Progressives 27. There was a deadlock
which was broken by a deal between the
Republicans and Democrats, according to
the terms of which Sherman was chosen
to fill the unexpired term of Lorimer and
James Hamilton Lewis was elected to sue
ceed Shelby M. Cullom for the full term.
Then the nation began to wonder who and
what Sherman was.
His election for a full term by popular
vote last November increased the curiosity
about him, and now that he is brought for
ward as the candidate of Illinois for the
Presidency 1t is important that the curl
osity should be satisfied
In the first place. it should be stated that
he is supposed to look like Lincoln, not the
bearded Lincoln that Cullom is said to
resemble but the Lincoln of the presidential
campaign of 1861 when the nlinoisan had a
smooth face and a tousled head of hair
Shermans face is lined with deep burrows,
his mouth has sourly saturnine express
sion and his hair, parted far down on one
side, billows over his broad forehead as
neglected as that of the small boy whose
mother is away on her vacation.
Mistaken for Tramp
When he first entered the Illinois Legis-
lature as member In 1897 his trousers did
not meet his shoetops, his shirt sleeves were
innocent of cuffs and he had put on a coll
lar out OF respect TO the proprieties OF the
occasion. When he was running for Lieu
tenant Governor few years later he went
to Chicago TO call on the chairman OF the
State Committee, but the doorkeeper of the
party headquarters in the Grand Pacific
Hotel refused TO let him in because he looked
like tramp and would neither tell his name
nor state his business. On another occasion
during the campaign he was waiting for a
train at small railroad junction and maxi
ing lunch of apples from bag that he
held on his lap. He wore his usual high
water trousers and the sleeves Of his dusty
coat were too short for his arms.

1t was Roy Elst0n, TO whom the
would-be lovers had alluded. His face
was, indeed, SCARED on one side. He
was athletic. There was too much
manhood in the clear, open counte-

bruiser.

who seems to be an old acquaintance

against me. Won't you write him as

Then Roy took a photograph from
his pocket, smiled upon it, pressed it
to his lips and mUTmured softly:

and Ned in the estimation of Miss
Warren. In fact, there was a clear

Warren treated Roy with scant cour-
tesy, but Roy hoped to soon remove
this unfounded prejudice.
That evening Roy called at the
Warren home. Its dignified proprietor
bestowed a rather cool nod upon him
as he passed him walking in the gar
den with his daughter. Then, the
lovers once alone, Nellie Indignantly
told her favored sutton some things

some time to come. Both were laid

His somber eyes roamed over the Haunting tulips. the stately roses. and rested on a cluster of tiny white flowers, modestIy hiding under their waxen leaves. Yes, there they were his mothers fiowers-the flowers his young wife had loved.
 "O-o-oh!- sighed a childish voice by him.
 Bowlby, the jailbird, looked down. A little slip of a girl stood there look ing in the window at the elaborate floral display. She was tidy little girl, although her clothing was worn and thin She had solemn eyes and quaintly demure air. One poor. scrawny little finger was pointing at the flowers.
