A WOMAN ROBINSON cRUsoE.
Romance and Hardship of French
Girl Exile on Lone
Island.

Off the coast of Newfoundland lies
a small island known as the Isle of
Demons, which holds within its rocky
shores romance as thrilling and a
tragedy as real as any told in fiction
says Youths Companion. About 1910
Marguerite de Roberval, niece of the
| French viceroy, fell in love with a
young cavalier and promised him her
heart and hand. Her uncle. the vice
roy, considered the youth unworthy Of
his niece's proud position, and angered
by her refusal to give up her lover, he
passed sentence of exile upon both
OF them A vessel carried the couple
to the Isle of Demons, leaving them
there alone, with an old nurse who at
tended the lady Marguerite from her
childhood, and who wished to share
her exile.
At first the Punishment did not seem
so dreadful thing; the young mans
strength stood between his wife and
suffering, and for two years all went
well. A child was born, and the par
ents began to plan for the establish
ment of colony which might thrive
in this island home. Then came trou-
bic, swift and terrible.
Disease smote the little family, and
the young wife and mother saw her
husband, child and faithful nurse all
sicken and die. With her own hands
she dug their graves and buried all
that was dear to her; and then began
life alone, a life in which the mere
question of existence became prob
lem hard indeed for frail woman to
solve. By means of the gun that had
been her husbands, she kept herself
provided with food and with skins for
her clothing
For two years she lived a Robinson
Crusoe life, this gently nurtured,
highly bred girl.
At last che was rescued by some
fish ermen who ventured on the island.
half-frightened at first by what they
thought was an evil apparition.
Marguerite was sent to France, but
her uncle discovered her whereabouts
and continued to prosecute her. She
finally found a refuge in a small French
village, where she hid until the vice
roy's death. After that she came into
the world once more and lived to a
good old age.

coWARDLY TURKISH TROOPS
Many Instances of Lack Of Nerve in
Their Encounters with FL
bantam Insurgents.

| 1t is said that the Turkish soldiery Is
becoming demoralized to the point where
displays of cowardice are common.
Some extraordinary instances of this
are related by a recent traveller them
who declares that the Turkish troops
| have displayed their lack of nerve many
times in recent encounters with insur-
gents, relates the Chicago Daily News.
When actual fighting is to be done many
OF the soldiers seek seclusion in the ad-
jacent fields or escape the observation OF
their commanders by getting into
streams or ponds and immersing them
selves in water up to the neck 1t was
near Usllub that resort to this method
OF avoiding trouble was actually OBJ
served. An engineer corps had been
summoned hastily to the nearest bridge
over the Vardar, where bombs had just
been thrown, and found the guard espe-
dally placed there to protect the bridge
oonspicuously absent. 1t took the Off
GERS considerable time to find what had
become of their missing men,
Apparently the Generalization of
Turkeys fighting forces extends also
to its naval vessels. There is guard
ship at Salonika, fairly modern-look-
ing small cruiser, lying year in, year
out, peacefully at anchor in the bay
One day an order came to the command
er to take cruise, and the consterna
ton of that gallant officer was great,
because no screw steamer can move
without shaft, and that had been
sold some time ago. But he was a man
of resource, and had a shaft made Of
wood, praying that it would break with
in the first few minutes. The wooden
shaft held by some miracle, and, as the
cruiser slowly steamed out of the gulf,
the captains heart sank, for he had no
desire to go to sea with a shaft that
must break sooner or later. So he sent
below and had the shaft sawn halfway
through. A little extra steam and the
desired result was accomplished. and

Some of the Albanians whose insur-
rectionary operations have been an oc-

to the powers which are trying to COM

consist of England, Italy-and Albania"

POST OFFICE FRAUD ORDERS
How the Government Looks After Per-
sons Using the Mails for
swindling Purposes.

When business concern in the Unit
cd States begins suddenly to receive a
arge number of letters daily, 1t may be
sure that, although no ripple has dis
turbed the surface, quiet investigation
is going on, and if there is anything dis
honest about the business notice will
soon appear from the postmaster, to the
effect that the department at Washing
ton has ordered the retention of all let
tiers addressed to that man or company,
says Youths Companion.
The dishonesty which is held to JUS
tify the issuing of fraud order may not
be mere bardaced attempt to steal
an effort to get something for nothing.
The charging of an excessive profit, or
misleading advertising, has called forth
such an order. A recent case in point
is that of company which advertised to
furnish seed for an agricultural product
and to buy the product at market prices.
The order against the company was is
sued because it was learned that it sold
in smah quantities, for total of 5000,
seed which it bought in bulk for 50; and
because it represented the product as
easy to raise, when, in fact, it is diff
cult
This fearless attitude and action Of
the government is of the greatest pos
sible benefit to the country at large in
two ways. 1t checks, indeed stops abso-
lutely, one kind of fraud, and it pro-
tects innocent persons from loss through
that fraud. The thing on which stress
should be laid is the availability of this
strong arm of protection.
There is always large number of
fraudulent schemes afloat, dependent
upon the publicity which they get
through advertising. When ones at
tention is attracted by such an advertise
ment, he has only to call the attention
OF the postmaster to it, and ask him to
notify the department at Washington
To do this in every suspicious case is a
DUTY which every honest man owes to
his neighbor as we'll as to himself,

For they are days each yearning soul has

From which times coming haryests

We strain our eyes to catch CLEAN of

We cannot read the fleeing message

First the carpenters put the sign

noise of the operation early in the
morning, and reached our windows

little while, mentally debating, or at
least was, as to the probable length
OF time the hammering would continue.

white-haired and decrepit; otherwise
l am sure she would have drawn back
hastily into her room. AS it was, |

derment as to the work going on below
took words, and we discussed the mat
ter thoroughly. The immense sign
board reached from the ground up to
our windows, which were on the sec
ond floor, and when the job was COM
pleted we understood only too plainly
that the mercenary disposition of our
landlord was about to wreck the an

myself, was in no position to allow
trifies like sign-boards, loaded down
with glazing advertisements, to coerce
me into changing my quarters. An
old man with scant income, and be-
yond the power of increasing it, is not
apt to be squeamish about his living
quarters

am afraid, with compulsory forti-
