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.—
