tion was made by the Colorado Mort

State Normal school board.
The request of Max Deubach and
Others for the opening of Fourth
street from Sixth to Eighth avenues
was referred to the street committee
William Mayher, representing the
Greeley Power & Light company, was

The CANTATA RUTH
Good Music, Good Audience and
Good Everything.

To train large chorus for oratorio
or similar work is task OF large pro-
portions even with professional sing
ers. Tc take a chorus composed of
practically raw material and In the
course OF few weeks so prepare the
singers that they can give sacred
cantata well enough that the audi
ence at times can forget that it is an
amateur organizat tion that Is being
heard, is remarkable. This was what
Mrs Nelson Demorest did with the
choir of the Congregational church
assisted by singers from other choirs.
The cantata Ruth" was given in
the Congregational church Tuesday
evening to an appreciative audience.
The frst part Of the piece was rather
spiri:less, owing largely to the tim
idity that even force Of numbers
cannot overcome In an amateur
chorus when 1t first appears before an
audience for the final test. AS this
feeling wore away, the quality OF
music increased until in the wedding
chorus ii arose almost to grandeur
The soloists were MIS- Grace Wad-
dington, soprano; Mrs. F. NJ. Shell
don and Miss Ruth Baker, contraltOs:
Rea Couzens, baritone. All are well
known to Greeley audiences and when
at their best, as they were upon this
occasion. always give pleasure to
their listeners.

let her see herself as she was.
She gave a hysterical laugh and,
throwing up her hands with her accus-
toned little gesture. fell upon the bed
in utter abandonment, shaking as with
a spasm. She did not weep; she could
not; she was past that now. Jane went
over to the bed and tried to soothe her.
In a moment Mary sprang to her feet,
exclaiming: Master Brandon con-
demned to death, and you and I here
talking and moaning and weeping!
Come, come; we will go to the king at

been placed on its hinges again, but
the bed was tumbled as Mary had left
It, and the room was In great disorder.
"Oh, Sir Edwin" began Mary, who
was weeping, "was ever woman IN

I began to soften at the sight Of her

The princess was trying to check her

thread of her unfinished sentence:

IAl don 7 had intended to 60
Essd down to Windsor and give
S&Ssl vent to my indignation to-
ward tie girls. but the more thought
about 1t the surer l felt there had
somehow been q mistake. | could not
bring myself to believe that Mary had
deliberately permitted matters to go
to such all extreme when 1t was in her
power to prevent it. She might have
neglected her duty for day or two.
but sooner or later her good impulses
always came to her rescue. and with
Jane by her side to urge her on was
almost sure she would have liberated
Brandon long ago. barring blunder OF
some sort.
So l did not go to Windsor until a
week after Brandon's release. when
the king asked me to 90 down witn
him. Wolsey and De Longueville. the
French ambassador special. for the
purpose of officially offering to Mary
the hs nd of Louis XII. and the honor
Of becoming queen Of France.
The princess had known OF the pro-
jected arrangement for many weeks,
but had no thought Of the present for
ward condition Of affairs or she would
have brought her energies to bear upon
Henry long before. She could not
bring herself to believe that her broth
or would really force her into such
wretchedness. and possibly he would
never have done so. much as he de-
sired 1t from the standpoint Of personal
ambition. had it not been for the petty
excuse of that fatal trip to Grouche's.
All the circumstances Of the case
were such as 10 make Mary's marriage
q veritahl virgin sacrifice. Louis was
an old man. and all old Frenchman at
that. full Of French notions Of morali-
ty and immortality. and, besides. there
were objections that cannot be writ
ten. but of which Henry and Mary had
been fully informed. She might as we'll
marry leper. Do you wonder she was
full Of dread and fear and resisted with
the desperation Of death?
So Mary. the person most interested,
was about the last to learn that the
treaty had been signed.
Windsor was nearly eight leagues
from London and at that time was oc-
cupied only by the girls and a few old
ladips and servants. so that news did
Tot travel fast in that direction from
the city. 1t Is also probable that. even
il the report of the treaty and Bran
don's release had reached Windsor. the
persons hearing 1t would have hesitat-
j to repeat it to Mary. However that
may be. she had no knowledge OF either
until she was Informed Of the fact that
the king and the French ambassador
would be at Windsor on certain day
to make the formal request for her
hand and to offer the gifts Of King
Louis.

pulse was to beat hasty retreat back
into her citadel, the bed, but In truth
she had In her makeup very little dis
position to retreat. She was clear grit.
What a man she would have made!
But what q crime 1t would have been
In nature to have spoiled 80 perfect
woman. How beautiful she was! She
threw one quick, surprised glance at
her brother and his companions and,
lifting up her exquisite head, careless
" hummed a little tune under her
breath as she marched to the other end
Of the room with gait that Juno her
self could not have improved upon.
I saw the king smile, half in pride Of
her and half in amusement, and the
Frenchman's little eyes feasted upon
her beauty with relish that could not
be mistaken.
Henry and the ambassador spoke q
word in whispers when the latter took
box from a huge side pocket and
started across the room toward Mary
with the king at his heels.
Her side was toward them when they
came up, but she kept her attitude as
II she had been of bronze. She had
taken up q book that was lying on the
table and was examining it as they
approached
De I.ongueville held the box In his
hand, and, bowling and scraping, said
In broken English, Permit to me, most
gracious princess, that may have the
hon " to offer on behalf Of my august
master this little testament Of his high
admiration and love-" With this he
bowed again, smiled like crack in q
piece of old parchment and held his
box toward Mary. 1t was open, prob
ably in the hope Of enticing her with
q sight Of its contents-a beautiful dia-
mond necklace.
She turned her face ever 80 little and
took it all in with one contemptuous,
sneering glance out Of the corners Of
her eyes. Then, quietly reaching out
her hand. she grasped the necklace and
deliberately dashed it in poor old De
Longueville's face.
"There is my answer, sir! Go home
and tell your imbecile old master I
scorn his suit and hate him-hate him
hate him. Then, with the tears fall

There is a limit to the best of femi.

always be found a food Of, healthful
tears. Mary had reached 1t when she
threw the necklace and shot her bolt
at Wolsey, so she broke down and has
tily left the room.
The king of course was beside him

girls, and after a short time page
plucked me by the sleeve, saying the
princess wished to see me.

With this tue king wheeled about
and started west toward Guildhall.
To the lord mayor we accordingly
went without further delay. He was
only too glad to liberate Brandon when
he heard my story, which the king mad
ordered me to repeat. The only hesi-
fancy was from a doubt Of its truth.
The lord mayor was kind enough to

word, but that friendship would often
drive u man to any extremity, even
falsehood. to save friend.
Then offered to 60 into custody my
self and pay the penalty. death, for
helping a convicted felon to escape II l
told not the truth, to be confirmed or
denied by the princess and her first
lady in waiting. I knew Jane and was
willing to risk her truthfulness with
out a doubt-it was 80 pronounced as
to be troublesome at times-and as to
Mary-well, l had not doubt OF her
either. If she would but stop to think
out the right, she was sure to do 1t.
MY offer was satisfactory, for what
more can q man do than pledge his life
for his friend? We have Scripture for
that, or something like 1t.
The lord mayor did not require my
proffered pledge, but readily consented
that the king should write an order for
Brandon's pardon and release. This
was done at once, and we-that 1s, l,

his four yeomen. fastened to NeWgate'
while Henry went over to Wolsey's to
settle Mary's fate.
Brandon was brought up, with chains
and manacles at his ankles and wrists.
When he entered the room and saw
me. he exclaimed: "Ah, Caskoden. ts
that you? / thought they had brought
me up to hang me. and was glad for
the change. But suppose you would
not come to help at that, even II you

I could not restrain the tears at sight
Of him.
"Your words are more than just" l
said, and, being anxious that he should
know at once that my fault had not
been so great as it looked, continued
hurriedly: 1.-The king sent me to France
