Tho white mau who blew luto thu section had tn BODIC way gained a Bindiar reputation. Ho waa Bald to be a dangerous character and a mun who had never heeu whipped. We concluded that wo would have some fun. We met the Indian and told him a lons story about his new rival and reminded him that his laurels were in danger and succeeded In getting his pride stirred, und his Indian blood was Booti up to the fighting point. Soou after this wc met thc white mun, and wc Oiled him up with thc same kind of talk. He said he would take cure of thc indian all right in due time, und, lu short, would make him take to tho. woods. Shortly wc mot thc Indian again and told him thc desperate white man was after his scalp. He smiled and shook his head. "A few days later we were talking to the white mau when the Indian came hp to jolu thc group. Ho had ?potted thc Btrangcr and knew him by light. Without suylug a word to him he walked up within arin's reach and struck thc while man In thc face with a rough, heavy glove. Ho paused for a few seconds und hit him again. 'Ugh!' ho exclaimed ns tic wheeled around and wulked away. Thc white man looked ut thc Indian In ntnnzomcnt, hut made DO show of resentment. Later la thc day when wc asked thc 'Indian why it was that he did not follow up thc insult with blows he told us thc white man was a coward.

It would bc almost impossible to cnu, mernie tho names of islands along the const of Maine. They cover almost ev ery article of household usc, na well M gear pertaining to vessels. The nul luni kingdom figures conspicuously as well as his Satanic Majesty. Just how thc names'were derived no one Beems to be able to determine. Some were onmcd for early Inhabitants squatting thereon and getting u living from the sea, others from incidents that have taken place to sailors and fishermen who have been their visitors. Rutherford's island wns named from thc first minister who established a parish in Bristol, and owing to his sal ary, which was In arrears, tho town gavo him a title to the entire Island. Heron Island was up to recent years the borne of a vast number of these birds, which came annually and made their nests lu tho top of the tall pines and spruces which lined the shores. Ram Island wns once tho home of a fighting buck which disputed the right of any one to land there. Fisbhawk lBlaud wus once thc favorito resting place of theso keen eyed foragers of the sea. DOVH'B I,,imb, Devil's Rock and Dev il's Elbow represent the head fireman of the lower regionB. Hog island was once inhabited by a thrifty number of these domestic adjuncts, which ran wild and lived on the snakes and mice, which were plentiful. Mouse island was once Infested by these rodents, as are most of the other islands. They aro a wood species and do not trouble hu man habitations. Just where they came from no ono knows. They are found on islands fur out from tho shore. Squirrel Island was once the home of a large colony of gray squirrels which came down to thc seashore every seven years from tho inland woods. Red squirrels arc found on most of tho is lands and are not desirable residents, for they ^efcr to nest in unoccupied cottages. Haddock island was so named from this useful little fish, which arc caught ia large quantities about its shores. Old Man cud Old Woman were named by the fishermen from a supposed re scmblauce, Harpoon iBland from this Implement, which was dug out of tho sand there; Killtckstoue island becanso lt contained these stones for thc fisher men's use, Hungry Island because of its barren condition. Gull island ls the home of this sea bird, nod its eggs, which abound there, were orton gath ered for eating purposes until Uncle Sam put a stop to it; High island for its wooded head ?thnt looks out over the surrounding country; Cow island was once used as a pasture, and the animals were transferred in scows; Thief Island from a culprit who was captured there.
