"Sir-Having been appo q by the gov ernor of Pennsylvania senator to repre- sent Pennsylvania in the congress of the United States until the next meeting of the legislature of that state, and having accepted said appointment to take effect July 1, 1904, I hereby tender my resig- nation as attorney general of the United States to take effect at the end of the thirteth day of the present month.
 T cannot by this act terminate the close and confidential relation I have sustained to you during your entire ad- ministration without adding a word of sincere appreciation of your more than generous and uniform kindness to me. and a like word of unfeigned respect and ad- inration for the lofty purpose and splen- did courage you have ever manifested, which has inspired and sustained your cabinet in their efforts to promote the public welfare by effecting the wise pol icies of your administration.

Roosevelt to Knox.

My Dear MT. Knox--I accept your re- signation not only with keen personal regret, but with a very real feeling of the loss the country thereby sustains. Permit me to add that do not think could have made up my mind to ac- quiese however reluctantly, in your leaving your present position had I not also realized the services you could rem der in the senate.
 There is nothing which can say which will in any way add to the repu- tation which you have won, and no trib- ute I can pay you will approach in value that already paid you by the hearty ad- miration and respect of your fellow citi- zens Yet. for my own information, I wish to bear testimony to the invaluable work that you have done During your whole time of service you nave had no real holiday. You never have really rest ed from your exhausting labor. To your high professional qualities you have add ed unfiagging zeal and an entire indif- ference to every consideration save to the honor and interest of the people at large. Many great and able men have preceded you In the office you hold, but there is none among them whose ad- minstration has left so deep a mark for good upon the country's development. Under you it has been literally true that the mightiest and humblest in the land have alike had brought 1t home to them that each was sure of the laws protec- tion while he did right, and that neither could hope to defy the law if he did wrong In what you have done, you have given proof not merely of the profound learning of the jurist, but of the bold initiative and wide grasp of the states man. You have deeply affected for good the development of our entire political system in its relations to the indus trial and economic tendencies of the time.
 For all you have done, I thank you most earnestly, not only on my behalf. but on behalf of the public, whom you have served with such single-minded de- yotion.
 with all good wishes for your future, believe me- very faithfully yours.

tended into a re-entrant angle, and
rude battlements were erected ut the
four corners of the Enclosure. The
little stream of unfailing water was
led through corner of the fortress.
In the center of the Enclosure they
built the houses; a cabin for Law, one
for the men, and larger one to serve
as store room and as trading place,
should there be opportunity for trade.
1t was in these rude quarters that
Law and his companion established
that which was the nearest approach
to home that either for the time
might claim; and it was thus that
both undertook once more that old anl
bootless human experiment of seekir0
to escape from ones own self. Silent

Mary Connynge; yet often and often
Law caught the question of her gaze.
And often enough, too, he found his
own questioning running back up the
water trails, and down the lakes and
across the wide ocean, in a demand
which. fiercer and fiercer as it grew,
he yet remained too bitter and too
proud to put to the proof by any means
now within his power. Strange

rose steadily day by day, but it gave

about stretched the pale green ocean
OF the grasses, dotted by many wild
flowers, nodding and bowling like bits
of fragile fotsam on the surface of a
continually rolling sea. The little
groves Of timber, scattered here and
there, sheltered from the summer sun
the wild cattle of the plains. The
shorter grasses hid the coveys of the
prairie hens, and on the marsh-grown
bayou banks the wild duck led her
brood. A great land, rich, fruitful
one, was this that lay about these adj
venturers.
