Miss Duncan“ Gus“ Touche: M. M. II. u 3031.me W. F. DUNN. Mary found the king playing cards with. De Longueville. There was a roomful of courtiers, and as she en- tered she was the target for every eye, but she was on familiar ground now and did not care for the glances ; nor the observers, most of whom she ‘ despised. She was the princess again and full of self confidence, so she went straight to e object of her visit, the king. She had not made up her mind just what to say first, there was so much, but Henry saved her the trou- ble. He, of course, was in a great rage and denounced Mary’s conduct as un- natural and treasonable. the latter, in Henry’s mind, being a crime many times greater than the breaking of all the commandments put together in one tell, composite act. ‘All this the ting had communicated to Mary by the lips of Wolsey the evening before, and Mary had received it with a silent scorn that would have withered any one but the worthy bishop at York. As I said, when Mary approached her brother he saved her the trouble of de- ciding where to begin by speaking first himself, and his words were or a part with .his nature, violent, cruel and vul- gar. He abused her and called her all the vile names in his ample vocabu- lary of billingsgate. The queen was present and aided and abetted with s ‘ word now and then, until Henry, with , her help, at last succeeded in working 3 himself int. a to“ ering passion and wound up by calling Mary a vile wan- toninplainertermsthanlliketo write. .This slowed '11) .the unmo- A . a}. ; cannot sa: 3].; the math the warrant for the execution and the houdsmnn had sharpened his ax and could almost count the golden fee for his butchery. The trouble in her mind growing out of a lack of news from Brandon was of a general nature, and the possibility of his death had no place in her thoughts. Nevertheless for the second time Bran- don had been condemned to die for her sake. The king's seal had stamped It never occurred to Mary that Bran- don might suffer death for attempting to run away with her. She knew only too well that she alone was to blame, not only for that but for all that had taken place between them, and never for one moment thought that he might be punished for her fault, even admit- ting there was fault in any one, Which she was by no means ready to do. Upon arriving at the palace the girls were left to themselves, upon Mary's promise not to leave her room. but by the next afternoon she, having been unable to learn anything concerning Brandon, broke her parole and went out to see the king. Jane met Mary at Windsor, and of coprse there was a great flood of tears. The girl’s fair name was of course lost, but, fortunately, that goes for lit- tle with a princessâ€"since no one would believe that Brandon had protected her against himself as valiantly and honor- ably as he would i gainst another. The princess being nmeh more unsophisti- cated than the eourtiers were ready to believe never thought of saying any- thing to establish her innocence or vir- tue, and her silence was put down to shame and taken as evidence against her. On the second morning after leaving Bristol Brandon reached London and. as he expected, was sent to the Tower. The next evening Lady Mary arrived and was taken down to Greenwich. She did not understand the conse- QUences for Brandon, nor that the fates Would have to change their purpose Very quickly or something would hap- pen worse even than his marriage to another woman. Here again was trouble for Mary. She felt, however. that the two great ouestions. the marriage of herself to Louis, and Brandon to any other per.- son, were, as she called it, “settled,” and was almost content to endure this as a mere putting off of her desires. a meddlesome and impertinent interfer- ence of the fates, who would soon learn with whom they were dealing and amend their conduct. CHAPTER XVIII. TO TIIE TOWER. HETHER or not Brandon would have found some way to de- liver the princess safely home and still make his escape I cannot say. as he soon had no choice in the matter. At midnight a body of yeomen from the Tower took possession of the Bow and String and carried Brandon off to London without commu- nication with Mary. She did not know of his arrest until next morning. when she was informed that she was to fol- low immediately. and her heart was nearly broken. He knew that a debt to folly bears no grace. and was ready with his prin- cipal and usance. Brandon might have escaped from England in the Royal Hind. for the wind had come up shortly after they left the ship. and they could see the sails indistinctly through the gloom as she gbt under way. But he could not leave Mary alone, and had made up his mind to take her back to London and march straight into the Jaws of death with her it the king’s men did not soon come. - “I will gladly swear by everything 1 1 hold sacred that no other woman than 5 you shall ever be my wife. It I cannot ills" you, be sure you have spoiled 5 every other woman for me. There is but one in all the world-but one. I can at least save you that pain.” . She then stood on tiptoes to lift her . lips to him and said: “I give you the gsame promise. How you must have muttered when you thought I was to wed another." After a pause she went on: “But it might have been worseâ€"that is, it would be worse it you should marry some other woman; but that is all set- tled now and I feel easier. Then I might have married the old French king, but that, too, is settled, and we can endure the lesser pain. It always helps us when we are able to think it might have been worse.” I, too, saw it, and he avoided me in every wayhe could, knowing the trou- ble it held for us both. Oh, he was the wiser! And to think to what I have brought him. Brother, let me die for him-I who alone am to blame. Take my life and spare himâ€"spare him! He was the wiser, but I doubt if all the wisdom in the world could have saved us. He almost insulted me once in the parkâ€"told me to leave~when it hurt him more than me, I am now sure, but he did it to keep matter: from growing worse between us. I tried to remember be with him. At first he was gentle and kind, but soon, I think, he saw the dawning danger in both our hearts, as “You shall not kill him. He. is blame- less. You do not know. Drive these aawking fools out of the room. and I will tell you all.” The king ordered the room cleared of everybody but Wolsey, Jane and myself, who re- nialned at Mary's request. When all were gone. the princess continued: “Brother, this man is in no way to blame. It is all my faultâ€"-â€"my fault that he loves -me. my fault that he tried to run away to New Spain with me. It ; may be that I have done wrong and 1 that my eonduet has been unmaidenly, but I could not help it. From the. first lime I ever saw him in the lists with you at Windsor there was a gnawing hunger in my heart beyond my control. I supposed of course that day he would contrive some way to be presented to me"- “You did?” “Yes. but he made no effort at all, and when we met he treated me as it I were an ordinary girl." “He did?” “Yes.” “Horrible.” Mary was too intent on her story to need the sarcasm, and eontinued: “That made me ail the more interested in him, since it showed that he was dif- ferent from the wretches who beset you and me with their flattery, and I soon began to seek him on every occa- sion. This is an unmaidenly history I am giving, I know. but it is the truth and must be told. I was satisfied at first it I could only be in the same room with him and see hislace and hear his voice. The very air he breath- ed was like an elixir for me. I made every excuse to have him near me. I asked him to my parlorâ€"you know about thatâ€"and-and did all I could to . -..â€" _â€".â€"-â€"_-â€"._____â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"__ “I~:olwudâ€"-quuNorâ€"bridge! Lord Je- su!” She could not grasp the thought. She trim] to spook, but the words would not come. In a moment she be- czuno more coherent, and the words rollod from her lips as a mighty flood tide pours back through the arches of London bridge. We will take you up to London in a day or two and lot you see his beauti- ful bond on the bridge.” “I think we will." responded Henry. "It usually has that offmrt. to separate the hmul from the body and quarter the remains to dworatu the four gates. With a look of torrorjn her eyes Mary screamed: “What! Charles Bran- :loxrâ€"vaor llill?â€"-You are going to kill him?” “W'e will thank him publicly on Tow- er hill day. after tmnormw at noon,” said the king, with his accustomed dei- icacy, breaking the news of Brandon's sentence as abruptly as possible. “I suppose, after all, you are partly right in regard to me, for it was his honor that saved me, not my own. and if I am not what you called me I have Master Brandon to thankâ€"not myself.” H “It is all very well for you to laugh, but Master Brandon would not tell you a lie for your crown.” Gods! I could have fallen on my knees to a faith like that. “What I tell you is true. I trust- ed him so completely that the fear of dishonor at his hands never suggested itself to me. I knew he would care for and respect me. I trusted him, and my trust was not misplaced. Of how many of these creatures who laugh when the king lallghs could I say as much?" And Henry knew she spoke the truth, both concerning herself and the court- lets. say, that what I have done will lose me my fair nameâ€"I had never thought of it in that lightâ€"but it is also true that I am innocent and have done no wrong. You may not believe me, but you can ask Master Brandon”-â€"here the king gave a great laugh. and of course the eourtiers joined in. She hung her head for a moment and then ‘gpoke: “It may be true, as you Even Henry saw her innocence in her genuine surprise. She was silent for a little time, and I, standing close to her, could plainly see that this phase of the question had never before presented it- self. “-1! running off in male attire and stopping at inns and boarding ships with a common captain of the guard doesn’t Justify my accusation and stamp you what you are, I do not know what would.” Henry looked at Mary with the stare of a baited bull. This was hitting Henry hard, for it was beginning to be the talk in every mouth that he was leaving all the at- fairs of state to Wolsey and spending his time in puerile amusement. “The toward hope which at all poyntes ap- peared in the younge Kynge” was be- ginning to look, after all, like nothing more than the old time royal cold fire, made to consume but not to warm the nation. nlsm in the girl, and there was plenty ‘ or it. She feared Henry no more than she feared me. Her eyes flashed a fire that made even the king draw back as she exclaimed: “You give me that name and expect me to remember you are my brother? There are words that make a mother hate her firstborn, and that is one. Tell me what I have done to deserve it? I expected to hear at in- gratitude and disobedience and all that. but supposed you had at least some traces of brotherly feelingâ€"tor ties of blood are hard to breakâ€"even it you have of late lost all semblance to man or king.” \Vith downcast eyes she continued: “I guess so." said the young man who had dropped in. “I want one of those disappearing hats you wear when vou o to the opera. Got any?" , Knew What He Wanted. “Can I show you anything?” asked the young man behind the counter at the hat store. The Chinese have cut jade for ages, but never ornamented it except by sculpture. When it was introduced in- to india. the native jewelers. with their quick eye for color, at once saw what a perfect ground it afforded for mount- ing precious stones, and they were the first to incrust them on jade. The In- dia museum in London possesses the choicest specimens of this work known of the best mogul period. Skyrocket: Before Gunpowder. It matters very little in the long run to the. small boy when. how or where fireworks were first made and of what they are made now. But the fact rec mains that the despised heathen Chi- nese first made them and used them and that civilized communities did not know of them until the fourteenth cen- tury. The skyrocket was first invented toward the close of the ninth century and at that time was used. so ittis said. in lmlia and China in war. That was long before the invention of gunpow- der. “I am glad to learn that you knew nothing of it,” said Henry, addressing me, and I was glad, too, for him to loarn..it, you may be sure. “Oh, no! Neither he nor Jane knew anything of it. We were afraid they might divulge. it.” Shade of Sapphirn! A lie is a pretty good thing, too, now and then. and the man who says that word of Mary’s was not a blessed lie must fight me with lance, battleax. sword and dagger till one or the other of us bites the dust in death, he he great or small. I thought my day had come, but Mary’s wit was equal to the occasion. With an expression on her face of the most dovelike innocence she quickly said: Ah! Holy Mother! I knew what was coming now and actually began to shrivel with fright. The king contin- ued. “I suppose he helped you to es- cape?” 1 thoughtful. half vicious, inquiring stare that I did not like. I wondered what was coming next. but my curios- .‘ty was more than sn isfied when the sing asked, “So (‘nskmlon was present at all your intvrvimvs?” I noti< ed that Henry’s mind had wan- lvrod from what Mary was saying and that his eyes were fixed upon me with I answered “No,” and she Went on: “Besides, I do not iwlicve much in signs and passes.

The highest point he ever reached was admiration. often quite extravagant for a time, but usu- ally short lived, as naked admiration is apt to be. If he had affection for any one, it was for Mary. He could not but see the justice of his 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. “No. by heaven, your majesty!" said Wolsey. who really had a kindly feel- ing for Brandon and would gladly save his lite if by so doing he would not in- terfere with any of his own plans and interests. Wolsey’s heart was naturally kind when it cost him nothing. and much has been related of him which. to say the least. tells a great deal more than the truth. Ingratitude always re- colls upon the lngrate. and Henry’s loss was greater than Wolsey’s when Wol- sey fell. no excuse and hear no reason.
