PRESENTLY we all moved into the win
CONWAY, where Brandon and Mary
sat upon the great cloak and I on 3

she laughed softly as her spirit revived
IN the breath of glowing hope. '"Then

Her enthusiastic fever of hope was
really contagious, but Brandon, whose
life was at stake, had his wits quick

MARY, would you like to see me a
corpse before tomorrow noon?' he ask.

"Why, of course not! Why do you
ask such dreadful question:"
Because, If you wish to make sure
of it, do what you have just said-go to
the king and tell him all. l. doubt if
he could wait till morning. l believe
he would awaken me at midnight to
put me to sleep forever-at the end of
a rope or on a block pillow"
"Oh. no; you are all wrong. l know
what can do with Henry"
"1f that is the case, l say goodby
now, for l shall be out of England, if
possible, by midnight You must promise
me that you will not only not go to the
king at all about this matter, but that
you will guard your tongue, jealous Of
Its slightest word, and remember with
every breath that on your prudence
hangs my life, which, know, is dear
to you. Do you promise? If you do
not l must fly. So you will lose me
*one way or the other if you tell the
king-either by my fight or by my
death
II PROMISE" said Mary, with droop-

Bristol" he replied.
How many go out in her, and are
there any women?
"No, nor he returned mo woman
could make the trip, and, besides, on
ships of that sort, half pirate, half mer-
chant, they do not take women. The
sailors are superstitious about it and
will not sail with them. They say
they bring bad luck-adverse winds,
scalms, storms, blackness, monsters
from the deep and victorious foes"
1.-THE ignorant creatures!' cried Mary.
Brandon continued, "There will be
hundred men if the captain can induce
$50 many to enlist"
GLOW does one procure passage?' in
quired Mary.
"By enlisting with the captain, a man
named Bradhurst, at Bristol. where the
ship is now lying. There is where
enlisted by letter. But why do you
ask?"
"Oh, only wanted to know"
We talked awhile on various topics,
but Mary always brought the CONVEX
sation back to the same subject, the
Royal Hind and New Spain. After
asking many questions she sat in ST.
lence for time and then abruptly
broke into one of my sentences. She
was always interruptng me as If !
were parrot.
II have been thinking and have made
up my mind what l will do, and you
shall not dissuade me. l will go to
