“What is the matter? Is anything wrong?” she asked. "Nothing is wrong.” answered Brandon. smiling in spite of himself. "Nothing on earth is wrong with you. you may t>e sure. You are perfect—that is, for a woman—and one who thinks there is anything wrong about a [terfeet woman is hard to please. But if you Hatter yourself that you in any way resemble a man or that your dress tn the faintest degree conceals yonr sex you are mistaken. It makes it only more apparent." "How can that be?” asked Mary in comical tribulation. “Is not this a . I man's doublet and hose, and this hat — 1 is it not a man's hat? They are all for a man. Then why do I not look like one, 1 ask? Tell me what is wrong Oh. I thought I looked Just like a man. I thought the disguise was perfect” “Well.” returned Brandon, "if you will permit me to say so. you are entirely too symmetrical and shapely ever to pass for a man." The flaming color was in her ehooks as Brandon went on: "Your feet are I too small, even for a boy's feet. I don't think you could lie made to look like a man if you worked from now till doomsday." Brandon spoke in a troubled tone, for he was beginning to see in Mary's perfect and irrepressible womanhood an Insurmountable difficulty right ' across his path. "As to jour feet, yon might find larger shoe*, or. lietter still, jack boots, and. as to jour host 1 , you might wear longer trunks, but what to do about the doublet I am sure I do not know.” Mary looked up helpless and forlorn, and th? hot face went into her bended elbow as a realization of the situation seemed to dawn upon her. "Oh, I wish I bad not comet But 1 wanted to grow accustomed, so that I could wear them Etefore others. I believe I could bear it more easily with any one else. I did not think of it in that way.” And she snatched her cloak from where it bad fallen on the floor and threw it around her. "What way. Mary?” asked Brandon gently and receiving no answer. "But you will have to bear my looking at you all the time if you go with me.” "I don’t believe I can do it." “No. no,” answered he. bravely attempting cheerfulness; “we may as well give it tip. I have bad no hope from the first. I knew it could not be done, and it should not. I was both insane and criminal to think of per mlttlng you to try it.” Brandon’s forced cheerfulness dies) out with his words, and be sank into n chair, with his elbow s on bis knees and

bio face in big hands Mary ran to him at once. There bad been a little mo meat of faltering. but there was no : real gurrender in her. Dropping on her knee beside him. she said coaxingly: "Don't give up. You I are a man; yon must not surrender ( and let me. a girl, prove the stronger, snnme upon .toil when I look up to you so much and expect you to help mo ! be brave; I will go | will arrange > uiyaelf In some way. Oh. why am I not different? I wish I were ns straight ns the queen." And for that first time In her life she bewailed her beauty tiecause It stood between her and Bran- | don. She soon coaxed him out of his despondency. ami we began again to plan ' the matter in detail. The girls sat on Brandon's cloak and he and I on the camp stool anti a box. Mary s time was well occupied in vain Attempts to keep herself covered with the cloak, which seemed to have a right g<ssl will toward Brandon and me. but she kept track of our plans, which, in brief, were ns follows: As to her costume, we would substitute long trunks and Jack l>oot« for shoes and hose. and. ns te doublet, Mnry Intighod and blushlngly said she had a plan which she would secretly Impart to .Jane, hut would not tell us. She whispered It to Jolie, who. ns serious as the lord chancellor, gave Judgment and "thought It would do" We hoped so, but were full of doubts This is all tunic etiougig o write and read nlwint. but I can tell you it was sufficiently exciting nt the time. Three of us at least were i-laying with that j

, comical fellow. Penth. ano lie gave the game interest and point to our hearts content. As to tlie elopement, it was deter- , mined that Brandon should leave lx>ndon the following day for Bristol and i make all arrangements along the line. . He would i nrry with him two bundles. ! his own and Mary's clothing, and leave . them to lie taken up when they should ! go a-shfpboard. Eight horses would be procured, four to lie left as a relay at an inn between Berkeley castle and Bristol and four to lie kept at the rendezvous some two leagues the other side of Berkeley for the use of Bran- . don. Mary and the two men from Brls- . tol who were to act as an escort on the , eventful night. There was one disagreeable little feature that we could not provide against nor entirely eliminate. It was the fact that Jane and I should be suspected as aecompliies before the fact of Mary's elojiement, and. as yon know, to assist in the abduction of a princess is treason, for ; which there is but one remedy. I thought I had a plan to keep ourselves safe if I could only stifle for the once Jane's troublesome and vigorous tendency to preach the truth to all people U(K>n all subjects and nt all times and places. She promised to tell the story 1 I should drill into her. but 1 knew the truth would seep out in a thousand ways. She could no more liold It than a sieve can hold water. We were playing for great stakes, which, if I do say it. none but the bravest hearts, bold and daring as the truest knights of chivalry, would think of trying for—nothing less than the running away with the first primess of the first blood royal of the world. Think of it! it appalls me even now. Discovery meant death to one of us surely. Brandon; possibly to two others. Jane and me. certainly if Jaae’s truthfulness should become unmanageable, as it was apt to do. After we had settled everything we could think of the girls took tbeir leave, Mary slyly kissing Brandon at the door. 1 tried to induce Jane to follow her lady's example, but she was as cool and distant as the new moon. The next day Brandon paid bis respei ts to the king and queen, made his adieus to his friends and rode off alone to Bristol. You may be sure the king showed no signs of undue grief at bis departure. CHAPTER XVI. A HAWKING PARTY. days after Brandon's departure. Mary, with the EuMatl small party to go over to Windsor sot a few weeks during the warm weather. There were ten or twelve of us. including two chaperons, the old Earl of Hertford and the dowager Din tiess of Kent. Henry might as well have sent along a pa,r of spaniels to act as chaperons it could have taken an army to guard Mary alone -and to tell you the truth our old chaperons needed watching more than any of us. It was scandalous. Each of them bad a touch of gout, und when they made wry faces it was a standing inquiry among ua whether they were leering at each other or felt a twinge- whether it was their feet or their hearts that troubled them. Mary led them a pretty life at all times, even at home in the palace, and I kaow they would rather have gone off with a pack of imps than witli us. The inducement was that It gave them better opportunities to be together, an arrangement connived at by the queen. 1 think, and they were satisfied The earl had a wife, but be fancied the old dowager and she fancied him. and probably H‘e wife fancied somebody

— else, so they were all happy. i t ly amused the young people, y ou 1 lie sure, and Mary said, probably ' out telling the exact truth, that ever night she prayed God to pity aihl ] 7 give their ugliness. One day the princess said she was becoming alarmed" Their ugliness was so intense she f ' ' ed it might be contagious and spread Then, with a most comical seriousness she added: "Mon Dieu, Sir Edwin, what if [ should catch it? Master Charles would not take me.” "No danger of that, my lady. n c is too devoted to see anything but beauty in you. no matter how much you might change." “Do you really think so? He says so little about it that sometimes I Ul . moat doubt.” Therein she spoke the secret of Brsndon's success with her. at least in the beginning, for there is wonderful p., tency In tile stimulus of a healthy lit. tie doubt. We had a delightful canter over to Windsor. I riding with Mary most of the way. I was not averse to this a r rangement, as I not only relished Mary'S mirth and Joyoiisness, which were at tbeir height, but hoped I might give my little Lady Jaue a twinge or two of jealousy, perchance to fertilize her sentiments toward me. Mary talked and laughed and sang, for her soul was a fountain of gigj neas that bubbled up the instant pressure was removed. She spoke of little but our Inst trip over this same road and. as we passed objects on the way told me of what Brandon had said at this place and that. She laughed and dimpled exquisitely in relating bow she I’.ad delilteratcljr made opportunities for him to flatter her until nt last lie smiled in her face and told her she whs the most beautifnl creature living. but that, after all, “beauty was as beautjr did." "That made me angry.” said she. “I pouted for nwbile and two or threo times was on tlie point of dismissing i him, but thought better of it and asked I him plainly wherein I did so much , amiss. Then what do you think the impudent fellow said?” ’ 1 cannot guess." “He said. ’Oh. there is so much it would take a lifetime to tell it.' "Thia made me furious, but 1 could not answer, and a moment later he said, ’Nevertheless I should lie only too glad to undertake the task ' "The thought never occurred to either of ns then that lie would l>e taken at his word. Bold? I should think he I wns! 1 never saw anything like it! I have not told you a tenth part of what lie said to me that day. He said auyI thing he wished, and it seemed that I could neither stop him nor retaliate. Half the time I was angry and half the time amused, but by the time we reached Windsor there never nas a girl more hopelessly and desperately in love than Mary Tudor.” And she laughed as if it were a huge joke on 1 Mary She continued: “That day settled matters with me for all time. 1 don't know how he did it. Yes. I do." And she launched forth into an account of Brandon's perfections, which I found somewhat dull, and so would you. We remained a day or two at Wind•or and then, over the objections of our I -baperons, tnoveil on to Berkeley css- ; tie, where Margaret of Scotland was ; spending the summer. We bad another beautiful ride up 'he dear old Thames to Berkeley, but Mary had grown serious and saw none . >f it. On the afternoon of the appointed lay the princess suggested a hawking ' '•arty, and we set ont'in the dire riou >f the rendezvous. Our party consist ?d of myself, three other gentlemen :md three ladies besides Mary. Jane Rd not go. I was afraid to trust her She wept and with difficulty forced uerself to say something about a head ache, bnt the rest of the Inmates of the castle of course had no thought I ;hat (lossibly they were taking tl r ast look ut'ori Mnrv Tudor.
