ping the Scotchman, on suspicion that
he was an enemy of the government,
had unintentionally become of para
mount Importance Steps were taken
at once to bring Andy Barrows before
Miss Heath, and compel him to con-
fess his part in the miserable scheme
to spoil the lives of his brother and
his brothers sweetheart.
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 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
a 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
he came on board, with two other
men, expecting to be landed at Mande-
Vile as the schooner passed on it's
way to New Orleans. The wind was
blowing heavily that day, dead ahead
when the boat pointed toward Mande-
Vile. but we'll in favor when she was
headed across the bay toward New
Orleans.
Hopper's two assistants were perch
ed upon a cotton bale with their legs
hanging over the windward rail at
the moment Colonel Moncossus put
the helm down hard and let go the
main sheet The boom swung over
with great force, the boat gave sud-
den lurch, and the two men sitting
on the cotton bale were knocked into
the lake.
"Heave her to- shouted Hopper, at
the same time drawing his revolver.
The next instant he was lying on the
deck. A bullet had pierced his side
from the forward part of the schooner,
which now was headed directly for
New Orleans before ten or twelve
knot breeze. When the schooner ar
rived and was hauled up out of the
lake into the new basin; | was await
ing it's arrival and went aboard. a
surgeon had been sent for to care for
Hopper, but had not arrived. Hopper

He had played martial airs all through
the fight and the name was changed
to Trask rock in commemoration of
his bravery. Trask at the time of the
war was a boy of eighteen, and long
after the war he visited the site of
the rock and the battle and told the
story. 1t is said that more han 100
lives were lost on the American side
in that fight out of about 400 engaged.
In the year 1928 the Dyce's Head
lighthouse was built on the north side
of the entrance to the harbor, being
named after the first settler in that
part of the town. 1t was originally
built of wood and was very sbabbily
constructed 1t became so much in
need of repairs and so unsafe that in
1858 it was torn down and another
one built in it's place. The head was
properly named for John Jacob Dyce,
who owned it in 1775.

Troops and Is Named for a

of 1912.

Portland, Me.-Popular as sum-

esting bits Of historical notes, border

little town of Castine, Me. 1t was
once surrounded by water, by reason
of the trenches dug by the British
while the territory was in their hanos
in 1912, but it is now part OF the
mainland.
The town has relics and historical
bits of interest, forts Of French, BTU
ish and American build, and an OLD
blockhouse, all of which interest the
historian. One of the most interest
ing of these old sites is "TrasK rock,
once called "Hinckley's rock" 1t is
situated on the western shore. IL was
the landing place of the Americans
at the time of the Penobscot expedl-

secure possession of the island
Trask rock is of peculiar white
ness. It is large and snowy, made
conspicuous by background or DoWl-
ders and a precipice. 1t is situated
about halfway between the point
where the blockhouse was located dur
ing the war, and the present site Oh
the lighthouse on Dyce's Head. Thls
side of the island being weakly pro-
tected in 1872, the Americans were
enabled to make a successful landing.
The landing took place on the night
of July %. The weather was damp,
and a slight swell tossed the vessels
as they moored along the coastline
Just beyond the reach of the British
musketry on shore. About three
o'clock in the morning preparations
were made for a landing. In the
screen of low-hanging fog about, 4OO
marines and militia landed on and
near the Trask rock.
A section of the landing force was
under command of Captain H1nckley,
who, landing on the Trask rock as the
British opened fire, urged his men on

the rush by shot fired from force
of the enemy on the rock which long
bore his name. AS "Hinckley rock"

Ellen Terry,s Joke.

When Ellen Terry was presented
with Founders gold medal at the
New theater, New York, recently-an
honor conferred in recognition of her
great services to dramatic art-she
was called upon to make a speech OF
acceptance. 1t SO happened that the
actress was exceedingly hoarse and
she was therefore forced to cut her
remarks short So she told this story:
"a friend of mine once bought a par
rot and gave much money for it with
the understanding that it could speak
fluently, but when, he reached home
with it he found to his dismay that
the bird was dumb. So he took it
back. This parrot cannot say word,
he said Indignantly to the bird fancier,
1T can't talk at ALL Talk the deal
er exclaimed Come to think of 1t,
know it can't, but it's, a devil ia
think"

youth was in reality refined young
woman.
Not long after this Miss Heath re-
ported to me that she had discovered
Malcolm Thomson, and was sure he
was engaged in some kind of crooked
business. l sent skilled man to the
neighborhood where Thomson was liv-
ing, to cultivate that gentlemans
acquaintance. Soon he discovered
that Thomson was carrying on a thri-
wing business smuggling goods across
Lake Pontchartrain into the Confed-
eracy. Also it was found out that
Thomson was greatly afraid Of detec-
ton by the federal authorities. Like
all crooks he deemed everyone else
crooked, and was seeking an alliance
with someone who could Elk" the ru-
ling powers. This timidity led him
to take into his confidence the detect
i've in my employ, Colonel Moncos-
sus.
Moncossus easily arranged part
nership with Thomson, after convin-
cling him of -Moncossus' s-great
influence with the federal authorities
and his ability to obtain the necessary
permits for taking out goods and
bringing in cotton. Thomson was to
furnish the money, while Moncossus
was to take charge Of the little
schooner employed, and manage the
authorities. There also was third
partner in the scheme, man named
Hopper, who was located at Mande-
vile, just across Lake Pontchartrain
and inside the Confederate lines. Col
onel Moncossus wished to meet this
partner, to whom he was a stranger,
and Thomson furnished him with a
photograph of the man, that there
might be no trouble in identifying
him. Moncossus brought the photo
graph to me, and left it on my desk
without thinking much about it. Miss
Heath, happening in soon after, saw
the photograph and recognized it as a
picture of Andy Barrows. The myth

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 a short respite by the governor OF
the state, and he was to remain
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 so, he called on Miss Heath and
talked to her most consolingly. But
Jane was suspicious, and his protested
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, if 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 furlough. From
him Jane learned that Thomson was
In New Orleans. She decided to go tC

but to accomplish his freedom. Travel

CHILDREN AFFECTED

ing me harm. For years had been
troubled with dizziness, spots before
my eyes and pain in my heart, to
which was added, two years later,
chronic sour stomach.
"The baby was born months ago,
and almost from the beginning, it, too,
suffered from sour stomach. She was
taking it from me!
'Tn my distress consulted friend
of more experience and she told me
to quit coffee, that coffee did not
make good milk. I have since ascer-
tanned that it really dries up the milk.

with me. Then l turned to Postum
with the happiest results. 1t proved
to be the very thing needed. 1t not

myself, but it increased the flow OF
my milk.
