IIo was sliuply an animal so absorbed in himself that he could not fool for others. "Oh. It Is out at last!" he said with a laugh. "1 thought all this sweetness must have been for something..

This brought Mary to terms quickly enough. 11 touched her one vulnerable spot?her love. "1 will go; I promise it ngnin. You shall never boar another word that no harm shall eonio to him?to him." And she put her hands over her face to conceal her tears as she softly wept. "The day you sail for France Brandon shall go free and shall again have his old post nt court I like the fellow as a good companion, and really believe you arc moro to blame than he." "I am all to blame, and am ready this B day to pay the penalty. I am at your disposal to go when and where you choose," answered Mary most pathetically. k.'

That evening Cavendish took mo aside and said his master, Wolsey, wished to speak to mb privately at a convenient opportunity. So when the bishop left his card table an hour later I threw myself in his way. IIo spoke gnyly to me, nud we walked down the corridor arm in arm. I could not imagine what was wanted, but presently it came out: "My dear Cnskodcn"?had v I been one for whom he could have had any use I should have grown fluspl ? clous?"my dear Cnskodcn, I know I can trust you; especially when that ? which I have to say is for the happiness of your friends.

I did not kuow what was coming, but gave liim the strongest assurance^ of my trustworthiness. "It Is this; Louis of France Is little IDeiter man n nena man. iving tienry, perhaps, is not fulljr aware of this, and if he is he lias nevor considered the probability of his speedy death.

"My lord," I replied, quickly grasping the point. "It is small wonder you rule this laud. You have both brain and "I thank you, Sir Edwin, and hope that both may always he at the serv? ice of you and your friends." I gave the suggestion to Mary as my ftwn, recommending that she proffer |ifr request to the king in the presence pf Wolsey, and, although she had .little faith or hope, she determined to try. __?

We must give her her own way in something." Mary was such a complete picture of n wretchedness that I thought at the time she had really found a tender spot ^ in Henry's heart, for he gave the prom- ^ ise. Since then I have learned, as you j will shortly, that it was given simply to paell'y the girl, and without any intention whatever of its being kept, * but that, in case of the death of King Louis, Ilenry intended again to use his sister to his own advantage. To*be a beautiful princess is not to s enjoy the bliss some people imagine. 1 The earth is apt to open at any time * and Pluto to snatch her away to?the Lord knows where. Mary again poured out her soul on F paper?a libation Intended for Brandon. 8 I made a dozen attempts in as many different ways to deliver her letters, b but every effort was a fnilure, and this 11 missive met the fate of the others. De Longuoville kept close watch on his d master's rival and complained to Hen- ^ ry about these attempts at communion- * tion. Henry laughed and said he would * see that they were stopped, but paid no more attention to the matter. n If Mary, before her interview with J Ilenry, had- been averse to tlio French * marriage, she was now equally anxious to hurry it on, and longed to go v upon the rack in order that Brandon ? might be free. lie, of course, objected R as strenuously as possible to the pur- t chase of bis life by her marriage to Louis, but ills better judgment told 11 him?in fact, had told him from the b first?that she would be compelled v eventually to marry the French king, " and common sense told him if it must ^ be she might as well save his life at b the same time. Furthermore, lie felt a J certain sense of delight in owing his t life to her, and knew thnt the fact that n she had saved him, that her sacrifice v had not all been in vain, would make b it easier for iter to bear. ti The most beautiful feature of the ro- '! lations between these two lovers was r their entire faith In each other. The k way of their true love was at least not roughened by cobblestones of doubt, 1 however impassnblo it was from moun- o tains of opposition. C My inability to deliver Mary's letters 1 did not deter her from writing them, e and as she was to be married in a few days?De Lomrueville to act as Droxv? she devoted her entire time to her let- 0 ters nnd wrote pages upon pages, which she left with me to be delivered "after death," ns she called her marriage. At this time I was called away from court for n day or two, nnd when I returned and called upon Brandon at the Tower I found him whistling and singing, apparently ns happy ns a lark, j "You heartless dog!" thought I at n first, but I soon found that he felt more than happiness?exaltation. c "Ilnve you seen her?"

She, too, laughed and sang and was so happy that sho lighted the wholo room. What did it all mean? There was but one explanation.

Then he returnedljh) Abuyle by a secret waye. & she was with greate trlumphe, procession & paglantes receyued into the toune of i Abuyle the VIII day of October by the I Dolphin, which receyued her with greate ! honor.

With Brandon ti the Tower under guard both day nd night, and Mary as closely guarded 11 the palace, 1 could not see any way f escape for cither of them, nor how hey could possibly have come together. .Brandon had not told me, I supposed, or fear of being overheard, and Mary, It hough she had the opportunity, was qunlly nonconnnunicative, so I had ocourse to Jane upon the first occuion. She. by the way, was as blue nd sad faced as Mary was Joyous. I sked her if the princess and Brandon ad met, and she sadly said: "I do not now. We went'"down to London yeserday, and as wo returned stopped t Bridewell House, where we found he king and Wolsey. The princess !?ft the room, saying she would return n a few minutes, and then Wolsey rent ouf, leaving mo alone with the ing. Mary did not return for half an tour, and she may have seen Master trandon during that time. I do not indcrstaud how the meeting could avc occurred, but that is the only time he has been away from me." Here lane deliberately put her head on my houlder and began to weep piteously. "What is the trouble?" I asked. She shook her head: "I cannot, dare lot. tell yon." "Oh. but you must, you must!" And insisted so emphatically that she at ength said: "The king!" "The king! God in heaven, Jane; tell io quickly!" When urged, Jane said between her obs: "lie tried to kiss me and to?misrent me when Wolsey loft the room at tridewc'll House. I may luivo been isod to detain him while Mary met luster Brandon; but, if so, I am sure he knew nothing of it." "And what did you do?" "I struggled away from him and natched this dagger from my breast, riling him that if lie took hut one step oward nie I would plunge it iu my icart, and lie said I was a fool." "God keep you always a fool!" said I irayerfully. "How long lias this beou ;oing on?" "A month or two. But I have always icon able to run away from him. He ius been growing more Importunate of ale, so I bought a dagger that very ay and had it not one hour too soon." Vitli this she drew out a gleaming lltle weapon that liashed iu the rays of he candle. This was trouble in earnest for ine, nd I showed it very plainly. Then ane timidly put her hand in mine for he llrst time In her life niul niurniurcd: "We will ho married, Edwin, if you rish, before we return from France," ihe was glad to fly to me to save lierelf from Ilenry, and I was glad even o be the lesser of two evils. As to whether my two friends n\et or ot that day at Bridewell I cannot say, lit I think they did. They had in somo fay come to an understanding that ghtened both their hearts beforo lary left for France, and this had eon their only posstblo opportunity, ane and I were always taken into heir confidence on other occasions, but s to this meeting, if any there was, re have never been told a word. My ellef Is that the meeting was conrived by Wolsey upon a solemn promse from Brandon and Mary never to eveal It, and If so they have sacredly opt their word. On the 13th of August, 1,114, Mary Tutor, with her golden hair falling ver her shoulders, was married at Ireenwlch to Louis de Valols, De iOnguevlllo acting as his French inajsfy's proxy.
