It was work, not gain, that was the
starting motive in his career, and the
labor loved because he aimed at a
high standard. He was a color special
ist, and etchings and pen and ink eff
fects had become the fashion.
A few portraits, perhaps twice
year color scene, but the orders few
and far between, and the cheeks of
the handsome, graceful youth be-
came wan, the old fire of genius left
his eyes. With poverty bringing the
threadbare garb, pride drove him to
seclusion. He became isolated and
forgotten.
If his two former artist associates
had seen him at the hour when amid
luxury and Incidence they discussed
him, they would have probably pitied
this piece of poor driftwood.
In the remotest corner and small
est room of an old, dilapidated central
building, Paul Willis sat working with
pencil and brush.
1t was a sadly forlorn place, the
windows grimed, the floor destitute of
carpet or rug. Light and heat were
wretched. Upon a table beside the
easel was a loaf of Immediately ex-
cellent bread, tempting fruit cake

The artist had drawn with pen and
ink in outline a faithful presentation
of the articles before him. Now he
began the work that had for him an
indescribable attraction, the coloring
of his sketch. More than once fever

MUST LOOK INTO THE FUTURE
Doing That, the Voter VIII Be
Brought to a Comprehension Of
His Full Duty.

We, the people, need to have eyes
OF imagination In order that we may
be good citizens. A voter with suf-
dcient ability to see the rest Of man
kind and the generations yet unborn
will sacrifice his convenience, aud
even much more, to gos to the polls.
The better we come to know man
kind-the actual character and lives
Of people whom perhaps we have
never seen or never willSsee-the
stronger grows our altruism. which is
a normal quality of human nature.
The literatHreof the magazines is
rendering an Invaluable service. 1t
Is forwarding a gradual reconcilia-
ton Of classes and races by its vivid
portrayal of what people really are.
1t Is bringing our conception Of "the
rest of humanity" nearer to the hui
man reality.
The psychology that tells us clear
ly how we are separated by time,
rather than space, from those who
will be affected by our acts, is Inn
portant in the development of civic
Imagination. For every ton Of coal
that we mine, for every beautiful hill
side that we rob of its forests, for
every law put on the statute books
by the Legislators that we elect, for
every vote that is cast at the polls,
we are answerable to future genera
tions.
Without imagination it Is impossible
to comprehend our civic responsible.
