D. {. Interest in Vote
And Representation
Praised by Randolph
Speoks at Meeting
Of BurIeith Citizens
Association

Patriotism and civic interest Is
exhibited by citizens Of the District
IN their plea for suffrage and ma
tional representation were praised
by Representative Jennings RAN
dolph. chairman Of the House Dis
trict Committee. speaking before the
Burleith Citizens Association meet
Ing last night in the Gordon Junior
High School.
The response shown when ap-
proximately 10000 local citizens ia
vored suffrage OF some sort as
against 10000 opposed, in the refer
endum conducted lest April by citi-
zens OF the District. is to me most
amazing" Mr.. Randolph declared.
Sees Hope ON Capitol Hill.
Mr.. Randolph declared that the
destiny of the Capitals citizenry
lies ION Capitol Hill"
The citizens of the Nations Capt.
tai have no mooring," he said, "and
are denied the basic right Of the
privileges and responsibilities OF
participation in the Government of
the United States"
The speaker deplored the failure
OF many citizens in the States pos
sessing the privileges OF voting for
not participating in elections which
were mot right but a respon-
sibility."
Sees Victory Ahead.
The time will come sooner or
later" Mr.. Randolph said, when
those holding the Federal Offices will
realize the necessity of granting to
the citizens Of the District the rights
to which they are entitled"
Mr.. Randolph told the association
that he will sponsor a bill in the
House today requiring all aliens,
whether in this country legally or
illegally, to declare within 1865 days
whether or not they intend to be-
come naturalized citizens and as
sumo the rights and duties of Amer
ican citizens. If not, he declared
they should be deported.
This bill, he said, is an effort to
rid the country Of undesirables who
are attempting to tear down that
which has been built up by the
labors Of Americans in the past"

very beautiful. He talked with her
and finally she agreed to sit for her
portrait.
She came every Saturday after
noon for five weeks. Marcus was
very much pleased with the results,
but he was much more pleased with
Maize He decided he must be in
love with her. If, he thought, he
could sell this new picture, he would
ask her to marry him.
The dealer looked at the canvas.
ut is goot, but not goot enough. I
have not sold your first picture yet" I"
Marcus went home feeling de-
pressed and unhappy. Maize could
never love him now. When he
switched on the light in his room he
found her sitting by the window.
Did you sell the picture?" she
asked.
He shook his head. and then i'm
pulsively he said: Maize, I love you.
Will you marry me?"
She smiled at him. II will if you
will give up painting. You are a
brilliant man. Marcus. You could 60
far in other fields"
Worst Blow.
Marcus could not speak This was
the worst blow of all to his vanity.
He loved her, and she had no faith
in him.
So Maize went away and Marcus
went in search for work so he could
earn enough money to paint again.
Years passed. Marcus sold only a
few of his paintings. The public
would give him no recognition. He
suffered bitter poverty. He met other
women and loved them, but always
they left him alone. He had offers
to do big things in other fields, but
he ignored them all.
At length his health failed. He
was old and thin and wrinkled. But
the light still cleaned in his eyes
Always was with him the belief that
because his heart and soul and mind
went into his work he would one
day become great, receive recogni-
| ton.
He died in wretched poverty, in
the same room on the top floor of
the tenement house. The art dealer
and Henderson, out of pity. bought
the paintings that were in the room
to pay the minor expenses of his
burial.
Five years later an art connoisseur,
visiting the dealer, saw one of Mar
Gus paintings by accident. He bought
it at a ridiculously low figure and
hung it in his galleries. A week later
he sold it for $4,000.
This all happened 80 years ago.
Today. an original by Marcus brings
$50 900 on the open market. Such is
the way Of art.

It, 50 these attempts at developing
his natural talent were poor indeed.
More than year passed before
Marcus had the courage to show
one of his pictures to Henderson,
his friend. Henderson shook his
head.
TT has no commercial value" he
said.
But does it show promise?" Mar
Gus asked anXiously.
Henderson nodded slowly. cit
shows promise" he admitted.
Elated, Marcus took his painting
and went home. His mind seethed
with thoughts of the future. His
soul burned with ambition. He set
to work on new painting at once
During the next year two things
happened. Marcus lost his job as
clerk in the shipping house and his
mother died. The second event took
place three months after the first.
Marcus felt sharp pangs of remorse.
He felt that his mothers i'll health
was due in great measure to his
inability to provide for her properly.
II, IN these dark hours. he had not
had his great dream, he would have
been unhappy indeed.
Enough for a Month.
After his mothers funeral Mar
Gus collected his belongings and
moved to room on the top floor
OF a great tenement building. It was
q cheap, smelly place, but the light
was good and he was happy. He
had a few dollars left; by depriving
himself, he figured, he could live a
month and do nothing but paint.
He brought the result of this
months effort to Henderson. Hen
derson looked at it a long time. Then
he called a number on the telephone
and after awhile a man wearing a
derby hat appeared. The man, who
was dealer, looked at the painting,
pursed his lips, teetered onto his toes
and then hack onto his heels. Finally
he shook his head.
"Goot! Goot!" he said. But not
goot enough. Let me know when
you have painted another, my
boy"
The next day Marcus went in
search OF work. He searched for
three days and at length secured a
position washing dishes in a hotel.
which paid him one meal a day and
IS a week. He thought he was lucky
and would have been content, ex-
cept that he had to work late at
night and was unable to paint when
he got home. u :.-
He was cheerful, however, and
happy. Soon he would have enough
money saved so that he could devote
all Of his time to painting.

But Fabienne was to travel Ov'r
that road long before the daisies
Whitened the fields.
Nicky and Bill said their good
nights to the sleepy girls at the
door Of the apartment.
In the living room, Ellen and Fa-
bienne spraWled in two easy chairs
facing each other, talking of the
day.
1T was grand" Fabienne said,
yaWning 1T reminds me of the

Nicky and l have often gone off on

Ellen could picture the scene:
Fabienne, radiant, dashing in her
riding clothes. going out in the
clear morning, coming back fac

easy, happy, sharing things that
were familiar to both. Shed never

What fun, Fabienne thought, to
know how to do things like that.
I wouldn't have touched a live fish.
Ellen yawned deeply. ~ can't

In her narrow white bed, Ellen
looked into a picture that came to

q gracious dining hall in Mary

There was one small comfort she
thought, and that was that Ellen

find nothing in common and she
wanted her friends to like each

It would not be hard to like

Gertrude had other ideas. She
said, Nonsense, it's only an infat-
uation. You're the only person she
ever really cared for, my dear
Gertrude was too wise in such mat
tiers to embarrass Nicky any fur
Their, so she hurried on to say, If
you could only get her away from
that wretched place where she
lives"
Nicky's expression chilled. He
said, Have you ever seen it,"
mo, but I don't have to. I met
that little Miss what is her
name? Oh, yes, Chapman
She was at the wedding. You re-
member? Would you say that she
was the sort Of person that FAB
is? So common, Nicky."
Nicky got up. I've got to run
along, Gertrude, but l want to say
one thing before l do. It's this
Fab is getting to be the sort OF
person Ellen is. And a good thing!
Ellen is d girl in a million"
For a long time after Nicky left
Gertrude sat calmly, studying her
folded hands, thinking of the dis

said softly. "Fabienne is falling in

When the Comtesse de Ligne
made up her mind to do something,
she seldom lost any time going
about it. At eleven o'clock the next
