome and do not want to part with him. There is another young man who keeps writing to me as if I had been answering his letters, and I would never think of it. He keeps bothering me. I tell the other one and he says he thinks I care something for the one who writes. I do not want to quarrel with him and I do not want to be bothered w ith the one who keeps writing.

Please advise me what to do to i

avoid the other man's letters. WORRIED AND HEARTSICK. When you receive the letter crofs out your own name and put the man's address on the envelopes, marking them "Return to ." . Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl sixteen years of age. I have not gone with boys. They seem to think a lot of me going to school, but it is always in a fun-making way. There is one boy I like who tells me he likes me when there Is no one around, but when he is in a crowd he will not pay any attention to .me. He doesn't mistreat me in any way. How can I gain his love? NOBODY'S DARLING. Do not worry about gaining the

boy's love. You are too young to

permit a boy to love you, and he is too young to talk of love to you. It will be many years before he is es

tablished in life and in a position to

thing of love and marriage, which

should go hand in hand. It is not respectful to you to avoid you in a

crowd and to tell you that he likes you when you are alone.
