Site had threatened Jane with all j sorts of vengeance if she divulged her ' secret, and Jane was miserable enough I between her fears on either hand, for Mary , though the younger, held her in I complete subjection. Despite her fear of Mary, Jane asked me to go to London and follow them at a distance, unknown to the princess. I was to be on duty that night at a dance given in honor of the French envoys who had just arrived, bringing with them commission of special ambassador to De Longueville to negotiate the treaty of marriage, and it was impossible for me to go. Mary was going partly to avoid this ball, and her willful persistency made Henry very angry. 1 regretted that I could not go, but 1 promised Jane I would send Brandon In my place, and he would answer the purpose of protection far better than I. I suggested that Brandon take with him a man. but Jane, who was in mortal fear of Mary, would not listen to it. So it was agreed that Brandon should meet Jane at a given place and learn the particulars, and this plan was carried out. Brandon went up to Loudon and saw Jane, and before the appointed time hid himself behind a hedge near the private gate through which the girls intended to take their departure from Bridewell. They would leave about dusk and return, so Mary said, before it grew dark. The citizens of London at that time paid very little attention to the law requiring them to bang out their lights, and when it was dark it was dark. Scarcely was Brandon safely ensconsed behind a clump of arbor vitae when whom should lie see coming down the path toward the gate hut his grace, the Duke of Buckingham. He was met by oue of the Bridewell servants who was in attendance upon the princess. “Yes. your grace, this is the gate,” said the girl. “You can bide yourself and watch them as they go. They will pass out on this path. As I said. I do not know where they are going. I only overheard them say they would go out l e' ■ 1 ’ r “I'cs, your grace, this is the gate." at this gate just before dark. I am I sure they go on some errand of gallantry, which your grace will soon j learn. I make no doubt.” He replied tuat be would take care cf that. Brandon did not sec where Bucking- ■ ham hid himself, but soon the two innocent adventurers came down the path attired in the short skirts and bon- ! nets of orange girls and let themselves out at the gate. Buckingham followed i them, and Brandon quickly followed - him. The girls passed through a little postern in the wall opposite Bridewell House and walked rapidly up Fleet i ditch, climbed Ludgate hill, passed Paul’s church, turned toward the river down Bennett hill, to the left on : Thames street, then on past the bridge. ! following Lower Thames sticct to the I neighborhood of Fish street hill, where they took an alley leading up toward East Cheap to Groucbe's house. It was n brave thing for the girl to do and showed the determined spirit that dwelt In her soft white breast. Aside from the real dangers, there was enough to deter any woinuu. I should think. Jane wont all the way over, but Mary never flinched. There were great mudholes where one sank ankle deep, for no one paved the street nt that time, strangely enough, preferring to pay the sixpence line per square yard for leaving it undone. At one place, Brandon told mo. a load of liny blocked the streets, compelling them to squeeze between the houses and the hay. He could hardly believe the girls had passed that way. ns ho had not always been able to keep them in view, but bad soinetiines to follow them by watching Buckingham He. however, kept as close as possible and presently saw them turn down Grouche s alley and enter bis house. Upon learning where they had stop ped. Buckingham hurriedly took him»olf off. and Brandon waited for the girls to come out. It seemed n very long time that they were In the wretched place, itixl darkness lad well do acended upon London when they emerged. Mary soon noticed Hint a men was

And to think, too, that I came here only to learn the worst! Shall we ever get home alive, do you think?” They hurried on. the man behind them taking less care to remain unseen than be did when coming. Mary's fears grew upon her as she heard his step and saw bis form persistently following them, and she clutched Jane by the arm. : •'lt is all over witli us. 1 know. 1 would give everything 1 have or ever expect to have on earth for for Master Brandon at this moment.” She thought of him as the one person best able to defend her. This was only too welcome an opportunity. and Jane said: "That is Master Brandon following us. If we wait a few seconds, he will be here.” And she called to him before Mary could interpose. Now this disclosure operated in two ways. Brandon's presence was, it is true, just what Mary had so ardently wished, but the danger and therefore the need was gone when she found that the man who was following them had no evil intent. Two thoughts quickly flashed through the girl's mind. She was angry with Brandon for having cheated her out of so many favors and for having slighted her love, as she bad succeeded in convincing herself was the case, all of which Grouche had confirmed by telling her he was false. Then she had been discovered in doing what she knew she should have left undone and what she was anxious to conceal from every one. and. worst of j
