cRusoE,s ISLAND.

The story of Robinson Crusoe has
been read and reread, and we have all
followed the adventures of De Foes
hero with deep interest. But what had
Man Friday been doing before he and
Crusoe met. We are told of his wan
behring's over the lonely isle, of his
methods of living, of his dolce far
niente life. The question has often
been asked whether or no Friday left
any record unknown to Crusoe that
might enlighten the future ages. Re-
Gently an expedition composed of De
Foe enthusiasts set out for the pur-
pose of searching for the island, and
strange as it may seem their efforts
were rewarded. Among other relics
was found a weather beaten sign bear
ing the legend ''The Douglas Patent
Closet never leaks" On the lower cor
ner was cut Bath the plumber" There
is no record in the story that Crusoe
knew of Fridays find.

There was much excitement in the

200 were dispatched to the scene Of
the trouble. The municipal police have
arrested four armed men who were
