Haskell island O. Outer Heron or
farther east on Isle au Haut. are
peculiar characters who shut them
selves of from communication with
their fellows, live their own strange
lives and avoid intercourse with any
but their own people When sum-

ashore the children scutter for cover
like a covey of quail and it is almost
impossible to get into intelligent
communication with any excepting

Utterly Ignorant.
Some of these people do not visit
the mainland for 20 years at a time
They have no daily papers, seldom
even a weekly; they are utterly igno-
rant OF what goes on in the outside
world. and a single visit to the main
land affords them sufficient material
for conversation for dozen years.
On Outer Heron island is Uncle
Jerry Madison. who never visited the
mainland till he was past seventy
years old The electric cars. railroad
trains. automobiles. electric light. tele-
phones, all the things that have be.

since he was born, he saw for the

experience was enough for him and
he went back to his island home con-

surroundings.

years and took up his abode on the
