STATtT THIS STOKY TODAY
"W0l'r'D -Ttm mln(1 tcl,,,,K mc how
' .Tnn nml Scott can take enre of
him?" I'oclc David's rrinnrk wni dry.
"We'll mnnnRp," Ttuth snld pnssion
ntclj. She was ready for open rebellion
now.
"Whnt do j-oti think nhout It, Scott?"
nkod I'ncle David. Tor n moment the
two men looked nt ench other, the old
nml the jounB, the sucecufnl nnd the
fctriiEgler, the one fnco shrewd nnd busi
nesslike the other keen nnd eager nnd
Mill full of ('.renins.
"I think you're right about taking
Hobby where he enn have advantages,"
Scott said slowly. Itutli knew he wns
right, she knew it was the only thing
to say, but for the moment she almost
hated Scott for saying it.
"That's sensible," approved Uncle
David, "and now as long ns Bobby is
to be brought up by us, I think It Is
just as well for your mint nnd I to
decide what is best for him."
Ktlth cried herself to sleep that night,
but Bobby came to the funeral. He Bnt
close to Martha, nnd did not scorn to
hold her hand nil through the service.
Ruth hated it nil. She hated her
mother's friends coming up to tell her
how beautiful her mother looked, nnd
how natural. She hated the nir of
patronizing authority that Aunt Wini
fred took, she huted the feeling of hav
ing nothing to say nhout anything, she
even felt estranged from Seott.
Then it wns all over, nnd a silent,
wide-eyed Bobby wandered about the
houso for the next few days. Ruth
ached for his tomboy roughness, his
teasing, the touch of his dirty bunds.
It broke her heart to see him this way ;
it broke her heart that she had to
see him go out of her life, for it was
virtually that. She knew that the
times she would bee Bobby -would be
few and far between after ho becamo a
part of her uncle's establishment.
The furniture was disposed of sum
marily. Aunt Winifred said virtually,
"Wo had better have it stored for the
time being. You won't have room for
it in jour apartment, Ruth." And
Ruth, inwardly writhing, bad to ac
quiesce. Bobby had become interested in the
tlip by the time ho was ready to leave,
and Aunt Winifred bore hitn off in tri
umph. , "ioti nud Scott must come and spend
jour vacation with us whenever you
cnn." she said graciously when she
bade them good-by. But Rutb, with
her aims tight nbout Bobby, hardly
heard her. Bobby was sobbing bard,
mid it was with the sound of his crying
in her ears and a look of stern disap
pi o nl on Aunt Winifred's fuce that
Ruth saw 'the last of them.
The little apartment looked strange
to Ruth when sbo and Scott at last
went home. It seemed as though they
liutl been nway for many moous, so
mil lj hud happened. Alice was still
there. She wns very sweet to Ruth
nnd said very littlo to her. The first
night homo long nfter Seott had fallen
asleep Ruth lay awake crying softly.
Mho did not know why she felt so ut
terly lonely, but she did. It wasn't
ko miiqli that the grieved for her
mother, although she would miss her
horribl, but it was everything com
bined that went to cause change. More
than auy thing in tho world, Ruth de
tested change.
The next morning at breakfast Ruth
had recovered to the extent of not be
ing entirely absorbed in her owu uu
liappiuess. She could not help noticing
that Alice looked very bad nnd ate
almost nothing. Instantly her thoughts
leaped to Bert. Could Alice have heard
anythihg more about him? How would
that affair end, anyway?
It whs a icry silent trio thnt ate
breakfast. Scott did not read because
the paper hadn't come. Outside the air
was raw and smelled of ram, it blew
the curtains in and filled the room with
a chilly feeling.
The minute Scott had left for the
office Ruth turned to Alice inquiringly.
"Something has happened?"
"No, that's just it, nothing has hap
pened," said Alice, turning to Ruth
suddenly. "I've beeu expecting and
hoping he would write. 1 couldn't be
lieve he would just let me go like this.
O, Ruth, what shall 1 do?" And Alice,
practical Alice, wrung her haud3 to
gether like n nervous, hysterical woman.
"Haven't you heard n word?"
"Not a word siuco I came nway."
r -"Perhaps you'll have a letter this
morning."
Alice shook her head. "I've given
up hope now, but it's my owu fault,
Ruth, whatever comes of this."
"Why .don't jou put your pride in
your pocket and write to him? You
came away, jou know, it's really up to
you. Wuit n minute, there's the mail
now, I'll get it, there may be some
.thing' for you."
"But tligre was nothing for Alice in
the mail, only a letter for Scott, with
iht- name of the apartment owner up
in the corner.
In the next installment, another turn
cf the wheel of misfortune.
