Parish was a stranger in Barbara's town — but his brown eyes laughed so frankly, and he seemed so perfect a gen- tleman, that there was not the faintest breath of suspicion that he was not everything he seemed to be. To be sure, he told Barbara nothing about himself,except that he lived in New York, and had come West on an extended business trip. But Bar- bara’s greater mistake was the unquestioning confidence, trust and love that she permitted to grow upin her heart.

Thus blindly she was led into a most terrible situation. A powerful, thought-compelling true story. . “Mad Love”— Like many another girl who is misled by the false glamour of a “movie” career, Ruth dreamed of the day when she would have the world at her feet. So with beauty and ambition as her sole capital, she set out to conquer fame in the studios. Of course, there could be only one result, and she might have profited by her defeat if she had not fallen madly in love with a popular screen idol.

He was the cleverest, handsomest, most ropular young man on the col- ege campus. The fascination of his smile, his airy grace and charm, were qualities that few gitls could resist.

A truelife chronicle that will tug at your heart strings as only a | story of real life can do, Never before had she been so completely happy. Never had the sun shone so brightly, nor had the birds poured forth such a torrent of joyous song, a$ when she and Nor- man Parish were to- gether—dancing, riding, or idling through the wooded hills on lazy summer afternoons.

In these days of so-called moral liberty, who 1s to i blame if young people fall into error through ignorance of Truth? The only way to drive home the perils of wrong thinking and acting, is to emphasize the inspiring power And then one night, when he came to her in the moon-tlooded garden where she awaited him, her heart near bursting with song, his slow step and the somber, wretched look in his eyes instantly told her that something was wrong. But even then, until the hour of revelation, shg did not dream of the terrible drama that was about to unfold, and in which, in the long, tear-filled days to follow, she was to play so tragic a part. If Barbara could have been warned —if she could have had the slightest inkling of the Furs heartbreaking events that were to grow out of her innocent and confiding devotion to this man of whom she really knew nothing, and who talked so winningly of love — she might have been saved the crushing remorseand bitter sorrow that were to darken her life for many years to come. It is this story of the terrible price she paid for innocently trusting too far andpbeh'eving teo much, that Barbara has written, exactly as it happened, for the November issue of True Story Magazine. The story is complete, starting on of good.
