Miss Sherwood said she was still more or less a stranger, and asked what man we could find who was strong enough to do it by popularity alone and who was also a man we wanted; somebody that had worked a good deal, but had never had any office.

It was to such a man she could promise the 'Herald's' support, as for a time the paper was being operated almost independently, it might be said, of Mr.
Harkless.

Well, I expect it came to all of us at the same time, but it was Mr.Bence here that said it first." Mr.Bence was the gentleman who had walked about saying "A glorious conception," and he now thrust one hand into his breast and extended the other in a wide gesture, and looked as impressive as a very young man with white eyebrows can look.
"The name of Harkless," he said abruptly, "the name of Harkless will sweep the convention like the fire of a Western prairie; the name of Harkless will thunder over their astonished heads and strike a peal of joy bells in every home in the district; it will re-echo in the corridors of posterity and teem with prosperity like a mighty river.
The name of Harkless will reverberate in that convention hall, and they shall sit ashamed." "Harkless!" exclaimed the judge.

"Why didn't some one think of that long ago ?" "Then you approve ?" asked Keating.
"Yes, I think I do!" The Amo man shook hands with him.

"We'll swim out," he exclaimed.
