The Girl Who Had No Chance , , By MARION RUBINCAM

Chapter 68. MYRA'S IDEAS. Duncan O'Niel recovered. That is, he lay flat in bed, and he looked almost as lifeless as the morning when Ruth ru6hed home at her mother's summons. But the big soul in the little body was outward bound, and even as inexperienced an eye as Ruth's could see that. But affairs retured more or less to normal. There were no boarders in the bouse now, their noise and their presence had always annoyed the sensitive nerves of the man, and now that he was ill tne whole place was kept quiet for him. The nurse stayed on some weeks. "Though I don't see as she's any good and she costs 525 a week,"Mrs. O'Niel was apt to grumble. "She is useful, and Dr. Lane wants her, and I can manage the money," Ruth answered. But by and by even she could be dispensed with, and Mrs. O'Niel could take her place. Meantime the autumn had gone and winter had set in. The building of the cottages was delayed by bad weather., but some progress was made. By spring, the whole "addition" was to go through on a big scale. The cottages now under way were to help house the very builders who were to construct the model factory town. And Duncan O'Niel lay in the huge bed, a shrunken little figure under the bedclothes. Ruth had bought him a table to hold books, that tipped up, supporting the book so he could see it. and that extended over the bed so the page was convenient to read, and he need not hold the volume This in-j genious article of furniture was his constant joy. For though the body wac failing rapidly, the mind was as keen and clear as ever, and for that Ruth was eternally thankful. Three evenings a week she was reading law with the one prosperous lawyer in the little town, but as this did not take more than an hour or so. there was always time to chat with her father and to read to him after she got back. They read a great, deal together. Long before, when she was a child, they had gone through the youthful classics; later they bad read the best nf the standard men. from Scott and Thackeray, to some of our own earlier men, Fenirnore Cooper. Hawthorne, and of course, the best of the poets. He had traiued her in Shakespeare since she was a child when she react Lamb's Tales, and later the plays themselves, and lately she had been Retting the other Elizabethan dramalists from the library and reading Brauraonet and Fletcher. John Ford, and others One summer day they had read French writers, though the library possessed but few translations, and once they had purchased the best of the Russian novelists' works. So the girl had an extraordinarily zood fund of culture and knowledge from her father's bookish training a culture that gave her an impatience with the literary taste, or lack of it. ihat existed among her comrades. Duncan decided it wa3 time they read pp some of the newer writers, so Ruth, glad she had the money, sent for Kipling. Moore, Conrad, Wells, Chesterton, Tarkington. and others of what her father called -"the moderns;" delighting in the fact that she could afford Ihis gift to him. So, living in constant anxiety, almost dreading the ring of the phone bell in her office, she read and worked and planned, and occasionally danced and rode, while Christmas came and went. And once more Myra wrote: "I've been thinking how dull it must be at home," was one of her first sentences. "Mother doesn't give much news, she says she hardlv sees vou, that you're busy working and that your father's worse. j "I'm pretty busy myself. I suppose , mother told you when the baby came. but as ehe says she hasn't seen you and as I've stopped writing to every-! one else at home, I thought you might not know. It's a boy, and was born in November, and we called him Tim, of course. I think I'll call him Junior, instead of Tim. I think that's quite smart, don't you? I believe all the fashionable people use it, when the .-ons rp naniprl fnr ilie fnfhcri lln lnnk-4 likp Tim tnn un.H u hon lio I laughs hi eves squint up in such a funny fashion." The girl had to stop reading for a moment. She thought she had stifled her love for this man until Myra's letters brought it up again. And always the letters brought it up in a new form. One letter had come when they were engaged, when Ruth felt, like an outsider. :uid bitterly resented too fjet that her home necessity had made her lose fho chance to keep Tim's love.

was heart hungry again, but hungry this time for a little place of her own, and the love and protection and comradeship that true marriage always means. And now her heart ached and her arms ached for the child, the month old baby whose eyes squinted up when he laughed. She would have given up everything, every plan, every ambition and every hope of a career, to have held in her arms the baby whose eyes

laughed, the baby she wanted to call her own. But she had taught herself repression, and she stifled, or tried to stifle, these thoughts, and went on with the letter. "There's not much to tell. We live near 125th Street, and there's a lot of movies near. We go often to pass the evening and I hire someone to watch the baby. There's a theatre near here and real vaudeville, too, and we go sometimes. But I don't get about much, the baby takes time now, and it costs money. Still, there's plenty of life. The city's the place! It's a shame you have to stick around in a little one-horse town. I wouldn't live in a little town again for millions." Ruth laughed suddenly. Tomorrow "Invitat ions." Heart Problems Dear Mrs. Thompson I am a young man 22 years of aire.. I am working with mv father who is in business here. We had a young girl working with us for a while whom I love with all my heart and she said she loved me. When she left she said she would come back and stay with me when I was alone. I did not know her address at the time she left. It was two weeks before she came back and gave me her address. I have called to ec her, but can't find her at home. She has not come back to see mc since. Is it true that she does not love me. or is it my father's temper that is the cause of her not coming Please give me advice. It will be hard to lose , her now. WONDERING. A misunderstanding seem to be the cause of your trouble. I would advise you to write a letter to the girl and! ask her to set a time lor you to call upon her. If she disregards your letter, you may as well make up your mind that she does not care lor you. If she loted you deeply your father's temper would not be reason enough for her to give you up. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young girl of 19 and I have been going with a young man of 26. He is very nlceto me and also very jealous, but I don't seem to care for him a3 much as I did when I met him. I go with othei young men and it makes him very jealous. He has asked me several times to marry him. but 1 don't care to. Two weeks aS lle came to see me intoxicated. I like him better than any man I ever met, but I do not feel ready to settle down. Please give me your advice. LONESOME BLOND Y. Do not marry the man since you do not love him. You are very young and should wait for someone for whom you will have greater love and respect. Suburban CHESTER, Ind. Mr. and Mrs. James Webster entertained for the birthday anniversary of T. S. Martin, Sunday. The following were present: Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Martin, Mr. and Mrs. James Webster and daughter.

Nuxated Iron Imitator Comes To Grief in U. S. Court ORDERED TO PAY $1,000 DAMAGES and to cent using the words "Nax and Iron" on the fraudulent imitation. Another Nuxated Iron imitator was recently caught in Tennessee and given a heavy fine for'Tiolation of the criminal law Bat the rascal are not all caught yet o bowaro of substitute How to tell the genuine.

IN LIFE THERE AIRE "FAKE" DIAMONDS AND REAL DIAMONDS. Tor real diamonds there are always imitations and substitutes, but nobody evr heard of s substitute for a "fake" diamond-IT'S THE THINGS OF REAL VALUE THAT ARE AFFLICTED WITH IMITATIONS.

Nuxated Iron has its substitutes and fraudulent imitations, the reason is plain. NUXATED IRON IS ORGANIC IRON LIKE THE IRON IN YOUR BLOOD and like the iron in spinach, lentils and apples. It is far more expensive to manufacture Nuxated Iron than ordinary metallic or minej&l iron which people usually take, and which is made merely by the action of strong acids on small pieces of iron. .

OVER 4,800.800 PEOPLE ANNUALLY ARE VSING NUXATED IRON TO HELP GIVE THEM RICH RED BLOOD, REVITALIZE THEIR WORNOUT EXHAUSTED NERVES AND INCREASE THEIR BODILY AND MENTAL VIGOR. The fraudulent imitator reasoned that by offering a prod act with similar name for a little less money which he claimed to be jnst as good, that be could tool thousand! of people into buying it, and thousands have been so "fooled" and often have only found it out after they failed to get the benefits they have been accustomed to receive from the genuine organic Nuxated Iron. Therefore if you have taken some other iron product without result this doe not prove Nuxated Iron, will not help you try it on our guarantee below. At last some of the fraudulent imitator of Nutated Iron have been hard hit. One has been ordered by the United State District Court to pay One Thousand Dollar Daanaee and forever to cease from using the words "Nux and Iron." Another has been given a heavy one
