little elump Of bushes, its only
occupant sprang oat and looked
searchingly around.
1t was a youth, evidently in the
FIRST dawn Of manhood, yet tall and
athletic, with broad shoulders and
weh-developed chest.
He had evidently expected to
meet some one, for he paced up and
down the banks Of the river with
quick and hasty strides, biting his
lips and knitting his brows with an
air Of impotence.
Suddenly he caught a CLEAN, Of
a white dress, and then beautiful
maiden emerged from a cluster Of
trees near by.
The youth Immediately sprang
forward and pressed her to his bo-
som.
For a few moments the maiden
yielded herself to his embrace, and
then, escaping from his arms, she
said:
"Dear Edouard, it is with the ut
most difficulty that I could elude
observation. Thismust be our last

The page pressed her hand pas
sionately to his lips.
"Flee with nae, Isabel" he ex-
claimed. II have friends in Ger
many who will gladly give us a
welcome and a home"
The princess shook her head.
A dash of crimson crossed his
forehead and the eagle eyes flashed
with sudden impotence.
"You do not love meW he ex-
claimed, cor you could not SO cool

The princess turned a reproach-
full look uponher lover and remain
ed silent.
II see how it is," he added. still
more bitterly; "when a king woes,

that kind though impulsive heart
"Forgive me, dearest. Lay that
sweet hand in mine, and say that
the page shall gain what Prince Ed
ward shall fail to win"
"I will give it to none other,

upon that pale cheek, and ther

At the upper end Of the hallstood
Phillip, Of France, and his royal
guest, Edward l.
Near by stood a number Of the
royal family, among whom was the
dauphin, afterward Charles the
Fair.
There was a marked difference
in the appearance of the two kings;
Edward was a head the tallest, with
frank, dignifed and gracious as
pect, that was heightened by con-
trast with the hasty movements and
restless glance Of the despotic and
fery-tempered Phillip.
The eyes Of the former rested
with a look Of undisguised admira-
ton upon the princess as she bent
her graceful head before them.
Stepping forward, he pressed his
lips to her forehead, saying:
God be with thee, fair daughter!
In the name Of my son ! salute
thee"
AS Isabel looked up into that
frank and kindly face, a wild hope,
born Of desperation, sprahg up in
her heart.
"God save your majestyl".s he re-
piled. II had, indeed, something
to say to thee, but this is hardly a
fitting place to speak it"
"Sayest thou SOP" rejoined Ed
ward. @Thou shall lack neither
place nor opportunity"
Taking hold Of IsabeIs hand, he
led her through side door into an
inner apartment.
"Now open thy whole heart to
me, my child" he said kindly, "as
if l were the father / shall shortly
be-"
Agitatedby conflicting hopes and
fears, the princess burst into tears.
"It can not, must not be, your
majesty she exclaimed. 81 do
not love Prince Edward; and to wed
him would be a deadly sin"
Contrary to her expectations the
king manifested neither surprise
nor displeasure.
"Thou hast never seen my SON
how, then, dost thou know?"
II love anotherl"
In spite Of her efforts, the maid
