■’Behead—quarter—bridge! Lord Jesa!" She could not grasp the thought. She tried to speak, but the wnnds would not come. In a moment she became more coherent and the words rolled from her lips as a mighty flood tide pours back through the arches of London bridge. "You shgl! not kill him. He is blameless. You do not know [rrive thes»' tawking fools out of the room, and I will tel! you all.” The king ordered the room cleared of everybody but Wolsey. Jane and myself, wb., remained at Mary’s request When all were gone, the princess continued: "Brother, this man is in no way to blame It is all my fault—my fault that he loves me. my fault that be tried to run away to New Spain with me. It may be that I have done wrong and that my conduct has been unmaidenly. but I could not help it. From the first time I ever saw him in the lists with you at Windsor there was a gnawing hunger in my heart beyond my control. I supposed of course that day be would contrive some way to be presented to me”— “You did?” "Yes. but he made no effort at all. and when we met be treated me as if I were an ordinary girl.” ’ He did?” “Yes.” "Horrible.” Mary was too intent on her story to heed the san-asm. and continued: -That made me all the more interested In him. since it showed that be was different from the wret.-bes who tieset you and me with their flattery, and I soon began to seek him on every occasion. This is an unmaidenly history I am giving. I know, but it Is the truth and must be told I was satisfied at first if I could only be in the same room with him and see his face and bear his voice. The very air be breathed was like an elixir for me I made every ex -use to have him near me. I

a.«ked him to my parlor—you know about that—and—and did all I could to be with him At first he was gentle and kind, but soon. I think, he saw the dawning danger in both our hearts, as I. too. saw it. and he avoided me in every way be could, knowing the trouble it held for us both Oh. be was the wiser! And to think to what 1 have brought him. Brother, let me die for him—l who alone am to blame Take my life and spare him—spare bfm! He was the wiser, but 1 doubt if all the wisdom in the world could have saved us He almost insured me once in the park—told me to leave—when it hurt him more than me. I am now sure, but be did it to k :ep matters from growing worse tietween us. I tried to remember the affront, but could not. and had be struck me I believe I should have gone beck to him sooner or later. Oh. it was all my fault! I would not let him save himself. So strong was my feeling that I could bear his Mfetx-c no longer, and one day I went to him in your bedchamber anteroom and fairly thrust myself and my lore upon him. Then, after be was liberated from Newgate. I could not induce him to -ome to me. so I went to him and begged for his love. Then I coaxed him into taking roe to New Spain and would listen to no excuse and bear no reason. Now lire* there another man wbo would have taken so row-t coaxing?" "No. by heaven, your majesty!” said Wolsey, wbo really had a kindly feeling for Brandon and wdfcid gladly save his life if by so doing he would not interfere with any of bis own plans and interests. Wolsey's heart was naturally kind when It cost him nothing, and much ha* been related of him which, to say the feast, tells a great deal more than the truth. Ingratitude always recoils upon the Ingrate, and Henry's loss was greater than Wolsey s when Wolsey fell. Henry really liked or. rather, admired Brandon, as bad often been shown, but his nature was incapable of real affection The highest point be ever reached was admiration, often quite extravagant for a time, but usu ally short lived as Mked admiration Is apt to be. If be had affection for any oat, it was for Mary. He could not but see the justke of fits sister's position, but be had no intention of showing justice in the arose of right to interfere with justice in the se.-jse of the king's tri IL "You have fen ptayttc the devL at a greet rate." tee Mid "You have dis obeyed yoar brother and your king, have disgraced yourself. have probably made trouble between os and France, for if lx>u.* refuses to take you now I will cram you down bta throat and by your own story have led a good man to the Mock Quite t bafig et of evils for one woman to onen Bn* I bare noticed that the trouble a »o man nn make Is tn proportion to her beauty, and no wonder my little sister has made so much disturbance It to strange, though, that he should no at feet you. Master Wolsey, surely there , has been witchery here. He must bare use.! it abundantly to cast such a spel! over my sinter.” Then turning to the i priiMv** "Was it at any time poMlbfe ' for him to iiave given you a love pow- , dor. or did he ever make any signs or fMMtea over you ?" "Ofc. no; nothing of that sort. I tier- I er ate or drank anything which be ■ ronld possibly have touched. And as to * -— i • «**■■>• o- ■ ■>— *a*e

s.gns and passes, i know tie never made any. S r Edwin, you were always present wh-m I was with him until after we left for Bristol. Did you ever see anything of the aortr I answered "No.” and she went on "Bestdee. I do not believe much lu signs and passes. No one can affect others unless he can induce them to •at or drink some-hing in which he has placed a love powder or potion. Then, again. Mister Brandon did not want me to lore him. and surely would not have used such a me’iNjd to gain what he could hare had freely without It.” I noticed that Henry’s mind had wan lered from what Mary was saying and that his eyes were fixed upon me with a thoughtful, half vicious. Inquiring stare that 1 did not like. I wondered what was coming next, but my curiosity was more than satisfied when the king asked. "So Caskoden was present st all your interviews?" Ah! Holy Mother! I knew what wa« coming now and actually began to shrivel with fright. The king continues]. "I suppose be helped you to es■aper I thought my dry had come, bet Mary’s wit was equal *o the occasion. XVirh an exnressioii on her face of the I «?* hl 1 ' Brother, let nt die *or him.” most dorelike innocence she quickly said: "Oh. no! Neither be nor Jane knew anything of it We were afraid they might dirulge it" Shade of Sapphira ! A lie is a pretty good thing, too. now and then, and the man who says that won! of Mary’s was not a blesoed lie must fight me with lance, bsttleax. sword and dagger till one or the other of us bites the dust in death, be he great or small. "I am glad to learn that yon knew nothing of it” said Henry, addressing me. and I was glad. too. for him to learn it you may be sure Then spoke Wolsey: “If your majesty will permit I would aay that I quite agree with you; there has been witchery here witchery of the most potent kind; the witchery of lustrous eyre of fair skin and rosy lips; the witi-hery of all that is sweet and intoxicating tn womanhood, but Master Brandon has been the victim of this potent spell, not tbe user of it On* look upon your sister standing there, and 1 know your majesty will agree that Brandon had no choice against her." "Perhaps you are right," returned Henry. Then spoke Mary, all unconscious of her girlish egotism "Os course be had not. Master Brandon could not help it”—which wa* true bevond all doubt.

Henry laughed at her naivete, and Wolsey's lips wore a smile a* be plucked the king by tbe sleeve and took him over to the window, out of our bearing. Mary bgan to weep and show sign, of increasing cgitation. After a short whispered conversation the king and Wolsey came back, and tbe former said. "Sister, if I promise to give Brandon his life will you consent decently and like a good girl to marry Ix>uis of France?” Mary almost screamed: “Yes. ye* gladly. 1 will do anything you ask and fell at bl* feet, hysterically eta bracing his knees. As the king stooped and lifted her to her feet he kissed her, saying. "His life shall be spared, my sweet sister " After this Henry felt that he had done x wonderfully gracious act and was the kindest hearted prince in all Christendom. Poor Mary! Two mighty kings *ai their great ministers of state had at last conquered you. but they had to strike through your love, the valuersble spot In every woman. Jane and I led Mary away through s side door, and the king called for Ex-Ix-ngueviiie to finish the Interrupts game of cards. Before tbe play was resumed W olsey stepped softly around to the king and asked. "Shall I affix your majeaty * seal to Brandon’s pardon?" “Yea. but keep him in tbe Tower until Mary is off for France." Wolsey bad certainly been a friend to Brandon In time of need: bu- n usual, be had value received for bls friendliness. He was an ardent advocate of tbe French marriage, not a -fa. standing tbe fact be had told Mary he was not. having no doubt been br -ed thereto by the French king. ” !■ ■ ; c.<] t'.sbop Lad. with the help of IN' Longueville. secretly sent Mart s miniature to the French court in order that k might as it by accident fall into th? hands of Louis, and that worthy s little, old. shriveled heart began to flutter just a* if there could be kindled in it a genuine flame. , I.ouis had sent to De Longueville. who was then In England, for confirmation of Mary’s beauty, and Ee Longueville grew so eloquent on tbe theme that his French majesty at onre authorized negotiations. As reports came in Louis grew more and more impatient. This did not. bow ever, stand in the way of hi* driving a hard bargain in the matter of dower, for "the Father of the People” had tbe characteristics of his race and was in tensely practical as well as inflamm*ble. They never lose sight of the dotbat I do not find faulL Louis little knew what thorns this lovely rose had underneath her velvet leave*, and what a veritable tartar «be would be. linked to tbe man she did not love, or he would have given Henry 400,000 crowns to keep her at home (to bx cornxvrD.] , Ten Killed In Explosion.
