liver Brandon except upon an order un.
der the kings seal
Henry and Buckingham were In
tensely indignant at the conduct Of
the scurvy burghers. and an immense
amount of self Importance was dis
played and shamefully wasted. This
manifestation was at its 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 not
leave you long in prison. l go to Windsor
at once. there to live in the hope that
may see you speedily. MARY.
What is this?" cried Henry. "My
sister writing to Brandon? Gods
death! My 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
Brandon's escape and that he had
heard that Brandon had left for New
Spain.
Mary thanked the duke, but had no
smiles for any one. Her supply was
exhausted.
She remained at Windsor nursing
her love for the sake of the very pain
1t brought her and dreading the battle
for more lnan life itself which she
knew she should soon be called upon to
fight.
At times she would fall into one of
her old fits Of anger because Brandon
had not come to see her before he left,
but soon the anger melted into tears,
and the tears brought sort of Joy
when she thought that he had run
away from her because he loved her.
After Brandon's defense of her in Bill
Hngsgate Mary had begun to see the
whole situation differently, and every
thing was changed. She still saw the
same great distance between them as
before, but with this difference, she
was looking up now. Before that
event he had been plain Charles Bran
don and she the Princess Mary. She
was the princess still. but he was a
demigod.
So Mary remained at Windsor and
grieved and wept and dreamed and
longed that she might see across the
miles of billowy ocean to her love, her
love, her love! Meanwhile Brandon
had his trial in secret down in London
and had been condemned to be hanged,
drawn and quartered for having saved
to her more than life itself.
Put not your trust in princesses!

what Is thts7" cried HENRI
should put no further weight Of sac-i-
fee upon him, but should go to the
king and tell him a straightforward
story, let 1t hurt where 1t would. With
a little meditation, however, came a
thought which decided the question and
absolutely made everything bright
again for her, so great wss her capa-
billty for distilling light. She would
go at once to Windsor with Jane and
would dispatch a note to Brandon at
Newgate telling him upon his escape
to come to her. He might remain In
hiding In the neighborhood of Wind
sor, and she could see him every day.

were on their road to Windsor.

kings command In freeing Brandon.
He had hoped to induce Brandon to

OF his release, and relied on Brandon's
generosity to help him out. but when
be found the note which Mary's page
had delivered to the keeper Of Newgate
he read It and all his plans were
changed.
He caused the keeper to send the
note to the king suppressing the fact
that he. Buckingham. had any knowl-
edge Of it. The duke then at once
started to Greenwich, where he ar
rived and sought the king a few min

duke.
Mary saw she had made a mistake
and. after hesItating for a moment,
answered: "Sir Edwin Caskoden. He

equldistant from both truth and eff
fectiveness.

Buckingham, preparing to leave. But
you must not divulge the fact that I

though I would willingly lose that IA
vor thousand times over for a smile
from you"
She gave the smile, and as he left
followed his retiring figure with her
eyes and thought after all, he has a
kind heart"
She breathed a sigh Of relief, too, for
she felt she had accomplished Bran
don's release and still retained her dan
gerous secret, the divulging Of which
she feared would harden Henry's heart
against her Establishments and strand
her upon the throne of France.
But she was not entirely satisfied
with the arrangement. She knew that
her obligation to Brandon was such as
to demand OF her that she should not
other person, much less to an enemy
suoA as Buckingham. Yet the cost of
his freedom by a direct act of her own
would be so great that she was tempt
ed to take whatever risk there might
be in the way that had opened itself to
her. Not that she would not have
made the sacrifice willingly or would
not have told Henry all If that were
the only chance to save Brandon's life,
but the other way. the one she had TAX
en- by Buckingham's help, seemed safe,
and. though not entirely satisfying. she
could not see how 1t could miscarry.
buckingham was notably jealous Of
his knightly word, and she had IN
bounded faith In her influence over
him. In short, like many another per-
son, she was as wrong as possible just
at the time when she thought she was
entirely right. and when the cost of
mistake was at its maximum.
She recoiled also from the thought
OF Brandon's escape" and 1t hurt her
that he should be fugitive from the
justice that should reward him, yet
she quieted these disturbing sugges-
tons with the thought that 1t would
be only for a short time, and Brandon,
she knew. would be only too glad to
make the sacrifice If it purchased for
her freedom from the worse than dam
nation that lurked in the French mar
rage.
All this ran quickly through Mary's
mind and brought relief, but 1t did not
cure the uneasy sense, weighing like
lead upon her heart, that she should
take no chance with this mans life and

DAIRY NOTES.

Ground oats, torn and bran make
one of the best winter rations for the
dairy COWS.
Unless a COW turns her food into
butter and not flesh she has no place
in the dairy.
Cream should be well stirred and
given time to riIen evenly before put
into the churn.
The true dary cow-one that is
worth keeping-js easily affected by
uniayOrabo conditions.
AT least eye,'y two months scrub
your managers with water and soap,
I've or washing powder
The cow with the best appetite
one that eats al d drinks the most
is usually the best producer
Prof, Tracy, Of Mississippi, found
that from a good mixer following
poor one the milk flow was increased
from five cows by 244 pounds in two
weeks.
A good dairy cow is made by in.
telligent breeding and feeding. She
does not come Icy chance. II takes
seven years Of steady, watchful at
tention after birth to bring cow TO
her best in the production of milk.
The man who sows rye this fail
so as to have it for early pasture for
his COWS next spring will congratulate
himself then on his foresight Rye is
one of the best things he can SOW to
starr the cows off well il the spring.
1t is not a good plan to feed cows
at milking time, rs they are likely TO
hold up the milk If by any chance the
feed Is withheld. The best plan is to
feed before milking so as TO milk while
the COW is IN a ruminant mood
Keep on friendly terms with your

THE SULTAN'S ENEMIES.
Are Mysteri0usly and Effectunlly Dis
posed OF by the Turkish
Ruler.

Things get done in the sultan's realm
things like the massacres of 1895 in
Asiatic Turkey and of 1903 in Macedonia
which come home TO the consciousness
of every thinking Turk, writes Henry
Thompson. in Worlds Work
Take the case of the Koordish Sheikh
Obaidulah. who was a guest of the sui
tan for a time in 1883 and was afterward
sent TO Mecca in order that pious occu-
patons might keep him out Of mischief.
He died very soon after his arrival of
cholera, it was officially announced, al
though he was the only sufferer Of chOl-
era in Mecca that year
Take the case of Mithad Pasha the lib
eral prime minister and the champion
of parliamentary government. He was
tried for treason in aiding to dethrone
Sultan Abdul Aziz, and was sent to Taft.

suddenly. BY and by a man who had
been a soldier in Arabia appeared in
Constantinople sabbling a tale that end
ed with Il did not know that IT was
Mithad Pasha or | would not have put
the soaped cord about his neck" Of
course, the police saw that the man was
crazy and put him where he was safe

vizier who fled to the British embassy
in Constantinople seven or eight years
ago, declaring that he would be Killed
unless allowed asylum and who could
not be induced to leave the buildinguntiI
the ambassador brought him a formal
promise of safety, sealed with the sui
tan's own seal,
Meditation upon this class of myster-

every time that they see one of the great
army Of paid informers who know every
thing. Men do not say that the sultan
does the things which cause this trent
