CHAPTER xv.-lcontlnued.l

The Bastile! She had heard
enough in Paris of that stone hell to
make her tremble at the word. All
night she endured it, but in the morn
ing she was resolved to throw the
intolerable burden on some one more
able to bear 1t. But on whom? Sir
Thomas would not have the subject
named in his presence 1t would be
cruel to tell Jane,-but there was
Cromwell. There was the Protector
IL was his business to look after En-
glishmen, else what was the use of
a Protector? Besides which, Crom-
well loved Neville
Matilda could not tell how much or
how little Cromwell knew of her med
ding in variety of plots against his
life and government, but she expected
her fathers name would secure her
an audience. Her first request. how
ever, was met with prompt refusal.
She was not to be daunted. If her
own name was not sufficient, she had
others more potent. So she wrote on
"a card these words: Lady Matilda
de Wick has important information re-
garG:ng Lord Cluny Neville; and for
Mistress Jane Swaffham's sake she
asks an interview"
This message was instantly effect

self that "she would not do the least
homage to the Usurper," the door
opened hastily, and he entered her
presence In the twinkling of an eye
all her resolves vanished. She fell at
his feet, and taking his hand kissed it,
whether in homage or in entreaty, she
knew rot.
MY lord" she said, and then she
began to sob. my lord, l crave of
you so many pardons-so much for
bearance-I will never offend again."
He raised her with an imperious
movement, and leading her to a chair,
remained standing at her side. 1--WE

for your dear fathers sake. Quickly

related all, and then put into his
hands Prince Rupert's letter, with her
finger directing his attention to the
terrifying postscript. And she saw
with fear the rising passion in his
countenance, and for a moment
trembled when he looked into her
eyes with such piercing inquiry that
she could not resist nor misunder-
stand their question

abandon, 'in this matter | am single

put a great wrong right"
You tell me the truth, I believe
you" he answered.; land | will take
upon me to see that it is done. Say
not a word to Jane Swaffham until
there be surety in the matter"
Then she rose, and looking with
eyes full of tears into his face, said,
"Sir, l remember the day you pulled
down the hazelnuts for me in de
Wick park. My father walked with
you, arm in arm, and | had your hand

kissed me. Sir, l entreat you, for

without delay"
Matilda curtsied and went out.
There was in her heart a strong be-
lief that this. time Cromwell's in
quiries would be as effective as they
were sure to be prompt. Indeed the
first thing the Protector did, was to
dictate the following letter to Ma
zarin:
