Colorado Springs, Feb. 1l.-The
prospects of winning track team
at Colorado college have been some
what weakened by the announcement
that Vandemoer, the crack sprinter,
who captained East. Dcnver's track
team last year. and who has won
high individual medal for the last
two years at the annual high school
day, has quit school.
Vandemoer would have been a
strong contender in both the dashes
and the jumps. Jack Nelson, form
erly of the Agricultural school, but
now at Denver university, is probably
the only man among the Colorado
schools who is his superior. although
with proper coaching and year oi

undoubtedly give him strong race

II was II most enjoyable, inn
portant and successful all-day
meeting that the city Missionary
Union held yesterday in the
parlors of the Methodist church.

made up of fine features and ev-

ficers were elected:
President-Mrs. Martin.
Vice President-Mrs. Steel.
Corresponding Secretary Mrs.
House.
Recording Secretary-Mrs. Wilcut
Treasurer-Mrs. Turner
Organist-Mrs. Brown
Perhaps the most important fea-
ture of the day was the discussion of
the matter of providing aid for the
worthy needy and unfortunate who,
owing to the hard times that are
prevailing in the East. South and
Northwest. are flocking to these
prosperous western points in greater
numbers than ever before 1t was
decided to call conference of rep
resentatives of various societies
+ churches and organizations of the
city to take up the proposition of
having united and non-sectarian
charitable organization in order to
provide for the worthy unfortunate
in a systematic manner and in such
manner that the burden will not
fail heavily ON IA few individuals OF

Il returned here by the last train

structions taken at that meeting
Outside Braster Grange an attack
was made upon me, evidently with
the intention of securing these.
escaped, with the assistance Ol
Colonel Ray, who had come down
from London by the same train un
known to me-"
"Well?"
The attack wes made from the
grounds of Braster Grange. Il
seems that Lord Blenavon spent the
night there. The next morning Col
Ray insisted upon my accompanying
him to Braster Grange. Lord Blen
avon was still there, and we asw
him. He was suffering from wounds
such as in the darkness l had in
flicted upon my assailant OF the
night before.
1t seemed to me that even then
the duke would not, or could not
understand. His brows were knit
! ted into a heavy frown, and he was
evidently following my story with
close attention. But exactly where
was going to lead, he seemed to
have no idea.
THE tenant of Braster Grange
/ continued, lis q Mrs. Smith
Leasing, whom Col. Ray has told
me is a servant of the French Sc
cret police. l am afraid that Lord
Blenavon has been a good deal un
| der her influence"
Then the duke blazed out, which
was very much what | expected
from him. Horror, amazement
and scornful disbelief were all ex-
! pressed in his TRANSPORTED face
and angry words.
"Blenavon! My son! The confed
crate of French spy! What non
sense Who dares to suggest such
thing? Angela-I-I beg your
pardon"
He stopped short, making an eff
| fort to regain his self-control. He
continued in more collected man
ner, but his voice still shook with
inexpressible scorn.
auScid, ne Sdiuf IuihtitS " uSi
lis it within your knowledge that
Blenavon had any acquaintance
with this person."
I think that her face might well
have answered him; very white ii
was, and very sorrowful.
"Blenavon met Mrs. Smith-Les
sing, | believe, at Bordighera." she
said. Il have seen them together
several times"
'Here?" the duke asked sharply
Yes, have seen them riding on
the sands, and Blenavon dined
there on the night-Mr. Ducaine
has been. speaking Of"
"Blenavon Is a fool" the duke
said. This Is to my mind convinc.
ing proof tina the was ignorant of
