The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

Chapter 62 WITH THE SPRING Looking back over her life, Ruth decided that iU crisis was reached that winter. Never before had she been so miserable, never had the been so much alone. Dunn the previous year she had been through a winter of donbt, and a summer of sad conviction over the loss of Tim's love. But with hl3 marriage to Myra, something snapped in her, she could not tell what. Lat,er she knew it was the nervous tension she was under, and, that from the moment he was finally married, finally and absolutely separated from uer, she Irsran to feel better. This next winter she worked, harder than ever before, harder even than when she tried to run a large rooming house without any help. Her young face grew more serious and more mature, she was a little taller and a little slimmer, her chin that had somehow been gently indefinite, seemed to form a determined little point that made her face even more attractively shaped. Ruth was developing into a beautiful woman but it was not so much the beauty of face and skin and figure, as the beauty of fine intelligence. And with the Spring, the reward of all her work and her loneliness began to materialize. Looking back, she traced it to the letter Langley sent in answer, to her idea the Big Idea, as she sometimes called it. "Your plan seems excellent to me," lie wrote. "Of course I'd like to come back and go over that ground again. You'll need a lot of capital behind you, it will take millions to finance such an idea. And. to be frank, there are hundreds of small towns in the country where your idea would apply as well. It's all a matter of getting your money for it in Marketown." A few weeks later Phe had another letter in which he said he was coming baclto Marketown on his way through to New York, and would see her then. So it happened thru one Spring afternoon Ruth took Langley out over the flat fields beyond the river unproductive land that yielded nothing but weeds and rocks and mosquitoes. "You see," she be?an, "I'd like to get our Cvl? Committer to buy up pome of this land, or get. a grant of it from the town which would have to buy it from the two men who now own it. It could be bought very cheap ji:st now. "Then I want the committee, or the town, to offer it free as factory sites. Tli at will bring us factories, perhaps not large ones, but oven a few small ones would help. If we wanted to develop any one industry here, we could offer special inducements in the way of water and power and such things. The factories once here, the laborers must follow. In that way we build up our town, of course. The merchants will back us since more people means more trade. "Of course! I suppose you've been reading of the developments along ihese lines of the other cities. In New England, for instance " They talked it over for an hour. Then Ruth went on with the rest of her idea. "Meantime, we must build homes for the workers. And that's the thing I'm interested in. I don't want rows of brick or wood houses, as -we have in cur present factory district. I want lo take a square of ground, and build a solid block of house all around it, varying the style so each will be pretty, and all cf them go well together forth Troy, N. T.

yet so there will be a variety of design. I'll show you pictures of some of the model cottages I have in mind, in an achitectural magazine at home. The houses will face the four streets of the square, and in the hollow centre of the block, I'll make a park instead of a lot of backyards." "That's been done, but it can be done again, and better," Langley approved. The girl laughed. Her eyes were alight with enthusiasm, her pale cheeks had flushed and she was feeling happy. "I'm crazy over this idea," she said. "You know, I've got this whole factory city planned out already. I've come out here and marked with stones places where I wanted streets and by the way, I don't want streets that run straight. I want large streets, sometimes curving, and all laid out so as io give a beautiful effect. "Now d6 you see the four white stones?" she pointed to four places in the field before them. "There, for instance, is a block marked off. The houses are built around it Inside come along and I'll show you," she began walking until they were in the ctntre of her imaginary block. "Inside here is the great common backyard of all these families. The children can play here, safe from tha streets. I'll have swmgs and things for them, and where this spring and little swamp is, I'll have a tiuy pond dug for the children, and around it benches where the people can sit in the evenings if they want, and I'll plant trees to keep it shady and cool in summer." , She walked on, talking and planning as she went. The man followed behind her, sometimes approving, sometimes amused, sometimes showing her where her enthusiasm was carrying her past the line of practical sense. "And this is only part of it," she said a3 they started home towards the town. "I'll tell you more tomorrow." "You are a wonder, Ruth," the man said, in frank admiration of her. ( Tomorrow Letters. ) Heart Problems Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 19 years old, graduated from high school and business school and am now employed at a fairly good salaryI cannot understand myself. I do not think I am conceited when I say that I am considered in my home town as one of the best looking girls. I am always stylishly dressed and neat and clean. I try to make it a point to be friendly and pleasant on all occasions, always have a smile for all my acquaintances, and yet people, especially boys, stand in awe of me. 11 the boys and young men in town are polite to me, always tip their hats nicely and speak and smile, but that is all. My girl friends tell me nice things boys have said about me, that I am one of the nicest girls in town, good-looking, etc. Could it be that I am too nice? I realize that I am not like other girls, do not "gad about" like most of my friends, never go an inch out of my way to get a date, for I am disgusted with thewayi girls-run after boys and am perfectly contented to go to the show with my parents or brother. But I don't like to have young men whom I have known say that they wished for an introduction or that they They are Happy d Well You Should Be the Same

A LARGE number of women's ailments are not surgical ones. Serious displacements or radical changes have not yet taken place. A tiny part in a fine clock may become loose and cause the clock to gain or lose. If not attended to in time, the part mayfall from its place and cause serious trouble. So it is with women's ailments, they start from simple causes ; but if allowed to continue, produce serious conditions. When the warning symptoms are first noted, take Lydia E. Pinkham's V egetable Compound to relieve the present troublesome ailment, and to prevent the development of serious trouble.

wished they could go with me, com-1 pletely wither or become frozen and nervous when I appear on the scene. I have never loved a boy. I some times think I. am not capable of love. I cannot stand sentiment nor will I listen to flattery. Am I too particular? Every one has her own ideas of love and marriage. Mine Is that there Is a true mate for everyone, who will come in time. For tha reason I will not listen to light-love making from boys. Am I not right? DOT. Girls of your age are very often introspective. Do not analyze your motives so carefully. People are very much alike in spite of their differences. Take it for granted that others respond to kindness just as quickly as you do and that they are hurt by indifference. It is decidedly a mistake to "swallow whole" what your friends tell you about what people say. Believe what you yourself hear and see. Only too often the nice things people have said are exaggerated for he purpose of flattery. Be as sweet, gentle and charming as you can, and accept as cheerfully as possible what life offers you. 7ou cannot force conditions to come your way, but you can be happy under the conditions which do come. Give the love to the world that you so crave, and sometime you will reap the benefit. As you give love you will grow more lovable. Be charitable. Never condemn other girls for listening to tales of love. You cannot judge what you would do under like circumstances until you experience such circumstances yourself. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl of 19 years and have been going with a boy for a little while. Where I work there is a boy I like. My friends say I am smitten on him, but I am not. What can I do to forget him? I have told him not to speak to me, but he does. I want to forget him. B. E. K. You ought not to have trouble in forgetting him. If you do not care for him, tell him frankly not to speak to you, and let you alone. A little firmness on your own part should bring results at once.

In "hard times" it is more difficult to make MONEY and "GET AHEAD" than it is in good times, you, therefore, require MORE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL VIGOR, STRENGTH, and endurance ia "hard times" to help you overcome the numerous difficulties, obstacles and tumbling' blocks you are bound to meet. Now as to taking Nuxated Iron, what would YOU SAY a man should do if he had WEAK LEGS or no legs but had to get his food by rwnning after it would you advise him to get a pair of good strong legs if be cooid do no? The case is not exactly parallel but if YOU REQUIRE MORE BODILY AND MENTAL VIGOR to get ahead in "hard times" then isn't It good economy to purchase anything yoa can which helps make you stronger?
