April 2.3 —George Barr McCutcheon, formerly of Lafayette. Ind., has been paid $15,000 advance royalty and $5,000 for serial rights by Dodd Mead & Co. upon a novel to be called “The Sherrods," which will be published next fall. The advance royalty is one of the highest ever paid an author by an American publishing house. It is more than Robert Ixtuis Stevenson ever received and more than Rud yard Kipling ever secured for any of his books except “Kim." for which he was paid $17,000 in advance. The new novel is the moat ambitious the young Indiana author haa attempted. It is a story of today, and is more a serious character study than a romantic tale. The early scenes are laid in Indiana The plot is worked out In Chicago. New York and Europe. Mr. McCutcheon's two former novels. "Graustark” and “Castle Cranecrow,” were popular books, which me’ with an immense sale, and gave their author a niche among American men of letters. Wanted Him to Be Easy on Youtsoy. Prankfort. Ky..

Mary soon donned her woman's attire. of which she lind a supply in her chest, and at least felt more comforts ble without the Jack boots. She bad made her toilet alone for the first time In her life, caving no maid to help her, and wept as she dressed, for this disappointment was like plucking the very heart out of her Her hope had been so high that the fall was all the harder. Nay, even more; hope had become fruition to her when they were once a-shlpboard. and failure right at the door of success made it doubly hard to bear. It crushed her, and where before had been hope and confidence was nothing now but despair. Like all people with a great capacity for elation, when she sank she touched the bottom. Alas, Mary, the unconquerable, was down at. last This failure meant so much to her. It meant that she would never be Brandon's wife, but would go to France to endure the dreaded old Frenchman. At that thought a recoil

He waved his trophy on high. came. Her spirit asserted itself, and she stamped her foot and swore upon her soul it should never be—never, never, so long as she had strength to tight or voice to cry “No!” The thought of this marriage and of the loss of Brandon was painful enough, but there came another, entirely new to her and infinitely worse. Hastily arranging her dress she went in search of Brandon, whom she quickly found and took to her room. After closing the door she said: “I thought I had reached the pinnacle of disappointment and pain when compelled to leave the ship, for it meant that I should lose you and have to marry Ixiuts of France. But I have found that there is still a possible pain more poignant than either, and I cannot bear it; so I come to you—you who are the great cure for all my troubles. Oh. that I could lay them here all my life long,” and she put her head upon his breast, forgetting what she had intended to say. ‘‘What is the trouble. Mary?" "Oh, yes'. I thought of that marriage and of losing you. and then. oh. Mary Mother! I thought of some other woman having you to herself. I could see her with you. and I was jealous—l think they call it. I have heard of the pangs erf jealousy, and if the fear of a rival is so great what would the reality be? It would kill me; I could not endure it. I cannot endure even this, and I want you to swear that”— Brandon took her In his arms as she began to Weep. "I will gladly swear by everything I hold sacred that no other woman than you shall ever be my wife. If 1 cannot have you. be sure you have spoiled every other woman for me. There is but one in all the world—but one. I can at least save you that pain." She then stood on tiptoes to lift her Ups to him and said: “I give you the same promise. How you must have suffered when you thought 1 was to wed another." After a pause she went on: “But it might have been worse—that is. it wonk! be worse If you should marry some other woman: hut that •« al! set tied now nnd I feel easier Then 1 might have married the oh! French king, but that. too. is settled, and we can endure the lesser pain. It always helps us when we are able to think It might have been worse.” Brandon might have escaped from England In the Roynl Hind, for the wind had come up shortly after they left the ship, and they could sec the sails indistinctly througli tbe gloom as she got tinder way. But he could not leave Mary alone, and had made up his mind to take her back to London and march straight into the jaws of death with her If the king's men did not soon come. He knew that a debt to folly bears no grace. and was ready with his principal and usance. CHAPTER XVIIL TO Till*. TOWEtt. ' i r. I'l h:i; < >mi: Brandon would have found some way to defox' ll'ci the print.-ss safely I -.ii.--ami still make his escape 1 cannot any. as he soon hat! no choice in j the matter. At midnight a bodv of

! yeomen from the Tower took [msscssion of the Bow anil String and carried Brandon oIT to London without communication with Mary. She did not know of his arrest until next morning, when she was Informed that she was to fol low Immediately, and her heart was nearly broken. Hero ngniu was trouble for Mary. She felt, however, that the two great questions, the marriage of herself to Louis, and Brandon to any other person. were, as she called it, "settled." and was almost content to endure this as n mere putting off of her desires, a meddlesome and impertinent interference of the fates, who would soon learn with whom they were dealing and amend their conduct. She did not understand the consequences for Brandon, nor that the fates would have to change their purpose very quickly or something would happen worse even than his marriage to another woman. On tlie second morning after leaving Bristol Brandon reached London and. ns he expected, was sent to the Tower. Tlie next evening Lady Mary arrived and was taken down to Greenwich. j The girl's fair name was of course lost, but, fortunately, that goes for little with a prlniN'ss since no one would believe that Brandon bad protected her against himself ns valiantly and honorably as he would against another. The princess being much more unsophisticated than the courtiers were ready to believe never thought of saying anything to establish her innocence or virtue, and her silence was put down to shame and taken as evidence against her. Jane met Mary at Windsor, and of •'ourse there was a great flood of tears. Upon arriving at the palace the girls were left to themselves. Mary's promise not to leave her room, but by the next afternoon she. having been unable to learn anything concerning Brandon, broke her parole and went out to see the king. It never occurred to Mary that Branlon might suffer death for attempting to run away with her. She knew only too well that she alone was to blame, not only for that but for all that had taken place between them, and never for one moment thought that he might be punished for her fault, even admitting there was fault in any one, which , she was by no means ready to do. The trouble In her mind growing out i of a lack of news from Brandon was of a general nature, and the possibility of his death had no place in her thoughts. Xevertheh'ss for the second time Branion had been condemned to die for her sake. The king's seal had stamped the warrant for the execution and the beadsman had sharpened his ax and could almost count the golden fee for his butchery. Mary found the king playing cards with De Longueville. There was a roomful of courtiers, and as she entered she was the target for every eye. but she was on familiar ground now and did not care for the glances nor the observers, most of whom she despised. She was the princess again and full of self confidence, so she went straight to the object of her visit, the king. She bad not made up Iter mind just what to say first, there was so much, but Henry saved her the trouble. He, of course, was in a great rage and denounced Mary's conduct as unnatural and treasonable, the latter, In Henry's mind, being a crime many times greater than the breaking of all the commandments put together in one fell, composite act. All this the king had communicated to Mary by the lips of Wolsey the evening before, mid Mary had received It with a silent scorn that would have withered any one but the worthy bishop of York. As

I said, when Mary approached her brother he saved her the trouble of elding where to begin by speaking first himself, and bis words were of a part with ills nature, violent, cruel and vul. gar. He abused her and called her all the vile names in his ample vocabulary of billingsgate. The queen was present and aided and abetted with a word now and then, until Henry, with lier help, at last sueiwded in working himself Into a towering passion and wound up by calling Mary a vile wan ton in plainer terms than I like to write. This aroused all the autago nisrn in the girl, and there was plenty of it. She feared Henry no more than she feared me. Her eyes flashed a thv that made even the king draw back as she exclaimed: "You give me that name and expect me to remember you are my brother? There are words that make a mother hate her firstborn, and that is one. Tell me what I have done to deserve it? I expected to hear of In gratitude and disoliedience and all that, but supposed you had at least some traces of brotherly feeling—-for ties of blood are hard to break--even If you have of late lost all semblance to man or king." This was hitting Henry hard, for It was beginning to be the talk In every mouth that he was leaving all the as fairs of state to Wolsey and spending his time in puerile amusement. "The toward hope which at all poyntes appeared in the younge Kynge" was lie ginning to look, after all. like nothing more than the old time royal cold fire, made to consume but not to warm the nation. Henry looked at Mary with the stare of a baited bull. "If running off in male attire and stopping at inns and boarding ships with a common captain of the guard doesn't Justify my accusation ami stamp you what you are, I do not know what would." Even Henry saw Iter innocence in her genuine surprise. She was silent for a little time, and I, standing elose to her. could plainly see that this phase of the question bad never before presented itself. She hung her head for a moment air! then spoke: “It may be true, as you say. that what I have done will lose me my fair name—l had never thought of it In that light—but it is also true that I am innocent and have done no wrong. You may not believe me, but yon <-au nsk Master Brandon"—here the king gave a great laugh, and of course the courtiers joined in. “It is all very well for you to laugh, but Master Brandon would not tell you a lie for your crown." Gods! I could have fallen on my knees to a faith like that. ''What I tell you is true. I trust ed him so completely that the fear of i dishonor at his hands never suggested itself to me. I knew he would care for ; and respect me. 1 trusted him. and mj ! trust was not misplaced. Os how many j of these creatures who laugh when the king laughs could I say ns much?" i And Henry knew she spoke the truth, both concerning herself and the. court- ! iers. With downcast eyes she continued I “I suppose, after all. you are partly i right in regard to me. for it was his ' honor that saved me. not my own, and if I am not what you called me I have ! Master Brandon to thank -not myself " "We will thank him publicly on Tow j er hill day after tomorrow at noon." said the king, with his accustomed del icacy, breaking the news of Brandon's sentence as abruptly as possible. With a look of terror in her eyes Mary screamed: "What! Charles Bran don—Tower hill?—You are going to kill himr “I think we will,” responded Henry. : "It usually has that effect, to separate * the head from the body and quarter the remains to decorate the four gates. We will take you up to Ixtndou In a lay or two and let you see his tieaut! ful bead on. tba bridse." • - ■* r ’ [TO BK CONTINUED.] •» , Yellowstone Trip Ended. Cinnabar. Mon..
