Rtwndon wno taken to Newgate, tho
most loathsome prison In Txmdon nt
that time, It being used for felons, while
Ludgate was for debtors. Here he was
thrown Into an underground dungeon
foul with water that seeped through
the otd masonry from the moat and
alWw with every uotsomc thing that
ereepa, There was no bed, no stool, no I
floor, not even a wisp of straw; simply
the reeking stone walls, covered
twith fungus, and tbe window less arch
overhead. One could hardly conceive
n ninn> linrrlhlo nlrnw in trhlnh in anantl
11 erw a moment. I had a glimpse of It .
by the llfrht of the kwpcr'H lantern a*
they put him In, and It seemed to me n
V single night In tbftt awful place would '
bare killed nie of driven ii>e and. I.
" pttWrsfed and bogged and tried to bribe, Mj
but It was all of 110 avail. The keeper
had been bribed iK'fore I arrived. Al- nj
though It could do 110 possible gpod, 1
was glad to stand outside the prison
walla In the drenching rain all the rest
of that wretched night that I might be nf
aa nenr as possible to my friend and
suffer a little with him. n
Aa soon hs the prison gates were t)
opened next morning I again iinpor- jg
tuned the keeper to give Itrandon n
more comfortable cell, but his reply ^
was that such crimes had of late l?e- n]
come so frequent In London that no fa- ^
vor could be shown those who commit- j?
ted them, and that men like Brandon, ,n
who ought to know and act better, de- nj
screed the maximum punishment.
I told him he was wrong In this case; ^
that I knew the facts, and everything y(
would be clearly explained that very
idny and Brandon released. <c
"That's all very well," responded the j,,
stubborn creature. "Nolwdy Is guilty R|
who comes here. They can every one
prove Innocence clearly and at once.
Notwithstanding, they nearly all hang, n,
and frequently, for variety's sake, are _
drawn and quartered. d,
V , I waited al>out Newgate until ft
o'clock and as I passed out met Buck
I Ingham and his man Johnson, a sort of ^
F lawyer-knight, going In. I went down g
117 uir |nuu*i' <11 \iirvn^ n ii lliiil, iiiiiii 11^ .
that the girls were still at Scotland S
palace, rode over at once to see them. ^
Upon getting Mary and Jane to my- w
self 1 told theiu of Flrundon's arrest j
on the charge of murder and of his
condition, lylug half dead from wounds
and loss of Idood In that frightful ^
dungeon. The tale moved them great- ^
ly, and they both cave way to tears. I
think Mary had heard of the arrest ^
before, as she did not seem surprised. "Do
you think he will tell the cause /
of the klllln*-?" she asked. '
"I know he will not," I answered, '
"but I also know that he knows you ni
will." And I looked straight Into her .
face.
"Certainly we will," said Jane. "We
will go to the king at once." And she
/ was on the qui vivo to start Immedl>
ately.
Mary did not at once consent to 8|
Jane's proposition, but sat In a reverie,
looking with tearful eyes into vacancy, w
apparently absorbed In thought. After
n little pressing from us she said,
"I suppose It will have to l>e done?I ol
ran see no other way?but blessed 8f
? * Mother Mary, help me!" P'
The glrla made hasty preparations, ni
amd we all started hack to Green- w
Vlch, that Mary might tell the king. M
?>n the pond over I stopped nt Newgate *1
to tell Brandon that the princess would
noon have him ont, knowing how wel- nl
j eome liberty would be nt her hands,
hut I was not permitted to see him. d<
I swallowed my disappointment and tc
thought It would be only a matter of w
^few hours' delay, the time spent In J'
riding down to Greenwich and sending T
back a messenger. So, light hearted N
enough at the prospect, I soon joined w
the girls, and we cantered briskly 01

What was my surprise nnd disgust
hen Mary told uie she had not yet

i few moments more or less could
ake no difference."

I wn? n little frightened at the length
? which my feeling had driven me,
nt Mary took it all very well and said
owly and absent nil udedly:
"You are right. I will go at once. I
^splsc my selfish neglect. There Is
3 other way?I have rocked my brain
there Is no other way. It must bo
me, nnd I will go at once and do it."
"And I will go with you," said I.
"I do not blame you," she said, "for
mbting me since 1 have failed once,
ut you need not doubt me now. It
inll be done, and without delay, reirdless
of the cost to me. I have
lought nnd thought to find some other
ay to liberate him, but there Is none,
will go this instant."
"And I will go with you, Lady Mar,"
said I doggedly.
She smiled nt my persistency and
>ok me by the hand, saying, "Come!"
We at once went off to find the king,
ut the smllo had faded from Mary's
ice, and she looked ns if she were goig
to execution. Every shade of color
nd fled, and her Hps were tho hue of
shea.
We found the king in the midst of
Is council, with the French nmbnssa?rs,
discussing the all absorbing topic
T the inarrlugc treaty, and Henry,
?arlng an outbreak, refused to see
ic princess. As usual, opposition but
jurred her determination, so she sat
own In the anteroom nnd snld she
'Aiilil n/\f !? until ulin IiasI tKo

After we had walte<l n few minutes
ne of the king's pages came up and
lid lie hnd been looking nil over tho
nlnee for me mid that the king desired
iy presence Immediately. I went In
'1th the page to tho king, leaving
[nry alone and very melancholy In
le antechamber.
I'pon entering the king's presence he
nked: "Where have you been, Sir Edln?
I have almost killed a good half

Could a couiujuikI to duty have coqio
tft a more inopportune time 7 S
distracted, and npon leaving tbe king *
went at once to seek the Lady Mary "
where t had loft her In the anteroom. *
She hnd gone, so 1 went to her apart- *
raents, but could not And Jier. I went 9
to the qu&ji's salon, but she was not ^
tliere, and 1 trnversed that old ram- J1
bllng palace from one end to the other ^
without finding her or Lady Jane. 1
The king hnd told me the embassy
would be a secret one nud that I was . *
to speak of it to nobody, least of all to zi
the Lady Mary. No one was. to know ^
that 1 was leaving .England, and I wds
to commtijktcate with no ope at home ,
whjie in France.. * u
Tfhc' Ring's command was not to l>e w
djgftjjcyed. qco do ao would be,as much ; fS
mr liistiest durv. nnd no PmiltMtpn ever I
failed In that. I may not be as tall at ^
some men, but my fidelity and honor? *
but you will say I bonst. ?
I was to make ready uiy bundle and ..
ride six tulles to London in one hour, j
and almost half that time was spent
already. I was suro to be late, so 1 r
could not waste another minute.
I went to my room and got together , J
a few things necessary for my Journey,
but did not tnke much In the way of m
clothing, preferring to buy tlmt new t
In I'nris, where I could find the lntest
styles in pattern and fabric.
I tried to assure inyself that Mary ^
would see the kiug at once and tell him
nil and not allow my denr friend Brandon
to lie In tlint terrible place another ^
night. yet a persistent fear gnawed at .
my heart, and a sort of intuition that seemed
to have the very breath of certaint}'
In Its'foreboding made me doubt w
her.
cc
As I could find neither Mary ?or
Jane, I did the next best thing?1 ^
wrote a letter to each of them, urging nr
Immediate action and left them to be
delivered by my man Thomas, who
was one of those trusty souls that nev- ..
er fail. I did not tell the girls I was . 1
about to stnrt for France, but lutlmatetl
that I was compelled to leave London
for a time and said, "I leave the
fate of this man. to whom wo all owe j '
so much. In your liunds, knowing full R]
well how tender you will be of him."
I was away from home nearly a
month, and as I dured not write, and
Jntrr ?Vt?> not Nwovr xvlirrr T 11
I did. not ^receive nor expect any Hot- jOJ
ters. "The king had ordered secrecy, ?
and If I have mingled with all my slj
faults a single virtue it Is that of lu.
faithfulness to my trust. So I had uo
news from Kuglnnd and sent none ||fl
home# (i,
During all that time the same old XV1
fear lived in my heart that Mary -p|
miff lit 1:111 10 uoernio nrnnuou. cm 11* (i,
know of the negotiations concerning a,
tlio French marriage, as we nil (lid, nl- 0f
though only by nu Indefinite sort of
hearsay, nnd I was sure the linlf found- R
ed rumors thnt liad renched her ears
had long since become certainties and
that her heart was full of trouble nnd
fear of her violent brother. Sho would
certainly he at her coaxing nnd wheedllng
again and 011 her best behavior, m
and I feared she might refrain from
telling Henry of her trip to Grouclie's,
knowing how severe lie was In such ^
matters nnd how furious lio was sure jH
to become at the discovery. I was cer- . j
tain It was this fear which had pre- j
vented Mary from going directly to cc
the king 011 our return to Greenwich
from Scotland palace, nnd I knew thnt ^
her eating, bathing nnd dressing were
but nn excuse for a breathing spell before
the (trended Interview.
This fear remained with me all the
time 1 was away, but when 1 reasoned
with myself I would smother it as well
as I could with argumentative nttempts nj
at self assurance. I would say over
nnd over to myself thnt Mary could p?
not fall nnd that even If she did there
was Jane?dear, sweet, thoughtful, uu- j
seltlsh Jane!?who would not allow her
to do so. But, as far as they go, our
Intuitions?our "feelings," as we call p(
theui?are worth all the logic In the ?
world, and you mny say what you will, ^
but my presentiments?I speak for no
one else?are well to be minded. There
Is another sense hidden about us that ^
will develop as the race grows older, ?
I speak to posterity.
In proof of this statement I now tell ^
you that when I returned to London I .
found Brandon still lu the terrible dun- '
geon, and, worse still, he had been
tried for murder and had been eon- u
denined to be hanged, drawn and qunr-? |v
tered on the second Friday following. n
Hanged! Drawn! Quartered! It Is 11
time we were doing away with such ?'
barbarity. w
We will now 4fc;{>nok a month for
the purpose of looking up the doings of "
a friend of ours, his grace the Duke of ''
Buckingham.
On the morning after the fatal battle *'
of Billingsgate the barl?er who had
treated Brandon's wounds had been B(
called to London to dress a bruised 'v
knee for his grace the duke. In the 11
course of the operation an immense P
denl of information oozed out of the w
hnrhnr rtfio ItniB t\f wltloli tvnu ihat ho ?
had the night before dressed nine
wounds, great mid small, for Master pl
Brandon, the king's friend. This e?- "

Buckingham bad had his suspicions all ^

"I shall be most happy to serve your

In the afternoon the duke returned

Buckingham felt that his revengo

Buckingham had gone to pay his resets
to the queen and on his way
ick had espied Mary waiting for tho
ng in the anteroom and went to her.
At first she was irritated at the sight
' this man, whom she so despised,
it a thought came to her that she
iglit make use of him. She knew his
>wcr with the citizens nnd city aulorities
of I<ondon and also knew, or
lought she knew,, that a smile from
?r could accompiisli everything with
m. She had ample evidence of his
fa tuntion, and slic hoped that sho
>uld procureBrnndon's liberty through
ucklnglinm without revealing her
ingerous secret
Much to the duke's surprise, she
11 iled upon him and gave a cordlul
elcome, snying: "My lord, you have
xmi unkind to us of late and have not
iowd us the light of your counteince.
I nm glad to see you once
ore. Tell mo the news."
"I cannot say there is much of iuterit.
I have learned the new dance
om Cnskodeu, if thnt Is news, and
ipe for a favor at our nest ball from
le fairest lady in the world."
"And quite welcome," returned Mary,
miplacently appropriating the title,
ind welcome to more than one, 1
ope, my lord."
This grnciousness would have looked
ispicious to one with less vanity than
uckinglinm, but he saw no craft in it.
[e did see, however, that Mary did
[>t kuow who had attacked her in
illlngsgnte, nnd ho felt greatly reeved.
The duke smiled and smirked and
as enchanted at her kindness. They
nlkcd down the corridor, talking and

to put the important question withut
exciting suspicion. At Inst It came,
'hen Buckinghuiu, half Inquiringly,

"I am waiting to see the king," said

"Pardoning him! What are you talk- h
Ing of, my lord? lie has done nothing h
to be pardoned for. He should be and h
shall be rewarded." Mary spoke im- c!
petuously, but caught herself and tried
to remedy her blunder. "That Is, If I n
havo heard tlio straight of It. I have tl
been told that the killing was done in ci
the defense of two?women." Think si
of this poor, uuconselous girl, so full rl
of grief and trouble, talking thus to u
Buckingham, who knew so much more s<
about the a(falr than even she who hod T
taken so active a part in It! h
"Who told you of it?" asked the tl
duke. ' 11
Mary saw she had made a mistake d
and, after hesitating for a moment,
answered: "Sir Edwin Caskoden. He ti
had It from Master Brandon, I sup- tl
pose." ltather adroit this was, but a
equidistant from both truth and ef- p
fectiveuess. n
"I will go at once to London and or- tl
range for Brandon's escape," said v
Buckingham, prepurlng to leuve. "But e
you must not divulge the fnct that I
do it. It would cost me all the favor I n
enjoy with tho peoplo of London,
though I would willingly lose that fa- 8
vor a thousaud times over for a smile 11
from you." !('
Bhe gave the smile, and as he left n
followed his retiring flguve with her
eyes and thought. "After all, he has a
kind heart. ^
She broatliod n sigh of relief, too, for 8
she felt she had accomplished Urandon's
release and still retained her dan- ^
gerous secret, the divulging of which o
she feared would harden Henry's heart t
against li *r hlandlshnients and strand
her upon the throne of France. .
Hut she was not entirely satisfied ^
with the arrangement. She knew that j
her obligation to ISrariTlon was such as j
to demand of her that she should not ^
leave the matter of his release to any
other person, much less to an eneiny
such as Hucklugham. Yet the cost of 8
his freedom by a direct net of her own e
would he so great that she was tempted
to take whatever risk there might
l o in the way that had opened itself to
her. Not that she would not have
made the sacrifice willingly or would
not hnvo told Henry all If that were
the only chance to save Brandon's life,

t the time wlien she thpught she wm

She recoile<l also from the thought
f Bramlon's "escape," and It hurt her
hut lie should bo a fugitive from the
ustice thnt should reward him, yet
he quieted these disturbing suggealons
with the thought that It would
ie only for a short time, nud Brandon,
ho knew, would be ouly too glad to
aake the sacrifice if it purchased for
ler freedom from the worse than damintlon
that lurked in the French mar*
iage.
All this ran quickly through Mary'a
ulnd nnd brought relief, but It did not
ure the uneasy sense, weighing like
cad upon her heart, thnt she should
akc no chance with this man's life and
kould put no further weight of sacrlce
upon him, but should go to the
lug and tell him a straightforward
tory, lei it hurt where it would. With
little mcditntiou, however, came a
liought which decided the question and
bsolutely made everything bright
gain for her, so great was her capallity
for distilling light. She would
o*at once to Windsor with Jane and
rould dispatch a note to Brandon at

y a page, and one hour Inter the girts
ere on their road to Windsor.
Buckingham went to Newgate, exacting
to make a virtue, with Mary,
lit of the necessity Imposed by the
lng's command in freeing Brandon.
[e had hoped to Induce Brandon to
>nve I/ondon stealthily and Immedlater
by representing to him the evil consquences
of a break between the dtlpiis
and tin* king, liable to grow out
f his release, and relied 011 Brandon's
moronity to help him out, but when
e found the note which Mary's page
ad delivered to the keeper of Newgate
e rend It, and all Ills plans were
hanged.
lie caused the keeper to send the
otc to the king, suppressing the fact
int be, Buckingham, had any knowlilge
of it. The duke then at once
tarted to Greenwich, where he arIved
ami sought the king a few mlntes
before the time he knew the mespnger
with Mary's note' would come.
'lie king was soon found, and Bucklgham,
in apparent anger, told him
lint the city authorities refused to dever
Brandon except upon an order uner
the king's seal.
Henry and Buckingham were inpnsely
indignant nt the conduct of
he scurvy burghers, and an Immense
mount of self importance was dlslnyed
and shamefully wasted. This
lanifestatlon was nt Its highest when
lie messenger from Newgate arrived
rlth Mary's poor little note as lntendd
by the duke.
The uote was handed to Henry, who
end aloud as follows:
To Master Charles Brandon. greeting:
