Spends Part Of a Week 10 Northern Part OF the

Families.

President Bruske has returned from
ten days trip through the upper PENN
sula in the interest of the college and re-
ports a very pleasant and profitable
time. The churches visited were Sault
Ste. Marie, Manistique, Escanaba, Me-
nominee, Marquette, Ishpeming, Calu-
met and Houghton. AT every place he
found loyal friends of Alma who were
eager to be of service to the college.
In many places he found former students
of thecollege succeeding in their various
callings and all intensely interested in
the success of Alma. On Sunday, Jan.
10 he spoke in the church at the $500"
and there received the pledge of an an
nual scholarship from the church. Dur
ing the week he visited the other
churches mentioned, closing his timer
airy with an address in the church at
Houghton on the following Sunday
At Marquette Dr. Bruske was enter
tanned in the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
c. Higbee, parents of Mrs Frank Hurst
and Theo. Higbee present student of
the college. At Ishpeming he also had
pleasant visit with Mr.. and Mrs. An
derson, the former one of Alma's former
foot ball stars. The fact is. Or. Bruske
visited so many new and old friends that
the entire Albanian could be given to the
story and then it would not be complete.
The churches of Marquette and Man.
istique followed the example of the
800" church and each pledged an an
nual scholarship. The church at Calu-
me; began movement which will prob.
ably result in all endowed scholarship in
honor of Rev. Daniel Stalker, pastor of
the church. In all other communities
visited there were promises of generous
financial aid in which the amounts were
not specified The coming year there
will be several new students from the
$500" and probably from the other local
tiles
The President is highly pleased with
the spirit of loyalty to the college as he
found it on this visit. Lake Forest and
Carol Colleges have sent their presi-
dents and agents into that territory, but
the U. p. remains loyal to her own
Michigan college.

took every possible opportunity to I'm.
press on Judge and jury that circum-
stances were nightly against John
Barrows. These old neighbors always
had been his friends and were not
really malicious, their action being
merely the result OF the well-sown
seeds OF distrust scattered by Nal
colin Thomson. John was adjudged
guilty OF murder In the first degree.
Jane Heath vowed she would move
Heaven and earth to free her lover,
and through her efforts he was grant
ed short respite by the governor of
the state, and he was to remain a
few months In jail before the execu.
ton. With renewed hope. she deter.
mined to prove his innocence and save
his life. She insisted that there was
no proof whatever that Andy Barrows
was not alive; that all the evidence
was purely circumstantial: and she SO
earnestly persisted In her theory, and
cast so much doubt on the guilt OF
John, that she finally prevailed upon
the governor to commute his sentence
to life Imprisonment.
Soon after the trial Of John Bar.
rows, Malcolm Thomson determined
to leave that neighborhood. Before do
ing 80, he called on Miss Heath and
talked to her most consolingly But
Jane was suspicious, and his professed
solicitude caused her to believe his
declarations of sympathy and friend
ship were not. genuine. His talk lacked
sincerity. Jane made up her mind to
watch him, II possible to do so. as she
believed he held the key to the mys-
terry Of Andy Barrows's disappearance.
Two years later-years In which
Jane Heath. though not inactive, had
accomplished practically nothing to-
ward the release of her lover-a young
soldier returned to northern Vermont
from the south on a furlough. From
him Jane learned that Thomson was
In New Orleans. She decided to 60 tc

Thomson was greatly afraid OF detec.

with someone who could FIX" the ru-

Hopper, who was located at Mande-

and inside the Confederate lines. Col

partner. to whom he was a stranger,
and Thomson furnished him with a

might be no trouble. in Identifying
him. Moncossus brought the photo

at once to bring Andy Barrows before
Miss Heath. and compel him to con-

A small schooner was procured and
loaded. 1t was planned to capture
Andy Barrows-Hopper. and bring him
to New Orleans. General Butler,
when consulted, said the plan was a
crazy one, but Moncossus declared he
could carry It out. 1t did seem a diff
ficult undertaking, but Moncossus was
willing and anxious to take the risk
and abide by the consequences.
When the little boat arrived at
Vaudeville It was unloaded and taken
few miles distant across a bayou
for the purpose of taking on bales OF
cotton. Hopper" was there to super
intend the delivery Of the cotton.
When the schooner was ready to sail

men, expecting to be landed at Mande.
