That is, he went to a school of design and became a typical student. As us- ual, he had am- bition, His par- ticular aim was to be a great portrait painter, For his teachers had always said he could get such good “likeness.” This boy had some talent along these lines. He was a good stu- ,| dent and got on fairly well, He went to @ finishing school and was also successful in his studies. By and by he came to the big city to open upa studio to “paint portraits.” He thought all he had to do was to ANNOUNCE the fact that he was there to do the work and the work would come to him to do. Now, this boy cime‘of humble par- ents, And he had very little money when he came to the city, but enough to last, as he thought, until he got “started.” He sat in his studio walt- ing for the sitters to sit for him, But he sat alone. Finally he thought he ought to get acquainted a bit in order to become known, So he joined a little Art club, There he met other workers like himself; and they talked of various things— pertaining to art, of course. There were illustrat Jesigners, and portrait painte He got acquainted with t once he confided in one of them his desire to do something “big” in his chosen work. All he wanted was a “start.” Not long after this the fel- low worker came to him in great glee saying: “I have something for you.

Yet twe years later he was courting another girl, Mary Owens. Miss Owens rejected hhn, writing later, as her reason: “Mr, Lincoln seemed to me deficient fh those little links which make up the chain of a woman's happiness.” After another two years ue met Mary Todd. Miss Todd was a pretty, \ivactous Kentucky girl, of good family and with a spitiire temper. She came to live with her sister in Springfield, I1l., where Lincoln was prac- tising Iaw. She had many suitors, among them Stephen A. Dow (who later was Lincoln's bitterest political foe), and James Shields, who after+ ward became a United States Senator and a civil war general. Miss Todd tried to be funny, in print, at Shields’s expense. Shields hotly resented this, Lincoln, to protect Miss Todd, took on himself the blame. Shields challenged him to mortal combat. Lincoln accepted the challenge, and chore cavalry sabres as weapons. Arrived at the duelling ground he amused himself by lopping off tree limbs with his sabre.

They did not fix on a date for the wedding until the very day it occurrrd. And again Lincoln's heart misgave him: but this time his friends gave ‘him no chance to escape, even had he wished to do so. As he started the house where the marriage was to take place street boy chanced to [meet him. Seeing that the bridgroom was clad in Sunday clothes on @ | week day, the boy asked. “Where are you guing, Mr. Lincoln, all dressed up like that?” “To hell, I'm afraid!” groaned Lincoln, as he passed on to the wedding. A witness to the ceremony wrote that Lincoln “stood before the clergy- man as pale and trembling as if being driven to slaughter.” ‘The young couple were wretchedly poor, They went to live at a local tavern, where the board for both was $4 a week.
