her feet the only points of interest
which the gtri possessed. She had
s slender, nicely-poised body and a
face that made a passerby want to

of say startling beauty, but be

Ruth sat down on a park bench
and opened the newspaper aha had

to the column that said "Help

now she had been supporting Ruth |i
Woodson as well, at least as tar .
as food and shelter were concerned.
It was this thought that made
Ruth a little desperate when she
had time to think about it, as the
was doing now.
• • • •
TSUTH had been "passed around"
^ since her fourth birthday.
George Woodson, her father, had
gone to his brave death Juftt before
the Armistice. Eleanor Woodson
had eventually followed him. as she
had told him she would do. It took
long months of grieving, assisted
by nervous sxbaustlon and pneu
monia to turn the trick, but in the '
end she had died with a trium
phant smile on her face and a feel
ing ot release in her heart. She
was off to find her lover.
The child. Ruth, and George** In

Woodson, who accepted them as a
sacred trust and a terrible burden
Great-annt Sarah lived several
years to do her doty by Ruth be

another great-aunt whom Rnth af
fectionately recalled as "Aunt Ma

the ehild’s real troubles began. She
was 10 ysars old and. as shs naive
ly expressed It at the tlm* she had
“run oat of aunts." She had also
run out of money, for the two old
ladles between them had Invested

give Ruth the wrong advice at
every turn. Inst ear of arranging
for the girl to borrcw money for a
short and thorough business course
or for some vocational training, she
allowed her to taka temporary Jobs
for which she wse unsuited and
which soon “petered cut." leaving
Ruth discouraged and dismayed.

Ruth got np from the bench te

standing In front at her. It was
an exceedingly well-dressed man.
not old. not young. He was look

him he took off his hat conrtaously.
He sold. "I’m en my way to a
lata lunch at the Casino. I wonder

The casnelness of the attack Im
pressed Ruth more than any
maneuvering on his pert would
have done. She looked at him
with Interest and found him to be
rather handsome and impressive.
He might even be e gentleman. 8b*
thought, "I’m hungry. Why not?
Besides It’s an adventure. Imagine
being asked to the Casino, just ilk*
that!” She’d never been Inside
the doors, at course.
The man said. “Girls who look
like Claudette Colbert expect to be
admired by strangers, naturally."
Ruth again felt a prick of ad
miration for his cleverness. 8h*
knew there was a haunting re
semblance to Colbert's face in her
own. This observing man might
ba entertaining. Certainly ha was
flattering. And then, struggling np
from soma deeper consciousness at
her mind, there came this warning,
like a little hell In aom* far away
temple garden:
"Wrong things begin this way.
Careful, Ruth! You're about to be

She looked at the man ft* i mo
