And with a sweeping courtesy be walked quickly down the path. “The insolent wretch:" cried one. "He ought to hold papers on the pillory." sald another. "Nothing of the sort." broke in sensible. fearless little Jane. "1 think the Lady Mary was wrong. He could not have known her by inspiration." "Jane is right,” exclaimed Mary, whose temper, if short, was also short lived and whose kindly heart always set her right if she but gave it a little time. Her faults were rather those of education than of nature. “Jane is right. It was what I deserved. I did not think when 1 spoke and did not really mean it as it sounded. He acted like a man and looked like one, too, , when lie defended himself. I warrant the pope at Rome could not run over him with impunity. For once I bare found a reai live man. full of manliness. I saw him in the list, at M indsor a week ago, but the king said his name was a secret, and I could not learn it. He seemed to know you. Jane Who is he? Now tell us all you know. The queen can wait.” And her majesty waited on a girl’» curiosity. I had told Jane all I knew about Brandon, so she was prepared with full information and gave it. She told the princess who he was. of bis terrible duel with Judson, his bravery a::d adventures in the wars, his generous gift to his brother and sisters, and, lastly. “Sir Edwin says !..■ is the best read man in the court and the bravest, truest heart in Christendom.” After Jane's account of Brandon they all started by a roundabout way ter the marble landing. In a few mom< ats whom did they se,' coming toward them down the path but Brandon. who had delivered his message and continued his walk. When be saw whom he was about to meat, he quickly turned in another direction. The Lady Mary had seen him. however. and told Jane to run forward and bring him to her. She soon overtook him and said: “Master Brandon, the princess wishes to see you." then maliciously: “You will suffer this time. I assure you she is not used to such treatment. It was glorious, though, to see you resent such an affront. Men usually smirk and smile foolishly and thank her when she smites them." Brandon was disinclined to return. “I am not in her highness' command." he answered, "and do not care to go back for a reprimand when 1 am in no way to blame." “Oh. but you must come. Perhaps she will n< t scold this time ” And she put her hand upon his arm and laughingly drew him along. Brandon nt eonrse had to submit when led by so sweet a eaptor-anylxsiy would. So fresh and fair «nd lovable was Jane | that I am sure anything masculine , must have given way. Coming tip to the’ princess and her i ladies, who were waiting, Jane said. Lady Mary, let me present Master Brandon, who. if be has < ffended in any way. humbly «ue« for pardon.” That was the one thing Brandon had no notion on earth of doing, but he let t go as Jane had put it, and this was uls reward: •It is not Master Brandon who for pardon." responded the I ii"-- It is I who was wrong I blush for what I did and said Forgive Bic. sir. and let us start ane-v." \ t t j lta she steppe,] llp to Brandon and offerM ’S. ro k ± ( . k.. j< d ujuet gallantly. tour highness yo u e fln well afford to offend when you have so sweet 3 •A ? nt for nnikll ’« "‘n-uds A wrong acknowledged,' as some one

Then she breathed a soft little sigh -.f tribulation as they walked on. "1 know It must be a task to le z >xl when everybody flatters even one's shortcomings." said Brandon and then tontinued in away that. 1 an. frw to confess, was something priggish "it is almost impossible for us to see out own faults even when others .re kind enough to point them out. for they are right ugly things and unpleasant to look upon. Rut, lacking th-- outside , monitors, one must all the more cultivate the habit of constant inlooiuiig and self examination. If we re only brave enough to confront our txuia ■ and look them In the face, ugly as they are. we shall lie sure to over- .gie the worst of them. A striving to • rd good will achieve nt least a part of it." "Oh!" returned the princess. "But what is gtx-d and what is wrong?
