Alas, No More Sj:
g ;
- ®
By RUBY DOUGLAS
(• Sr McClurj Newspaper Sjndlett*.)
IT HAPPENED that after receiving
J an Invitation to be beet man for his
last bachelor friend, Clark Darlington
came upon a relic of his college days
In the form of an old photograph
frame.
He sat before the fireplace In his
comfortable room and held the old
frame before him so that the light
from the fire shone on the faded pho-
tographs of six girls. It bad once
been the fashion for college boys to
frame theirs various loves thus: "My
witty girl, my pretty girl, the girl that
I adore; my winter girl, my summer
girl, my girl alas—no more."
He studied each face, successively.
"Yes; Jane was my witty girl. She
always bad a merry quip to greet you
with or a joke or a story,” he solilo-
quised.
The next face was beautifully carved
out as a cameo. "And Bertha was the
prettiest girl I knew. No doubt of her
rignt to that title In the frame. And
perhaps 1 did adore Clara.” He had
passed to studying the third face.
"Bahs was a peach of a winter girl.
Beth was a light and frilly summer
girl and—”
He had reached the last face in the
frame—"my girl alas—no more.” A
shadow bad crossed his eyes. This,
then, was the girl. Constance Hoyt
was, alas, his girl no more, and yet be
had never found one to take her place.
The cause of their quarrel had been
trivial enough—her annoyance at his
behavior at his senior dance. And he
had defied her right to criticize him
and had gone on tossing wild oats
here and there until the girl would
have nothing to do with him.
He bad not beard of her for years.
Probably she was married; possibly
she was gone.
When be retired that night he had
not put the picture frame back in the
drawer with the relics of his past. He
had slipped It along the mantleplece
so that the photograph of his girl,
"alas—no more,” was In the center
where he could see her face at all
times.
For the next few days he was busy
attending to last-minute duties of a
well-informed best man. Therefore,
he had had little time to think of the
former love whose face had recalled
such tender memories of a lost ro-
mance.
It happened that' the name of the
little girl who was to carry the ring
up the aisle on a satin pillow was
Constance. 8he was a pretty tot and
Clark quite fell In love with her at the
rehearsal of the ceremony the night
before the wedding.
"Isn’t she a doll?” asked the bride
to-be.
“She’s all of that. Where did you
pluck her?”
"Oh—she’s the daughter of one of
ray old school friends. She’s married
since and—this Is her wee daughter.
Don’t forget anything. Clark. Tom is
so flighty these last few days.”
The best man was the least nervous
of the whole wedding party when the
organist began to play the wedding

march that should usher them Into the
diureh.
All eyes were on the lovely little
girl who carried the ring. She stepped
gracefully along the aisle to the strains
of Lohengrlp’s march. Clark watched
her. t
As the child passed one of the low-
er pews he saw her turn her little
face up and smile. Clark looked at the
face of the woman whom she had
greeted and there, almost obscured
from his vision by a duster of Ameri-
can Beauty rosea, was Constance—his
girl—alas, no morel
From that moment on he had no In-
terest In Tom and hla wedding. Here
—entirely out of his reach and more
beautiful than ever he had fancied her
—was the only girl he had ever loved.
After the ceremony things moved
so quickly that' he lost sight of Con-
stance. But he realized that she
would be Rt the breakfast and that no
doubt lie should have an opportunity
to Rpeak with her. He wondered
whether be dared to trust himself.
Almost before he had decided, lie
found himself beside her with her lit-
tle girl.
"Clark— Clark Darlington,” she was
saying, "I—1 thought It must be you.”
"I had seen your little daughter,”
Clark said, awkwardly. “And—1 have
nn old photograph of yoq In my room.
Strangely enough. I was looking at It
not a week ago.”
“I’m sure It’s lovely,” laughed Con-
stance.
"Your—husband? la he here?”
asked Clark. “You must remember
that I do not even know your name—
now.”
Constance did not answer at once.
Clark waited.
"Poor old Don la ’Somewhere In
France.’ Didn’t you know? He and
l were married only six weeks when
he was called to his regiment.”
“Oh—” Clark Darlington hud never
fell so awkward.
But later he recovered and lost no
lime Id finding out all he could of
Constance. She seemed rfs gl&d to
have found him as he was to have dis-
covered her again.
It was an intensive wooing and
when at last Clark hud promised
little Constance he would be a good
daddy to her. he fell that Tom’s wed-
ding had beeu the happiest day of the
host man’s life.
“My girl—forever more,” was what
lie wrote beneath the old photograph
of Constance who objected to the
"alas—no more.”
Effect of Hot Breed
The public health service says that
as to which Is considered the harder
to digest, hot or cold bread, is a point
upon which scientists disagree. Many
contend that hot breads are injurious,
while others point to the fact that
many persons eat hot bread through-
out their entire lifetime without 111 re-
sults. There are, no doubt, many fac-
tors entering Into the matter—the
health of the individual concerned, the
character of the bread and perhaps the
occupation of the Individual or his ac-
tivities.—Washington Star.
Would Bo Long Session
Murmuring, “I’ll teach ber who’s
boss,” the little man pushed open his
gate and after knocking at the front
door gained admittance to his home.
Almost Immediately sounds of conflict
came from behind the closed door.
Presently the door flew open and the
little man, no longer aggressive, tum-
bled down the front steps, propelled by
an arm which closely resembled a
shoulder of mutton.
Picking himself up, he scowled at
the owner of the hefty arm.
"I’ll teach her who’s boss,” he mur-
mured, “but she’s going to take a lot
of teaching.”—LondonTIt-Blt
Natural Laws
Water always seeks Its own jevel—
and so does man. Life's pull is ever
downward, the same as that of grav-
ity. This Is why It requires strength,
courage, and will power to reach high-
er Ideals. But wise is the man wlio
makes the effort.—Grit.
Algeria
The first Impression of Algerian na-
tives comes when sailors and boat
. men swarm up to the steamer at the
time of landing. They are 9 piratical
and cutthroat-looking gang, decided-
ly picturesque, and anything but
clean. Although descendants of pi-
rates, they are considered awkward
and stupid at managing a boat In
the streets of the towns are many
oriental types—the Moore of mixed
Spanish and Arabian blood have de-
generated physically and mentally
from the bulldera of the Alhambra,
being now mostly beggars and petty
laborers. The Arabs, or Bedouins,
“stolid and squalid” also look like a
conquered race. Most of the shops
are L.pt by Jews, but the Kabeles
form the largest part of the popula
tlon. These men are of a pure
mountain race showing traces of
! Greek and Roman ancestry In their
complexion^, and 4ven th their laws.
