FLEET COLLEGIlNSIN RELAYS

PHILADELPHIA. April 29.-The
eyes of the college world are turned to-
wards Franklin Field today. Upon the
famous arena of the University of
pennsylvania, the pick and flower Of
American college athletes will strive
with every effort to win glory and
fame and the plaudits of the multi
tude. The occasion is the eleventh an
nual intercollegiate and interscholas-
tic relay contests under the auspices
or the athletic department of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania Never before
IN the history of college athletics has
an event Of greater Importance been
held in which keener pitch of en-
thusiasm has been aroused.
The entries reach the enormous to-
tai of more than 1000 men. The big
eastern colleges such as Yale, Harvard,
Columbia. Princeton. Pennsylvania,
Georgetown and Cornell are we'll rep
resented, while the smaller institutions
that have entered number several
score. From the west have come the
crack teams Of the Universities of Chi
cago, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan
and Purdue.
The most sensational fights are look
ed for this year in the one and two
mile races. The one mile event brings
together the famous quartettes from
Yale, Pennsylvania, Harvard. George
town and Cornell with Yale and Penn
sylvania ruling favorites. Another ex-
citing race is looked for in the two
mile event In this Yale and Pennsyl-
vania are again the principal entries,
though the fast team from the Uni
versity of Wisconsin makes the issue
doubtful one.
In the special events a good race is
expected in the 100 yard, which will
bring together Shick of Harvard, Seitz
the new Georgetown flyer, Dear of
Pennsylvania, Torrey of Yale, and Ru-
lon Miller of Princeton.
In the other special events chief in
terest centers in the shotput. This
will bring together for the fourth time
the two foremost shotputters among
college athletes, w. w. Coe Of Somer-
ville and Ralph Rose, the California
giant.

would be glad of my bed as soon as
may be-"
Where are you off to-" asked the
earl indifferently, gazing anxiousIy
down the road for sight of his fol-
lower, who was not yet visible.
Armstrong replied with equal non
chalance, "Oh, I'm just away for Ok
ford to carry a message from Lord
Traquair to the king of England"
WHAT cried his lordship, nearly
starting from his saddle in amaze
ment.
Surely my talk before these cuddies
did not mislead you. I'll take your
message through and bring you back
an answer, If the things possible, but
1 cannot have those fools pottering and
whispering In the matter. They must
know nothing Of my going. You will
meet them two days hence, accept

Indeed, and that they will not be-

no papers with me. If you let me read
them I'll remember every word though
they be as long as the Psalms. I'll
repeat them to the king with as few
slips as any man in the realm. If you
have a password or sign, or If you
can tell me some incident that only
you and the king know Of, which will
assure him that am from you, every
thing else will be plain plodding. Itwould
be folly for me now that Cromwell's
spy is on the gallop to carry line Of
writing that bears relation to politics.
I'll be arrested before I'm mile be-
yond the border, SO my chance Of get
ting through will depend on the search
they make. If they find nothing it Is
likely they'll let me 60, and must
manage to get back as best 1 can.

But I've known you to clinch with
quite as dangerous task before"
"It's not the danger, TraQuair, as
much as the folly that holds me back.
I've been in many a foolish scramble
before now, as you have limited, but l
learn wisdom with age"
"Will nothing change your decisionT p
"Nothing-nothing in the world; not
anything even you can say, my lord.

but, once broken, the wisest man in the

a deep sigh. Then, turning to the 9TH

no more to be said. We must convene

The company left the inn together,
and in the middle Of the road, before
the house, they found Angus, with a

group Of men drew near. Traquair ex.
tended a cordial invitation to all or any
to spend the night at the castle, which
was the nearest house, but the Others
did not accept. Each man got upon
his horse, and some went one direction
and some another.

ly obeying the injunction about the
torch. He then tossed the bowling hui
man mass in front of his saddle, sprang
into his seat and went down the road
after the two who preceded him, the
flames from the burning bothy already
throwing long shadows ahead.
The Earl of Traquair, chagrined at
the temporary defeat Of his plans, in
wardly cursing the stupidity of those
with whom he was compelled to act,
rode moody and silent, and this re-

no attempt to interrupt until they had

king against riot and rebels?"
Eye see, Traquair, I'm not just fac

''The crisis is this, William" said
Traquair. "There are papers that we
must get through to King Charles at
Oxford. Then, what is much more I'M
portant, we must get his signed war
rant back to us before we can act to
any real purpose in this ploy. The
victorious rebels pretend that they are
fighting for certain so called liberties,
but we have reason to know that their
designs run much deeper, that they
aim at nothing less than the dethrone-
ment and possible murder OF the king.
It is necessary to get proof OF this to
the king and to obtain his sanction to
certain action on our part, for II we
move without his written commission
and our plans fail we are like to get
short shrift from Cromwell, who will
deny us the right of belligerents.
Whether the king believes this or not,
the documents we wish to send him

should bring back to US his commits

road there, it is not likely will win
my way back, SO both journeys are
equally vital to me-"
"You will be travelling through hos
tile country, but nevertheless will find
many to favor you, for though the land
is under the iron hand of Cromwell he
is far from pleasing all the people, al
though they may make quiet mouth
save a doubling head. Brave as you
are. Will, it Is on the smooth tongue
rather than on the sharp sword that
