One is sometimes tempted to parody

fact that. apart from u haZy notion
that the original of this world famous
character was drawn from one Alex
ander Selkirk. little or nothing Is
known of a most extraordinary man.
London Answers states.
Selkirk was born in the little Fife
shire village of Largo. in 1876. and
from almost his earliest days the UNI
conventional adventurous spirit of the
boy brought forth the wrath Of his
%neighbors.
When he was about eighteen he de-
cided that he would 30 to sea and, hav-
ing refused utterly to follow his ia

his native village. Two years later
we find him lat his own request) be-
ing marooned on a lonely island after
a violent quarrel with the captain OF
the ship on which he was making his
second voyage.
For four years and four months he
remained there, but finally turned up
again at Largo, while his parents were
at church. So to church went Alexan-
der, and seated himself directly be-
hind his father and mother. The good
lady, on turning round and recogniz-
ing her son, caused the service to be
Interrupted by her cries of astonlsh-
ment.
While at home. Seikirk fell In love
with and married Sophie bruce. But
he did not settle down. After a very
snort while they both disappeared
from Largo.
Nothing more was heard of them un'
til one day, years later, a young WON
an arrived in Largo. saying she was

had come to claim his belongings,
She proved that Sophie bruce had
died some years previously and that
now Alexander himself had also
passed away on board his majesty's
ship Weymouth. on which he a a
