So you re coming up to the Roof

that first stop on the landing
where YOU sort of halt to give
give Old Betsy drink and get breath
yourselfa Where the first cool breeze
hits your greatful cheek on day when
the old desert is fairly sizzling, and the
back of your shirt, Mr.. Valleyite, bears
most of the real leather finish from the
old flivver seat; and Mrs. Naleyite
feels that her fair young complexion
is meeting and going to streaks? Yes,
that IS us, Cor does your intelligence
demand that I say 'wes' that'is to
say, we have charge of the Landing.
We're not asking you to forego the
visit to the Roof Garden, but the Land

place, a place to stop and look around
and have a cool drink and gather fresh
impetus for the rest of the upward jour

We wonder if you realize what we
have been doing here for You, Mr.. and
Mrs. valleyite, and particularly for
Old Betsy-what energy and good hard

''HAM' Sees THE

THE ROOF GARDEN

The Press sports editor, commonly
known as Ham, in company with
crowd of male cohorts, flivvered to ia
cumba last Sunday to see the sights
and especially to see the grand open
inc of this popular resort. There were
hundreds Of people from the valley
swarming around the swimming pond,
merry -go-round, picnic grounds and the
concessions. They were all having Il
grand time Judging from the way Shey
contributed their sheckles.
Our crowd, decided to hike to the
rocky precipices. We were ambitious.
Yeah, so ambitious that we almost wore
out all the leather of our kicks. The
depreciation was terrible. And one
can imagine how fatigued we were
after travelling for two long hours.
Arriving at the resort one of the
boys noticed a sign reading :" Hot
Water Sulphur Baths A good idea
to recuperate, thought we. There
I! were about as many private tubs as
there were members of our crew. The

FAMED TAXIDERMlST
HAS CONCESSION AT
JACUMBA SPRINGS

William s'nad' Haskirs, noted tcxi'
dermist in southern California and
formerly of Long Beach, will open an
unique novelty concession at Jacumba
Hot Springs next week, providing his
stone building, now under process OF
construction, can be completed. His
stone concession is located adjacent to
the concrete plunge.
Mr.. Haskns is the man who mounted
the huge whale that has been seen by
thousands of visitors on the pier at
Long Beach. Back in the year 1877 a
large whale drifted ashore after ter
ribl encounter with a school of sword
fish. The fish was finally killed on
the beach by members of the fire de-
partment and others. Two young boys
claimed the whale and sold 1T to the
Salt Lake railroad and the city OF Long
Beach for $50. Both the Southern Pa
cifie and Salt Lake roads conducted
excursions to the city and thousands
of people viewed the mammoth whale
on the beach.
"Dadn decided to mount the "ocean
liner He enlisted the services of 81
Mexicans and Chinese to help him IN
his undertaking. Over 80 tons of meat
were carved from the sides of the
whale and then stored in n warehouse
for drying purposes. The following
spring Mr. Haskins mounted the fish
and placed it on the end of the pleasure
pier at Long Beach.
Considerable speculation was mani
tested among the towns people as to
whether Haskins was able to dismantlc
the whale and mount it correctly. 81

corner while l was at work. They all

of faith in my ability and finally l

CHAPTER l, The Messenger.

Peter Blood, bachelor of medicine and several other things besides smoked pipe and tended the gera- niums boxed on the sill of his win dow above Water Lane In the town of Bridgewatcr.
 MT. Elood's attention was divided between his task and the stream of humanity in the narrow street below. pouring for the second time that day in the direction Of Castle Field, where earlier in the afternoon Fer- guson, the Dukes chaplain. had preached q sermon that contained more treason than divinity,
 Bridgewater like Taunton. had yielded generously of it's manhood 10 the service of the Duke.
 Peter Blood had read the absurd proclamation posted at the Cross at Bridgewater--as it had ben posted also at Taunton and elsewhere-set- ting forth that upon the decease of our Sovereign Lord Charles the Second the right of succession to the Grown of England Scotland, France. and Ireland. with the dominions and territories thereunto belonging, did legally descend and devolve upon the most illustrious and high-born Prince James Duke of Monmouth, son and heir apparent to the said King Charles the Second" 1's M
 MT. Blood knocked the ashes from his pipe. closed the window and drew the curtains.
 He was the son of an Irish medicus, by Somersetshire lady in whose veins ran the rover blood of the Fro bishers, which may account for a cer- tain wildness that had early mani fested itself in his disposition. A set of curious chances led him to take service with the Dutch, then at war with France; and a predilection for the sea made him elect that this serv- ice should be upon that element. He had the advantage of a commission under the famous de Ruyter, and fought in the Mediterranean engage ment in which that great Dutch ad- miral lost his life.
 In January, 1865. he had come to Bridgewater, possessor of fortune that was approximately the same as that with which he had originally set out from Dublin eleven years ago.
 That is all his story or so much of 1t as matters up to that night six months later, when the battle of 6edgemoor was fought.
 z The armies came into collision in the neighborhood of two o'clock in the morning. MT. Blood slept undis- turbed through the distant boom of cannon. Not until four o'clock, when Az ..,,, u,oe s,-; qipC fo diSpel inc last wisps of mist over that stricken field of battle, was he awakened from his tranquil slumbers
 There is slanting golden light of the risen sun stood a breathless wild-eyed man and steaming horse.

 Take up the day-bed," said Cap tain Hobart, and convey him on that to Bridgewater. Lodge him in the gaol until I take order about him."
 Gildoy made. feeble effort to put forth hand toward Mir. Blood Sir" he said, you leave me in your debt. If I live I shall study how to discharge it."
 Captain became brisk. He turned upon the yeoman.
 What other cursed rebels do you harbor?"
 None other, sir. His lordship :. ?
 But the Captain did not heed him. He was stooping to pick up soiled and dusty hat in which there was pinned little bunch of oak leaves. It had been lying near the clothes press in which the unfortunate Pitt had taken refuge. The Captain smiled inadvertently.
 Then the Captain stepped to the press, and pulled open one of the wings, of it's massive oaken door. He took the huddled inmate by the col lar of his doublet, and lugged him out into the open.
 The soldiers trailed out by the door leading to the interior. MT. Blood was thrust by his guards into the courtyard. From the threshold of the hall, he looked back at Captain Hobart, and his sapphire eyes were blazing.
 CHAPTER III
 The Lord Chief Justice
 It was not until two months later on the 18th of September-that Peter Blood was brought to trial, upon a charge of high treason. Two months of inhuman, unspeakable inn prisonment had moved his mind to a cold and deadly hatred of King James and his representatives.
 His chain companion on that march to prison had been the same Jeremy Pitt who had been the agent of his present misfortunes. The young had remained his close companion after their common arrest.
 The hall, even to the galleries thronged with spectators. most of whom were ladies-was hung in scar let.
 At the upper end, on a raised dais, sat the Lords Commissioners, the five judges in their scarlet. robes and heavy dark periwigs. Baron Jeffreys of Wem enthroned in the middle place.
 The prisoners filed in under guard. Mr. Blood considered with interest the twelve good men and true that com posed the jury. Neither good nor true did they look.
 From them Mir. Blood's calm. de- liberate glance passed on to consider the Lords Commissioners, and par ticularly the presiding Judge whose terrible fame had come ahead of him from Dorchester.
 The clerk called upon Andrew Baynes to hold up his hand and plead.
 From Baynes, who pleaded not
