BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

November rs, 1870.-Most Of the rep
reSentatives Of the Washington Press
Club who went to Richmond day before
yesterday on the steamer Charlotte
Vanderbilt returned here today hlled
with enthusiasm over the way they
were entertained by their brethren Of

~. B. F." Washington correspondent
Of the Ohio State Journal, has sent to
his paper a letter, reproduced in The
Evening Star today, which reads, in
part, as follows:
1.-THE city of which write and the
people among whom have the pleasure
to mingle are the most abused and
least understood Of any city or COM
munity In the entire country. A city
with more natural advantages, with
more picturesque surroundings, would
be hard to fnd, and for q people thor
oughly alive to business, active. ener-
getic and enterprising, Washington Is
second to Aone.
1.-THE streets are fast becoming beau
tifully transformed by a system of park
ing. wood pavementS and sundry other
good and useful improvements.
THE canal, SO long an eyesore and a
nuisance, is being dredged, cleaned and
put in navigable condition, while an
elegant market house is about to be
erected on the site Of certain miserable
sheds (Center Market Square,.
yet with all this the City Of Wash
ington is made the butt for every news
paper scribbler to vent his ridicCle and
meaningless spleen upon"

Joseph r. Funk entertained six
friends at his home Wednesday night
and part Of Thursday morning at
with those things so dear to mems
hearts. The feature of the evening
was the winning Of SO pot by Billy
Blip, who slipped over as pretty flush
as has ever been witnessed by losers.
Jimmy Jeek held an unusual full house
and collected So. During the evening
amusement was caused when two of
the players got into fight because one
had failed to sweeten the kitty"
"One-eyed Jacks" were wild through
out the evening. When the party
the boys declared that they had never
had such an enjoyable time, especially
Dick Blop, who collected $45.65.

The amateur play produced last night
by the Giddy Players proved to be an
awful frost. Whoever told Raymond
Rank that he was a romantic actor
should be exposed as the worlds worst
chooSer of champions. Raymond him
self should abandon any idea he may
entertain of following the stage. The
leading woman, Gertie Clip, was en-
tirely too stout for the part she essayed
and she enunciated like one whose
mouth was full of hot potatoes. In fact
the entire cast was pitiful example Of
what should not be done on the stage.

winner, who expected something trifie
more valuable than the cheap bridge

wasn't so bad save for the burnt bis

explained that she had new maid, but
even an old maid couldn't make bis

During the following two years Nina
Graham had several love affairs, or
what the townsfolk looked upon as such.
None of the young men involved in
these affairs resembled, even remotely,
in appearance or personal character
istics, Raymo Fleen. They were for the
most part what are known as regular
fellows, who believe we were put into
this life to have a good time, and acted
accordingly. They were lively company,
and many girls appear to have pref
erence for their sort, but Nina Graham,
for some reason. did not yield to their
Establishments. Even handsome young
man, who was the heir to million dol
lars, did not throw her from her poise.
A very pretty girl, Nina, and girl OF
much charm. A distinct leader in the
younger set, as was her mother in the
older element of local society.
Raymo Fleen plodded on his way, still
awkward, still somewhat of butt for
the more brilliant ones. He assumed
half interest in the jewelry store where
he worked. He enjoyed the work, hav-
ing a passion for precious stones. He
attended church and Sunday school
regularly, and there were folks who
thought this indicated he was queer.
He had not much fun in him, these
folks said. AS a matter of fact, he had
a keen liking for fun, only his idea of
fun did not coincide with the idea of
the period. He saw nothing at which
to laugh in the things at which the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-06-14

others laughed. and thus acquired a
rel utation for taking life too seriously.
He had an odd preference, too. for polk
ing on by himself through the woods
and along the river, when he might
have been taking Joy rides
One Sunday afternoon in the third
Summer after he had proposed to Nina
Graham he was sitting on rock in a
secluded place by the riverside. He was
examining something with much evident
zeal through his magnifying glass. He
heard his name called from the road,
which at that point ran along shelf
of the bluff perhaps so feet above the
river. He turned his head and was
astonished to see Nina Graham stand
ing there.
zone of my wheels has come off," she
called. "Will you help me?"
He put the glass hastily into his
pocket and clambered up the bank.
Nina was seemingly in a small rage.
She swept shaking hand at the trim
roadster.
"A wheel came off," she repeated.
''Those machinists!" might have been
killed"
YES" he agreed gravely, you might
have been killed"
He went back in the road and picked
up the wheel.
Funny" he began, then caught
his words: mo, it isn't funny. Where
is the hub cap?"
"It cannot be far away"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-06-14

He pondered for moment. "You
must have been driving slowly, else that
wheel would have run a mile"
ct was driving slowly. This Is not a
good road for speeding"
AS was stated previously, Raymo had
his depths. He now took a step for
ward, hesitated, then went to the au-
tomobile, lifted the cushion from the
seat and took from the tool box under
meath the missing hub cab, jack and
a wrench.
The girl watched him amusedly.
How did you guess?" she asked.
Your eyes fiickered in that direction
two or three times" he replied. Also
your hands have grease spots on them.
You should have worn gloves"
You're smart" she said
He said nothing. Leisurely, with the
assistance of the Jack and the wrench,
he put the wheel in its place.
This accomplished, he turned to the
girl, his eyes alight.
"I've been looking for pearls this aft
ernoon," he said. Found one, beauty,
Just before you came" He took from
his pocket the pearl and the glass.
Look at it"
She uttered a little cry of delight
"You found it in a clam shel?" she
asked.
He nodded "Clam shells are not
much to look at on the outside" he said
graphically. nina, did-did you come
out this way because you knew I was

"Yes." she replied, and hung her
head.

THE EVENING STORY

It seems, however. that he had his
depths. This may be suspected from
the fact that on the evening of his
twenty-second birthday he called on
Nina Graham, only daughter of Blue
waters wealthiest man and of the
towns leading woman.
Nina" he said on that occasion, af-
ter the weather and one or two other
conversational topics had been disposed
of, we've known each other ever since
We were babies. Will you marry me?"
OF course it was joke, and, of course.
Nina Graham laughed in his homely
face. She simply couldn't help 1t. After
a minute or two he also laughed, some
what ruefullS.
WELL" he said, drawing a long
breath, "I wanted to ask you. didn't
think you'd do it, I've got good job
and fair prospects. Father left us a
farm, all in the clear. Mother and the
girls are provided for. My share in the
estate amounts to nearly $4,000. I've
loved you, Nina, for years. You have
known it. and I won't poster you again.
I don't like to make fool of myself
very well. I think I understand why
you are - are not interested in me.
Good-by."

lead us to believe. There are
times when true love more resembles
something else. Also. of course. there
are times when something else Is very
good counterfeit of true love.
Rayno Fleen was no Adonis in APP
pearance. Nor was he anything else OF
an outstanding nature in the village OF
Eluewater He was just hard-work-
ing youngster who had no gift for
repartee. He was good to his mother,
who was a widow. His two younger
sisters worshiped him. 1t is probable
that you know dozen like him. Hon
est and unassuming and good natured.
Considered supplemented by certain of
his schoolmateS, who considered them
selves brilliant. They were somewhat in
error, perhaps, on both counts. Raymo
was bit bashful. He was not con-
sidered interesting socially. Had way
of strolling in the woods and along the
river, accompanied by only magnify
ing glass and a camera.
