Wolsey, but after we crossed the
bridge he passed down Lower Thames

at that time lodged in house near the

would 60 to the lord mayor first, and
this is the road to my lord bishop of
Lincoln. In all the years have known
your majesty, both as gallant prince
and puissant king, this Is the first re.
quest ever proffered, and now I only
ask of you to save your own noble
honor and do your duty as man and
king"
These were bold words, but did not
care one little farthing whether they
pleased him or not. The king stared
at me and said:
"Caskoden. you are perfect hound
at my heels. But you are right. l had
forgotten my errand. You disturbed
my dinner, and my stomach called
loudly for one Of Mistress Corvallis
buildings, but you are right to stick t,

need! Would had one like you.'
"Your majesty has two Of whom
know-one riding humbly by your roy.

dungeon in Christendom."
With this the king wheeled about
and started west toward Guildhall.
To the lord mayor we accordingly
went without further delay. He was
only too glad to liberate Brandon when
he heard my story, which the king had
| ordered me to repeat. The only hest.
fancy was from doubt of it's truth.
| The lord mayor was kind enough to
say that he felt little doubt of my
word, but that friendship would often
drive man to any extremity, even

Then offered to go into custody my
self and pay the penalty, death, for

willing to risk her truthfulness with
out a doubt-it was 80 pronounced as
to be troublesome at times-and as to
MAXWELL, had not doubt Of her
either. If she would but stop to think
out the right, she was sure to do it.
My offer was satisfactory, for what
more can a man do than pledge his life
for his friend? We have Scripture for
that, or something like it.
| The lord mayor did not require my
proffered pledge, but readily consented
that the king should write an order for
Brandon's pardon and release. This

Brandon was brought up, with chains
and manacles at his ankles and wrists.
When he entered the room and saw
me, he exclaimed: "Ah, Caskoden, Is
that you2 thought they had brought
me up to hang me, and was glad for
the change. But suppose you. would

the scurvy burghers, and an immense
amount Of self Importance was dis
played and shamefully wasted. This
manifestation was at it's highest when
the messenger from Newgate arrived
with Mary's poor little note as intend
ed by the duke.
The note was handed to Henry, who
read aloud as follows:
To Master Charles Brandon, greeting:
Soon you will be at liberty, perhaps ere
| this Is to your hand. Surely would I not
| leave you long in prison. I go to Windsor
at once, there to live in the hope that I
may see you speedily. MARY.
"What is this?,' cried Henry. my
sister writing to Brandon? Gods
death! Ny Lord Of Buckingham, the
suspicious you whispered in my ear
may have some truth. We will let this
fellow remain in Newgate and allow
our good people Of London to take
their own course with him."
buckingham went to Windsor next
day and told Mary that arrangements
had been made the night before for
heard that Brandon had left for New
Spain.
Mary thanked the duke, but had no
smiles for any one. Her supply was

She remained at Windsor nursing
her love for the sake Of the very pain

knew she should soon be called upon to

her old fits of anger because Brandon
had not come to see her before he left,
but soon the anger melted into tears,

when she thought that he had run
away from her because he loved her
After Brandon's defense Of her in Bill

So Mary remained at Windsor and
grieved and wept and dreamed and
longed that she might see across the

had his trial In secret down in London

Worry Caused by Letter Writ
Ing Episode Causes Clergy.
man to Take Vacation.

New York. June i3.-Overcome by the
effects OF worrying over a church scandal
and exhausted by the press Of his execu-
tive duties. the Rev. Richard Hartley.
pastor OF Hope Baptist church, has been
obliged TO retire temporarily from active
work. He has two months leave OF
absence. and a perod OF relief from his
duties may be prolonged until October.
Although the incident. which preyed so
much on the peace OF the pastor. was
considered closed nearly a year ago, he
always bore II in mind. and considered
that the church. which he had founded,
had been brought into unpleasant noto-
riety.
The circumstances are connected with
the resignation of Miss Grace Merritt, a
member OF the congregation. and at one
time an officer. Various letters. OF per-
sonal ard gossiping nature. were sent TO
members OF the congregation. The trus-
tees were so annoyed by what they called
the mischievous tone OF these epistles that
they instituted an investigation.
TRACED TO YOUNG WOMAN.
They employed a handwriting expert
who made a confidential report, which
resulted In suspicion being directed to
Miss Merritt. The young woman indis-
nantly denied the authorship or the let
ters. At a church meeting her resigna-
ton was accepted. Her friends later
moved for a trial. but the matter was
never brought up again for official con-
sideration.
Under his direction the church edifice
at Broadway and 104th street was COM
pleted in 1890. and IL is now valued at
$780, 900 and Is free from debt So deeply
was the pastor concerned about the af-
fair that he gave up his vacation last
August In order TO remain In the city
and look after its settlement. In addition
to this he has had the exclusive control
OF the several organizations connected
with the church. which gave him con-
siderable work
His health a few days ago gave way
under the strain and he was told by his
physicians that he had an attack OF nerv-
Gus prostration. He had also recently re-
covered from pleuro- pneumonia.
Mr.. Hartley returned last night from
Scarsdale. where he had been spending
a few days and today he intends TO start
for the New England coast. Several OF
the trustees said last night that they had
no doubt that the worry over the letter
writing incident had had much TO do
with the Ill health Of their pastor.
