The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUB1NCAM

Chapter 98 THE NEW TIM She did not move until he made a motion as though he were going to come to her. Then she closed the door behind her and walked into the room, with her head high and the most dignified air she could assume. She went to one of the big upholstered chairs and sat down in it, and faced him. "Well?" she asked, feeling very much like a tragedy queen, only a little too frightened to recognize the humor that played through the melodrama. Having gained his point and forced her to come in and listen to him, Tim wa3 suddenly at a loss as to what to say next. It was plain that he had not actually expected Ruth would obey fhis sudden command of his, and he certainly did not know what to do with his victory. "I want to apologize, I want to apologize," he repeated several times, walking up and down the room. "You've already done that," Ruth answered, her tones as cool as she could make them. "You were going to send

the apology by a letter." It was evident, too, that Ruth was not going to

help him out. "I don't mean for tonight," Tim said suddenly finding the words he wanted to say. "I want to apologlize for everything all down the line. Everything I've ever done or said." This made him feel better. It was after all what he wanted to say Ruth had helped him out without meaning to, since she had given him the suggestion for the words. He stopped walking about and began searching

through his pockets. He pulled out fome cigarettes, lit one and leaned back against the table smoking. He wasn't looking at Ruth.so she looked at him. still wondering about this new development. He wasn't at all the Tim of the old days. As he leaned back against the table, his shoulders drooped, after the manner of all men tied to a desk during the day. It gave an old line to his back. His head was drooped as he stared at the carpet, which somehow made his chin always his worst featurelook very bad. It was always weak. In this position he looked almost chinless. His skin too it was sallow. She began counting up why, Tim was only 25. Why should he begin to look mature? To be sure, Myra was losing her youth, but that was from over-indulgence, that was plain fat. But Tim's body was getting the bettled-down look of the "desk man" his clothes hung in the lines of the clothes of under-office workers. They stretched over his shoulders and they bagged at the knees and elbows. Once again he was sorry for him. After all, did Myra know how to take care of him? He should be made to do exercises she would have coaxed him on long walks and country climbs, made him play tennis or golf, or join a Y. M. C. A. anything td keep him looking fit. She relaxed her rigid position and her frigid manner. "What's the use of apologizing what's its use ever? It doesn't change anything " "I suppose I'm doing it to make my

self feel better." Tim still stared moodily at the' floor, his cigarette sometimes in his band, sometimes hanging loosely In his mouth, the smoke curling up around his face. "I never felt right about that affair of ours. I was too much of a coward to write you after it was over. I could not tell Myra for fear she might feel badly, she liked you so " Ruth glanced up at him again at this reference to Myra. Did he know that Myra had deliberately played with him and led him on, though knowing all the time that she. Ruth, was in love with him? But he did not that was evident from his expression and the way he talked. "And I tried writing you, but I couldn't. It sounds rotten to say this, you'll be mad at me again like you

were before. You'll say I ought to go

home and apologize to Myra for talking like this. But I am only telling you the truth as the thing happened." Ruth still sat quietly, waiting to hear him finish. "I couldn't tell Myra how it was I mean about our affair, or else she would have been all cut up over it. And I couldn't tell you about Myra for I knew you would feel badly." He hesitated waiting for Ruth to answer this, but she etill said nothing. "So I don't know yet how you found out. Myra said she would write. If I'd told her, she might have well broken it gently. As it was I suppose she wrote a letter that showed how happy she felt being engaged to me, and it must have come as an awful shock to you." "Not so much of a shock. I suspected ' "Well, I hadn't been writing to you quite the same, I know. But I .said I was busy. I well, there was more or less of a love affair between us oh, I don't mean anything serious. Only Myra showed so plainly she'd rather sit home and talk to me than go to theatres and parties with an exciting rrowd. Anyway." he said suddenly, "we weren't actually engaged when I came to New York, were we?" Suddenly it occurred to Ruth why he was talking. She knew what he was leading up to. She held tightly to the arms of her chair and waited.

Heart Problems

WORRIED GIRL Without printing your long letter. sufSce it to say that the best thing tn do is to ignore the whole matter. Gossip won't influence your friends, and you need not care about what others say. Go serenely your own way of doing right, and everything will come out all right. BROWN EYES At IS years of age you have little business to think about marrying. Life is still before you, and

you wm proDaoiy una mat u tne young r

man loves you, that you can decide on the question of marriage after he has completed college. DEAR MRS. THOMPSON I am, a daily reader of your problems and when I read of the sorrow of wives and mothers, my heart aches for them. I have been married four years to one of the best men and we have a baby. My husband has always been good to me and makes over me now as much as the day we were married. He never finds fault with me and is never cross. I wish I could tell all the wives who read this column wherein lies a married woman's happiness, but I cannot. "I don't think there is any specific rule for natures are so different, but I can tell them this: Love like everything else on earth, must be fed to grow. I never forget to tell my husband how good he is, how nice he looks at certain times, how much I love him. A man likes those little things and woman who is in love likes

to say them, for in turn it makes mm tell her how much he cares. "And to the girls who are getting married today or tomorrow, let me beg of you not to let yourself grow old to your husband. Always be his sweetheart. Set on hi3 lap and muss his hair and don't let him come home and find your hair uncombed or yourself untidy. A man hates a rut and he is forever searching for something new. ALWAYS HAPPY." Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 16 years old and am madly in love with a boy of 18. He loves me and gave me a diamond. We want to get married Should we elope? He has suggested it several times and I know we would make a good man and wife. R. You should not elope. You are too young to be married.

Numerous complaints have been re-j

ceived recently by the agricultural experiment station, Purdue university, from various parts of Indiana about the melon bug or striped cucumber beetle, as it is commonly called. It is

possible to prevent damage by this!

common pest by dusting the plants with calcium arsenate and gypsum. The beetle attacks melon and cucumber vines almost as soon as they appear above the ground. Not onlv do they attack the vines, but in addition they lay eggs in the soil which produce slender white worms which mine the roots of these plants. The remedy Is calcium arsenate and gypsum or land plaster, one pound of the former to twenty of the latter, thoroughly mixed. Dust the plants as soon as the first leaves appear, and thereafter once a week or oftener for several applications. Often one application a week for three or four weeks is sufficient to protect the vines. If the patch is not too large the dust can be applied by using a can with a few nail holes punched in the bottom. Calcium arsenate may not be regularly handled by an insecticide dealer, but he can secure it on short notice.

GOOD FOR WOMEX, TOO Foley Cathartic Tablets have long been a favorite physic with men. Women suffer as much as men do from indigestion and constipation, and they also require a scientific remedy to keep the stomach sweet, the liver active and the bowels regular. Mrs. Geo. Powers, 84 Winthrop Ave.. Revere. Mass., writes: "I have taken Foley Cathartic Tablets and I recommend them to everyone." Thev banish biliousness, headache, bloating. A. G.

Hair Often Ruined By Careless Washing

THE National Automobile Chamber of Commerce announces that six million cattle, hogs, and sheep were shipped by motor truck, from farms and feed lots to stockyards, during 1920; most of them were moved in the territory served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Before the advent of the motor truck, the farmer drove his cattle to the loading station, and hauled his hogs in the small, slow-moving, horse-drawn wagons. This practice called for a great expenditure of time and labor, and caused the animals to arrive in an overheated condition, which meant a heavy shrinkage and a consequent lower market value. Today much of this loss is eliminated by the quicker, more efficient method of transportation. Middle West farmers have come to look upon the motor truck as a dependable, economical aid in the prompt and profitable marketing of their live stock. By reason of its comprehensive system for distributing gasoline and other petroleum products, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been a potent factor in stabilizing the use of the motor truck on the ferms throughout the Middle West. Whether the farmer lives on a main traveled highway, or on a remote cross road, he depends upon the dark green tank wagon of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to supply his needs. The dependability of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service is recognized by the farmers of the Middle West the most important food-producing area in the world. In supplying the petroleum needs of the farmer, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is rendering a service of signal importance to every inhabitant of the territory served. A dependable supply of gasoline means a dependable supply of food. . Such service is possible only because the Board of Directors of the Standard Oil Company appreciate their responsibility to the public, and because 25,000 men and women who make up this organization realize the weight of this responsibility and the importance of their individual tasks. While the equipment of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is vast and complete, it is the spirit of the personnel which makes for efficiency. The mere physical equipment would be impotent in the hands of the passive or inexperienced. Standard Oil Company Indiana) 910 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago, 111.
