N, U., ATLANTA, NO. 35--1920. An Unsuccessful Bachelor - Ey CLARISSA MACKIE <©,1*20, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) When Roger King returned to New ton, Conn., after roughing it for two years on a sheep ranch in Colorado, he found himself the victim of a con dition and a theory. The condition, that of a quite satisfactory bachelor-, hood, was his. The theory, that until attractive and eligible bachelors were converted into model and happy hus bands there was no place for them in the world, was Newton’s. Poor Roger! At the club, at the din ner table, even when he sought refuge in the blue, blue waters of Long Island sound, inexorable fate was always be side him in the form of some well meaning young newlywed, saying: “Jove, man! You don’t know what you are missing. Just look at us!” And always the echo would follow, “But just wait until Peggy Jerome comes home from Honolulu!” To say that Roger King became rest ive after a week of this is putting it mildly. After two weeks he began to show signs of positive ill humor. And wjien, on the first day of the third week, he stopped in at the Tom Sted- man?’ for a friendly chat and Mrs. Tom pulled out a letter with a Hono lulu postmark, saying, “I just must read you this letter from Peggy to show you how awfully bright she is,” he must be excused for saying under his breath, “D n Peggy!” That’s what Newton did to Roger King, by nature a most polite and well- mannered young man. “You tell me again what a bright, beautiful, bound - to - make - any - man- happy sort of girl Peggy Jerome is, and I’ll be off for Colorado so fast that you can’t see me for the dust. Is it a crime for a man to be single?” he raged when they protested. "Yes!" answered Newton with one accord. “Well, I won’t be reformed by Hono lulu Peg, anyway,” he retorted rudely. It was the night of the Jennings dance. Roger was looking forward to a splendid time. He adored dancing, and as lie tied his tie with great care In front of the looking glass he hummed “Dardaneila” gaylyt He climbed into his car and started off, at perfect peace with the world, declar ing that since he had stopped his friends’ attempts at playing Cupid by one “d n" and two rude remarks, Newton was the best town this side of heaven and he'd fight any man who said otherwise. Mrs. Jennings met him, beaming. “I’m so glad you’ve come at last, Roger," she said sweetly. “I’ve been telling someone all about you, and I want you to meet her right away.” “If she can only dance, I’m her de voted slave for life,” swore Roger; “I don’t care whether she can talk or not.” “Dance! Talk!” exclaimed Mrs. Jennings rapturously; “why, young man, she is the most wonderful dancer, the brightest conversationalist, the—” “Lead me to her!” cried Roger, in terrupting. “What’s her name?” “Peggy Jerome!” announced his hostess. “She’s the prettiest—” But Roger’s back had disappeared out of sight down the hall before she had time to finish. “Plague take it!” he cried as he made for the door that led into the safety of the garden. He sank onto a stone bench and gazed fiercely at the moon, which smiled back at him be nignly, quite untouched by his ill hu mor. Here he was, enjoying life and thinking Newton an earthly paradise— when this Peggy creature had to loom onto the horizon again and spoil it all. “Drat it all!” he raged; “they haven’t even mentioned her for six weeks!” A tempestuous, furious rush which ended in the sudden occupation of the other end of his bench made Roger jump up in surprise. “Oh, 1 beg your pardon,” said a mu sical voice, which somehow reminded Roger of springtime in the woods when the call of the birds mingles with merry noise of overflowing brook. “I came out in such a hurry I did not notice anyone was here." “You see,” she continued, after a pause, leaning a little toward him, “there is a man in there that I would rather die than meet. I hate him!” “Good!” exclaimed Roger, full of his grievance, "I rather think we’re kin dred souls. There’s a girl inside that I just won’t meet, even if it means that I’ve got to go to Colorado to escape her." "What’s the matter with her?” asked the girl. "I’ll wager that for sheer un pleasantness she’s not a patch on my Juan," "She’s awful!” groaned Roger, the tortures of his first few weeks in New’- ton sweeping over him, “Point by point, I know she can outdo your friend any day.” “Well, let’s match them up, then, point by point,” laughed the girl. “You start!" “To begin with, she’s ‘very bright.’ I do hate very bright people,” began Roger. “My man is very eligible 1 If there’s one crime worse than being bright it is being eligible," retorted the girl. “She is bound t o make any man happy,” exclaimed Roger In disgust. “He is so handsome and strong. Ugh l” cried his companion. “She plays beautifully on the uku- 'ele>” continued Reger. "What!” (kmnnded the girl ab ruptly. “Been In Honolulu, you know, and—” “Who are you?” she interrupted. “Excuse me, I should have intro duced myself,” Roger said. My name is Roger King—why, what on earth is the matter?” The girl was looking at him in horri fied amazement. “I thought you were in there,” she gasped, jumping to hei feet, poised for flight. “Stop!” commanded Roger; “do you mean that you were running away from me—that I Am the unpleasant creature who is so eligible and hand some and strong!” “Yes,” faltered the girl. “You see, they kept writing me about you. Every letter I received was full of your do ings and sayings, and I became rathei fed up, I’m afraid. In fact, I wrote them about two months ago that if they couldn’t write to me without haul ing you in they need not expect any answer from me. I didn’t mean to tell you this so brazenly—but you see, they did ram you down my throat so!” “Good Lord!” ejaculated Roger, “you’re Peggy Jerome!” “Yes," breathed the girl. From the house came the strains ot a waltz, faint and sweet. The moon was bathing the garden with a magic enchantment. Roger King and Peggy Jerome faced each other, a rather shy light in her eyes, a very determined one in his. “I’m afraid you win in that point by point game we were playing a minute ago,” she said finally. “I do not win,” replied Roger with decision. “She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and after I have persuaded her that I am neither very eligible nor at all handsome, I am go ing to—” Peggy interrupted him quickly, "Let’s go and dance," she said. Newton won, hands down. CITY EXPECTS GREAT FUTURE Murmansk, Not Long Founded, May Bd in Future the Greatest Naval Port of Russia. Quite new on the map is the little city of Murmansk, founded after the beginning of the war, and now, in the general taking account of stock, the world over, subject to. examination as probably the greatest naval port of Russia, when that nation becomes nor mal and the capital of a vast district containing about 60,000 or 70,000 in habitants, a considerabie number of whom are refugees who are likely to return to other parts of Russia. Mean time it is difficult to imagine another city like Murmansk, with its popula tion of perhaps 10,000, its sunless win ter, and its long summer days when the sun is on visible duty through the whole 24 hours. -Situated north of the arctic circle, its iinportance as n naval station comes from a harbor where the Ice never freezes solidly enough to prevent navigation, hastily connected with Petrograd by rail as a means of bringing war supplies and ammunition into the country. But although there have been said to be valuable deposits of gold, platinum, silver and other minerals in the dis trict, no investigation has yet dis covered them; nor do the investiga tors see any t very promising sign of agricultural or commercial develop ment, Lapps and Finns are the nor mal Inhabitants of the region; the reindeer herds serve to provide most of their wants, and they barter furs with the occasional traders whose vessels bring the few things they need from the outside world. Among the cities of the world, however, Mur mansk is an infant, and one naturally hopes it will grow up to be a good and successful city. What Became of the Bison. George Catlin, an authority on In dian life in the middle of the last century, stated that in the 1830’s from 150,000 to 200,000 buffalo robes were marketed annually, which meant a slaughter of 2,000,000 or 3,000,000 bison annually. The death-knell of the bison, was sounded when the Union Pacific rnil- road was under construction. The road made marketing of the robes eas ier and divided the northern and southern herds. By 1875 the southern herd, consist ing of at least 3,000,000 animals, had been exterminated. By 18S9 the northern herd, too, was practically extinct, its actual numbers being placed by Doctor ITornady at 635 an imals. Dr. C. Gordon Hewitt of the Amer ican museum, calls this “the most striking and appalling example of the fate of an animal existing in appar ently inexhaustible numbers, when left exposed to unrestricted slaugh ter.”—Exchange. Tall Trees of America. Where on the globe can there be found an area equal in extent with that occupied by the bulk of our states, so fertile and so rich and varied in its productions, and at the same time so habitable by the Euro pean, as this is? Michaeux, who knew but part of them, says that “the species of large trees are much more numerous in North America than in Europe; in the United States there are more than 140 species that exceed 30 feet in height; in France there are but 30 that attain this size.” - Later botanists more than confirm his obser vations. Humboldt came to America to realize his youthful dreams of a tropical vegetation, and he beheld il in its greatest perfection in the primi tive forests of the Amazon, the most gigantic wilderness on the earth, which he lias so eloquently described.— Henry David Thoreau.
