The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

CHAPTER 75. A SUDDEN CHANGE.. Ruth bad known for a long time that there was no sympathy to be expected from her mother. But she had not felt it while her father lived, for be was always there to talk to.

always ready with some whimsical answer, or with quick sympathy above all, with an understanding that required no words to make itself felt. Now she felt sometimes that she missed this more than anything else in the world. Little Mrs. Belding offered all the sympathy she could an unintelligent sympathy that made her decide that everything Ruth did was right and everything her mother did was wrong. Mrs. Belding still lived at the O'Neils but she bad not paid any "rent," as she called it, since Ruth began earning enough to cover the family expenses. As the little old lady could get scarcely any work now, she put in her time helping about the bouse and mending and making such clothes as Ruth would allow her to do. In the evening Ruth would stay in ber room and read, and she would come down then and sit with her, never talking unless Ruth talked, but sitting quietly darning or reading the newspaper until 9 o'clock, when she laid aside whatever she was doing and went up to her room to bed. So the girl, who had been the very center of the little town's social life, suddenly dropped out of frivolity entirely that spring. A few of the older and more serious members of her club came to see her and occassionally she dined at their houses, and Langley

came up often for part of an evening. But she bad, at last, almost as much time to read as she wanted. "I believe you bring me a new book every time you come," she said to him once. "Not quite," he answered. "Besides, T read them all first. Here's one published this week it's one of the best analytical studies of a man's reaction to misfortune that I ever read. You'll find " Ruth opened the book. Sometimes when he came up, he sat and smoked while she read aloud, sometimes he lounged in the couch hammock on the porch while the girl read to herself. Ruth had screened in a part of the big porch and had bought a lamp and comfortable chairs and a table and green wickerwork for it. It was her one extravagance after the payment of the first "dividend." It was shortly after this and towards fall, that the Civic Committee told her

they were sending her to New York. Her expenses were to be paid and the "dividend" had given her enough to pay the rest of the bills, and quite a little over. "You'll have a lot of work to do for them, so they're going to raise your salary and give you an expense account," Langley explained. He had dropped in on the way home from the meeting, and was smoking cigarettes. The Andersons had come down that evening and were sitting there also. 'That will be wonderful.- Ruth, you'll' get a lot of clothes, won't you? Mrs Anderson asked. "To wear climbing around the building operations?" Ruth laughed in an

swering. "You can't imagine how

much mud there is in our new town! "And do look at the new styles of

halrdressing," the lady went on. "I'm

so tired of the way I do mine, but I can't think of a better way. I wish I

could go too." "You'll see some of our old fellow citizens I suppose," Mr. Anderson said. "Ther's Tim Turner let's see, he was engaged to Myra Weed, wasn't he? They're in New York. Aren't they married?" "Well, for two years nearly," Mrs. Anderson said. "And you should just see the picture of the baby Myra sent borne. It's as cute! Do look them up, Ruth." 'Of course," Ruth answered, and suddenly dreaded going to the city. "Of course you'll take your mother." Mrs. Anderson seemed to think it settled. "If you're wise, you won't," Langley said, after the young couple had left. 'Don't do it, Ruth. You'll be busy,

you've got to spend some of your time with a very smart set that she won't like and she won't try to be nice to them it she doesn't like them. This is a business trip, but it's a change too, and I want it to be as complete a change for you as possible." "I don't want to go," Ruth said. The man looked at her in astonishment. "I know, you'll thing me temperamental. I don't want to go but I appreciate being sent it's a great honor and a great responsibility and I'm go-

J ing of course. And I'll do my best for

tnem. nut ru nave to ask motner. She hasn't had much fun in her life, she might like the city." But Mrs. O'Neil did not seem to enthuse over the idea. She bought herself some more black dresses when Ruth received the money. And she and Mrs. Belding started to make some new things for Ruth. But when it came to the actual question of buy

ing tickets and making hotel reservar tions, Bhe said suddenly "I Just don't believe IH go. ' You can get along alone, so I'm not needed. If I was, I go-. 1 always try to do my duty. But you're very capable of taking care of yourself, tor all you're not 22. I'd rather go see Sarah. I'd like to spend the fall and winter with her." "If you'd prefer it " "Well, I would. ' When yon come back from the .city, Mrs. Belding will be here to take care of you. You can send me an allowance if you want " Ruth wondered at this sudden change of plans, but she was so busy packing and getting work done, she bad not much time to think about it. The day before she left, Langley came to the house. Tomorrow Langley. '

self. Any man who would say that he turned away his wife because she was "cold" and "old," especially "old," is bad at heart. - Probably - he was brutal as people say and his wife lost her love for him and became indifferent and cold. When a man married he takes' his wife for better or worse and cannot cast her aside merely because he wakes up to the fact that she is old. The photographer liked your work and because you cannot be with him in any other way he is willing to marry you so that you can make life easier for him.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 29 years old and have been married. In December I went to work for a man who is separated from his wife. He Is a photographer and works at his home. No one comes to the home. It is his private home and be delivers all his work. I was alone with him all the time and he treated me just fine,

but the neighbors talked about us so that I had to leave. I have to work for a living and the job was easy and a good chance to learn a trade. He seemed to have had a lot of trouble and so have I and so we became very close friends. He is a lot older, than I. He has three mar ried children and is fifty-five years old. But I love him and have a chance to get l good . home. He asked me to marry him when he got his divorce. He said I did better than his wife or his children. He said he loved me. Now his wife has a divorce and we are free to marry. Do you think he is too old for me. and do you think he would get tired of me as he did of his wife? I heard so much about him, but I can't believe it all. Everybody I talk to that knows him says he is a brute and that he treated his wife awfully and made a regular slave of their home and kept everything. He told me she was cold and indifferent and too old. I am not old and he loves me. What would you do. I am so worried. My first husband was so mean and I have had so much trouble. I would like your advice. MUCH TROUBLED. Do not marry the man. You may be sure that every one who knows him would not judge him so harshly without reason. He has not earned respect or he would have friends. Besides, the man has condemned him-
