CHAPTER III.
The Lord Chief Justice.

1t was not until two months later
ON the 18th Of September, if you
must have the actual date-that
Peter Blood was brought to trial. upon
a charge of high treason. We know
that he was not guilty of this; but
we need not doubt that he was quite
capable of it by the time he was in
dicted. Those two months of lnhu-
man, unspeakable Imprisonment had
moved his mind to cold and deadly
hatred of King James and his rep
resentatives. 1t says something for
his fortitude that in all the circum-
stances he should still have had Il
mind at all. Yet. terrible as was the
position of this entirely innocent man,
he had cause for thankfulness on two
counts. The first of these was that
he should have been brought to trial
at all: the second. that his trial took
place on the date named, and not
day earlier. In the very delay which
exacerbated him lay-although he did
not realize it-his only chance of
avoiding the gallows.
Easily but for the favor of fortune,
he might have been one of those hailed
on the morrow of the battle, more or
less haphazard from the overlooking
gaol of Bridgewater to be summarily
hanged in the market place by the
blood thirsty Col kirke. There was
about the colonel of the TangierS
regiment deady dispatch which
might have disposed in like fashion
of all those prisoners, numerous as
they were. but for the vigorous inter
vention of Bishop News, which put
an end to the drumhead courts mar
tial
Even so, in that first week after
Sedgemoor, Kirke and Feversham
contrived between them to put to
death over 100 men after a trial so
summary as to be TO trial at all.
They required human freights for the
gibbets with which they were plant
ing the countryside, and they little
cared how they procured them or
what innocent lives they took. What,
after all, was the life of a clod? The
executioners were kept busy with
rope and chopper and cauldrons of
pitch. l spare you the details of that
nauseating picture. 1t is, after all,
with the fate of Peter Blood that we
are concerned rather than with that
of the Monmouth rebels.
He survived to be included in one
of those melancholy droves of pris-
oners who, chained in pairs, were
marched from Bridegwater to Taun-
ton. Those who were too sorely
wounded to march were conveyed in
carts. into which they were brutally
crowded. their wounds undressed and
fostering. Many were fortunate
enough to die upon the way. When.
Blood insisted upon his right to exer-
else his art SO as to relieve some of
this suffering. he was accounted i'm
Fortunate and threatened with
flogging. If he had one regret now ii
was that he had not been out with
Monmouth. That, of course, was
l1e 4. h,,t
logic from a man in his position.
Evening star., 1924-10-17

and he was dragged helplessly yard
or two before the trooper relneo IN,
cursing him foully and striking MIN
with the nat of his sword.
1t came to Mr. Blood, as he trudged
toward under the laden apple trees
on that fragrant, delicious July morn
ing, that man-as he had long sus-
pected-was the ulest work of God,
and that only a fool would set him
self up as a healer of a species that
was best exterminated.

The soldiers trailed out by the
door leading to the interior. Mr.
Blood was thrust by his guards into
the courtyard, where Pitt and Baynes
already waited. From the threshold
of the hall he looked back at Capt.
Hobart, and his sapphire eyes were
blazing. On his lips trembled a
threat of what he would do to Hobart
IL he should happen to survive this
business. Betimes he remembered
that to utter it were probably to ex-
tinguish his chance of living to exc
cute it. For today the kings men
were masters in the west, and the
west was regarded as enemy country,
to be subjected to the worst horror
OF war by the victorious side. Here

assumption that to the dragons this
was a conquered enemy country.
There were sounds of rending tim

thrown, the shouts and laughter of
brutal men, to announce that this
hunt for rebels was no more than a
pretext for pillage and destruction
Finally, above all other sounds, came
the piercing screams Of a woman in
acutest agony.
Baynes checked in his stride and
swung round, writhing, his face
.ashen. As consequence he was
jerked from his feet by the rope that
attached him to tho stirrup leather.

Loew S Palace Celebrates.

THE observance and celebration,
during the week beginning today.
Of the sixth anniversary of the open
ing of Loew'S Palace Theater. brings
sharply to mind the important part
that this and other big downtown
theaters have played in adding the
i street and Fourteenth areas to the
night-life territory of Washington,
which only a scant six years ago, was
almost entirely confined to Pennsyi
yania avenue and Ninth street.
1t will be recalled that when the
Columbia Theater, at Twelfth and F
..!-cets, fell upon evil days as
legitimate theater, due to the evolu-
ton and conflict of booking interests
in New York, and was temporarily
almost abandoned as a temple of the
drama, the whole area from Ninth
street to Fourteenth became of prac-
tically no moment. commercially,
once the dinner-hour homeward rush
was over.
The rejuvenation of this now popu-
lar night-life district was given its
1irst impulse when Marcus Loew took
over the Columbia from the tzerott
interests and opened it as the first
motion picture house on + street, in
1915. Despite the success of the
Columbia, no further move to enliven
r street cinematographically was
made until 1917, when the Loew in

Rn-Tin-Tin, Wonder Dog.

THE enormous salaries of Hollywood

believe when we learn that a certain
dogs salary is over $500 a week.
Rin-TinTin. the wonder dog of the

sum every week for his master and
earns every cent of it.
Rim Tin-Tin is said to know every
dog trick conceivable. and many that
