"Freckles", the picture to be
shown in the d. B. S. hall Fri
day evening. May 5. is based on
Gene Stratton-Porter's story of
the same title. The principal
characters are Freckles. a plucky
waif who guards the Limberlost
timber leases; the Swamp Angel,
in whom Freckles' sweetest
dream materializes; Mclean. a
member of Grand Rapids lum-
Der company, who befriends
Freckles; Mrs. Duncan, who
gives mother-love and home to
Freckles; the Bird Woman, who
is collecting camera studies of
birds for a book; Lord and Lady
OMore, who come from Ireland
in search of a lost relative; the
Man of Affairs; Wessner, a
Dutch timber thief who wants
rascality made easy; Black Jack,
a villain to whom thought of
repentance comes too late; Sears,
the camp cook. The scene of the
story is laid in the timber lands
of Michigan. One-armed Freckles
who has no other name but is
given the name of James Ross
Mclean. becomes guard of the
Limberlost and though he meets
many difficulties and often en-
dangers his life, he serves the
lumber company faithfully. The
dangers of wild nature do not
daunt him nor does he fear the
free hand of the timber thief.
He fOils the thieves in their at
tempts to steal valuable trees.
The Bird Woman meets Freckles
on one of her expeditions into
the woods: later he often helps
her in her studies. The Angel

panying the Bird Woman be-
comes interested i'm him. After
