on their mother’s desk. Being large
had well-developed for her 18
years, ths girl was more than a
match for the slim 16-year-old
youth who was holding out against
he..
“Help, Ruth!** Cecil yelled, bit
ing at his sister's exposed arm
Letty said, "If she comes near,
1*11 slap both your facee. and I
mean it. Glee me the dollar, pig!
Tou got the last one we found.
Ton know how I need stockings!"
With a final twist she pried open
her brother’s hand, snatched the
damp, crumpled bill and fled with
It to her bedroom.
Cecil lay groaning and rubbing
his chest, where his sister’s knee
bad pressed. Ruth said. "If you
wouldn’t smoke so many cigarets,
Cecil, you might beat her now and
then.” She had no admiration and
▼ery little liking for tLis high
school junior who took his mother’s
hard-earned money as his just due
and pampered himself extrara
«antly.
Letty came back into the room
with her hair smoothed and her
face carefully made up. She had
a round, pretty face with wide,
sky-blue eyes, fringed with dark
lashes, and light brown hair.
Once when Cousin Bessie. Letty’s
mother, was bemoaning the fact
that the girl could not go to col*
lege. Ruth bad said to her, ”1 don’t
think Letty would like college,
Cousin Bessie. She’s not a book
worm like you at all. I think Letty
ought to marry young” It was
true. She was a voluptuous rose
bud that bad formed early and
needed to blossom early. Marriage
would be the perfect blossoming.
r ETTY sat down and crossed her
pretty legs. "Any luck in town
today, Ruthr
Ruth answered. "No. Letty,” and
wished that she might never hear
that Quest ion again. "Can I help
yon with dinner r
"It’s almost ready " Letty re
plied, brightening. She genuinely
loved to plan and cook a meal. "On
account of Its being Mother’s birth

ruffled organdie apron.
Ruth followed her. “What can
I do, Letty?” she asked earnestly,
warning to help. “Or had you
rather I stayed out of your way
now and washed the dishes after
ward?
"Yea.'' answered Bettjr, "that
would be better.” She got out four
salad plates and .then thoughtfully
went and got another. ‘Til ask
Jack to stay," she said. "He’s fun."
She turned her back and began to
hum.
Ruth went to the coat closet and
hung up her bat and coat. She
thought, "Letty doesn't want me
around. She dislikes me more all
the time." It was a problem that
Ruth bad tried \ thousand times
to solve. She was dependent on
the Lawrences until she could
establish herself. She knew that
she crowded them. Even before
she came it must have been hard
for the three of them to move
about the five small rooms, filled
as they were with Bessie Law
rence's antique furniture and brass
candlesticks and samovars and In
dia prints.
After Ruth's arrival they let her
sleep on the davbed in the living
room, and keep her clothes in one
side of the coat closet. Ruth was
deeply grateful and felt herseir
fortunate. (An orphan who has
lived in the crowded homes of dis
tant relatives does not grow up ex
peeling a great deal of life.) She
only wished that Letty did not feel
this antipathy toward her.
• • •
rpiIE doorbell rang and Ruth
1 went, absent-mindedly, to an
swer It. The house was a duplex
and the Lawrences lived on the
first floor. When Ruth opened the
door she saw a young man stand
ing on the porch. It was Jack
Wilier.
"Hello?" ahe said politely. “Come
In. Jack. Cecil’s expecting you.” i
She showed him where to put bis
hat and took him into the living
room. She sat down on the little
Victorian settee and began to make
polite conversation, while be strode 1
I around the room, picking up things
and laying them down in the rest
less way common to young men.
He was 22 or 23 years old and was
handsome in a curly-haired, movie
hero way.
Ruth noticed that Jack Wilier
was looking at her queerly. He
said, in an accusing voice. “I’ve
been talking to you for five min
utes and you haven’t even been lis
tening."
I Ruth replied in confusion. "The
j idea. Jack! I always listen to you.
I simply hang on your words!" In
her remorse for his injured feel
l Ings she made her voice more
warm and cordial than she in
tended.
In an instant be was on the little
sofa beside her, his arm around
her shoulders and his sparkling
eyes looking into her surprised
ones. “Why have you always
avoided me. Ruth?” he asked. “Why
aren't you always nice to me like
this?"
Ruth jumped to her feet, not
knowing what to do or say. She
‘felt positively relieved to sec
Letty standing in the door. That
is, until Letty said coldly, "Am I
! Interrupting something?"
“No." replied Ruth in embarrass
ment "Oh. no. I’ll go and call
Cecil." As she passed Letty their
eyes met and the hatred in those
sky-blue eyes gave Ruth the an
swer to the question she had been
asking herself for weeks. Letty
was in love with Jack Wilier and
regarded Ruth as her rival.
Ruth wished bitterly that there
were some spot in the house where
she might go and be alone, some
little sanctuary where she might
go now with her problems and her
mistakes, and try to think them
onL Well, there was the street—
She went to the coat closet and
got her hat and coat and put them
on. She slipped, out of the kitchen
door.
• • •
OUTH did not knew how far she
had walked, or how long. She *
found herself on the fringe of a'
busy business section. She saw a
great bus chugging before a sta
tion. Across its sides, in neat
painted letters, were the words,
'CLEVELAND, BUFFALO. ROCH
ESTER, SYRACUSE. SCRAN
TON—" The lights were lighted
and a few people were filing in,
but the driver was not In sight.
"It won't be going for a while,"
Ruth said aloud toTio one in par
ticular.
Next door there was a pawn shop.
She saw that. too. There were
three gilded balls hanging above
the door. She went through that
door.
The man who came to serve her
was elderly. He ^ore a skull cap
and had a white beard and infi
nitely kind eyes. He reminded her
of Moses. She said to him, "I have
a little pin here that I would like
to sell. It belonged to my mother,
and to my grandmother before that
I think it even belonged to my
grandmother’s mother.” She un
pinned It from her collar and
showed It to him. "What will you
give me for it?” she asked.
The old man took the pin In hie
slender, sensitive bands. He said,
“Yon must need money badly to
part with this thing of your peo
ple."
“I do need money baai," Ruth
answered. "I need to catch the bos
out there that’s about to leave.”
The old man raised his eyes from
the pin and looked at her. Then
he said. "I am a sentimental man.
I do not need any more money
than I have. I can do what I like
to do." He seemed to be explain
ing these things to himself, rather
than to the waiting girl. "I will
give you 920 for the little pin.
and I will put it away until yon
come again to get R. It pleases me
to do this."
"Yon are good." Ruth said, as
he counted out the bills. "I think
God sent me here."
The old man shook his head in
negation. “We ean never be sure
of those things." he said.
