HOGG-SWkYNE DEAL
Crowley Feels Sore for having Let
Loose so Easily to the Beau

sued from Jennings that the

"Crowley people still have the

Especial Los Angeles Letter.l
wv HILE the seaside resorts on the
" Atlantic coast have world
wide reputation, less is known
concerning those upon our western
boundary, although the latter are fast
growing in general favor. To the per-
son who does not object to the desert
trip, and with whom the expense oil
the journey cuts no figure, the Pacific
shore line rivals the east in attraction.
While southern California is in the
same latitude as our southern states,
the climate is much more even than
in any other portion of the country.
The winters are warm, and the sum
mer days much cooler than those of
the northern states. A breeze comes
from the ocean until the middle of the
afternoon, the humidity is low, evap-
Grafton being very rapid. Nearly the
same amount of cover is required at
night in summer as in winter.
San Diego excels in the matter of
climate. Although it is but little north
of the Mexican line, the variation in
temperature is small from season to
season. Coronado Beach is, probably,
next to that at Santa Catalina Island,
the finest for bathing purposes, al
though Los Angeles people might con-
slider this statement unfair to their
tavorite Long Beach. During many
years visitors were compelled to con-
tent themselves with the accommoda-
tions None too gooO afforded at San
Diego, and ferry across the bay to the
beach daily, if they were mdisposed to
pay the rates charged at the great
hotel there. Now, residence at the
tented city, is the popular thing, and
it is not uncommon to see party of
''tirst family young ladies together

abode when all the carpenters happen

nothing iRlsCpncord to compare with
Wilbur Vlandingham's palatial home.
Willowview was a manor comprising,
in its entirety, almost thousand
broad acres abutting upon the town
site. The house was large and neat
ness personified without and within.
Dinner was waiting, and after Guy
had removed the cinders and dust
with which the short journey by freight
train had literally covered him, he
joined Miss Betty and her father in
the dining-room. There was only the
three of them and Guy was not long in
learning that Mrs. Vlandingham had
been dead for several years. The
daughter had taken the mothers place
in the household, and was filling it,
if Guy might judge, with eminent
credit to herself and supreme salts
faction to her father.
The dinner was charming, Miss Betty
made herself most agreeable, and
there was no talk of lots, or townsite
matters, oranything else that breathed
remotely of business or discord. Guy
forgot for the time the mission he
had undertaken at the Colonei's behest.

with something like shock, directly
after dinner, while he and Mr.. Wand

Necessity, Mr.. Fit, Astroloeer," etc.
Copyright, 1901, by the S. S. Mcclure Coz
CHAPTER I.-CoNr1NUEp.

Out in the workroom the red-headed
printer had been doing some peculiar
things. The moment Guy had left he
had thrust the brush end of broom
out through the open window; then, on
the reverse side of an old piece of copy,
he had written the following:
Guy Herbert, son of the late Mont
fort Herbert, arrived in Concord at
noon and at this hour-two p. m.-has
just left the old man. He's going over
to the town meeting tonight to get
some pointers. Watch out for him.
He's about twenty-five or three, five
feet eleven or possibly six feet tall,
dark hair and mustache, and looks as
though he was built for business"
That was all. The printer neither ad-
dressed the note nor signed it, and the
moment he finished writing the last
word a soft tap fell on the back door.
The printer made haste to answer
the knock. A man stood outside at the
head of the rear stairway-a strapping
big fellow with his trousers tucked in
his boot tops. He and the printer ex-
changed winks as the scrap of paper
was handed oyer. Then the big fellow
noiselessly descended and the printer
noiselessly closed the door and re-
moved the broom from the window.
That "leall" was through the stove
pipe hole in the Blizzard office.

high-priced building restrictions. At
this season the hill is mass of brown
sand. In winter, like all of southern
California, it is beautiful green. Just
how the necessary water for house
hold purposes andirrigntiono of grounds
will be supplied, seems to be an open
question. What is considered strong
feature of the place is lake or lagoon,
back a few hundred feet from the
shore, which is to be dredged out and
an outlet made into the ocean, SO that
fresh tide water may flow in and out.
Just now the pool is stagnant, and
said to contain large number of
sting rays, which are dangerous, and
are to be dredged out. The lagoon
will furnish still bathing. 1t is to be
surrounded by park. A large por-
ton of the town is to be on the bluffs
and land behind them, as the beach
property, proper, is limited in extent.
This is great scheme, and sounds
we'll, and with the millions said to
be back of it, may be carried to salts
factory issue. A part of the prop
erty consists of the old Ballona ranch,
and it was here that much money was
spent, years ago, trying to construct
a harbor from the lagoon. But sand
kept drifting in, compelling the aban-
donment of the enterprise. Trains
ran there at that boom time, but few
years ago the railroad company pulled
up their tracks. Those who attended

conveyances and taken to the beach,
about two miles distant. Women and
business men pretty evenly divided
the crowd, which was very merry
one. All minds were intent on values
from dollar and cent point of view.
A few carloads of very tired, but good
natured people, were pulled up to
Inglewood late in the day, where they
were compelled to wait nearly two
hours for an engine to couple on to
draw them to Los Angeles.
Everywhere along the coast is tho
lovely California sunshine, with full
breeze rendering every day of this sea-
son, thus far, cool and pleasant. Rest

something to delight the eye.

Modern window Adverti.inx.

Lay figures upon which to display
clothing in shop windows have been
in modern times enormously i'm
proved, so that the good ones are
now far from presenting that wood
enness of appearance that was once
commonly characteristic of them.
But occasionally some clothing mer-
chant, going in for realism, puts in
his window, as display figure, upon
which TO hang suits of clothes, living

figure will fix attention. The same

attract no special attention what
ever. But in the unfamiliar surround

BEING KIND.

In al. the blocks that have been read,
In all the days that come and go,
In all the great things men have said.
What better watchword do we know,
What better saying can we find
Than Just: Be kind?
So many faces on the street,
So many wistful eyes that gaze,
So many hearts at home, to beat
In swift response to loving praise
Who to his brother can be blind?
Let US be kind.
Think, ere the harsh words fall, and walt
A moment, till the frown shall fade;
And to thy heart and to thy gate
Gods little ones, all unafraid
Shall come, and leave all doubts behind
And so-be kind.
There's nothing in the world SO sweet,
There's nothing in the world so true
AS when one makes his day complete
BY doing what he has to do
With pure contentedness of mind
By being kind

Long Beach has leaped into favor be-
cause it has so very many natural ad-

few improvements. Now it is town
of homes, on a sort of plateau. The
contour of the country protects it
from the high winds, while there is al
ways pleasant breeze. 1t is one OF
the places which everybody likes,
hardly knowing the reason why.
But it is only fair to enumerate the
disadvantages of each place. There
is at Long Beach a kind of undertow
called a rip" An experienced swim

victims, makes a total of nine dur

is not many when one takes into con-
sideration the great number who

buoys which will reduce the danger to
minimum. Property at Long Beach

son of the duke of York, grandson of
the prince of Wales, great-grandson OF
Queen Victoria, and heir in the direct

Prince Edward, having been born on
June 90, 1894, is now well into his sixth
year, and regards himself as quite a
big boy, says Youths Companion.
His brother Albert is year younger,
and the two princes have had, perhaps,

Scraps" The duke of York is said
not to have interfered with their small
wars, saying that to "let them fight it
out will make them better men," But
he has interfered successfully with an
other weakness of Prince Edward.

dren, in meeting the queen, to kiss her
hand and not her cheek; but Prince
Edward did not like to do this, and OBJ

he; ''it's just granny"

prince who would not kiss granny's

unabashed, "and I'm not going to kiss
granny's hand!"
But when he had arrived at the age
of five he felt himself quite a man, and

of face and form, and the eyes, the
lips and the square, dimpled chin all
told of underlying strength. From
the viewpoint of a physiognomist she
delighted Guy, and it may be that the
joy of his character study betrayed it
self, for the young lady suddenly as
sumed naughty air which became
her amazingly. She vouchsafed him
a frigid stare, tossed her head disdain-
fully, and then well, just then the
train gave a terrific jerk in the I'M
comfortable manner that all freight
trains have, and the young lady was
precipitated from her perch fairly and
squarely into the young mans arms.
Guy was good sailor and able to keep
his feet in the hardest kind of blow,
SO he remained upright, and was able
to save the young lady from any i'll
effects that might have accompanied
her fall. Undoubtedly she was CRATE
full, but she did not show it. Her face
was in flame as Guy released her, and
her white teeth closed bitingly on her
red under lip.

A SPINNING GHOST.
Upon Investigation Proved to BE
Rat Enjoying Run Around
the Wheel.

On the post road in southern New
Hampshire stands an old house which
vas Sssce famous for it's ghost. 1t
aged by two brothers and two sis
tiers named Mason, relates the
Youths Companion.
The youngest of the family, Han
nah, had been Tilted in her youth.
After her desertion she never entered
any door save that of her own home,
but gave all her strength to hard
weeks, spin increasingly and weave
on hand loom, without apparently
a thought of rest.
She died after short illness, and
still travellers said that their slum-
bers were disturbed by the whir of
the wheel. Soon it was whispered
about that the Mason house was
haunted. Strange sounds were heard
from the garnet where Hannah had
always worked, and plainest of all
was the hum of the great wool Wheel
The brothers heard the story, and
at once set out to solve the mystery.
Joseph went to the garnet and
watched After time the wheel be-
gan TO revolve. He struck light.
On the rim of the wheel was a great
rat, running around.
Frequent visits to the garnet rem
dered this rat so tame that he would
come out on the spinning wheel by
DAYLIGHT. and several others were oc-
casionally seen to take spin in the
wheel, as if it were pleasant recre-
alton.
