This aroused all the antago-l nlsm in the girl, and there was plenty I of it. She feared llenry no more than I she feared ine. Her eyes (lashed a flrel that made even the king draw backl as 'she exclaimed: "You give me tliatl nntnp uml exneet me to remember youl are ray brother?

The highest i>olnt he j ever reached was admiration, often j quite extravagant for a time, but usually short lived, as naked admirntiou is apt to be. If he had affection for any | one, it was for Mary. lie could not but j see the justice of ids sister's position, but he had no intention of allowing justice in the sense of right to interfere with justice in the sense of the king's will. _ "You have been playing the devil at a great rate,'* he said.

"Perhaps you are right," returned r Henry. 0 Then spoke Mary, ad unconscious qf her girlish egotism: "Of course Jio had . not. Master Brandon could not help 1 if?which was true beyond all doubt. . Henry laughed at her naivete, and Wolsey's lips wore a smile as lie plucked tho king by tho sleeve and ^ took him over to the window, out of our hearing. IG Mary began to weep and show signs of increasing agitation. After a short whispered conversation | ^ the king and Wolsey came back, and the former said, "Sister, if I promise to give l'.rnmion ins lire will you consent " (loconlly and like a good girl to marry T/Ouia of France?" n' Mary almost screamed: "Yes, yes; c' Kindly.
