CHAPTER W..

A week was spent by Martin and his
party at the settlement, during which
he acquired the title to township A,
range 10, which included the little
lake near the hermit's hut, and made
a four-square-mile tract about it.
Chip, thanks to Angie, secured a
simple outfit of apparel and-surpris-
ing fact-evinced excellent taste in its
selection, thereby proving that eight

Canucks were engaged to bring them
in in a bateau, and then the party
started on its return.
Only one incident Of Importance oc-
CURED during the wait at this village
known as Grindstone. Angie and Chip
had just left the only store there, in
front of which a group of log-drivers
Had co~ngregated, when Angie, glanc'
ing back, saw that one of the group
was following them. She quickened
ser pace, and so did he, until just as
they turned into a side street, he
passed them, halted, and turned about

as they drew near,
"Hullo, Chip" he added, as they
passed, when did you strike luck?"
Chip made no response and he NUT
tered again, wal, I'm damned, jes'

It was annoying, especially to Angie
and neither Of the two realized how
sooa this blunt log-driyer's discover,
would reach Tins Place.

never allowed himself the costly habit
Of smoking. He always felt himself a

ly all the states, and the national gov
eminent as well, to enact pure food
laws. If there has been need for re-
form it has been in lettering the
classes of foods which are intended
to feed the millions as well as keep
them in good health, and improving
tho conditions under which they are
prepared.
Such frauds had grown up in food
stufes that it was imperative that
stringent measures be taken to pro-
tect the lives and the health of the
people. U~nprincipled persons engaged
in manufacturing Of baking powders,
tiavoring extracts, the selling Of spices
and coffees and teas, and their prod
ucts were the vilest combinations of
drugs and other materials. These
goods were disposed of to dishonest
grocers, but the chief way of selling

ago the pure food department of a

CHAPTER nI.-continued.

A more serious subject was under
discussion in the other canoe, mean
time, as to the future disposition of
Chip herself.
II feel it my duty to take care of
her. Angie said, after relating her
conversation with Chip and that morn
ing's incident. "She is a homeless,
outcast waif, needing education and
everything else to Christianize her+
We must bring her to the settlement,
but to turn her adrift might mean l9av-
ing her to a life of vice, even If she
escapes her brutal father and this
worse half-breed. Then, again, | am
not sure that her ~parentage will bear
inspection. She has told me some
thing about her earlier life, and about
her mother, who evidently loved her.
One course only seems plain to me-
to take care of and educate this I'M
fortunate"
I'VE must take the girl back with
us and begin her reformation at the
camp. If she shows any aptitude and
willingness to obey, we will take her
to Greenvale. If not, you must ar
range to get her into some institution"
"And suppose the half-breed finds
where she is, what them" inquired
Martin.
What do you say, Levi" he added,
turning to his guide, you know this
fellow; what will he be apt to do?"
Il s'pose you know what a pantherll
do, robbed of her cub" Levi answered,

But Martin did not quite share Lewis
fears, and so Angles decision was
agreed to. Lewis advice to "keet

PRESIDENT WANTS
HUGHES TO RUN
Questions Involved in His
Candidacy Are Broader
Than State Politics

New York, Aug. 21-James 8.
Sherman, Republican candidate for
vice president, today made the an
nouncement that at yesterdays con-
ference with President Roosevelt at
Sycamore Hill 1t was developed that
the concensus of opinion was favor
able to the nomination of Governor
Hughes as a candidate to succeed
himself. He said he spoke for no
individual, but that this belief was
based on the fact that Hughes can
didacy was broader than the questions
involved in New York state politics.
The statement made today unques-
tionably will put an end to the or
ganization opposition to the candidacy
of Governor Hughes, although 1t is
possible that certain individuals will
continue to voice their protest against
continuance of Mr.. Hughes as the
head of the Republican ticket in the
state. With President Roosevelt,
Taft, Sherman, Hitchcock. several
New York members of congress and
other state leaders for Hughes 1t Is
not believed possible that the fight
against his denomination can gain
any headway. In fact, the political
leaders are now predicting that no
other name will be presented to the
convention.

on the platform and listen to the
speeches that are delivered by the
orators chosen for the occasion.
II would, of course. be glad to hear
these speeches but as I have already
said, I can read them in the newspa-
pers."
Continuing, he said:
"The fact that l do not care to
make any speeches. under the cir
cumstances, under the auspices of the
state committee, will not necessarily
interfere with my making speeches
under other auspices 1 find on my
desk today a number of invitations
to speak, scme from Ohio and some
from other localities.
IF I should see fit to accept any
of these invitations, while I would
certainly try to speak in such a way
as to help the Republican cause, yet
feel that I shall be at liberty to ex-
press my own views on important
questions about which there probably
will be more or less discussion during
progress of the campaign.

CATCHER STREET
WINS $500 BET
Catches a Baseball Dropped
From Top Of Washington
Monument

Washington, Aug. 21.-Chas. Street,
catcher of the Washington baseball
team, today won a bet of 500 dollars
made with John Biddle of this city
by performing the unprecedented
though of attempted feat of catching
regulation baseball dropped from
the top of the Washington monument.
1t was necessary to secure a permit
from Colonel Bromwell who is in
charge of the monument before this
feat could be undertaken because Of
the extreme danger involved. The
ball was dropped from one of the
small windows near the top of the
monument, a height of $50 feet above
ground, where Street caught 1t on the
thirteenth attempt. failure being due
to a rather brisk wind which de-
f1ected the ball in its course. Street

should be thorough re-argument up
on the only proposition as to which
the ruling of the trial judge up to
the verdict of guilty, is reversed.
The government contends that the
court of appeals in its opinion. has
laid down an erroneous rule for de-
termining the number Of offenses.
The government contends that each
shipment is the basis of distinct Of
tense; and that in this case each car
load was separate shipment.
The circuit court of appeals has
held that there is but one offense for
each settlement for freight.
The government cites against this
the opinion of Presiding Judge Cross
cup in the case of United States VS..
Hanley. II Fed. Rep, 672, 675, in
which that Judge laid down an exact
ly contrary rule to the one which he
laid down in the Standard Oil case.
The government contends that the
rule laid down by the court of ap-
peals is contrary to the principles of
the Elkins act, and leaves it to the
shipper and carrier to elect for how
many offenses they will be prosecuted
and how much they shall be fined.
Ignorance As a Defense.
The government contends in the
petition that the court of appeals has
done a great injustice to trial Judge
Lands in misstating what he did in
connection with the imposition of the
fine on the Standard Oil company.
The circuit court of appeals in its
opinion charges that Judge Lands as
sumed to fine the Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey, and imposed the
large fine for the reason that he was
satisfied that the Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey was not a "virgin
offender"
The government shows in its petit
tion that Judge Lands never referred
to the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey in this connection and that the
language used was used in connection
with the Standard Oil company of In
diana, and that nowhere were the pro-
ceedings directed or pretended to be
directed against the Standard Oil
company of New jersey
The government takes issue with
the court of appeals that Judge Lam
dis proceeding in this case amount
ed to a strange doctrine in Anglo
Saxon Jurisprudence and says that
the proceedings of Judge Lands are
in accordance with the rule of pro-
cedure pointed out by Mr.. Bishop in
his work on criminal law as one of
the elementary principles of that jur-
isprudence recognized from the
earliest days.
The government takes issue with
the circuit court of appeals as to its
proposition that a defendant cannot
be fined more than the value of the
property which he possesses and
states that this rule is an innovation
in criminal law and If applied would
destroy the enforcement of most
statutes.

answer was made in an address by
the Republican presidential candi-
date made today before gathering Of
several THOUSAND Virginia Nepubal-
cans who came to the mountains to
see and hear him and to celebrate
Virginia day. To make his point per-
fectly clear, Judge Taft referred to
the first election of Mr.. Mckinley as
one of the most intelligent and ef-
fective expressions of the popular
will ever manifested to the world and
said that the maintenance of the gold
standard and protective tariff by the
administration was the correct inter-
probation of the peoples will. This

Congressman c. S. Slemp had this to

Can it be possible that he (Bryan)
had reference to the political situa-
ton in Virginia? Does he not know
that under the existing laws sixty per
cent of the white and ninety per cent
of the colored population of voting
age have been disfranchised? Does
he not know that they have no voice
In the government OF either this
state Or. this nation? And can he
call this a rule Of the people? No

litical speeches in the south. The
conditions here do not square with

Chicago, Aug 21.-vicious dogs ter

city today. Eight victims were. re-
ported to the head of the police de-
partment, which ordered four more
policemen added to the death-dealing
squad which has been securing the

a shot from a policemen's revolver.
The other child was dragged down a
flight of stairs by a huge Newfound-
land dog and suffered broken arm
in addition to being bitten.
Child of 4 Years Attacked.
James Reilley, years old, 6149 Alb
erdeen street, was playing with sew
eral children in front of his home
at a. M, when a bulldog dashed
around corner and headed for the
group of boys and girls. They ran to
places of shelter as the animal leaped
at the Reilley child and bore him to
the ground. The vicious brute fasten-
ed it's teeth into the child's right cheek
and then into his throat. Policeman
Alexander George of the Englewood
station. who had been pursuing the
animal, ran up and hurled his club at
the dog without avail. He struck at
the frenzied animal repeatedly. and
as it clung to the child victim he whip
ped out his revolver and killed it.
The child was attended by DR..
