New York. April 11. —Bradstreet's weekly review of trade today says: Favorable f»atures this week are the annual rush of Easter buying at retail which is reported of excellent volume, some improvement in the reassorting demand with jobbers at interior mar kets resulting therefrom, and a slight > but still perceptible improvement in the labor situation, growing out of mutual concessions. Prices during the month of March showed exceptional strength, despite seasonable changes downward in dairy products, grains I and fuel, partly counteracted, however by advances in livestock and meats. Lumber and building materials of all ) kinds have remained in exceptionally > good demand In spite of numerous I strikes, and finished products in iron and steel show strength, but the cruder forms, such as pig iron, have weak ■ cned perceptibly, ostensibly because , of the lowering of quotations of South- ' era iron, but really because with Im proved transportation and better supplies of coke has come an enlargement of Iron products to the highest point ever known. U is. of course, too early to measure the development of fall trade. Some interior markets report good orders. , but large Eastern centers note a hold Ing back by buyers of cotton yarn and a demand for heavyweight woolens is reported to have been checked by high er prices Raw wool has again weak ened, though the statistical position is very strong Railroad earnings are i quite favorable, gross receipts for March indicating an increase of be tween 10 and 11 per cent, while net returns for February show a gain of H per cent on an Increase in gross re celpts of 14 per cent. Relatively th* best trade reports come from the lead Ing Western market*, but all center* report a satisfactory spring trade done at wholesale. China's Grand Secretary Dead. Pekin.

Whefi we arrived nt the palace the girls went to their apartments nnd 1 to mine, whore 1 found Brandon reading. There was only one window to i our common room—n dormer window ; set into the roof nnd reached by a litI tie passage as broad as the window it- ! self and perhaps a yard and a half I long. In the alcove thus formed was I a bench along the wall, cushioned by | Brandon's great campaign cloak. In this window we often sat and read, and here was Brandon with his book. I had intended to tell him the girls were coming. for when Mary asked me if I thought he would come to her at the palace, and when 1 had again said no. I she reiterated her intention of going to him at once; but my courage failed ! me and I did not speak of it. I knew that Mary ought not to come to our room, and that if news of it should reach the king’s ears there would be more and worse trouble than ever, and as usual Brandon would pay the penalty for nil. Then again, if it I were discovered it might seriously comI promise both Mary and Jane, as the I world is full of people who would rather say and believe nn evil thing of another than to say their prayers or to believe the holy creed. I had said as much to the Lady Mary when she expressed her determination to go to Brandon. She had been in the wrong so much of late that she was bumbled, and I wns brave enough to say whatever I felt, but she said she had thought it nil over, and as every one was away from Greenwich it would not be found out if done seI cretly. She told Jnne she need not go; that * she, Mary, did not want to take any risk of compromising her. Jane would have gone, though, hnd she known that all her fair name would go with her. Sbe was right, you see, when she told me while riding over to Windsor that should Mary's love blossom into a full blown passion she would wreck everything nnd everybody, including herself perhaps, to attain the object of so great a desire. It looked now as if sbe were on the highroad to that end. Nothing short of chains and fetters could have kept her from going to Brandon that evening. There was an inherent force about her that was irresistible and swept everything before it. In our garret she was to meet another will, stronger and infinitely better controlled than her own. and I did not know bow it would all turn out. CHAPTER XII. ATONEMENT. not been long in the room when a knock at the door an- I nounced the girls. I admitted them, and Mary walked to the middle of the floor. It was just growing dark, and the room was quite . dim, save at the window where Brandon sat reading. Gods, those were ex- , citing moments! My heart beat like a I woman's. Brandon saw the girls when they entered, but never so much as , looked up from bis book. You must re member he had a great grievance. Jane t and I had remained near the door, and i poor Mary was a pitiable princess, ( standing there so full of doubt in the middle of the room. After a moment ■ sbe stepped toward the window and, with quick coming breath, stopped at the threshold of the little passage. ’ “Master Brandon. 1 have come, not to make excuses, for nothing can excuse me. but to tell you how it all happened 1 —by trusting to another." Brandon arose and. marking the ’ place in his book with his finger, fol--1 lowed Mary, who had stepped backward into the room. “Your highnres is very gracious and kind thus to honor me, but as our ways will hereafter lie ns far apart as the world is broad. 1 think it would have been far better hnd you refrained from so Imprudent n visit, espc-clally as anyt thing one so exalted as yourself may have to say can be no affair of such ns • 1-one just free of the hangman's s noose.” “Oil. don't. I pray you! Let me tell you. and it mny mnke n difference. It I must pain yon. 1 know, to think of me i us y»n do after after you know, after What has p.assisl lietweon us.” “Yes. t! ’ only nukes It all the han!i er. If you could give your kieses"—and i , she binshed red ns blood—“to one for r whom yon care so little that you could leave him to die like a dog, when a 1 word from you would have saved him, i whnt reason have Ito suppose they are not for every man?” This gave Mary an opening of which she wns quick enough to take advan--1 tr.ge. for Brandon was In the wrong. ‘ “You know that is not true. You are not honest with me nor with yourself, and thnt Is not like yon. You know that no other tnnn ever bud. or could have. ' I any favor from me. even the slightest. | Wnntonnera la not among my thousand faults It Is not that which angers you. You are sure enough of me In that | respect. In truth. I bad almost come to believe you were too sure, that I hnd i grown cheap in your eyes, and you did , not care so much as I thought and ' hoped for whnt I hnd to give, for after I that day you enme not nenr me at all. i I know It was the part of wisdom and ; prudence that you should remain away, but hnd you cared as much as I your prudence would not have held you."

sue hung ner ucalt a moment in silence. then, looking at him. almost ready for tears, continued: "A man has no right to speak in that way of a woman whose little favors he lias taken, and make her regret that she has given a gift only that it may recoil upon her. ‘Little.’ did 1 say? Sir. do you know what that—flrst-kiss was to me? Had I possessed all the crowns of nil the earth I would have given them to you as willingly. Now you know the value I placed on it, however worthless It was to you. Yet I was a cheerful giver of that gift, was I not? And can you find It in your heart to make of it a shame to me—that of which I was so proud?" She stood there, with bead inclined a little to one side, looking at him inquiringly as if awaiting an answer. He did not speak, but looked steadily at his book. 1 felt, however, that be was changing, and 1 was sure her beauty,! never more exquisite than in its pres- i ent humility, would .vet atoue for even «o great a fault as hers. Err. look beau-' tiful and receive remission! Such a woman as Mary carries her indulgence in her fr.ee. I now Legnn to realize for the first ’ t:—e the wondrous power of this girl, and ceased to marvel that she had al-: v.-cys been able to turn even the king. :!'.e most violent, stubborn man on earth, to her own wishes. Her manner made her words eloquent, and already, with true feminine tactics, sbe bad put Brandon in the wrong in everything j because he was wrong in part. Then she quickly went over what she had said to me. Sbe told of her great dread lest the king should learn of the visit to Grcuche's and its fatal conse- ■ quonces. knowing full well it would render Henry impervious to her intlu- i ence nnd precipitate the French mar- J riage. She told him of bow sbe was going to the king the day after the ar-' rest to ask bis release, and of the meeting with Buckingham.and his promise.Still Brandon said nothing and stood as if politely waiting for her to withdraw. Sbe remained silent a little time, i waiting for him to speak, when tears, | partly of vexation, I think, moistened her eyes. "Tell me at least.” she said, “that ■ you know I speak the truth. I have al-1 ways believed in you. and now I ask for your faith. I would not lie to you I in the faintest shading of a thought— j not for heaven itself—not even for your love and forgiveness, much as they are to me, and I want to know that you I are sure of my truthfulness, if you i doubt all else. You see I speak plainly ; of what your love is to me. for although by remaining away you made me fear I had been too lavish with my 1 favors—that is every woman's fear—ll knew In my heart you loved me; that you could not have done and said wbat I you did otherwise. Now you see wbat faith I have in you. and you a man, whom a woman's instinct prompts to doubt. How does it compare witli your faith in me. a woman, whom all the instincts of a manly nature should dispose to trust? It seems to be an unwritten law that a man may lie to a woman concerning the most important thing in life to her and be proud of it, but you see even now I have all faith ' in your love for me. else I surely should not be here. You see I trust even your unspoken word, when it might.' without much blame to you. be a spoken lie; yet you do not trust me. who have no world-given right to speak falsely about such things, and when that which I now do is full of shame for me. and what 1 have done full of i gullL if inspired by aught bu, the pur | est truth from my heart of hearts. | Your words menu so much—so much more. 1 think, than vou realize—nnd

Hou eloquent she was! It seemed t me this would have melted the f rozo ° sea. but 1 think Brandon felt that now bls only hope lay in the safeguard of bis constantly upheld indignation. When he spoke he ignored all she had said. ■ You did well to employ my Lord of Buckingham. It will make’ matters i lore Interesting when 1 tell you j t Waj he whe attacked you and was caught by the leg under his wounded horse’he wns lame. 1 am told, for some time afterward. I had watch<>d him following you from the gate at Bridewell and at once recognized him when his matk fell off during the fight by the wall You have done well at every step | see.” ••Oh. God; to think of it! Had I but known! Buckingliam shall pay for this with his head; but how could 1 know’ I was but a poor, distracted girl, sure to make some fatal error, j was such agony—your wounds—believe mi--1 suffered more from them than you could. Every pain you felt was a pang for me—and then that awful marriage* I was being sold like a wretched slave to that old satyr, to be gloated over and feasted upon. No man can know the horror of that thought to a woman -to any woman, good or bad. To have one’s beauty turn to curse her ami make her desirable only—only as well : fed cattle are prized. No matter how great the ma nit'.'station of such so 1 called love, it all the more repels a woman and adds to her loathing dav by day. Then there wns something worse than all"—sbe was almost weep, ing now—“l might have been able to bear the thought even of that hideous marriage—others have lived through the like—but—but after— that—that day—when you—it seemed that your touch was a spark dropped into a heart full of ts 'der. which had been lying there awaiting it all these years, in that one moment the flame grew so lnl tense I could not withstand it. My throat ached; 1 could scarcely breathe. I and it seemed that my heart would burst.” Here tha tears gushed forth as the took a step toward him with out- . stretched arms and said between sobs: ; 'I wanted you. you. for my busbandfor my husband, and 1 could not bear the torturing thought of losing you or enduring any other man. 1 could not give you up after that—it was nil too late, too late; it bad gone too -r. I was lost, lost!” He sprang to where sbe stood leaning toward him and caught her to his ' breast. She held him from her while she said: “Now you know—now you know j that I would not have left you in that terrible place had I known it. No. not if it had takeu my life to buy your freedom." “I do know; I do know. Be sure of i that. 1 know it and shall know it always, whatever happens; nothing esu | change me. I will never doubt you again. It is my turn to ask forgivenew j now.-” "No, no. Just forgive me. That is all 1 ask." And her head was on his breast. "Let us step out into the passageway. Edwin," said Jane, and we did. There I were times when Jane seemed to be in- | cniroil. [TO BK CONTINUED. 1 \ 1 Storm Damage Underestimated.
