Then, with the tears fulliu.u unheeded down lier cheeks: "Master Wolsey, you butcher's cur, this trick was of your conception. The others had not brains enough to think of it.

Mary had readied It when she (r. threw the neeklaeo and shot her holt at Wolsey, so she broke down and hastily left the room. The kins of course was beside himself with rage. "I'.y Cod's soul." he swore, "she shall marry Louis of France or I will have her whipped to death on the SmithHeld pillory!" And in liis wleked heart j ?so impervious to a single lasting good 1 Impulse -l:e realty meant it. ; Immediately after this, the king, Do Longueville and Wolsey set out -for London. 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. The page conducted me to the same room 1n which had boon fought the bnt B "There in my answer, sir!" tie with Mary in l)c?l. The door lind ibeen placed <?n Its hinges again, but the bod wn* tumbled its Mary bad loft It. and the room wan in great disorder.

And I have been deserted by nil -my friends, too, excepting Jane. She, poor thing, cannot leave." "You know I would not go," said IJano parenthetically. Mary continued, "You, too, have been home an entire week and have not lieen near me." I began to soften at the sight of her ^*rief and concluded with Brandon that, *fter all. her beauty eou/d well cover a multitude of sins, perl/a ps even this, her great trnysgrosslori 'tgftlnst Mm. The princess was trying to cliook her weeping and In a moment took up the thread of her unfinished sentence: "And Master Brandon, too, left without. so much as sending me one little ^Kord?not a llffe msqw syllable.

This sounded strange enough, and I J began more than ever to suspqjft something wrong. I. however, kept as tirm a grasp as possible upon the stoek of | indignation I had brought with ine. "How did you expert to see or bear from him," asked I. "when lie was lying in a loathsome dungeon without one ray of light, condemned to be j banged, drawn and*quartered because ! of your selfish neglect to save him who j at the cost of half his blood and nl? j most his life had saved so much for | you?" Her eyes grow big, and the tears were checked by genuine surprise. 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 he condemned to such a death* for the act that saved 1 I....... I...II 1 It'" "Imp of lu*lI!" screamed Mary. "What tale is liii- you bring to torture mo? Have I not enough already? Toll nio j it Is a lio or I will hnvo your miserable Utile tongue torn out by the root!" "It is no lio, princes*, but an awful truth and a frightful shame to you." I v.*ns determined to tell her all and let her see herself as she was. She gave a hysterical laugh and, throwing up her hands with her accustomed. little pestur**, fell upon the bed In utter nbandoniix nt, shaking as with i a spasm. She did not weep; she could not; she wns past that now. Jane went over to the lied and tried to soothe her. In a moment Mary sprang to her feet, exclaiming: "Master lira talon conI demnod to death, and you and I here I talking and moaning and weeping! I C'ome, come; we will go to the king nt once. We will start to walk, Kdwln?I must ho doing something?and Jane can follow with the horses and overtake us. No; I will not dress; just as I am; this will do. Itriiig me a hat, Jane?any one, any one." While putting on'hat and gloves she continued: "I will see the king at once and tell i him nil?all! I will do anything. I will marry that old king of France or forty kings or forty devils! It's all one to inc. Anything, anything, to Bare him! Oh, to think that he has been in that dungeon all this time!" t .wl i- 1 1 1- - J-? iiu me ivars luuiu iiuiiecueu m u upillgC. She was under sucli headway and spoke and moved so rapidly that I eonUl not stop 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 nearly a week ago. I did what you should have done, and he is now at onr rooms In Greenwich." Mary looked at ine a moment and, turning pale, pressed her hnuds to her heart and leaned against the door frame. After a short silence she said: "TCdwin Caskoden?fool! Why could you not have told mo that at llrst? I thought my brain would burn and my heart burst." "I should have told you had you given me time. As to the pain It gave you"?this was the last charge to my large magazine of indignation?"I rare very little about that. You deserve it. I do not know what explanation you have to offer, l?ut nothing can excuse you. An explanation, however good, would have been little comfort to you had Brandon failed you In Billingsgate that night." Nhe had fallen Into a chair by this time and sat in reverie, staring at noth nig. j nen tue team came again, but more softly. "Vou are right; nothing eau excuse nie. I rtm the most Hellish, ungrateful, guilty creature ever born. A whole month in that dungeon!" And alio covered her drooping face with her hands. "f?o away for awhile, Edwin, and | then return. We shall want to hoc you again," an Id Jane. Upon my return Mary was more composed. Jane had dmsscd her hair, and she was sitllng on the bod In her riding habit, hat in hand. Her fingers were nervously toying at tlio ribbons 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 remember the day you lefc 1110 In the waiting room of the king's council, wheu thoy were dlscusslug my mar { ! rlnge without one thought of mo, a4 i If I were but a slave or a dumb bruto | that could not foolV" She began to j weep a little, but soon recovered lierj self. "While waiting for you to ro! turn the Duke of Ituckinghant came in. ' I know Henry was trying to sell me to the French king, and my heart was full of trouble?front more causes than you can know. All the council, especially that butcher's son, were urging hint on, and Henry himself was anxious that the marriage should be brought about. He thought it would strengthen him for the imperial crown, lie wants everything and is ambitious to be emperor. Kiuperor! He would cut a pretty thru re! I Imped, though, 1 should be able to induce him not to sacrifice me to Ids s !!' !i interests, as I. have done before, but I knew only too well it would tax my powers to the utmost this tin: \ I knew that if I did anything to nngi r or to antagonize him It would he till at an end with me.

"The duke said it should be as I wished; that Master ltrandon should eseape and remain away from I-ondon I for a few weeks until the kimz nro I cured his loan nial then be freed by royal proclamation. "I saw Buckingham (lie next day, for I I was very anxious, you may be sure, 1 and he said the keeper of Newgate bad i told litnt It bad been arranged the ' night before as desired.

She then Inquired about Brandon'* health and spirits, and I left out no distressing detail, you may be sure. Idirlng my recital she sat with downcast eyes and tear stained faco playing with the ribbons of her hat. When I was ready to tco. she RafcL ! 1 "J'Urn so snv to Master Hrandon I should I like :.i?? s(?o?-him If lio cares to come, ! if only lit.;< I may toll him how It hap| ponod." j .

"A h. did he say that'/" she asked, as a sod little smile lighted her face. "fiis faith was so entirely without doubt that his recoil from you is eorrcspomlingly great. IIo goes to Now jSpriin as soon as his health is recovered sutlleicf.tly for him to travel." This seat the last tie: k of color from her fa.ee. and with the words almost choking her tin oat. "Then tell him what ! nave said to you and perhaps ho tval not feel so"? "I cannot do that either. Lady Mary. When 1 metitiou*. <1 your name the other day, he said he would curse me if I ev i'i- apoke it again in his hearing." "Ia it so bad as that?" Than, meditatively: 'And at h.is trial h?? did not toll th.;> I'.-'.iaon for 1h*> killing? WouUl not eoniprnml.*" mo, w'o had served him so ill. ovon to s-ivo his own lifo? Noble, noblo!" And lior lips wont together as she ivr? to lior loot. No toars now; nothing latt glowing, dotonninod womanhood. "Thon I will no to liiin whorovor ho may ho. Ito shall forgive ino, no mattor what my fault." Soon after this wo wore on our way to London at a brisk ;tallop. Wo woro all vary silont. hut at one tiiuo Mary spoke up from tho midst of a rovorio; "1 mring tho niomont when I thought Mastov llrandon lind boon executed -when you said it was too lateit seemed that T was horn again and nl. made over; that 1 was changed hi the very toxture of my nature lay the shook, as tliey say the grain of tlio iron oannon is somotimos < hanged hy too violent an expl.'ision." And this proved to he-true in some rospoets. Wo rode on rapidly and did not slop in Loudon except to give the horses drink. After or using the bridge Mary said, half to Jane end half to herself, "I will never marry the French king?never." Mary was hut a girl pilled against n body of brutal men. two of them rulers oT the two greatest nations oi\ earth? rather heavy odds for one woman. We rode down to (Jroenwlcli and entered the palace without exciting comment, as the princess was in the habit of coming and going at will. The king and queen and most of the courtiers woro in London at Rridowoll House and Haynnrd's eastlo, where llenry was vigorously pushing the loan of oUO.OOO crowns for .Mary's dower. the only business of state in which at that time he took any active interest. Subsequently, as you know, he hoAOI..A I.. *h? .1! 1 infMV'iru in in'* un im r jii w k and tin* various methods whereby a uian, specially a kli g, might rid himself of a distasteful wife, and after he sate the truth in .Vnno lloleyu's eyes he adopted a eoinbined poliey of ehureh and state (raft that has brought us a deal of senseless troubto ever since a#nd is like to keep It tip. As to Mary's dower, Henry was to pay TiOuis only 4U0,0t)0 crowns, but he made the marriage an excuse for an extra KiO.OuO to be devoted to his own private use. Whet) we arrived at the palace the girls wont to their apartments and I to mine, where I found Itramloii reading. There was only one window to our common room?a dormer window .set into the roof and reached by a little passage as broad as the window itself and perhaps a yard and a half long. In the alcove thus formed was a bench along the wall, cushioned by Urandon's great campaign cloak. In this window we often sat and read, and here was Itrandon with his hook. I had Intended to tell him the girls were coming. for when Mary asked me if I thought he would come to her at the palace, and whet) 1 had again said no, she reiterated her intention of going to him at onee; but my courage failed mo and I did n??t speak of it. I knew Hint Mary ought not to come to our room, nml that if news of It should ranch the king's oars them would ho mom and worse trouble than over, and as usual llrandon would pay the penalty for all. Then again, if it were discovered it might seriously nunpromise both Mary and .lane, as the world is full of people who would rather say an.l believe an evil thing of another than to say their prayers or to believe Ilie holy creed. I had said as much to the I.ady Mary when she expressed her determination to go to Itraiidon. She had been in the wrong so mueli of late that she was humbled* and I was bravo enough to say whatever I felt, but she snhl she had thought it all over, ami as every one was away from Oreenwieh It w on Id not ho found out If Ooiio secretly.

Jane f and I had remained near the door, anil i poor Mary was a pitiable princess, l standing there so full of doubt in the 1 1 middle of the room.

' She Lung hi r head a moiuesil In si- ^ lence, then, looking sit him. almost 8 ready for tears, continued: "A man has no right to speak in that way of a woman whose little favors he has taken, and make her regret that she has given a gift only that it may recoil upon her. 'Little.' did I say? %Sir, do you know what that lirst kiss was to me? Mad J I possess; <1 all the crowns of all the (i mrtli I wou'tU have given thein to you a willingly.
