The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

OUTWARD BOUND Synopsis of Preceding Chapters Ruth O'NIel and Myra Weed, chums since childhood, decide to go to the city together when they have finished school, Myra to enjoy herself, Ruth to take a business course, Bince she must earn. money. But the money to send Ruth must be used to take her father south; he has always been an invalid. Ruth stays home, feeling bitterly that she has no chance to learn how to earn money. The bitterness Is increased when Tim Turner, who has always been in love with her, ?oes to the city to earn money and falls in love with Myra. She feels that she has been deprived of her chance to earn money and her chance to VVft and be loved. When she hears that Tim and Myra are to be married she is heartbroken.

blowly she begins to rebuild her

life. She meets Langley Williams but no sentiment exists because he is in love with a girl who had thrown him over for a richer man. Ruth has an underpaid position in a real estate office. She sees the possibility pf building a model factory town in the fields beyond her own little town. One day

.she Is called home on news that her

lather is dying.

Chapter 67 It was Iangley's words, "Steady Ruth, steady." that keDt the eirl ud.

The quiet tone, the note of command in it, gave her just the strength she needed to get her over the one moment of shock. She reached the machine, Langley behind her. And they turned and started back over the rough roads. She remembered afterwards that her little office assistant was in the front seat and that he dropped off while the car was still running when they reached the centre of the town. Langley was behind with her, but he said nothing. Then just before they reached the house, he said: 'Tie looked fairly well the other night. It is probably only some little excitement that has brought on a heart attack. He's had them before." Ruth caught the hopeful tone, but she shook her head. "He's had them and recovered. But you know how 'sensible Mother is about these- things. If it wasn't bad, she wouldn't have phoned." She did not remember for several days whether Langley came into the house or not. Her mother met her at the top of the stairs, a portly figure of tragedy. "You've come in time, Ruth," she said solemnly and led the way down the hall to Duncan O'Niel's bedroom. Ruth entered the room trembling.

tor she'ok his head. "Yes," he said softly. But he had thought the girl meant "Is he alive?" There was still breath in the little bodv, and still hope in the doctor's heart. But the girl did not

know this. She thought her father

was dead. And he looked so. He seemed to have sunk, in some cl.rious way. His

eyes, always so extraordinarily large and deep set, had almost dropped back into the sockets, the rounded part under the closed lids, stood out in an almost uncanny fashion. The cheeks were hollow, the neck had strange cords with deep furrows between them. Ruth knelt for a long time, not even thinking, only looking at the little figure, and sometimes contracting her throat where a great swelling lump was choking her. Dr. Lane spoke again: "I can get Miss Martin, she's the best trained nurse In town. She knows what to do. I can't do anything more than 1 have, except hope, of course." Ruth stirred and stood up suddenly. "Do you mean Jie isn't ?" "No, he's not dead. He'll be conscious again, I think. Of course it's the beginning of the end. I'm afraid he won't be able to get up again." Ruth gave a sudden little sound, like a shuddering sigh. "I thought you meant he was dead." "My dear, my dear, I'm so sorry I didn't understand. But you must know the truth now. I don't know how long it will be " Ruth did not hear any more. At least he was spared for the time.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl of 22 and the only girl at home. I live with my folks on a farm. My mother isn't very well and is not able to do

i the work alone and so I need to stay

home. I help with all the housework, including washing, and we have no conveniences in the house and it makes

a lot of extra step?. I keep the house

asking what clothes are best to choose.

I think the answer is that the most generally useful garment is a dark tailored 6uit. The tailored suit locks well on every woman who holds herself even moderately straight, unless she Is hopelessly stout, And present day styles are particularly good for the normal and the abnormal figure. Skirts are neither extremely tight; the exaggerated shortness is not seen in the very best fashions, and we have not yet (thank goodness) decided on very long skirts. The dresses, still incline toward loose long lines, by far the most graceful and

am appreciated. I never get any spending money. My clothes are fair, but I get very few and "have to coax. My dad is well enough off to keep everything in fine shape. Whenever I ask for money I get turned down. He says he hasn't money or tells me to go out and earn my money. He does not consider mother at all. We do not get along very well at home. Dad never talks over his business and we never know what ne does. Mother keeps up the grocer bill with butter and eggs. I am very fond of trying new dishes, but mother hardly ever approves because it is hard to foot the bills. I have often felt like packing my things and leaving, and I believe I will yet.

"Only something to keep your nerves quiet, you've had a bad shock." she heard him say. "Now, there's no danger for today, but I don't think you had better try to work. Suppose you lie down. Arid when Miss Martin comes I'll have her watch you, too, and keep you quiet." But Ruth walked the hallway restlessly in spite of the quieting drink. The phone rang, its harsh tone sending a shock through her that mada her jump. She answered, it was an inquiry about her father. Then she stuffed the bell with cotton so it made only a faint buzzing.
