CHAPTER XIV.
The Meddlechips were giving a ball.
therefore the mansion at Toorak was
brilliantly Illuminated and crowded with
fashionable people. The ball room was at
the side of the house, and from it French
windows opened on TO wide veranda,
which was inclosed with drapery and
hung with many-colored Chinese lanterns.
Beyond this the smooth green lawns
stretched away to thick fringe of trees,
which grew beside the fence and screened
the Meddlechip residence from the Curl
Gus gaze of vulgar eyes.
Kitty came under the guardianship Of
Mrs. Killer, a young matron with dark
hair, an imperious manner, and a young
man always at her heels. Mrs. Villiers
intended to have come, but at the last mo-
ment was seized with one Of her nervous
fits, SO decided to stop at home with
Selma for company. Kitty, therefore,
accompanied Mrs. Killer to the ball, but
the guardianship of that lady was more
nominal than anything else, as she went
off with Mr.. Bellthorp after introducing
Kitty to Mrs Meddlechip. and danced
with him the whole evening. Kitty, how
ever. did not in the least mind being left
to her own devices, for being an extremely
pretty girl she soon had plenty of young
men round her anxious to be Introduces.
She filled her program rapidly and kept
two valses for Vandeloup, as she knew
he was going to be present. but he as yet
had not made his appearance.
He arrived about a quarter past ten
o'clock, and was strollng leisurely up
to the house. when he saw Pierre, stand
ing amid a number of idlers at the gate.
The dumb man stepped forward, and
Vandeloup paused with smile on his
handsome lips, though he was angry
enough at the meeting.
Money again, / SUPPOSED" he said to
Pierre, in low voice, in French: don't
trouble me now, but come to my rooms
tomorrow"
The dumb man nodded, and Vandefoup
walked leisurely up the path. Then
Pierre followed him right up to the steps
which led to the house, saw him enter
the brilliantly lighted hall, and then hid
himself In the shrubs which grew on the
edge Of the lawn. There. In close hiding.

NARROWED DOWN TO WHIT.
MAN AND OREGON TEAM.

! With Washington State college beat

begin to narrow down in the champion

northwest But three teams are left
in the struggle for championship
Whitman, University of Oregon and
the Oregon Agricultural college. One
of these latter drops out tomorrow.
With w. S. c. beaten by Idaho.
which latter team was defeated by
Oregon, both are put out Of the run
ming. Should Whitman lose to either
of these teams. she loses to one which
has lost to Oregon and consequently is
out of the race. But should Whitman
defeat both the institutions which bait

son game, should that school III the

run that can run. She has Wearied
the whole northwest by her brags and
overbearing attitude on the situation
and her sound walloping by Idaho yes
terday is certainly ieI:ef to every
one. The great scoring machine"
failed to do better than one field goal
against a team which has been thought
the weakest in the whole northwest, a
team watch was played to a standstill

The 400 points Bender's machine was
to get has gone up in smoke. the ma.

to work.
Now if the papers on the coast will
sit up and take notice that Whitman
has a team. which at least read the
rules and can tell a ball when they st-o

efforts yesterday

the championship contest, will nave to

Oregon will lose to O. A. c., it was not
at all likely that w. S. c. would lose
to Idaho. In fact W. S. c.. money at

Whitman will play Idaho on the lat

win this game. shouiu stand good

she will ask Oregon for a post season

Five frenzied. yelling college men
from the gopher state, bedecked with
maroon and gold streamers and red

terday afternoon during the Washing

against it for numbers, but for real
enthusiasm. they held the big. red APP

and Princeton and even Whitman bowed
in silent recogniation. They were it!
When the little bunch of gophers
entered the gridiron and faced the
yelling mob of Whitman rooters, they
were greeted with huv,, enc cries OF

Really it was queer layout for the
westerners. They wondered why the
bunch wore big red and gold crysan-
tnemums. and the maroon and gold
colors seemed to be a jest. The boys
stood for it at first, but even good-na-
tured Ben Holt, who led the bunch,
grew weary. Enough is plenty, said
Ben. and with this he moved forward
until he stood directly in front of the
long suit, and as he raised his hands
for silence, the yelling gradually ceas-
