The princess was trying to check her weeping and in a moment took up the thread of her unfinished sentence: “And Master Brandon, too, left With- out so much as sending me one little wordâ€"not a line nor a syllable. He did not come near me, but went off as it I did not careâ€"or he did not. 0! course he dld not care or he, would not have behaved so. knowing I was in so much trouble. I did not see him at all after-one afternoon in the king’sâ€"- about a week before that awful night In London, except that night, when I was so frightened I could not speak one word of all the things I wished to say.” The king of course was beside him- self with rage. “By God’s soul," he swore. “she shall marry Louis of France or I will have her whipped to death on the Smith- neld piliory!” And in his wicked heart â€"so impervious to a single lasting good impulseâ€"he really meant it. “Oh, Sir Edwin,” began Mary, who was ,weeplng, “was ever woman in such frightful trouble? My brother is killing me. Can he not see that I could not live through a week of this mar- riage? And I have been deserted by all my friends, too, excepting Jane. She. poor thing. cannot leave.” “You know I would not go,” said June parenthetically. Mary continued, “You. too, have been home an entire week and have not been near me.” tle with Mary in bed. The door had been placed on its hinges again, but the bed was tumbled as Mary had left it, and the room was in great disorder. I began to soften at the sight of her grief and concluded with Brandon that, after all, her beauty could well cover I remained behind hoping to see the girls, and after a short time a page plucked me by the sleeve, saying the princess wished to see me. a multitude of sins. perhaps even this. her great transgression against him. Immediately after this, the king, De Longueville and Wolsey set out for London. _ The page conducted me to the same room in which had been fought the bat- This sounded strange enough, and I began more than ever to suspect some- thing wrong. I, however, kept us firm a grasp as possible upon the stock of indignation I haul brought with me. “How did you expect to see or hear from him,” asked I, “when he was ly- ing in a loathsome dungeon without one ray of light, condemned to be hanged, drawn and quartered because of your selfish neglect to save him who at the cost of half his blood and al- most his life had saved so much for you?” I continued: “Lady Mary, no one could have made me believe that you would stand back and let the man to whom you owed so great a debt lie so long in such misery and be condemned to such a death for the act that saved you. I could nex or have beliewd“ it!” Her eyes grew big, and the tears were checked by genuine surprise. “Imp of hell!” screamed Mary. “What tale is this you bring to torture me? Have I not enough already? Tell me 1th a lie or I will have your miserable little tongue torn out by the root!” “It is 1:0 lie, princcsé, but an awful truth and a frightful shame to you.” She gave a hysterical laugh and, thrdwiug up her hands with her accus- tomed 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. I was deteruiined to tell her all and let her see herself as she was. 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 once. We will start to walk, Edwinâ€"I must be doing somethingâ€"and Jane can follow with the horses and over- take us. No; I will not dress; just as I am; this will do. Bring me a hat, Janeâ€"any one, any one.” While put- tin; on hat and gloves she continued: “I .will see the king at once and tell him all-all! I will do anything. I will marry that old king of France or forty king: or forty devils! It’s all one to me. Anything, anything, to save him! Oh, to think that he has been in that dungeon all this time!" And the tears came unhgeded in a del- "She was under such headway and spoke and moved so rapidly that I could not step her until she was nearly ready to go; then I held her by the arm while I said: “It is not necessary now. You are too late.” A look of horror came into her face. and I continued slowly: “I procured Brandon’s release netly a week ago. I did what you should have done, and he is now at our rooms in Greenwich.” Mary looked at me a moment and, tnrnlnxpale,preu_eedherhand_stoher “There is my answer, sir!” After a short silence she said; “Ed- win Caskodenâ€"fool! Why could you not have told me that at first? I thought my brain would burn and my heart burst." “I should have told you had you giv- en me time. As to the pain it gave you”-this was the last charge to my large magazine of indignationâ€"“I care very little about that. You deserve it. I do not know what explanation you have to otter, but nothing can excuse you. Afexplanation, however good. would have been little comfort to you had Brandon failed you in Billingsgate that night.” She had fallen into a chair by this time and sat in reverie, staring at noth- ing. Then the tears came agaln. but more softly. “You are right; nothing can excuse me. I am the most selfish, ungrateful. guilty creature ever born. A whole month in that dungeon!” And she covered her drooping face with her hands. Upon my return Mary was more composed. Jane had dressed her hair, and she was sitting on the bed in her riding habit, hat in hand. Her fingers were nervously toying at the ribbon! and her eyes cast down. “You are surely right, Sir Edwin. I have no excuse. I can have none, but I will tell you how it was. You re- member the day you left me in the waiting room of the king’s council, when they were discussing my mar- riage without one thought of me, as if I were but a slave or a dumb brute that could not feel ?" She began to weep a little, but soon recovered her- self. “While waiting for you to re- turn the Duke of Buckingham came in. I knew Henry was trying to sell me to the French king, and my heart was full of trouble-from more causes than you can know. All the council, espe- cially that butcher's son, were urging him on, and Henry himself was anx- ious that the marriage should be brought about. He thought it would strengthen him for the imperial crown. He wants et'erything and is ambitious to be emperor. Emperor! He would cut a pretty figure! I hoped, though, I should be able to induce him not to sacrifice me to his selfish interests, as I have done before, but I knew only too well it would tax my powers to the utmost this time. I knew that if I did anything to anger or to antagonize him it would be all at an end with me. You know he. is so exacting with other peo- ple’s conduct for one who is so careless of his ownâ€"-so virtuous by proxy. You renu-mber how cruelly he disgraced and crushed poor Lady Chesterfield, who was in such trouble about her hus- band and who went to Grouche's only to learn if he were true to her. llem'y seems to be particularly set.:-i;;-.'<- in that tlil’<"4'iiuli.

While I was waiting along mm: the Duke of Buckingham. and as I know he was popular in London and had almost as Illllt'h influence there as the king :1 thonght came to me that he might help us. “I know that he and Master Brandon had passed a few angry words at one time in Qny ballroomâ€"you rememberâ€"- but I also know that the duke was inâ€" in love with mo, you know, or pretend- ml to boâ€"ho always said he wasâ€"41nd I felt sure I vould by a little flattery tn- duoo him to do anything. He was al- 'ays protosting that he would give words for the moment. “80 I told the duke I had promised you and Jane to procure Master Brandon’s liberty, and asked him to do it for me. He gladly consented and gave me his knightly word that it should be attended to without an hour’s delay. He said it _might have to be done secretly in the way of an escapeâ€"not omciallyâ€"as the Londoners were very jealous of their rights and much aroused on account of the killing. Especially, he said, that at that time great caution must be used. as the king was anxious to conciliate the city in order to procure a loan for some purposeâ€"my dower, I suppose. half his blood to serve me.

It is quite a distance from London. and I thought it might afford a better opportunity to â€"to seeâ€"I thought, perhaps Master Brandon might comeâ€"might want toâ€" to-see Jane and me. In fact, I wrote him before I left Greenwich that I should be here. Then I heard he had gone to New Spain. Now you see how all my troubles have come upon me at once, and this the greatest of them, because it is my fault. I can ask no forgiveness from any one, for I cannot forgive myself.” "I saw Buékingham the next day, for I was very anxious. you may be sure. and he said the keeper of Newgate had We were all wry silent. but at one time Mary spoke up from the midst of n i'ovorie: “During the momvnt when I thought Master I; ':l!i(10ll had been exc- cutedâ€"when you said it was too lateâ€" it somnod that I was born again and ail nuuln «war; that I was (:hangvd in the very U‘Xilli't‘ of my nnturu by the shork. :19. thvy my tho grain of the iron cannon is smxwtimm rlmngvd by too violent an explosion." And this proved to be. true in Soiilt' rvspocts. We rode on rapidly and did not stop in London except to give the horses drink. She then inquired about Brandon’s health and spirits, and I left out no distressing detail, you may be sure. D‘firing xvny recita'l she sit with down- cast eyes and tear stained face playing with the ribbons of her hat. “Is it so had as that?” Then, medita- tively: “And at his trial he did not tell the reason for the killing? Would not compromise me, who had served him so ill, even to save his own life? Noble, noble!” And her lips went together as she rose to her feet. No tears now; nothing but glowing, determined wo- manhood. “Then I will go to him wherever he may be. He shall forgive me, no mat- ter what my fault.” Soon after this we were on our way to London at a brisk gallop. “I greatly tear, in fact. I know he will not come.” said I. “The cruelest blow of all. worse even than the dun- geon or the sentence of death, was your failure to save him. He trusted you so implicitly. At the time of his arrest he refused to allow me to tell the king, saying he knew you would see to itâ€"thnt you were pure gold.” When I was ready to go. she said, “Please say to Master Brandon 1 should likeâ€"toâ€"seeâ€"him it he cares to come. it only that I may tell him how it hap- pened.” “I cannot do that either, Lady Mary. When I mentioned your name the other day, he said he would enrse me it I ev- er spoke it again in his hearing.” “Ah, did he say that?” she asked. an a sad little smile lighted her face. “His faith was so entirely without doubt that his recoil from you is cor- respondingly great. He goes to New Spain as soon as his health is recovered suflieiently for him to travel.” This sent the last flock of mlor from her face, and with the words almost choking her throat, “Then tell him what I have said to you and perhaps he will not feel so”â€" After crossing the bridge Mary said, half to Jane and half to herself, “I will never marry the I-‘reneh kingâ€"never." Mary was but :1 girl pitted against a body of brutal own. two of them rulers of the two groan-st nations on earthâ€" mther heavy mm; for one woman. We rode down to (:roonwicll and en- tered the palm-«- witlmut exciting com- ment, as the prizwess was in the habit of coming and going at will. The king and queen and most of the courtiers were in London at Bridevvell House and Baynard's castle, where Henry was vigorously pushing the loan of 500,000 crowns for Mary's dow- er, the only business of state in which at that time he took any active inter- est. Subsequently, as you know, he be- came interested in the divorce laws and the various methods whereby I man. especially a king, might rid him- self of a distasteful wife, and after he saw the truth in Anne Boleyn’s eyes he adopted a combined policy of church and state craft that has brought us a deal of senseless trouble ever since and is like to keep it up. “'hen we arrived at the palace the girls went to their apartments and I to mine, where I found Brandon read- ing. There was only one window to our common i'OOllloâ€"ti dormer window set into the roof and reached by a lit- tle passage as broad as the window it- self and perhaps a yard and a half long. In the alcove thus formed was a bench along the wall, cushioned by Brandon’s great campaign cloak. In this window we often sat and read, and here was Brandon with his book. I had intended to tell him the girls were com- ing. for when Mary asked me it I thought he would come to her at the palace, and when I had again said no, she reiterated her intention of going to him at once; but my courage failed me and I did not speak of it. I knew that Mary ought not to come to our room, and that it news of it should reach the king’s ears there would be more and worse trouble than ever, and as usual Brandon would pay the penalty for all; Then again, if it were discovered it might seriously com- promise both Mary and Jane, as the world is full of people who would rath- er say and believe an evil thing of an- other than to say their prayers or to believe the holy creed. As to Mary’s dnwer, Henry was to pay Louis only 400,000 crowns, but he made the marriage an excuse for an extra 100,000 to he devoted to his own private use. I had said as much to the Lady Mary .when she expressed her determination to go to Brandon. She had been in the wrong so much of late that she was humbled, and I was brave enough to say whatever I felt. but she said she had thought it all over, and as every one . .was away from ' Greenwich it Jane would have gone, though, had she known that all her fair name would go with her. She was right, you see. when she told me while riding over to Windsor that should Mary’s love blos- som into a full blown passion she would wreck everything and every- body, including herself perhaps, to at- tain the object of so great a desire.

Nothing short of chains and fetters could have kept her from going to Brandon that even- ing. There was an inherent force about her that was irresistible and swept everything before it. In our garret she was to meet anoth- er will, stronger and infinitely better controlled than 1101' own, and I did not know how it would all turn out. She told Jane she need not go; that she, Mary, did not want to take any risk of compromising her. woutd’ not be round out it done so- side '36); Bomof iii age , a he '13 big and healthy.
