There is a limit to the host of foml- I

' one word of all Hie tilings I wished
j to say."
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

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!"

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,

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,

to be emperor. Kiuperor! He would

1 should be able to induce him not to

that time great caution must be used,
as the king was anxious to conciliate
the city In order to procure a loan for
some purpose- my dower, I suppose.
"The duke said it should be as I
wished; that Master ltrandon should

forgiveness from any one, for 1 cannot

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

"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

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:

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

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

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.

at that time he took any active interest.

adopted a eoinbined poliey of ehureh
and state (raft that has brought us a
deal of senseless troubto ever since a#nd

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

growing dark, and ti e ro'-ni was quite

don sat reading, (tods, those were ex- ' j

looked up from his hook. You must re- j v
i member ho had a great grievance. 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. After a moment J t
| she stepped toward the window and, f
| with quick coining breath, stopped at
j the threshold of the little passage. j <
I "Master Brandon, 1 have conic, not to t
' make excuses, for nothing can excuse i i

I Brandon arose and. marking the , y

I lowed Mary, who had stepped hack- f

whom you care so little that; you could e
leave him to die like a do:*, when a
word from you would have saved him, "
what reason lun^* i to suppose they are n
not for every man;"
This gave Mary an opening of which
she was ijuiek enough to take advantage,
for Hrandon was in the wrong. v
"You know that is not true. You are c
not honest with me nor with yourself,
and tlint Is not like you. Ytu know that 11
no other man ever had, or could have, *
any favor from me, even the slightest.
Wantonness is not anion;: my thousand
faults. It is not that which angers
you. You are sure enough of ine in that j s
respect. In truth. I had almost come !
to believe you were too sure, that I luul ?

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.

She stood there, with head inclined a
little to olio fV.o, looking nt liim in- 1
11
quiringly as if awaiting iiii answer, lie
lid not speak, but looked steadily at
Ins book. I felt, however, that he was
