Who has not read Treasure Island?
Who, having revealed IN its adventu-
rous thrills, will ever forget it? Mr..
Brady has done bold thing in writ
ing a story that reminds one Of Steven
sons spirited narrative on almost every
page. He has elaborated the theme,
which was old, Of course, when the
Scotchman took 1t up TO adorn 1t for
years untold TO come. And, no small
achievement, he has made q mighty
young woman into this grim mems
work OF sailing the seas with a MUIR
derous crew. OF lighting mutiny and
defeating It, Of sailing homo short
handed with the treasure under
matches. And the woman decidedly
adds to the interest, for with her there
comes into the narrative that other old
motive, two on an Island. And there
are war canoes and sayages coming
across the waters, a Ia Robinson Cru

giant stairs, and the giant statues OF
abhorrent deities, and the sacrificial
stone of Aztec origin there in the
midst OF the wastes Of the South Sea.

is as simple as IL is vivid. Here Is the
true spirit OF noble sport which,
originating in the Alps and chiefly
among Englishmen, has during the last

trophies the world over, from the

approach of the mountain from the in

part in defeating Mr.. Browne within
sight of his goal, favored the con-
aueror. Indeed. once the proper APP
proach had been found, and with the
exception OF the Northwest Ridge.
