The Argus Daily Story
Marooned-By Willard Maltbie.
Copyright lsIl. BY AsaovaateG Literary Bureau

In Casco bay, on the coast of Maine,
there are several hundred islands The
principal business Of the natives Of the
islands is fishing.
One day some thirty years ago q
couple of fishermen setting their nets
for mackerel saw ship bearing a flag
they did not recognize cast anchor near
one of the smaller islands. Presently
q boat was lowered over the side and
pulled to the shore. There were three
men in the boat, two pulling the oars
and one sitting in the stern. Landing.
all three went into a wood growing
near the shore. where they remained
only a few minutes. Then two OF them
returned. got into the boat and rowed
back to the ship. The anchor was pull
ed up. and she sailed away.
Curious to know something more Of
the matter, the fishermen when they
had finished setting their net stopped
at the island and looked about till
they came upon man sitting on the
ground. leaning up against tree. Be-
side him were a bottle OF water and
about fifty years of age, his hair be
ing partly gray. 1t was evident that
be had been marooned on the island.
The fisherman asked him what he
was doing there. but he evidently, did
not understand the English language
for he shook his head and replied IL
another tongue. They pointed to the
mainland and asked him If he did moi
wish to go with them, but to this be
also shook his head. 1t was some time
before they could make up their minds
to leave him there. and before they die
gave him some matches and fish. alsC
some old blankets they had stored II

This incident occurred. as I hav,
said. about thirty years ago. The ma

81 suppose municipal markets are
all right to a certain extent" sighed
the grocer's wife, but if everything
is going to be municipal markets,
where do we small tradespeople
make our living?
"It is all very well to say that
something must be done to bring
down the high cost of living. l
agree with that. But does 1t strike
anybody that the high cost of liv-
ing hits the small tradesman just as
hard as il does his customers?
People have to make a living.
That's ell most of US grocers are
doing. A lot of our customers come

and I tell you it's a pinch to dress

Suppose we had all municipal
markets. Wouldn't it put a lot OF
honest people out of the way of max

THE ONE-RING CIRCUS.

There are not many circuses now
Rdays. and we do not have half 50
much fun in that direction as We
used TO. The great circus trust has
knocked out OF existence the little
one-ring circuses of the olden time in
which there was more fun than
there is in the three or Touring cir
cuses of the present day. 1t was a
great thing when the old one-ring
when the acts we're scattered so far
apart that the clown would have a
chance between them to sing his
humorous songs and dispense his
funny jokes and stories. A fellow
could go TO the circus in those days
and see the performance all the way
through. He had a chance to OBJ
serve the beauties and skill OF the
female rider and the cleverness and
ability of the gymnasts. The clown
was a gentleman OF cleverness and OF
learning.
Nowadays the person that goes tC
