As soon as she heard the heavy tread
OF her father die away, Anne lightly
lifted the curtain and looked in upon
Louis; he was sleeping heavily, the
slecp she knew would last long, for her
old fogter-parent had skillfully manag-
cd the draught She thought moment;
il was unlikely the earl would return
Immediately for he would be satisfied
with the APPARENT victory he had gained
over both. Though it was rot the hour,
she cautiously opened the door and
stole out As she passed along the
passage leading 10 the north tower, her
heart which had been beating tumnlt-
ously, suddenly Gained and she felt
new strong courage give firmness TO
her purpose. She was grouping along
the dark corridor thinking she must
reach the outside and If the discovery
Of the imposition might lead to his cap
ture As she reached out her hand to
feel her way it was clasped firmly and
she stiheG her alarm as the dear voice
whispered
NAY, be not afraid, it is l, Anne,
Thank God who has permitted me to
clasp thee again in my arms"
Anne tried to speak, but 50 great was
her joy at feeling his touch, so all-poss-
essing the happiness OF hearing his
voice, that it was not till he tendcrly
questioned her silence that she whis-
pered:
IT'S pure joy at knowing that
thou hast been spared that takes from
me all words"
Alas, dear Anne! Would that
could have died 10 keep harm from our
hapess master"
Surely his people will be content
with the lessons they have given and
viii return to their allegiance.

me?"
My life is alrea' forfeit as one Of
the band who was - remove the cursed
Cromwell Once let Boradell see the
man whom Louis thinks is |, and there
will be such search that it will be inn
possible for me 10 get away
Wen said Anne, with resolution,
whittier thou goest, | will 60. | shall
not remain behind TO fall victim to
Louis and nay fathers fury He wants
me to wed. Tis but fair | provide the
husband
Denlson's heart bounded, but he was
too truly her lover TO let her in the eX-
altation of her love bind herself by
promise that would bring hardship and
suffering to her
