(The Now York Evening World.) T NCE upon a time there was & woman, She was an attractive person and had many admirers, yet none of them had touched her heart. Everybody expected her to make a B00d match because of her popularity, but it iooked as though she was never going to choose one “for better or for worse,” Now, it came to pass that there came one “different” from the rest. That Is to say, he had travelled much in foreign countries, had braved many storms, He was very handsome and somewhat of a hero. It was almost love at first sight with this girl He represented something to her that was not like the others He went about with the girl, but marriage was not in his mind. In fact, away off there in the South Seas a beautiful creature was waiting—walting for him to return to lead her to the altar, But the girl had set her heart og him. None other seemed so wonder- ful to her, She wanted him for her very own, One day he told her how he valued her friendship and also— about the other girl. Somehow or other this only made her love him more because it seemed impossible to get him. So she kept on seeing him because she could not bear to be away from him, She dared not think of the day he would be gone, She hoped against hope for something to happen, she knew not what. Nothing happened, The day came when he told her he had to returp to the far off land from which he had come, Her heart al- most died within her. She had to suite her sobs, because she knew her love was not returned, The man went off with the usually friendly goodby to return to the girl | he had left behind, Now thia young woman, instead of looking the situation squarely in the face, lost her good sense and judgment and gave way to her feel- ings. Life did not seem worth living, Give no reins to your inflamed pi ve Unrequited Love. The only thing in the world she wanted was gone. She could never fill his place, she thought, so she mourned and mourned and nothing could console her. Her parents were distracted.
