Her reply was Inarticulate, though satisfactory, and she took his hand in hers as the tears ran gently down her cheeks, this time tears of joy, the first she had shod for many a day. In the Siren country again without wax! Overboard and lost! Yes. Brandon’s resolution not to see Mary was well taken, if it could only have been as well kept. Observe as we progress into what the breaking of it led him. He bad known that if he should but see her once more his already toppling will would lose its equipoise, and he would be led to attempt the impossible and invite destruction. At first this scheme appeared to me in its true light, but Mary's subtle feminine logic made it seem such plain and easy sailing that I soon began to draw enthusiasm from her exlmnstless store, and our combined attack upon Brandon eventually routed every vestige of caution and common sense that even be had left. Siren logic has always been irresistible and will continue so no doubt despite experience. I cannot define what it was about Mary that Blade her little speeches, half argumentative, all pleading, so wonderfully persuasive. Her facts were mere fancies, and her logic was not even good sophistry. As to real argument and reasoning, there was nothing of either in them It must have been her native strength of char acter and intensely vigorous personal-ity-some unknown force of nature operating through her occultly—that turned the channels of other persons' thoughts and filled them with her own will. There was mngic in her power, I am certain, but unconscious magic to Mary. I am equally sure. She never would have used it knowingly. There was still another obstacle to > which Mary administered her favoritq

11 i i \ I |j I had to tit there and lt»ten to all thu foolith talk:

remedy, the Gordinn knot treatment. ; Brandon said: “It cannot be. You are [ ! not my wife, mid we dure not trust a ■ priest here to unite us.” , "No," replied Mary, with hanging > head, "but we can—can find one over , there.” “I do not know how flint will be. We | ! shall probably not find one—at least I , fear. I do not know.” 1 1 After a little hesitation she answered: “I will go with you anyway and— ■ ,| and risk it. I hope wo may tied a . priest.” And “he flushed scarlet from I her throat to her hair. | Brandon kissed her and said: "You •i shall go. my brave girl. You make me . blush for my faint lieartedness and . | prudence. I will make you my wife In , ' some way as sure as there is a God.” ; Soon after this Brandon forced him- , | self to insist on her departure, and I . | went with her. full of hope and com- . pletely blinded to the dangers of our . cherished scheme. I think Brnndon . never really lost sight of the danger nnd almost infinite proportion t.f chance against this wild, reckless venture, but was daring enough to attempt It even In the face of such clearly seen and deadly conacijuenves. CHAPTER XV. | TO MAKE A MAN OF HER. % Q O It was all arranged, and I converted part of Mary s Jewels into money, she an Id she >** t *”l was sorry now she hnd not . taken He I.oiigueville’s diamonds, us they would have ndd<*d to her treas- ' ure. I. however, procured quite a . large sum. to which I secretly added a goodly portion out of my own store. ' At Mary's request I sent part to Brad hurst nt Bristol and retalnisl the rest i for Brandon to take with him. • A favorable answer soon ennie from Bristol, giving the young nobleman a ’ separate room In consideration of the . large purse he hnd sent. The next step was to procure the gentJoinnn's wardrobe for Mnry. This was a little troublesome at first, for of i course she could not lie measured In j the regular way. We managed to over- j come this difficulty by having Jnue take the measurements under instructions received from the tailor, which measurements, together with the cloth.

i wok to t:ie rraetionni little man wno did my work. He looked at the measurements with twinkling eyes and remarked: "Sir Ed win. that be the curiousest shaped man ever 1 see the measures of. Sure, it would make a mighty handsome worn an or 1 know nothing of human dimensions.” "Never you mind about dimensions. Make the garments ns they are ordered and keep your mouth shut, if you know what is to your interest. Do you hear? ’ He delivered himself of a labored wink. "I do bear and understand, too, and my tongue Is like the tongue of an obelisk." In due time I brought the suits to Mary, and they were soon adjusted to her liking. The days passed rapidly till it was a matter of less than a fortnight until the Royal Hind would sail, and it really looked as if the adventure might turn out to our desire. Jane was in tribulation and thought she ought to be taken along. This, you may be sure, was touching me very closely, and I began to wish the whole infernal mess at the bottom of the sea. if Jane went, his august majesty King Henry VIII. would lx? without a master of tlie dance just as sure as the stars twinkled in the firmament. It was, however, soon divided that Brandon would have his hands more than full to get off with one woman, and that two would surely spoil the plan. So Jane was to be left behind, full of tribulation and indignation, firmly convinced that she was being treated very badly. Mary's vanity was delighted with her elopement trousseau, for of course it was of the finest. Not that the quality was lietter than her usual wear, but doublet and hose were so different on •her. She paraded for an hour or so ! before Jnne. and as she became accustomed to the new garb and as the steel reflected a most beautiful image she determined to show herself to Brandon and me. She said she wanted to become accustomed to being seen in her doublet and hose and would begin with us. She thought if she could

not Dear our gaze she would s» | | make a dismal failure on shi D I | among so many strange men I I was some good reasoning in this it. together with her vanity, overrrka her modesty and prompted her to c to see us lu her character of v ° In ' ! nobleman.

I admitted the girls, and when the door was shut Mary unclasped the brooch at her throat, and the great cloak fell to her heels. Out she B tep. ped. with a little laugh of delight clothed in doublet, hose and confusion’ the prettiest picture mortal eyes ever rested ou. Her hat, something on the broad, flat style with a single white | plume encircling the crown, was of j purple velvet trimmed in gold braid and touched here and there with pre ! Clous atones. Her doublet was o f the same purple velvet as her bat. trimmed In lace and gold braid. Iler short trunks were of heavy black silk slashed i by yellow satin, with hose of lavender i silk, and her little shoes were of rus j set French leather. Quite a rainbow. I you will say. but such a rainbow: Brandon and I were struck dumb | with admiration and could not keep from showing it. This disconcerted the girl and increased her embarrassment until we could not tell which was ! the prettiest, the garments, tin- girl or i the confusion, but this 1 know the ! whole picture was as sweet and Beautiful ns the eyes of man could behold. Fine fcalbers will not make fine I birds, and Mary’s masculine attire could no more make her look like a man than harness can disguise tip graces of a gazelle. Nothing could conceal her Intense, exquisite woman hood. With our looks of astonishment and admiration Mary’s blushes deepI nuod [TO BE CONTINUED.! , Some people think that when tbev , ask forgiveness for a wrong it gir« ' i them a license to do the same thing over again.—Philadelphia Telegraph J
