It seemed that she was climbing higher and higher all the time from Brandon, but in her heart every day she was brought nearer to him. There was one thing that troubled her greatly, aqd all the time, llenry had given his word that Brandon should be Jlbernted as soon as Mary bad left tho Shores of England, but we bad heard po thing of this matter, although vo hod t*?elved several letters from homo.

At last I received a letter from Brandon, which had been delayed along the road, containing one for Mary. It told of his full pardon and restoration to favor, greater even tlian before, and her Joy was so sweet and quiet and yet so softly delirious that I tell you plainly it brought tears to my eyes, and I could not hold them back. The marriage, when once determined upon, had not cast her down nearly so deep as I had expected, and soon she grew to be quite cheerful and happy. This filled me with regret, for I thought of how Hrnndon must suffer, and felt that her heart was a poor, flimsy thing to take this trouble so lightly. 1 spoke to Jane'about it, but she only laughed. "Alary Is all light," said she. "Do not fear. Matters will turn out better than you think, perhaps. You know she generally manages to have her own way in the end." "If you have any comfort to give, please give it, .lane. I feel most keenly for Hrandon. heart tied to such q wIU, ful, changeable creature as Mary."

So I took comfort on faith from her nnd asked, "Do you remember what you said should bappeu before we return to England?" Jane hung her head. "I remember." "Well?" She then put her hand in mine nnd murmured, "I am ready any tint6 you wish." Great heaven! I thought I should go out of uiy senses. She should have told me gradually. I had to do something to express my exultation, so I walked over to a bronze statue of Bacchus, about my size?that is, height ?put my hat, which 1 had been carry- I ing under my arm, on his head, cut a few capers in an entirely new and equally antic step, and then drew back and knocked that Bacchus down. Jane thought I had gone stark mad, nnd her eyes grew big with "wonder, hut I walked nroudlv hack to her after my victory over Raechus aiul reassured her?with 'a few of Mary's messages that I had still left over. If the truth must be told. Then we made arrangements that resulted in our marriage next morning. Accoidingly Queen Mary and one or two others went with us down to a little church, where, as fortune would have it. there was a little priest ready to join together in the holy bonds of wedlock little Jane and little ine?everything so appropriate, you see. I suppose in the whole world we couldn't have found another set of conditions so harmonious. Mary laughed and cried and laughed again, and clapped her hands over and over, and said It was "like a play wedding." and, as she kissisl Jane, quietly slipped over her head a beautiful diamond necklace that was worth full ?10,000?aside, that Is, from the millions of actual value because it caino from Mary.
