think who this girl was we were ■unning away with! What reckless 'ools we were not to have seen the uter hopelessness, certain failure and leadly peril of our act: treason black is Plutonian midnight. But Providence teems to have an especial care for fools, while wise men are left to care for hetnselves. and it does look as it safe•y lies in folly. We rode on and on. and although I look two occasions in the presence of others to urge Mary to return, owing :o the approach of night and threatened rain, she took her ow- head, as yverybody knew she always would, md continued the bunt. Just before dark, as we neared the rendearons. Mary and I managed to ride ahead of the party quite a distance. At last we saw a heron rise, ind the princess uncapped her hawk. "This is tny chance.” she said. “I will run away from you now and lose myself. Keep them off my track for five minutes, and I shall be safe. Goodby. Edwin. You and Jane are the only versons I regret to leave. I love you is my brother and sister. When we ire settled in New Spain, we will have yon both come to us. Now. Edwin. I ihall tell • ■?u something: Don’t let Jane nut you off any longer. She loves you. She told me so. There! Goodby. my friend. Kiss her a thousand times for tee.’’ And she flew her bird and gal oped after it at headlong speed Soon the princess was out of sight, ind I wa red for the others to overtake

l uk. La -i. > sis * She fieic her tn rd and gailcped after it. me. When they came up, I was greeted in chorus. “Where Is the princess?" I said she had gone off with her hawk and bed left me to bring them after her. I held them talking while I could, and when we started to follow took up the wrong scent A short ride made this apparent when I came in for my full share of abuse and ridicule, for I had led them against their judgment. I was • ■i.'-.-i with L»-.:.g a t-u'-.kiiead when, in fact they were the dupes. We rode hurriedly back to the point of Marr's departure and wound our bora* lustily, but my object had been j accomplished, and I knew that within twenty minutes from the time I last mw her she would be with Brandon on the road to Bristol, gaining on any pursuit we could make at the rate of three miles for two. We scoured the forest far and near, but of course found no trace. After a time rain set in and one of the gentlemen escorted the ladies borne, while three of us remained to prowl about the woods and roads all night in a soaking drizzle. The task was tiresome enough for me. as it lacked motive, and when we rode into Berkeley castle next day a sorrier set of bedraggled, rain stained, mud covered knights you never saw. You may know the castle was wild with excitement. There were ali sorts of conjee tures. but soon we unanimously concluded it had been the work of highwaymen, of whom the county was full and by whom the princess had cer tainlv 1-een abducted. The < harwrons forgot their gont and each other, and Jane, who was the moet affected of all. had a genuine excuse for giving vent to her grief and went to tied—by far the safest place for her. What was to he done? First, we sent a message to the king, who would probably have us al! flayed alive, a fear which the <+a(<rons shared to the fullest extent. Next, an armed party rode back to look again for Mary and. If possible rv«- 'le her. The fact that I had been out the entire night before, together with the small repute in which I waa held for deed* • < ara.«. ex. used me from taking pert in this bootless errand, so again I profited by the small esteem in which I was held I say I profited, for 1 I stayed at the castle with Jane, hoping to find my opportunity in the absence i of everybody else Al! the ladies but Jane had ridden out. and the knight* who had been with me scouring the fonvt were sleeping, since they had not I my Incentive to remain awake. They had no message to deliver, no duty to perform for an absent friend a thousand! only think of it! I wished it had been a million and so faithful was I to my trust that I swore In my soul I would deliver them, every one. And Jane loved me! No more walking on the hard, prosaic earth now. From thia time forth I would fly; that

motion Mary bad raid. ' She told me so" Could it really t* true? Ton will at ouiv see what au advantage this bit of information was to mo. I hoped that Jane would wish to see me to talk over Mary's escape; so I sent word to her that 1 was waiting, and she quickly enough recovered her health and came down. I suggested that we walk out to a secluded little summer bouse by the river, and Jane was willing. Ah. my opportunity was here at last! Jane's whole attitude toward me was changed, and she seemed to cling to me in a shy. unconscious manner, that was sweet beyond the naming, as the one solace for all her grief After I had answered all her ques dons and had tohl her over and over again every detail of Mary's flight and had assured her that the princess was at that hour breasting the wares with Brandon on their highroad to paradise. I thought it time to start myself in the same direction and to say a wool in my own l»ehalf. So I s|x>ke very freely and told Jane what I felt and what I w anted. "Ob. Sir Edwin.” she rsponded. “Jet us not think of anything but my mistress. Think of the trouble she is in." "No, no. Jane I-ady Mary is out of her trouble by now and is as happy as a lark, you may be sure. Has she not won everything her heart longed for? Then let us make our own paradise since we have helped them make theirs You have it. Jane, just within your lips. Speak the word, and it will change every - king, if you love me. and I know you do ” Jane's bead was bowed, and she remained silenL Then I told ber of Lady Mary's message and begged, if she would not speak in words what I so longed to hear, she wouid at least tell it by allowing me to deliver only one little thousandth part of the message Mary had sent, but sbe drew away and said she would return to the castle if 1 continued to behave in that manner. 1 begged bard and tried to argue the point but logic seems to lose its force in such a situation, and all I said availed nothing. Jane was obdurate and was for going back at once. Her persistence was beginning to look like obstinacy, and I soon grew so angry that I asked no permission, but delivered Mary's message, or a good part of it at least, whether she would or no. and then sat t»aek and asked her what she was going to do about it Poor little Jane thought she was undone for life. She sat there half pouting. half weeping, and said she could do nothing about it; that she was alone now. and if I. her only friend, would treat ber that way she did not know where to look. "Where to look?” I demanded. "Look here. Jane; here. You might as well understand first as last that I will not be trifled w ith longer, and that I intend to continue treating you that way as long as we both live. I have determined not to permit you to behave as you have for so long, for I know you love me You have half told me so a dozen times, and even your half words are whole truths. There is not a fraction of a lie In you. Besides. Mary told me that you told her so.” "She did not tell you that?" "Yes, upon my knightly honor.” Os course there was but one answer to this—tears. 1 then brought the battle to close quarters at once, and. with my arm uninterrupted at my lady's waist, asked. "Did you not tell ber so? I know you will speak nothing but the truth. Did you not tell her? Answer me. Jane.” The fair head, nodded *s Hbo whianemt

between the hands that covered j,,.,. face: "Yes. I—l—d-did,” and I-well, I livered the rest of Mary's message and that. too. without a protest fro® Jane. Truthfulness is a pretty good after all. s ' So June was conquered at last, and I heaved a sigh as the battle ended, f or it had been a lone, hard straggle i asked Jane when we should be mar ried. but she said she could not think of that now—not until she knew t| las Mary was safe, but she would promise to t»e m,v wife some time. We went back to the castle, and as we parted Jane said timidly: "I am glad 1 told you, Edwin. Glad it i 8 over.” She had evidently dreaded it. but— I was glad too. Very glad. Then 1 went to bed.
