tons against left-handed candidates
for the army has been removed. In
preparing recently to make a nomina-
ton for West Point a congressman
asked the department if the fact that
his nominee was left-handed would
operate as a bar to his admission to
West Point.
AS the question never before had
been raised, the surgeon general of
the army was asked for an opinion on
the subject. That official reported
that a left-handed cadet may not prop
erly be considered as physically dis.
qualified.
1t is considered as certain that
there have been cadets at West Point
who were left-handed, but this fact
seems never to have occasioned com.
ment. They probably acquired the
use of the right hand, so essential to
the uniformity Of movement necessary
in military organization.

Moncossus for the purpose OF entrap-
ping the Scotchman, on suspicion that
he was an enemy of the government,
had Internationally 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
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
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
a few miles distant across 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-
willie as the schooner passed on its
wav to New Orleans. The wind was
blowing heavily that day, dead ahead
when the boat pointed toward Mande-
willie 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
banging 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.
"Heaye 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
Lnot breeze. When the schooner ar
rived and was hauled up out Of the
lake into the new basin, was await
ing its arrival and went aboard. A
surgeon had been sent for to care for
Hopper. but had not arrived. Hopper

scarcely realize that the handsome
youth was in reality a 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. sent a skilled man to the
neighborhood where Thomson was liv-
ing, to cultivate that gentleman's
acquaintance. Soon he discovered
that Thomson was carrying on a thru
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 a part
nership with Thomson, after convin-
cling him of his-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, a 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 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 l 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 adtudged
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 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 Barrowss 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 IT,
that city, making the long journey as
did Evangeline-nnt to find her lover,
but to accomplish his freedom. Travel

more than these, in her quiet dignity

my request she gave me the letter ad-
dressed to General Butler, and l took
it straight to him. He glanced at it
and handed it back to me, directing
me to ascertain what the young wo-
man wanted and report Immediately
to him. The letter introduced the
bearer, approved her mission. and re-
quested that all possible courtesies be
shown her. She was seeking a permit
