L. Bumgartner and Sterling P. H denied. Two of the judges voted for the affirmative, one for the opposite. The exercises were liberally interspersed by choice selections rende red by the Linn Grove juvenile brass band, who are making rapid strides to the front in the music art. In all. the entertainment was a Dowling success with a hitch, bv reason of which, and also of a surplus of program. One more meeting is ordered fjr next Friday night.

After Vary bad wished the opening dance there was a great inatruction. The king asl ‘ ed . to teach him the steps, which be soon leareed to perform wuh a gntce perhaps eqiMled by no living creature o her than a fat brown bear Tfce ladies were at first a shy and inchned to stand nt arm s length, but Mary had set the fashion and the others soon followed I bad taken a fiddler to my room and bad leaned the dance from Brandon and was able to teach It also, though I ticked pre tire to fkkej 11 ? step perfect The prince® had needed no pra. tire, but had danced beautifully from the first, her strong young limbs and s-tpple body taking as naturally to anything requiring grace of movement as a cygnet to water. This, thought I. is my opportunity to teach Jane the new dance. I wanted to go *0 her first, but was afra.d. or for some reason did not. and took several other tidies as they came. -After I bad sbown the s: p to them 1 Bought out my sweetheart. Jane was not a prude, but I honestly believe she was the most provoking girl that ever lived. I never had succeeded In holding her band even the smallest part of an instant and yet I was sure she liked me very much-alinort sure she loved me She feared I might unhinge it and carry it away, or something of that sort. I suppose. When I went up and asked her to let me teach her the new dance, she said: “I thank you. Edwin, but there are others who are more anxious to learn than I, and you had better teach them first." “But I went to teach you. When I wish to tench them. I will go to them." “You did go to several others liefore you thought of coming to me." answered Jane, pretending to be piqued. Now. that was the unkindest thing I ever knew a girl to do refuse me what she knew I so wanted and then put the refusal on the pretended ground that I did not care much about it. I so told her, and she saw she had carried things tco far and that I was growing angry In earnest. She then made another false though somewhat flattering exruse “I could not tiear to go through that | dance before so large a company. 1 1 should not object so much if no one else 1 I could see—that is. with you. Edwin." “EdwinT’ Oh. so soft and sweet! The little jade: To think that she could hoodwink me so easily and talk me into a good humor with her soft, purring “Edwin:" I saw through it all quickly enough and left her without another word. In a few minutes she went into an adjoining room where I knew she was alone. The door was open, and the music could be heard there, so 1 followed. “My 1. dy. there is no one to see us here. I can teach you now, if you wish." said 1. She saw she was cornered, and replied. with a toss of her saucy little bead. “But what if I do not wish?” Now. this was more than I could endure with patience, so I answered, “My young lady, you shall ask me before I teach you " “There are others who can dance it much better than you." she returned. , without looking at me. “If you allow another to teach you : that dance." I responded, “you will have seen the last of me." She had made me angry, and I did not speak to her for more than a week. When 1 did-but I will tell you of that later on ; The evening was devoted to learning the new dance, and 1 saw Mary busily engaged imparting information among the ladies. As we were about to disperse I heard her say to Brandon: ! “You have greatly pleased the king I by bringing him a new amusement. ! He asked me where 1 learned It. and I I told him you had taught it to Casko deu and that I had it from him. I told Caskoden so that he can tell the same story " “Oh. but that Is not true. Don’t you think you should have told him the truth or have evaded It In some way?“ nskt-d Brandon, who was really a great I lover of the truth, “when iswuible." 1 but who, I fear, on this occasion wlab cd to aj.pca, mure uuilifui than no really was. If a man ti to a woman s

ful impositions are often practiced to this end. Mary flushed a little and answered -I can t help it. You do not know Had 1 ioid Henry that we four h a( j enjoyed such a famous time in a, rooms he would have been very angry and-and-you might have been tb« sufferer." “But might you not have com pto . miscd matters by going around the truth some way and leaving the | ffl . prcsslon that others were of the party that evening?" That was a mistake, for it gave Mary an opportunity to retaliate: "The b»4t way to go around the truth, as you call it, is by a direct lie. My lie was no worse than yours. But I did not stoi to argu? about such matters. There 1» something else 1 wished to say. I w-j-J to tell you that yon have greatly pleased the king with the new dance Now teach him ’honor and ruff and your fortune Is made. He haa tad some Jews ami Lombards in of late tc teach bjgi C'-w games at cards, but yours is worth all of them Thea somewhat fcastilv ami Irrelevs: rlr -| did not dance the new dance with any other gentleman, but 1 suppose y vu did net notice it." and she was gone before he could thank her. ,

CHATTER VI. A BARE HIDE TO WINDSOR. I rp 1' I 1 I rotter. A mu ! ’.c quicker reward f,, r i D . lAaas| venting an an>r«e:„. nt or j gaudy costume for the king than by winning Uim a battle. Later in life the bigL-.\.:.d to his favor was In ridding him of his wife and helping him to s new one, a dangerous way, though, as Wolsey found, to his sorrow. when be sank his glory in poor Anne Boleyn. Brandon took the hint and manage! to let It be known to his play loving king that he knew the latest French games. The French Due de Longuerille had for some time lieen an honored prisoner at the English court, bell as n hostage from Ixrais XII but lie Lougueville was a blockhead, who could not keep his little black eyes off our fair ladles, who hated him. lons enough to tell the deuce of spades from the a.t of hearts. So Brandon was taken from his duties, such as they were, and placed at the card table. Tills was fortunate at first, for. being tbe best player, the king always chose him as bis partner, and. as in every other game, the king always won. If be lost, there would soon be no game, and the man who won from him too frequently was in danger at any moment of being rated guilty of the very highest sort of treason. I think many a man's fall under Henry VIII was owing to the fact that be did not always allow the king to win in < me trivial matter of game or joust. Under these conditions every laxly was aniious to lx- the king's partner. It is true be frequently forget to divide his winnings. but his partner had this advantage at least—there was no danger <f losing. Tbnt being the case. Brandon’s seat opposite the king was very likely to exeite envy, and the time soon came, Henry having learned tbe play, when Brandon hnd to face some one else, and the seat was too costly for a man without a treasury. It tixik but a few days to put Brandon bora de combat financially. ami he would have been in a bad plight bad not Wolsey come to La d lief. After that !:e played and paid the king in his own coin. This great game of "honor and nifT occupied Henry's mind day and ui-'bt during u fortnight. He feasted upon It to satiety, ns he did with everything else, never having learned not to cloy his apfietite by overfeeding. So we saw little of Brandon while the king? fever lasted. and Mary said ►lie 4 she had remained silent about the cards. You see, she could enjoy ttii* new plaything as well as her brother, but the king, of course, must be satisfies! first. They both had enough eventually, Henry in one way, Mary in another. One day the fancy struck !'" kIM that he would rebuild a certain Imp'd Wo>d«nr. go he took a nuu'i" >r th* court. Including Mary. Jaue. Braudoa and myself, and went with us up to London, where we lodged over night st Bridewell House. The next morning's* bright and beautiful a June day •• ever gladdemx! tbe heart of a rose took horse for Windsor, a deligbtfßl seven league ride over a fair road Mary and Jane travelsxl side by sld*. , with an occasional companion or t’’ o ' as the road permitted. I was angry with June, as you know, »> did not ri near tbe girls, and Brandon, without *"/ apparent intention one wny or th« other, allowed events to adjust th'' ol •elves ami rode with Cavendish sud me.
