As to the elopeinent. It was deteir-' *
mined that Brandon should leuvc London
the following day for Brtfetol ortid
nmke nil Arrangements along the line.
He would carry with him two bundles,
his own and Mary's clothing, and leave |
them to l>o taken up when they should
go n-shlpboard. Light horses would
be procured, four to l>e left as a relay
at an Inn between Berkeley castle and
Bristol and four to be kept nt the rendesvous
soiue two leagues the other i
side of Berkeley for the use of Bran- I
don, Mary and the two men from Bris- j
tol who were to act as un escort on the
eventful night. There was one disagreeable
,little feature that wo could
not provide against' nor eutlrely eliminate.'
It was the fact that Jane and
I should be suspected as accomplices
before* the Diet of Mark's plupcnieubJ j
and, as you know, to assist In the nb- .
duction of a princess is treason, for ]
which tbere is l>ut one remedy. I j
thought I had a plan to keep ourselves i
snfe if I could only stille for tlie once i .
Jane's troublesome and vigorous tend- , ^
ency to preach the truth to all people
upon all subjects and at aJl times and
places. She promised to tell the story (
I should drill Into iter, but I knew the ' J
truth would seep out in a thousand | '
ways. She could no more hold it than
a sieve can hold water. Wo were playing
for great stakes, which, if I do say
It, none but the bravest hearts, bold
and daring as the truest knights of
chivalry,, would think of trying for? ;
nothing less than the running away ]
with the first princess of the first blood
royal of the world. Think of it! It
appalls me even now. Discovery meant
, dentil to one of us surely, Brandon;
possibly to two others, Jane and me,
certainly If Jaue's truthfulness should
become unmanageable, as It was apt
to do.
After we had settled everything wo
could think of the girls took their leave,
Mary slyly kissing Ilramlon at the
door. I tried to induce Jane to follow
her lady's example, but she was as
cool and distant as the new uioou.
The next day Brandon paid ids re
spects to the king nml queen, made his ;
adieus to his friends and rode off alone j
tp Brlslqj. You may be sure tlie king ' ,
showed 110 signs of undue grief at hia
departure. ,
CHAPTER XVI. ,
A ltAW4i?SU PAKTV. ,
A1 VEW duys after Brandon's i
departure, Mary, with the |
KAy-pf king's consent, organized a
small party to go over to
Windsor for n few weeks during the
warm weather, ,
Titer? were ten or twelve of us, 1m
eluding two chaperons, the old Karl of ,
Hertford and the dowager Duchess of
Kent, llenry might as well have sent
along a pair of spaniels to net as chap<
erons?It would, have taken an army
to guard Mary alone?and to tell you
the truth our old chaperons needed
watching more than any of us. It was

of gout, and when they made wry
faces It was a standing inquiry among
ps whether they were leering at eneli
fit hop op felt ft twinge?whether it was
their feet or theic hourly tbnt troubled
theuj.
Mary led them a pretty life at all
thhes, even at homo in the palace, and
I know they would rather liave gone
oil with a pack of imps than witli us.
fj'h* iqducoiuept was that it gave them
better opportunities jo ho together, a|}
arrangement connlyed at by the queen,
I think, and they were satisfied. The
car! had a wifo, but lie fancied the old
dowager ?od **)?e fancied liim, and
probably tho tylfe fancied gpipebody
else, so they wore all happy. It groalu
inUftcd the young people, you may
bo sure, aud Mary said, probably with*
out telling the exact truth, that every
night she played God to pity and for- '

eefs said she wis becoming manned.
5Sfccfr ffcilndm was so intetffe she feared'
Uflight .bo cpubigious and spread.
Then, .with aifibtft comical Seriousness,
slie added: _
"Moil Diet, Str Edwin, what It I
should catoiv*?^ Waster Charles would
not take me."No
danger of that, my lady. He Is
too devoted to see anything but beauty
in you, no matter how much you might
change." t "Do
you rejplly think so? He says
so little about It that sometimes V almost
doubt."
Therein she spoke the secret of Brandon's
success with lier, nt least In the
beginning, for there is wonderful potchcy
lu the stimulus of a healthy lib
Ue-tgubt.
We?'Jjad a delightful cantor over to
Windsor, I riding with Mary most of
the way. 1 was not averse to this arrangement,
as I not only ffcllshed Mary's
mirth and joyousness, which were
nt their height, but hoped I might give
my little Lady Jane a t\vlng6 or two
of Jealousy, perehnnee to fertilize her
seuliiiteiits toward me.
Mary talked and laughed and sang,
for her soul was a fountain of gladness
that bubbled up the instant pressure
avus removed. She spoke of llttlo
but our lust trip over this same road,
and. ns we passed objects on the wny,
told me of wlmt Brandon had said at
this place and tlmt,\ She laughed sad

was the most beautiful creature living,
but that, after all, "bonuty was as
beauty did."
"That made me angry," said she. "I
pouted for awhile and two or three
times was on the point of dismissing
Him, but tbouglit better of it find asked
bim plainly wherein 1 did so much
amiss. Then what do you think the
Impudent fellow said?"
"I cannot guess,"
"Ho Raid, 'Oh, thero In so much It
would tako a lifetime to toll It,'
"This made me furious, but I could
not answer, and a moment later he
paid, 'Nevertheless I should ho only
too glad to undertake the task.'
"The thought never occurred to either
of us then that he would he taken
at his word, Hold? I should think he
was! I never saw anything like ltl I
have not toid you a tenth part of what
he said to mo that day. lie said anything
he wished, and It seemed that I
could neither stop hltn nor retaliate.
Half tho time I was angry and half
the time amused, but by the time wo
reached Windsor there never was n.
girl more hopelessly and desperately In
love than Mnry Tudor." And she
laughed as If it were a huge Joke on
Mnry.
She continued: "That day settled
matters with me for all time. I don't
know how lie did It. Vcs, 1 do." And
die launched forth Into an accQunt of
(trandon's perfections, which 1 found
somewhat dull, and so would you.

Bpr and then, over the objections of our I
njiaporous, moved ou to Berkeley ens- i
He, wliero Margaret of Scotland
spending tiie summerWe
bad another beautiful ride up '
the dear old Thames to Berkeley, but
Mary had grown serious and saw none
ir,
On tho afternoon of the appointed
day the princess suggested a hawking
party, and Ave set out in the direction
of tho rendezvous. Our party consisted
of myself, three other gentleqpen
nnd three Indies besides Mary. Jnuo
did not go. I was afraid to trust her.
She wept nnd with difficulty forced
herself to say something about a headache,
but tho rest of the Inmates of
the castle of course had no thought
that possibly they wero taking their
last look upon Mary Tudor.
Think who this girl was wo wero

seems to have an especial care for fools,
wiiiic wise men are ion 10 care ror
themselves, and It tjoes look as If safety
lies In folly.'
We rode on and on, and although 1
took two occasions in (he presence of
others to urge Mary,to return, owing
to the approach off f)j?ftt and throng
enod rain, bho took in? ftJVIl head, as
overybpdy knew she aWays would,
apd continued tho hunt, ?

j "Tills Is my chance," she said. "I
j will run away from you now and lose

minutes, and I shall bo safe. (Joodby,

She flew her bird and galloped after U. ^

In chorus. "Whore Is the princess?"
I said she had gone off with her bhwk
and had loft jne to bring them after

the wrong scent. A short ride made
this apparent, when I come In for my

when, in fact, they wore the dupes. 1

horns lustily, but my object had been
accomplished,-and I knew that Within

saw her she would ho with Brandon ?,
on tlio road to Bristol, gaining on any
pursuit we could make at the rate of
three miles for two. We scoured the
forest far and near, but of course found
no trace. After a time rain set in and
one of the gentlemen escorted the ladies
home, while three of us remained
to prowl about the woods and roads ail
night in a soaking drizzle. The task
was tiresome enough for me. as it lacked
motive, and when we rode into
Berkeley castle next day a sorrier set
of bedraggled, rain stained, mud covered
knights you never raw. You may
know the castle was wijd with excitement.
There were nil sorts of conjectures,
hut soon wo unanimously concluded
it had been tlie work of highwaymen.
of whom the country was
full and by whom the princess had certainly
been abducted.
The chaperons forgot their gout and
each other, and Jane, who was the
most affected of all, had a genuine excuse
for giving vent to her grief and
went to bed?by far the safest place
ror nor.
What was to bo (lone? First, we sent
a message io the king, who would
probably have us all Hayed alive, a fear
I which the chaperons shared to the fullest
extent. Next, an armed party rode
I back to look again for Mary and, if
possible, rescue he r.
The fact that I had been out the entire
night before, together with the
email repute in which I was held for
deeds of arms, excused me from taking
part in this bootless errand, so again 1
profited by the small esteem In which
I was held. 1 say 1 profited, for I
Utoyed at tho castle with Jane, hoping
to find my opportunity in the absence
of everybody else. All the ladies but
Jane had ridden out, and the knights
who had been with me securing the
forest were sleeping, since they had not
my incentive to remain awake. They
had no message to deliver, no duty to
perform for an absent friend. A thousand:
Only think of it! I wished It
had been a million, and so faithful was
I to my trust that I swore In my soul
I would deliver them, every one.
And Jane loved me! No more walk1

Paris, Sept. 29.?Official advices
from St. Petersburg ipd|cate that General

with M. Witt, president of the council

of the Manehurian complications.
The change is considered significant
of a modification of the Russian military
policy in the far east and along
the Russian frontier In Europe, being
contemporaneous with a reduction of a
