St. Petersburg, Dec. 29.-The con-

those associated with the government.
but net responsible therefor, is that
the czar is so peacefully disposed that
he will make such concessions to
provided that no unforeseen events
force the hands of the governments
concerned
At the same time the czar, it Is
pointed out, agrees with those who
believe that preparation for war Is
the best safeguard Of peace and that
apparent willingness to allow matters
to be submitted to the test of arms is
more likely to lead to satisfactory
compromise than an exhibition OF
overmuch peacefulness.
This unofficial opinion, however,
believes the controlling party in Rus
sia regards Korea as necessary to
the consoli lation of Russian interests
in the Far East and. therefore, is de-
termined to prevent the peninsula
falling into Japanese hands and that
any concessions Russia now makes to
japan will only be with the object of
deferring the difficulty until a more
seasonable time.

condition, lying half dead from wounds
and loss of blood in that frightful
dungeon. The tale moved them great

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 n few min
utes before the time he knew the mes
ecnger with Mary's note would come.
The king was soon found, and Buck
ingham, i'm apparent anger, told him
that the city authorities refused to de-
liver Brandon except upon an order I'M
der the kings seal.
Henry and buckingham were III
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 Ncwgatc arrived
with Mary's Door 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 L not
leave you long In prison. 1 20 TO Windsor
at once, there to live in the hope that L
may see you speedily. MARY.
"What is this?" cried Henry. "NIy
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 Ncwgatc and allow
u good people of London to take
their w course with him."
Buckingham went to Windsor next
day and old Mary that arrangements
had been made the night before for
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 drcading the battle
for moro han 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 Il sort of joy
when she thought that lie had run
away from her because he loved her.
After Brandon's defense of her in Bill
lingsgatc 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 Ii the Princess Mary. She
was the princess still, but he was al
demigod.
30 Mary remained at Windsor and
grieved and wcpt 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,
