The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

CHAPTER. 105. .... v THE REAL. MYRA There was a sudden silence in the room, a silence so intense that Ruth felt the blood rushing to her face and fancied she heard it beating in her ears. She wondered whether she had heard correctly. "I came to say she needn' have lied to me over the phone last night." Those were Myra's words she had not misunderstood. She looked at Myra, white-faced, suddenly afraid, afraid as though she had indeed done something wrong. "I I what did you say?" Ruth managed at last. Myra, having delivered her blow, settled back into the corner of", the

couch to watch its effect. Her gray eyes had suddenly lost their sallow, pleasant look. They were concentrated, intent. Strange to say, Myra's face had more expression in this nasty mood than in her usual complaceDt one. A little smile; a smirk, Gaby called it later played around her lips. "You heard what I said," she answered, impudently. Ruth was left perfectly helpless. All her instinct was to justify herself, to come to her own defence. How did Myra know Tim was there? Had Tim told her but that was unbelievable. Had she heard his voice while Ruth had the phone open but he had not spoken, he merely shook his head violently when he knew Myra was asking about him. Or wss Myra bluffing? And was she simply saying this to watch is effect on Ruth? In that case, she had confirmation of her suspicions, for Ruth was too honest to disguise her feelings, or to dissemble, and she knew it. If Myra had said that merely to find out something she wanted lo know, she possessed her answer from Ruth's face and the girl knew it. Gaby took hold of the situation suddenly. Not a flicker of expression had gone over her face when Myra spoke. She leaned back, too, her hand under her chin, watching Myra. "Oh, I say," she said, putting a slightly contemptuous drawl into her voice, " "lie is rather a stroEg word, my dear girl. Just what do you meau by what you said?" "All right, I'll tell you what I mean." Myra threw her head back and looked defiantly at Gaby. "Last night I I had a message for Tim. So I called him up here " "How did you know he was here?" Gaby put in. "Never mind, I knew. Ruth an

swered; her voice was awful funny. I knew right enough he was here from the way she spoke. And I asked her I wanted to call her up anyway about something else and she said he wasn't. I knew it was a lie, but I thought I'd come down and see her today, and just tell her so." "That's the second or third time you've used a word not ordinarily a:cepted in polite society," Gaby said, sssuming a very magnificent air. "A lie's a lie." s "Really! How very oddly you put 'things!" Gaby was in her element now. She had Just enough drawl in

her voice to make her manner to Myra quite superior, yet not enough to seem too artificial. "Do I?" Myra was growing angry, and when she grew angry, she was apt to become a little loud. This seemed to be what Gaby wanted. Ruth saw her eyes sparkle. She was still in her impish mood and she was evidently going to taunt this other girl until she made her completely lose her temper and so had her completely weakened. "You do, you know. You always have. Only you used to keep your temper rather better when I knew you some years ago. But after all, my dear girl, aren't you being a little

shall we say tactless to your hostess?" "You needn't put on airs with me,"

Myra said shrilling, having lost her eelf-control entirely. "I don't care if you are baking a couple of hundred

a week, and Tim only making forty.

You weren't anything but a chorus girl when I knew you, and you couldn't have held a job ever if you hain't been good looking " "My dear child, I never boasted of my intellectual attainments," Gaby had her drawl quite perfect by this time. "I draw a fair salary because I look well in atrociously short skirts and have a fairly decent voice. That seems beside the question. But why did you come here to insult your oldest friend particularly after the way you treated that friend some years ago?" "I never treated her any way. I couldn't help it if Tim fell in love with me. He never was in love with her anyway! He told me so." To Ruth the silence that followed this fairly throbbed probably because she could still hear the blood beating through her ears. It made her a little dizzy. But Gaby still had the situation in her hands. Ruth was quite incapable of handling it. And Gaby did the best thing possible. She sat perfectly still, letting the silence go on and on. Ruh, her tea forgotten, sat in her chair, Myra leaned back defiantly in the corner of the couch. And the third, the little actress, never lost her imperson, al attitude. She, too, leaned back against the couch, her chin in her hand, looking at Myra as though she

were a curious and strange little being, something to be studied.

The silence drew out. Even Myra

felt it, for the red ran into her cheeks

and she dropped her eyes. TomorrowGaby takes a hand.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am In very deep trouble and I am told by my dearest friend that it is. my own fault

I have been married fifteen years and during that time I have been very selfish, considering myself in everything and nagging at my husband. My husband loved me beyond a doubt when we were married. Then we had a baby girl and in spite of his love for her he seemed to care just as much or more for me. I was not very well after the baby was born and so my husband helped around the house a great deal. After I was stronger I didn't want to do any more than I had when I was sick. My husband worked all day and then came home and worked. Very often I would be lying down and would tell him he would have to get supper. Last winter our child died. From that time on I noticed a change in my husband. He became very silent and cold. Now he has told me that he is going away and will not live with me again. He says I can have the house and everything that is in it, and he will send me a hundred dollars every month as long as he lives. I don't know what to do. Now I can see how dearly I love him and how impossible it will be for me to get along without him. I have begged

and promised, but nothing seems tochange him. In about a week he will have everything arranged and then he is going. Please tell me what I can do. Iam broken-hearted and would do anything if I thought it would keep my husband. BLEEDING-HEART. I doubt if you can do anything to make your husband stay, but you can try to make him come back. To do so you will have to turn over a new leaf; you will have to give up your lazy habits and work. Become worth

while and of service in the world. Do not 'let your efforts be prompted en

tirely by the desire to have your hus

band back. You must realize that you will be much happier if you know your

life is useful. Do your best and contentment will come in one form or

another.

Starved While

Eating

Atk yotrr grocer for BETSY ROSS" and be tare you get the genuine

YOU doubtless read, during the war, of the German raider that slunk into New York harbor after long months of successful raiding. The sailors were pale and weak, although they had eaten sumptuously from captured foods literally starved while eating because the food was lacking in vitamines. Right here at home thousands are feeding their stomachs lavishly yet starving their bodies through this same shortage of vitamines. Be sure your family gets enough diamines. They are found in fresh natural foods grains, green vegetables, milk they are abundant in "BETSY ROSS" bread. You probably eat "BETSY ROSS" because you like it, but eat more of it for every slice gives vital nourishment that most foods lack. "BETSY ROSS" insures the retention of fullest vitamine content by following a scientific process perfected through years of experience. No other bakery has the "BETSY ROSS" process. Only by buying "BETSY ROSS" are you sure of getting the full measure of vitamines that insures joyous healti, and resistance
