The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM
Chapter 112 AWAKE "111 not forget this time." he said. 'You've wakened me, you've put new ambition Into me. I want to do things now. I want to be something. I won't let Myra make me lazy again." Ruth 6miled a littl. Once she would have thrilled to that speech, this time it left her cold and cynical. "I hope you'll do something and be something." she answered, but her tones were formal and polite, they car
ried no conviction. "Also, for your
peace of mind, that you'll forget me.
Myra has had that effect on you twice before, I hopo she will again." "Forget you! Ruth, I don't want to forget you. If 1 don't remember you and all you've done and all you've meant to me. how can I be anythjng?" "Be something by your own efforts, beause you want to be. Don't lean on a woman for your inspiration." "That's easy to say," Tim cried. He came towards her again, and her old nervousness came back. 'After all, fhe had said what she wanted to say. "Now It's time for you to go." she raid. "I've told you how I felt all these years. I've told you I don't think I'm in love with you and that I may be with another man. Gaby says this is the ghost of my old love for you. and not a real affection at all. I shan't see you again, so it won't matter. You'll forget easily, perhaps
I'll forget la time. But I ra not as I don't forget things so easily and I was very much in love once." "And you're going home to marry Lansley "Williams?" "Yes!" Ruth said. He made a Btep again, and she drew back. "No!" she cried. "Oh. I don't know what I'm going to do." But the light of jealousy was blazing la Tim's eyes. It was the old story ever again he forgot when she was rot there, but as soon as he felt her nffectioa had left him entirely, as soon as he thought there was someone else, the love he once had came back. Or the sense of possession came
back, and brought jealousy with it. He reached Ruth before she could say anything or even move, and once more he put his arm3 tightly around her and kissed her with all the old rassion, with all the fervor of those days years ago when they were really engaged and when all life opened out to them as a delightful adventure, to be embarked upon together. Ruth did not move. She could not for the tightness of his arms. But she was not afraid thl3 time, and she was rot fighting her own emotions and own love. She felt his lips against her cheeks and her hair and her own lips. Once she would have held him tightly too, and given herself up to his love and his caress. This time she felt nothing not even
a sense of wrong-doing. She simply felt that an oldfriend had gone temporarily mad and was insisting on holding her too tight, and that his nearness and his kisses were very unpleasant. But she could not get away, so she could only submit. Then he released her, to look at her. She stood off, facing him with her straight, honest look, her cheeks red, her mouth slightly contemptuous. "I'm almost glad you did that," she fid. "It taught me something I wanted to know." Tim probably did not hear her. His brown eyes, always so nice and cheery
and smiling, were alight with love and intense Jealousy. He came and caught her again. She turned her head away, p.nd she could hear him lalking to her. But his words were indistinct. He might have been saying he loved her. She hoped not. She didn't want to hear. She wasn't angry, she wasn't afraid, she was simply uncomfortable in the tightness of his arms and she wished he would let her-go. But Tim seemed to have lost the sensitiveness that he once had in such great measure. Her complete lack of response did not seem to affect him. He kept begging her to not turn her head away. After a little she gave a little shudder, purely because she was impatient and tired and because she wanted him
to release her. Then he did let her
go. And then her remark came back to him. "Why are you almost glad? "What did it teach you?" he asked. Ruth backed away a few steps unconsciously, smoothing her hair. "I'll tell you," she answered quietly. "Langley asked me to marry him. I liked him; I loved him. But I couldn't get away from you fro.n the boy I knew years ago at horde. Langley thought it I saw you again, after all the experiences we've been through separately, that I would get over the old feeling.
"I did, to a certain extent. At least
I saw that I had gone far enough ahead
to be discontented in the sort of home you could afford. Perhaps that's mer
cenary in me, perhaps it's only because I want so many of the beautiful
things of iife, and could not have them
on $40 a week. "But one thing still remained. That was you the personal you. When you kissed me last night I didn't know. When you kissed me tonight I didn't. I didn't even hate you, I simply ave to affection, no feeling of any sort for you. Naturally a kiss from someone I didn't like was distasteful to me. I'm over that the last of the love I had for you. I don't love- you thank Heaven. I'm over it!" And Ruth, who had been through as much as she could bear that day, turned and fled into the other room. Tomorrow The Real Chance.
changed after some physical disorder has been corrected. There is another thing, too, which cannot be overlooked in the moulding
of a disposition, and that is discipline. Some parents are born with an intelligence or instinct to rear children In the right channels. Early in life the children are taught self-control. Other parents, however, Indulge or nag their children until their dispositions are spoiled. I believe, too, that it makes a difference whether the parents really love each other and whether or not they want their children. Surely love Coes far in in bringing harmony and sweetness in the home life. -
xou wui see that tnere are many things which contribute to disposition

person is sweet while another is bit

while it breaks another.

"AT YOUR SERVICE"
Dear Mrs. Thompson: You. receive
so many letters and probably meet so
many people that you can perhaps make this clear to me: "Why is it that some people are ju3t naturally loveable and sweet. Every one seems to acknowledge them as lovely, sweet dispositioned people. I have in mind just three such people.
They are positively the loveliest people I have ever met and are well liked. I notice they are kind and considerate and pleasing to every one they meet all the time, and are not in the least self-conscious or conceited although two of them .ire very nice looking
girls. The third one is
looking ,but one of the dearest women
one would ever wish to meet. Her life has been one of service to others. I do not put looks first, although I am not positively ugly, but I could never be in the position these three girls are. It is forever a trial to do the good and kind things and I am self-conscious. How can I overcome
this? Don't you think that some people are just naturally the nice loveable
kind while others could try a lifetime
and not be as sweet for all their efforts? VERY MUCH PUZZLED. Heredity, environment, physical con
dition and discipline all contribute to
a persons disposition. You have certainly observed that the habits of one family differ greatly
from the habits of another. One
woman must have a saw -knife for
cutting bread, and she thinks she
could not live without it because her mother and her grandmother used the same. Another woman cuts her bread
equally well with a good carving
knife. There are also habits relating
to disposition. In one family great af
fection is shown, the good-night kiss
is never forgotten, while in another
family all show of affection is considered weak and silly.
It is evident that a family with
enough money to live comfortably and in a good locality has more chance to
be happy and of good disposition than
the family in the poor districts of the
city where it is bitter cold in winter, unbearably hot in summer and all
members or tne tamily are over
worked.
The physical condition is of great importance. The victim of shattered
nerves, nagging pain of constant fa tigue finds it almost impossible to exert enough will power to he of sweet disposition. VeVy often the nature of a child or grown person is
