? A Man Lived For
t
Years Aiont on
an Island
By MILLARD MALTBIE |
In Casco buy. on the roast of Maine,
there are several hundred island*. The
principal business of the natives of the
islands In fishing. s
One day some thirty years ago a
couple of fishermen setting 'their nets
for mackerel saw a ship bearing a flag |
they d?<1 not recognise cast anchor near
one of I Ite smaller islands. Presently
a boat was lowered oxer the side aod
pulled to the shore. There were three
n?en In the liuat. two pulling the orirs
and one slttlf* In the s!ern. I .iiMiit.ft.
all three went Into uriwd growing
near the shore, wliev they remained
only a few minutes Tl.? :? two d theut
returned, got Into th ? tswt nttd rawed
hack to the uhlp The am !i<?r was pull
ed up. and she sjiiln nwuj
Curious to know sor '(thing more of
the matter, tlx- fishermen v hnt they
had finished setting th fir net stopped j
at the Island and lon';ed alsmt till 1
they came ui>on a man sitting "n the
p round. leaning np against a tree. Be
side him we?t? a bottle of water and
some ship's biscuit He seemed to be
about fifty years of aire, his hair be
ing partly gray. It was evident that
he had been nmrooned on the Island.
The fisherman asked him what he
was doing there, but he evidently did
not understand the rngllsh Inntnnge.
for he shook his head and replied In
another tongue They |x>inted to the
mainland and asked him If he did not
wish to go with them, but to this he
also shook his head It was some time
Itefore they could make up their minds
to lca\c him there, and Iwforr they did
gave him some matches and a fish, also
some o d blankets thej had stored 1n I
their boat.
This Incident occurred, as I have
said, about thirty years ago The ma
rooned man built himself n hut on the
island. In which he lived from that

et! from. He did not even (rive his
name. Indeed, his lips wore sealed as
to everything concerning Ms previous
| history tie was known ns the ma
: rooned m;iu of Rat-?ed Island. He
j made a boat for himself out of piece*
| of scant line and planks that drifted on
l to the island and earned a living by
| catching lobsters ?wi selling them,
j Finally he died, and some persons J
j went over from the mainland to bury i
i him. They found his secret, or the
I main events pertaining to It. he having
written it down during the last few
weel>s of his life when he felt that his
days were numt>ered From this rec
ord the story that made him a maroon
ed man has !>cen const rncted.
One day a lady stepped Into n little
shop win-re flowers were sold in St
i Petersburg and asked for some roses.
! A young girl stood behind the counter
| and brought out the flowers The lady
| was one of the friendly kind and talk
i ed kindly with the little flower girl. ask
!ing her her name and If she had any
father or mother, and so on. The girl
I told her name, which was Lisa? that
her mother was dead and that her fa
ther owned the shop, bnt she attended
I to the business, since her father was
seldom there. The lady a?ked some
questions about the father? Paul Me
, mvich was his name- if h?? had any
other business and what took him so
| much away from home. Lisa could not
j answer this last question, nor did she
know whether her father engaged In
| any other bnslness.
The lady appenred so friendly that
Lisa told her all about herself and the
flower business. \o such kindly per
j aon had ever before come to the shop,
and Lisa was anxious to kno^ who she
was The customer hesitated for a
: moment, then gave her name as Mine.
Burorich and volunteered the Informa
tion that *he nils on intimate terms
with many of the nobte families of the
eapltal. especially of General ScholofT.
a prominent official of ihe government
Mme. Hnrovich Insisted upon pay
ing more for 1>e flowers thnn Lisa ssk
; *<1 giving as a reason thnt the poor girl
needed (he money. Stace no on? h?<l

the told lilm a grout deal about ber lib.
eral customer and the Interest abe
took lei the business and th? family,
only omlttlnir to repeat the question*
the lady ha? asked about Merorlcb
himself, for Usa knew that ber fatber
was very reticent ubout himself and
bad of'.en cautioned her not to talk
i about Mm or what he did or bow be
spent his time, to others. She would
not have giten any one else the Infor
mation she had Imparted. Her ena
lomer was so kindly, ao sympathetic,
that she could not refrain from do
! Imt so.
When I .Ian told her father that Mme.
Burorlcib wna Intimate with the fam
ily of General Scholoff she noticed a
changed expression came over bta face.
Hut he laid nothing and ahe went on
talking ibont her lovely viaitor. Her
father ippcnred desirous to learn all
about what had passed between the
two women, but being himself a close
mouthed man. he ?|Mike mi more than
was necessary. So long aa art? waa
willing t<> talk he waa ready to listen.
After lhat Mme. Bintleh came of
ten to the shop, always buying flower*
I and always paying more than the price
asked for them. One day when ahe
came I.lsa had gone out for something
and on her return found the lady In
the living rooms back of the shop.
She told I .Isa that she preferred to make
herself comfortable while ahe waited
When I.liia mentioned this to her fa
ther he traa dlsplensed and told I.lsa
not to go r>ut any more without locking
the shop tloor.
Mme. riurovlch spoke often of the
family of (Jencral Scholoff. to whom
she seern'?d mnch attached. Indeed,
she sometimes told I.lsa when ahe
bought flowers that they were Intended
for Mme. Scholoff or some other mem
be of the family. I.lsa told all these
things to ber father, who seemed much
interested In the matter, though he
never commented on It. But one day
he surprise! I.Isn by proposing lhat ahe
take a handsome bunch of flowers to
Mme. Sebokrff l.Isa waa delighted at
the idea s|n?-e It would enable ber to
show Indirectly her appreciation of
Mme. Burorlch's kindness. She would
say nothing to her friend about the
mutter, fearing that she would not per.
mlt her to give away her flowers. In
this ber fhther heartily agreed with
I her
Lisa wished to put this scheme tn
operation at once. t>nt her father told
her to wait and he would secure some
choice flowers that were very rare at
that season. So Usn waited, and one
day her father brought her an etwf
mon* liouqilet. which he suggested be
placed In the center of the floral offer
ing. Lisa rlapped her hnnds In de
light. Her I'ather placed the flowers In
position Just before Lisn stnrted to go
to the house of the general awl Mid
her that If Mme. Scholoff was not at
home she hnd better leave It for her
In her busHind's care.
While Lisa carried the flower a on
the street she detected a singular odor,
as of something horning, but It did
not occnr to her that It eame from
the bonqnet. When she reached the
general's house she asked f<w Mme
Scholoff. but was told she was not at
1 home. Then she asked If she might
leave a gift for her with the general.
The servant went In to report th<? mat
ter and returned to tell Lisa to go Into
the general's office.
C.enernl Scholoff looked at Msa an*
picionsly. She was telling him what
she had to sfl^ when he began to sniff
the air, then snatched the bouquet and
held It under his nose Tearing the bon
quet apart, he seised a string, on the
end of which was a spark. Squeeilng
tho spark between hia thumb and An
gers till he !>ad extinguished It be
took from within the bouquet a glass
globe about the sire of a walnnt. This
he put in a tlnss t?f wa'tr. then called
nn attendant, telling him to seine IJnn
Among th?sp who answered a hasty
summons was Mine. Bnrovich. She
?a!d no word to Lisa. but was Imme
dintely closet**! with the peuenfV A
police force was dispatched to the
flower shop, with order* to arrest
rani Merovich. but he was not there. .
Lisa was held a prisoner, though
| Mme. BurovlcKi was sure she bad had
nothing to do with the attempted as
I sassir.atjon except as her father's tool.
Merovich was under suspicion of being
a revolutionist, nnd Lisa's friendly cus
tomer was a police spy who had been
I deputed to discover the truth of this
matter and trap him If possible. The
trap was sprung, on the other aide, by
Merovich, but was nipped In the bud
by his Intended victim.
The government gave out that Lisa
was to be sent 'to Siberia. This brought
the voluntary surrender of Merovich.
Lisn. though inmx-ent. begged to Iw al
lowed to suffer In his stead. This was.
of course, not ip-anted. but great aym
pathy was felt by Mme. ScbolofT, ?nd
especially by Lisa's snpposed customer,
and the govern roent at the time had
political reasons for not sending Paul
Merovich to Siberia or executing him.
Merovich proposed that If they would
l?ave his daughter unpunished they
could do what they liked with him
He would agree, If they banished him.
never to return to Russia.
It was finally stipulated that he was
to be sent to a desert Island. 80 long
as he never appeared anywhere else
his daughter should go unpunished. If
he left his island she would be sent to
Siberia, which her father knew was a
worse fate than death.
