for my views about the drama,

clining and IL may not. do not work

the art Of producing something with
which to please the public sufficiently
to attract IL in paying quantities. The
public has directed the drama, as
well az nearly everything else so far.

The British had won the battle
OF Blandensburg. and the troops
were marching on the city OF Wash
ington. IL was the war Of 1912.
Dolly Madison. the beautiful wife
of President Madison, stood alone In
the blue room OF the White House
undecided what to do.
Her meditations were interrupted
by the clatter of horses hoofs on
the pavement outside, the sound
growing louder and louder as the
horse galloped down the avenue.
whoa!
Dolly Madison rushed to the
window to see q courier dismoant
and run up the steps of the execu-
tive mansion. He bore dispatches
for Mrs. Madison and was imme-
diately admitted.
Mrs. Madison took the message
and read eagerly: "The British
have won at Rlandensburg and are
marching on Washington" She was
advised to ny Immediately from the
city. The message was signed by
her husband.
There was not a second to be lost.
Dolly Madison summoned her car
rage and hastily packed few neces-
stiles of dress. Already she could
hear the muffled drums OF the
British on the outskirts Of the city
and the tramp, tramp, tramp OF the
troops.
She went to the state dining room
and packed the plate and such Of the
valuable china as she could.
In the blue room hung a full
length portrait OF Washington. paint

knocked the frame to Pieces and re-
moved the precious canvas
Just then two gentlemen from
New York entered the room, jacob
Baker and r. @. l.. De Peyster. She
turned TO the men.
Take this picture" she said, "and
save IL. IL you cannot keep 1t from
the British, destroy II"
SnatchiEg up the declaration OF
independence, Dolly Madison ran at
last from the room and entered her
carriage with her sister.
Down the avenue came the enemy
with blaying trumpets end rolling
drums. Dolly Madison's carriage

were dashed into run, the carriage
swaying dangerously from side to
side. Reaching the river, they were
safe at last beyond the clutches OF
| the enemy.
Mr.. Baker ran with the portrait,
secreting 1t in farmhouse. The
British came on. firing the govern
ment buildings and leaving chaos In
their wake.
When the war was over and the
American cause had triumphed. the
capital was rebuilt from its ashes
on a grander scale than before. The
portrait of Washington was brought
back to the city and hangs today in

us TO write TO lslkton and see If we
