A mother of eighteen to a “good boy" of twenty-two! Dangerous relationship! And dangerous indeed it would have been for Mary had she not been as pure and true as she was willful and impetuous. “Mon beau tils" allowed neither his wife nor the respect he owed the king to stand in the way of his very marked attention to the queen. His position as heir and his long rcsir deuce at court, almost as son to Louis. gave him ample opportunities for press- ing his unseemly suit. He was the first to see Mary at the meeting place this side of Abbevllle. and Was the king’s representative on all occasions. “Beau his” was rather a handsome fellow, but thought himself vastly handsomer than he was, and had some talents, which he was likewise careful to estimate at their full value. to say the least. He was very well liked by women, and in turn considered himselt lrreSistible. He was very impression- able to feminine charms; was at heart a libertine, and, as he grew older, be- came a debauchee whose memory will taint France for centuries to come. Mary saw his weakness more clearly l than his wickedness, being blinded to the latter by the veil of her own inno- cence. She laughed at and with him. and permitted herself a great deal of his companyâ€"so much. in fact, that I i grew a little jealous for Brandon’s sake, and, if the truth must be told, for the first time began to have doubts of her.

I spoke to my wife, Jane, about the queen's conduct, and she finally admit~ ted that she did not like it, so I, unable to remain silent any longer, determined to put Mary on her guard. and for that purpose spoke very freely to her on the subject. “Oh, you goose!” she said laughingly. “He is almost as great a tool as Hen- ry.” Then the tears came to her eyes, and half angrily, half hysterically. shaking me by the arm, she continued: “Do you not know? Can you not see that I would give this hand or my eyes almost my life, just to {all upon my face in front of Charles Brandon at this moment?

Tell me! Tell me frankly; am I not? It is the one thing of good I have always strlven for. I am so full of other faults that it I have not that there Is no good in me.” Her eyes and voice were tall of tears, and I knew in my hart’that I stood before as pure :1 soul as ever came from the hand of God. ‘ “You are, your majesty: never doubt," I answered. “It is preemi- nently the one thing in womanhood to which all mankind kneels.” And I fell upon my knee and kissed her hand with a sense of reverence, faith and trust that has never left me from that day to this. As to my estimate of how Francis would act when Louis should die, you will see that I was right. Not long after this Lady Caskoden and I‘were given permission to return to England. and immediately prepared for our homeward journey. As we left, Mary placed in my hands a letter for Brandon, whose bulk was so reassuring that I knew he had never been out of her thoughts. I looked at the letter a moment and said, in all seriousness, “Your majesty, had I not better provide an extra box for it?” She gave a nervous little laugh. and the tears filled her eyes as she whisper- ed huskily: “I fancy there is one who will not think it too large. Goodby, goodby!" So we left Mary, fair. sweet girl queen, all alone among those ter- rible strangers. Alone with one little English maiden, seven years or age. Anne Boleyn. CHAPTER XXI. mrans most A QUEEN. PON our return to England 1 left Jane "down in Suffolk m with her ,uncle, Lord Boling- ":"“"*~ broke, having determined never to permit her to come within sight of King Henry again if I could prevent it. I then went up to London with the twofold purpose of seeing Brandon and resigning my place as master of the dance. When I presented myself to the king and told him of my marriage, he flew into a great passion because we had not asked his consent. One of his whims was that every one must ask his permission to do anythingâ€"to eat or sleep or say onc's prayers, especially to marry, it the lady was of a degree entitled to be a king’s ward. Jane, fortunately, had no estate, the king‘s tamer nzrnng stem: :1 rrom ner wnen she was an infant; so all the king could do about our marriage was to grumble. which I let him do to his heart’s con- tent. , A-_s-_n.. tculu “I wish also to thank your majesty for the thousand kindnesses gm have shown me,” I said. “and. although it grieves me to the heart to separate from you. circumstances compel me to tender my resignation as your master of dance." Upon this be was kind enough to express regret and ask me to reconsider, but I stood my ground firmly, and then and there ended my oaicial relations with Henry Tudor for- ever. Upon taking my leave of the king I sought Brandon. whom I found com- fortably ensconced in our old quarters, he preferring them to much more we tenuous apartments offered him in an- other part of the palace. The king had given him some new furnishings for them‘ and, as I was to remain a few 3 50¢. Bottle and Give it to You. Germ Diseases.

In fact, he afterward lived there many years, and, as Jane and I had purchased a little estate near by. which had been generously added to by Jane‘s uncle, we saw a great deal of him. But I am getting ahead of my story again. The D'Angouleme complication trou- i bled me greatly. notwithstanding my 1 faith in Mary. and although I had re- solved to say nothing to Brandon about it, I soon told him plainly what I thought and feared. . u an my farewell to individuality. There- after I was to be so mysteriously in. tel-mingled with Jane that I was only a part -and a small part at that. I fear â€"of two. I did not, of course, regret the change, since it was the one thing in life I most longed for, yet the period .789 tinged with a faint sentiment of pathos at parting tram the old life that an: leaving forever.

When I told Brandon of It. I dwelt wlth emphasis upon its bulk. and he. of course, was dellgbtqi and Impatient to have It. I had put the letter in the box, but there was some thing else which Mary had sent to hlm that I had carried with me. It was a m of money sufficient to pay the debt againSt his father's estate and, in ad- dition. to buy some large tracts of land adjoining. Brandon did not hesitate to accept the money and seemed glad that it had come from Mary, she, doubt- less. being the only person from whom he would have taken it. “Do not fear for flat]. I do not.

And I was compelled to admit that he cerulnly was not. One of Brandon’s datere had’ mar- ried a rich merchant at Ipswich. and another was soon to marry a Scotch gentleman. The brother would prob- ably never marry, so Brandon would eventually have to take charge of the "git-seems they had met. as Jane and I suspected, but how Mary manag- ed it I am sure I cannot tell. She beat the very deuce for having her own way, by hook or by crook. Then came the bulky letter, which Brandon pounc- ed upon and eagerly devoured. I leave out most of the sentimental passages. which. like eil'ervasoent wine. lose fla- vOr quickly. ‘She said, in part: To Master Brandon: Sir and Dear Friend. Greeting-After leaving thee. long time had I that mighty grief and dole within my heart that it was like to break, for my separation from thee was so much harder to bear even than I had taken thought of. and I also doubted me that I could live in Paris, as I did wish. Sleep rested not upon my weary eyes, and of a very deed could I neither eat nor drink, since food distasted me like a nausea and wine did strangle in my throat. This lasted through my journey hither, which I did prolong upon many pretexts nearly two months. but when I did at last rest mine eyes for the first time upon this King Louis' face I we“ knew that I could rule him. and when I did arrive and had adjusted my- self in this Paris I found it so easy that my heart leaped for very joy. Beauty goeth so tar with this inflammable people that easily do I rule them all. and truly doth a servile subject make a sharp. caprio clous tyrant.

There is yet another matter of which I wish to write in very earnestness. Sir Edwin spoke to me thereof. and what he said hath given e serious thought. I thank him for he words. of which he tell thee in full if thou but importune him thereto. It is this: The dauphin. Francis d’Angouleme, hath fallen dee- perately fond of me and is quite as im- portunate and almost as foolish as the elder lover. This people in this strange land of France have. in sooth, some curi- ous notions. For an example thereto. no one thinks to and anything unseemlng in the dauphin's conduct by reason of his having already a wife. and more, that wife the Princess Claude. daughter to the king. I laugh at him and let him say what he will, for in truth I am powerless to prevent it. Words cannot sear even a rose leaf and will not harm me. Then. by his help and example.

Surely no one could charge Brandon with possessing too modest tastes. , It was. I think. during the second week In December that 1 gave this let- ter to Brandon. and about a fortnight later here came to him a messenger from Paris. brinzhw number from \vâ€"-- -7- paying met. visit. and came to Ipswich, whence we sailed. The French king was dead before Mary's' message eeached London. and when we arrived at Paris Francis 1. reigned on the throne of his father-in- law. I had guessed only too accurate 1:.

AI noon as Brendon end I nrrivod in Peril we took printe iodginge. end well it was thnt we did.

VI “Ca V. A ..... .â€" When I saw the whole situation, with Mary nothing less than a prisoner in ' the palace, l was ready to give up ‘ 'Il . without a struggle. but not so Mary. Her brain was worth having. so ter- iile was it in expedients. and. while I was ready to despair. she was only getting herself in good fighting order. After Mary's refusal of Francis, and p after he had learned that the sacrifice is of Claude would not help him. he grew ‘ rt desperate and determined to keep the , English girl in his court at any price ‘ and by any means. So he hit upon the . W scheme of marrying her to his weak ‘1! minded cousin, the Count of Savoy. I To that end he sent a hurried embassy n to Henry VllI.. altering. in case of the 5, Savoy marriage. to pay back Mary’s ; dower of 400.000 crowns. He oflered to ' help Henry in the matter of the impe- : rial crown in case of Maximilian’s death. a help much greater than any King Louis could have given. He also : * oflorcd to eonnrm Henry in all his ' French possessions and t0 relinquish { all claims of his own theretoâ€"all as the 3 price of one eighteen-year-old girl. Do I you wonder she had an exalted esti- i g mate of her own value? As to Henry, it of course need not be said that half the price oflered would have bought him to break an on» name :upon the true cross itself. The promise he had made to Mary. broken in intent before it was given, stood m1 for an instant in 0? way of the French king's wishes, Vad Henry. with a promptitude begotten of greed. was as hasty in sending an embassy to accept the offer as Francis had been to make it. It mattered not to him what new torture he put upon his sister. The price, I believe. was suflicient to have induced him to cut oi! her head with his own hands. If Francis and Henry were quick in their movements. Mary was quicker. Her plan was made in the twinkllng of an eye. Immediately upon seeing me at the palace she sent for Queen Claude. with whom she had become fast friends. and told her all she Knew. She did not know or the scheme for the Savoy marriage. though Queen Claude did and rully explained it to Mary. Naturally enough. Claude would be glad to get Mary as far away from France and her husband as possible, and was only too willing to lend a helping hand to our purpose. or Mary’s. rather. toi- ahe was the leader. We quickly agreed among oureelVea that Mary and Queen Claude should within an hour so out in Claude’n new coach for the ostensible purpoee of hearing mans. Brandon and I were to go to the some little chapel in which Jane and I had been married. when new all! the little priest could admin- ister the sacrament of marriage and perform the ceremony as well an it he were thrice as large.
