determined to see all there was that could
be called wild and woody and immediately
demanded to know where he could ride on

unused and unhonored, on tho sides of the
hills, bat stage line still runs between
Dca3woui and Spcarfsh. perched beside
the driver Of this stage tho tourist was
delighted to find that this man had really
driven q coach in the good old days. All
efforts to draw out some story or even a
savo remark which could be carefully
treasured and repeated were failures.
They were bowling along tho side of a
creek, and the tourist finally said:
Il hear you've got fine trout in these
streams. "
No response.

"Fno fish, sir"

GDon't You like trout?" asked the travel
err in desperation, turning i'll his seat in a
way that demanded an answer.

THE HERMIT or SAN CrEMENTE.
Only Inhabitant of,an Island Sixty Miles
OF the California Coast.

San Clemente island, which lies 90 miles
west one-half south Of Point Iona light
house, on the southern coast Of California,
is 1877 miles long, with an average width
Of 2L miles and an area Of 51H square
miles 1t Is a lonesome spot, suggestive
Of Spanish buccaneers and pirates general
~. It rears its ugly head Of black plu-
tonic rocl, nearly 2, 900 feet above the sea
level, and IN the deep guiches treasures q
few sumao trees as q miser guards his
sold Cactus abounds. Natural water
tanks In the rock are found on the edges
OF the plateaus They were worn by rocks
whirled around In holes during heavy
rainfalls. The water in these tanks has
eaved the lives Of many thirsty mariner
who has put in there for a supply OF the
life giving nuid It was here That Cabrillo
landed in October, 1542fafter discovering
San Diego harbor. He named the island
La Victoria, after one Of his smaller ships,
the present name having been given CEN
tury later.
There Is but one human being on San
Clemente, the hermit herder, Tom Gal
Iagher Tom is a character with history
His shaggy head and beard and curious
attire give him the look Of q savage, but
Tom Is very much Of white man in his
heart, even though he has lived alone with
his sheep for over 90 years Occasionally
T. struggling junk seeking abalone, or now
and then fisherman, stops in the cave or
San Ciemente, brings Tom the news and
furnishes him with supplies To loosen
Toms tongue tho explorer must have
handy n chew of tobacco and drink Of
whisky. He has favorite water tanl.

Whisky is a novelty to this hermit, but II
never causes him to forget himself sufl
GENTLY to reveal the details OF his main
land life. lie was fisherman somewhere
between San Diego and Monterey bay. He
had good prospects, but one day he took is
into his head to 1.-Two alone on San Glenn
ento. That is about ali that Tom will say
OF himself
There arc people who claim to know
Toms history, and IL IS a romantic story,
they say, with love Affair in it, of course.
The woman Tilted him, and he sought the
island cloister. Tom lives in a comfort
able hut, with vegetable patch, chickens,
goat and his sheep. His is regular
Robinson Crusoe outfit except that there
il no man Friday to serve him. This lord
Of San Cicmcnto does not want servants.
Ho simply wants to be let alone, with only

which n witch was killed in a very
strange fashion. 4 negro called on a

was told that the cause Of the trouble
was n witch and that she must lie kill
ed: that the only way possible to thus
put her ont of the way was to go into

a silver bullet. the cross representing
the witch's heart. The shooting was
duly done in the presence of quite a

the northern part of this county. c.
