The party reach camp <ef Mrs. Frisbie's father and are wel­ comed by him and Cy Walker, an ola friend and former townsman of the her­ mit. They settle down for summer's Stay. Chip and Ray are in love, but no •lie realizes this but Cy Walker. Strange c»noe marks found on lake shore In front CI their cabtn. Strange smok* is seen •cross the lake. Martin and Levi leave TOT settlement to get officers to arrest McG«.nre, who Is known as outlaw and escaped murderer. Chip's one woods fHend, Tomah, an Indian, visits camp.

Bolduc es­ capes. Old Cy proposes to Ray that he remain in the woods with himself and Amzl and trap during the winter, and he concludes to do so. Others of the party return to Greenvale, taking Chip with them. Chip starts"to school in Greenvale, •nd' finds life unpleasant at Aunt Com­ fort's, made so especially by Hannah. Old Cy and Ray»diseover strange tracks In the wilderness. They penetrate fur­ ther into tbe wilderness and discover th® hiding place of the man who had been sneaking about their cabin. They investi­ gate the cave home of McGuire during nis absence. Bolduc finds McGuire and the two flght to the death, finding a watery grave together. Ray returns to Greenvale and finds Chip waiting for him. Ray wants Chip to return to the woods with them, but she, feeling that the oM comradeship with Ray has been broken, refuses. When they part, how­ ever, it is as lo%rers. Chip runs away from Aunt Comfort's and finds another BOtne with Judson Walker. She gives her name as Vera Raymond. Aunt Abby, Aunt Mandy Walker's sister, visits them, and takes Chip home with her to Christ­ mas Cove. Chip goes to school at Christ­ mas Cove. She tells Aunt Abby the atory of her life. Aunt Abby tells her of their family, and she discovers that Cy Walker is a long-lost brother of Judson Walker, but fear of betraying her hiding place prevents her telling of Cy. Old Cy Investigates McGuire's cave in the wilder­ ness and finds a fortune that belongs to Chip. Old Cy returns to the wilderness camp with the news that Chip had dis­ appeared and proposes to start out to find her. He turns over to Martin a bank book showing a deposit of $60,000 in Chip's name. Chip returns to the home of .Jud- eon Walker at Peaceful "Valley for a summer vacation. Chip tells Judson of Cy and writes a note to Martin which dis­ closes her hiding place. Martin immedi­ ately visits the Walkers. He gives Chip her money and asks if he shall send Ray to her. but she says no. Aunt Abby's husband dies. Chip asks Martin to find Cy who is seeking the country over for her. He had been a youthful lover of Aunt Abby, and was supposed to have been lost at sea. Ray wants to go to Chip, but Martin advises him not to. Chip receives a letter from Ray, asking forgiveness for seeming slight and neg- ye're doln* *n* who for," he answered. "Chip's true blue, not one o' the fickle 'sort, 'n' once she keers fer a man, she won't give htm up till he's mar­ ried or dead. I think ye'd orter sent her word sooner,--ye know she run 'way out o' spunk,--but when ye go to her like a man 'n' say, 'I've been work- in' 'n' waitin' fer ye all the time,' thar won't be no quarrelin'." "I'm not so sure about; that,** re­ sponded Ray, soberly. "From what Uncle Martin said, my chance is gone with Miss Chip, and I don't blame her tor feeling so. Like every young fel­ low, I took it for granted that she was in love with me and ready to fall into my arms on call. Then I hadn't any plans in life, anyway, and, like a fool, believed it made no difference to her. To mix matters up still more, Hannah crowded herself into our affairs and said things to Chip, with the result that Chip got mad, ran away, and you know the rest." "Wal," asserted Old Cy, his eyes twinkling, "the time to hug a gal is when she's willin,' 'n' ye orter spunked up that nfght 'fore ye come away 'n' told her ye was callatin' to make yer fortin' in the woods, an' that ye want­ ed her to wait 'n* share it--then troubles, 'n', if need be she'd 'a' starved fer ye. I tell ye, boy, wimmin like her is scarce in this world, 'n' when ye hugged 'n' kissed her a little more by way o' bindln' the bargain, an'--know- in' that gal ez I do, she'd fought Han­ nah, tooth 'n' nail, 'n' walked through fire 'n' brimstun fer ye. I think, stead o' hidin' herself fer two years, an' changin' her name, she'd 'a' tramped clear to Grindstone jest to tell ye her terest you. Old Cy has been heard from at last. He spent a year looking for you. He has now gone into the woods, to my camp, where Ray located for the winter, and when spring comes, I can guess where they will head for." How welcome this news was to Chip, her face fully indicated; but neither Martin nor Angle realized how much or for what reason it Interested this soft-voiced, gracious lady whom Chip called Aunt Abby. They knew Uncle Jud was Old Cy's brother and that they had once been sailors from Bayport, but the long-ago romance of Aunt Abby's life was unknown to them. And now ensued a welcome to the callers such as only Uncle Jud and Aunt Mandy could offer. "We sorter feel we robbed ye o* Vera," Uncle Jud explained, "though 'twa'n't any intention on our part, an' so ye must gin us some chance to make amends. We callate 'twa'n't no fault o' yourn, either, only one o' them happenin's that was luck for us." That evening was one long to be re­ membered by all who were present, for Chip's history, as told by Martin and Angie, was the entertaining topic, and its humorous side was made the most of by Martin. Chip was in no wise an­ noyed by Martin's fun-making, either. Instead, conscious of the good-will and affection of the friends who had res­ cued her from the wilderness, she rather enjoyed it and laughed heartily at Martin's descriptibn of various inci­ dents, especially her first appearance in their camp, and the language she used. "I couldn't help swearing," she ex­ plained. "I never had heard much except 'cuss' words. I think also now, as I recall my life at Tim's Place, I would never have dared that desperate mode of escape had I not been hard­ ened by such a life. I wish I could see Old Tomah once more," she added musingly, "and I'd like to send him some gift. He was the best-hearted Indian I ever saw or heard of, and his queer teachings about spites and how they rewarded us for good deeds and punished us for evil ones was no harm, for it set me thinking. The one thought that encouraged me most dur­ ing those awful days and nights alone in the woods was the belief that CHAPTER XXXI.--Continued. That evening was one that none who Were in that wildwood camp ever for­ got, for Old Cy was the central figure, and told as only he could tlxe story ot tils year's wandering in search of Chip. It was humorous, pathetic and tragic All in one, and a tale that held Its lis­ teners spellbound for three delightful bours. "I had dogs set on me, hundreds on 'em," Old Cy said, in conclusion, "an' I never knew afore how many kinds 'n' sizes o' dogs thar was in this world. I uster think thar warn't more'n two dozen or so kinds. I know now thar's two million 'n' a few more I didn't wait to count. I got 'rested a few times on account o' not havin' vis­ ible means o' support. I've been tiauled over the coals by doctors tryin' to make me out a lunatic, 'n' I'd 'a* done time in jail if I hadn't had money to show. I tell ye, boys, this is an aw­ ful 'spicious world fer strangers, 'n' the milk o' human kindness is mostly old cheese, 'n' all rind at that. I had a little fun, too, mixed in with all the trouble, 'n' one woman who owned a place where I 'plied for lodgin' jest *bout told me she'd be willin' to marry me if I'd stay 'n' work the farm. She had red hair, hard eyes, 'n' bossy sort o' ways, an' that's a dangerous combi­ nation. I watched my chance when she wa'n't lookin', 'n' lit out middlin' lively." And now life at this wilderness «amp, less restrained than when wom­ ankind were here, became one of work, and persistent, steady, no time-wasted work at that. Martin had said that Levi could boss matters, but it was Ray who assumed management in­ stead. Two years had changed him almost from boy to man. His new ambition was the controlling power. He was here to make his mark, as It •were, and the half-hearted, boyish in­ terest in work had changed into a tire­ less leadership. Then, too. an un­ spoken, tacit interest in his ambition was felt by those who helped. They knew what he was striving for, and that Chip was the ultimate object. Her history, known as it now was to all who came into the wilderness, in­ fluenced the woodsmen. She had been of them and from them, and as an en­ tire village will gather to help at a house-raising, so these three, Levi and the two helpers, now felt the same In­ centive. Success usually comes to all who strive for it, and now, with four will­ ing workers to aid him, Ray was rapid­ ly making a success of this venture. Old Cy, the most valuable assistant, was indefatigable. He not only kept the larder well supplied with game, bat tended and set traps, worked in the woods with the rest between times, and his cheerful optimism and droll humor bridged many a stormy day and shortened many a weary tramp. And he seemed to grow younger in this new, helpful life for others. His eyes were bright, his step elastic, his spirits buoyant, his strength tireless. With Chip safe and provided lor, with Ray succeeding in manhood's aatural ambition, Old Cy saw his heart's best hopes nearing fruition, and for these two and in these two all his interest centered. Only once was the bond of feeling between Ray and Chip referred to by Old Cy, and then In response to a wish of Ray's that he might hear from her. "I don't think ye've cause to worry mm. arter ye've seat her word what Visited a Strange Romantic Grotto Up In the Mountains. find one young 'n' pretty ec she is, hang on to her an' hang hard." "I know it now well enough," re­ turned Ray, ruefully; "but that don't help matters. Then that fortune you found for her makes my case all the worse, and Chip quite independent." "It do, it do," chuckled Old Cy, as If glad of it, "an' ail the more need o' you hustlin'. It's a case o' woodchuck with ye now. But don't git discour­ aged. Jest dig. Chip's worth it, ten times over, 'n' no man ever worked to win a woman 'thout bein' bettered by it." * It was terse and homely advise, and not only convinced Ray that he had neglected one whom he now folt meant home, wife, happiness, and all that life might mean for him, but made him realize that all possible striving and self-denial must be made in atone­ ment. With whom and what sort of people Chip had found asylum, he knew not. What influence they would have upon her feelings was an equally unknown matter; and worse than that, the ogre of another suitor for Chip's favor now entered Ray's calcu­ lations, and the slang truism, "There are i others," was with him every wak­ ing1 moment--a much-deserved pun­ ishment, til womankind will say. CHAPTER XXXII. One day while Aunt Abby and Chip were enjoying the newly furnished home of Uncle Jud, a capacious car­ riage drawn by a handsome pair of horses halted there and Martin and Angie alighted. "We are taking a cross-country drive for an outing," he explained, after An­ gie had kissed Chip tenderly and greet­ ings had been exchanged. "We have waited for you, Miss Runaway, to come and visit us," he added, turning to Chip, "until we couldn't wait any longer and so came to look for yon. We have also some news that may in- among the spites which I was sure fol­ lowed me was my mother's soul. I've never changed in my belief, either, and shall always feel that she guided me to your camp." Uncle Jud also obtained his share of fun at Chip's expense, describing his finding of her with humorous addi­ tions. "She was all beat out that night I found her on top o' Bangall hill, 'n' yet when I asked her if she'd run away from some poor farm, she was ready to claw my eyes out, an' dunno's I blame her. I was innocent, too, fer I really s'posed she had." Martin's visit at this hospitable home was not allowed to terminate for a week, for visitors seldom came here, and Uncle Jud, as big a boy as his brother when the chance came, planned all sorts of trips and outings to entertain them, and quite charac­ teristic affairs they were, too. % One day they drove to a wood-bar dared pond far up the valley, fished a few hours for pickerel and perch, and had a fish fry and picnic dinner. The next day they visited a strange, romantic grotto up in the mountains, known as the Wolfs i>en, and here s table was set, broiled chicken, sweet corn, and such toothsome fare formed the meal, with nut-gathering for amusement. Squirrel and partridge shooting also furnished Martin a little excitement. When he and Angie insisted that they must leave, both host and hostess showed genuine regret. A few re­ marks made by Angie to her former protege, in private, the last evening of this visit, may be quoted. "I must insist, my dear child," she said, "that you make us a visit in the near future. You left us under an en­ tirely false impression and it has grieved me more than you can im­ agine. There was never a word of truth in anything that Hannah said. She was spiteful and malicious and desired to get even with you for a hurt to her pride. We had bo thought of hurrying away to the woods to sep­ arate you and Ray for any reason whatever. Of course, as you must know, i had no suspicion of any at­ tachment between you, and if I had, I certainly should not have tried to break it off in that way. That is a matter that concerns only you and him. My own life experience shows that first love is the wisest and best, and while you were both too young then for an engagement, you must be­ lieve me when I tell you that I had no wish to interfere." And so the breach was healed. This visit of the Frisbies to Peace­ ful Valley also awakened something of repentance in Chip's mind, and more mature now, it occurred to her that leaving Greenvale as Bhe did, was, after all, childish. Then Angie's part in this drama of her life now returned to Chip in a new light. Once she began to reflect, her self-accusation grew apace and her repentance as well. Now she began to see herself as she was at Tim's Place. "I think I treated my Greenvale friends very ungratefully," she said to Aunt Abby one evening after they had returned to Christmas Cove once more, "and what Mrs. Frisbie said to me has made me realize it. I know now that few would have done what she did for me. I was an Ignorant, dirty, home­ less creature and no relation of hers, and yet she took charge of me, bought me clothes, paid all my expenses going to Greenvale, clothed me there, and always treated me nicely without my even asking for it. "The Frisbies certainly ran some risk by keeping me at their cabin when they knew that half-breed was after me. I don't know why they should have done all this. I was noth­ ing to them. And yet when I recall the night I stumbled into their camp, how Mrs. Frisbie dressed me in her own clothes, shared her tent with me, and even prayed for me, I feel ashamed to think of what I have done. I did think that Mrs. Frisbie despised me from what Hannah said. I know now that I was wrong, and running away as I did, was very ungrateful." "I think it was, myself," responded Aunt Abby, "and yet believing as you did, Mrs. Frisbie ought not to blame you. I don't think she does, either. She seems a very sensible woman, and I like her. You made your mistake in not confiding in her more. You should have gone to her as you would to mother, in the first place, and told her just what Hannah had said to you aad how you felt about it. To brood over such matters and imagine the worst possible, Is unwise In any one. I think from what you have told me, that this person who sneered against you so much must have had a spite against you." "Hannah was jealous, I know," Chip interrupted, smiling at the recollec­ tion, "and I hurt her feelings because 1 asked her why she didn't shave." "Didn't shave!" exclaimed Aunt Abby, wide-eyed; "what do you mean?" "Why, she has whiskers, you see," laughed Chip, "almost as much as some men--a nice little mustache and some on her chin. I told her the next day after I got there I thought she was a man dressed as a woman. I snickered, too, I remember, when I said it, for she looked so comical-- like a goat, almost--and then I asked her why she didn't shave. I guess she laid it up against me ever after." "She revenged herself amply, It seems." answered Aunt Abby. When Christmas neared, and with it a vacation for Chip, new impulses came to her: a desire to visit Green­ vale once more and make amends as best she could to her friends there; and her gift-giving desire was quick­ ened by the coming holidays. She now felt that she had ample means to grat­ ify this latter wish. Day by day, since meeting Angie again, her sense of ob­ ligation had increased, and now it was in her power at Christmas-tide to re­ pay at least a little of the debt Others were also included in this generous project: Uncle Jud, Aunt Mandy, her foster-mother, Aunt Abby, as well; and then there was Old Cy, whom most of all Bhe now desired to make glad. That was Impossible, how ever. He was still an absent wander­ er, and so, as it ever Is and ever win be, some thread of regret, some note of sorrow, must be woven lntoall joys. (To Be Continued.) PRESIDENT AGAIN ASKS PAS8AGE OF SEVERAL LAWS. SENDS SPECIAL MESSAGE Chief Executive Urges Injunction and National Incorporation Legislation --Raps Girls Who Marry Foreign Nobleman. Washington.--Conditions In both the senate and the house were such that the special message of the president, further outlining his views as to leg­ islation, which was sent to congress Monday received but scant attention. The message arrived late in the day and the house was so tied up under its new rules that it could not ofHcially receive the message, while the senate was In the midst of the consideration of the naval appropriation bill under the ten-minutes rule when the docu­ ment reached that body. Unlike the house, the senate permitted the for­ mal presentation of the message, but by tbe time the naval bill had been disposed of the hour was so late and the attendance so small that no at­ tempt was made to read the docu­ ment. The message in part: In my message to the congress of March 25, 1908, I outlined certain measures which I believe the majori­ ty of our countrymen desire to have enacted into law at this time. These measures do not represent by any means all that I would like to see done If I thought it possible, but they do represent what I believe can now be done if an earnest effort toward« this end is made. Asks Injunction Legislation. First, as to the power of injunction and of • punishment for contempt. In contempt cases, save where immediate action is imperative, the trial should be before another judge. As regards injunctions, some such legislation as that I have previously recommended should be enacted. They are blind who fail to realize the extreme bitter­ ness caused among large bodies of worthy citizens by the use that has been repeatedly made of the power of Injunction in labor disputes. Those in whose judgment we have most right to trust are of the opinion that while much of the complaint against the use of the injunction is unwarranted, yet that it is unquestionably true that In a number of cases this power has been used to the grave Injury of the rights of laboring men. I ask that it be limited in some such way as that I have already pointed out in my previ­ ous messages, for the very reason that I do not wish to see an embittered ef­ fort made to destroy It. It Is unwise stubbornly to refuse to provide against a repetition of the abuses which have caused the present unrest. In a de­ mocracy like ours it is idle to expect permanently to thwart the determina­ tion of the great body of our citizens. It may be and often is the highest duty of a court, a legislature, or an executive, to resist and defy a gust of popular passion; and most certainl^ no public servant, whatever may be the consequences to himself, should yield to what he thinks wrong. Otcrfes Overuse of Injunction. But In a question which is em­ phatically one of public policy, the policy which the public demands is sure in the end to be adopted; and a persistent refusal to grant to a large portion of our people what is right is only too apt in the end to result in causing such irritation that when the right is obtained it is obtained in the course of a movement so ill considered and violent as to be accompanied by much that is wrong. The process of injunction in labor disputes, as well as where state laws are Involved, should be used sparingly, and only when there is the clearest necessity for It; but ft is one so necessary to the efficient performance of duty by the court on behalf of the nation that it 1b in the highest degree to be re­ gretted that it should be liable to reck­ less use; for this reckless use tends to make honest men desire so to ham­ per its execution as to destroy its use­ fulness. Would Strengthen Trust Law. The strengthening of the anti-trust law Is demanded upon both moral and economic grounds. Our purpose In strengthening It is to secure more ef­ fective control of the national govern­ ment over the business use of the vast masses of individual, and especially of corporate, wealth, which at the pres­ ent time monopolize most of the in­ terstate business of the country; and we believe the control can best be exercised by preventing the growth of abuses, rather than merely by trying to destroy them when they have al­ ready grown. In the highest sense of the word this movement for thorough control of the business use of this great wealth is conservative. We are trying to steer a safe middle course, which alone can save us from a pluto­ cratic class government on the one hand, or a socialistic class govern­ ment on the other, either of which would be fraught with disaster to our free institutions, state and national. We are trying to avoid alike the evils which would flow from government ownership of the public utilities by which interstate commerce is chiefly carried on, and the evils which flow from the riot and chaos of unrestrict­ ed individualism. There is grave danger to our free institutions in the corrupting influence exercised by great wealth suddenly concentrated in the hands of the few. We should in sane manner try to remedy this dan­ ger, in spite of the sullen opposition of these few very powerful men, and with the full purpose to protect them in all their rights at the very time that we require them to deal right­ fully with others. Need National Incorporation. No judicial tribunal has the knowl­ edge or experience to determine in the first place whether a given combina­ tion is advisable or necessary in the interest of the public. Some body, whether a commission, or a bureau under the department of commerce and labor, should be given this power. My personal belief Is that ultimately we shall have to adopt a national in­ corporation law, though I am well aware that this may be impossible at present. Over the actions of the ex­ ecutive body in which the power Is placed the courts should possess mere­ ly a power of review analogous to that obtaining In connection with the work of the interstate commerce commis­ sion at present. To confer this power would not be a leap in the dark; it would merely be to carry still further the theory of effective governmental control of corporations which was re­ sponsible for the creation of the inter­ state commerce commission and for the enlargement of its powers, and for the creation of the bureau of corpora­ tions. Labor Unions Exempted. So far as labor is engaged In produc­ tion only, its claims to be exempted from the anti-trust law are sound. This would substantially cover the right of laborers to combine, to strike peaceably, and to enter Into trade agreements with the employers. But when labor undertakes in a wrongful manner to prevent the distribution and sale of the products of labor, as by certain forms of the boycott, it has left the field of production, and its action may plainly be in restraint of inter­ state trade, and must necessarily be subject to inquiry, exactly as in the case of any other combination for the same purpose, so as to determine whether such action is contrary to sound public policy. The heartiest en­ couragement should be given to the wage-workers to form labor unions and to enter Into agreements with their employers; and their right to strike, so long as they act peaceably, must be preserved. • But we should sanction neither a boycott nor a black­ list which would be illegal at common law. The measures I advocate are in the Interest both of decent corporations and of lawabiding labor unions. They are, moreover, preeminently in the Interest of the public, for in my judg­ ment the American people have defi­ nitely. made up" their minds that the days of the reign of the great iaw- defying and law-evading corporations are over, and that from this time on the mighty organizations of capital necessary for the transaction of busi­ ness under modern conditions, while encouraged so long as they act hon­ estly and in the interest of the gen­ eral public, are to be subjected to care­ ful supervision and regulation of a kind so effective as to insure their acting in the interest of the people as a whole. Hits Titled American Women. Among the many kinds of evil, so­ cial, Industrial and political, which it is our duty as a nation sternly to com­ bat, there is none at the same time more base and more dangerous than the greed which treats the plain and simple rules of honesty with cynical contempt if they Interfere with mak­ ing a profit; and as a nation we can­ not be held guiltless if we condone such action. The man who preaches hatred of wealth honestly acquired, who Inculcates envy and jealousy and slanderous ill will toward those of his fellows who by thrift, energy and in­ dustry have become men of means, is a menace to the community. But his counterpart in evil is to be found in that particular kind of multimillionaire who is almost the least enviable, and Is certainly one of the least admirable, of all our citizens; a man of whom it has been well said that his face has grown hard and cruel while his body has grown soft; whose son Is a fool and his daughter a foreign prin­ cess; whose nominal pleasures are at best those of tasteless and extrava­ gant luxury, and whose real -delight, whose real life work, is the accumula­ tion and use of power in its*most sor­ did and least elevating form. In the chaos of an absolutely unrestricted commercial individualism under mod­ ern conditions, this is a type that be­ comes prominent as inevitably as the marauder baron became prominent in the physical chaos of the dark ages. We are striving for legislation to min­ imize the abuses which give this type its flourishing prominence. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
