cannot say, as he soon had no choice i'm
the matter. At midnight Il body of
ycomcu from the Tower took possession
of the Eow and String and carried
Brandon off to London without commu-
~nication with Mary. She did not know
of his arrest until next morning. when
she vas informed that she was to fol.
low Immediately, and her heart was
nearly broken.
Here again was trouble for Mary.
Shc felt, however, that the two great
questions, the marriage of herself to
Louis, and Brandon to any other per.
son, were, us she called it, Settled"
and was almost content to cndure this
as Il mere putting of of her desires, Il
mcddlesome and impcrtinent interior
cnce of the fatcs, who would soon
learn with whom they were dealing
and amend their conduct.
She did not understand the consc
Qucnccs for Brandon, nor that the fates
would have to change their purpose
very quickly or something would hap
pen worse even than his marriage to
another woman.
On the second morning after leaving
Bristol Brandon reached London and,
ms he expected, was sent to the Tower.
The next cYcning Lady Mary arrived
and was taken down to Greenwich.
The girls fair name was Of course
lost, but, fortunately, that goes for lit
tie with n princcSS-Sincc no II would
believe that Brandon had protected her
against himself as valiantly and honor
ably as he would against another. The
princess being much more unsophlsti-
Gated than the courticrs were ready to
believe never thought Of saying any
thing to establish her innocence or vir-
tue, and her lcncc was put dow to
shame and taken as evidence against
her.
Jane met Mary at Windsor, and of
curse there was Il great flood Of tears.
Upon arriving at the palace the girls
were left to themselves, upon Mary's
promise not to leave her room, but by
the next afternoon she, having been
unable to learn anything concerning
Brandon, broke her parole and went
out to sec the king.
1t never occurred to Mary that Bran
don might suffer death for attempting
to run away with her. She knew only
too we'll that she alone was to blame,
not only for that but for all that had
taken place between them, and never
for one moment thought that he might
be punished for her fault, wen admit
ting there was fault In any one, which
she was by no means ready to do.
The trouble in her mind growing out
Of n lack of news from Brandon was of
Il general nature, and the possibility Of
his death had no place in her thoughts.
Nevertheless for the second time Bran
don had been condemned to die for her
sake. The kings seal had stamped
the warrant for the execution II the
hcadsman had sharpencd his AK and
could almost count the golden fee for
his butchery.
Mary found the king playing cards
with De Longuevillc. There was a
roomful of courtiers, and as she en-
tered she vas the target for every
eye, but she was on familiar ground
o and did not are for the glances
nor the Observers, most Of whom she
despiscd. She was the princess again
and full of self confidence, so she went
straight to the object of her visit. the

just what TO say first, there was so
much, but Henry saved her the trou-
BILE. He, OF course, was In II great rage
and denounced Mary's conduct as un-
natural and reasonable, the latter, in
IIenry's mind, being n crime many
times greater than the breaking of all
the commandments put together In n
fell, composite act. All this the king
had communicated to Mary by the lips
of Wolscy the evening before, and
Mary had received 1t with Il silent
scorn that would have withered any
one but the worthy bishop of York. AS
L said, when Mary approached her
brother lie saved licr the trouble of de-
Gliding where to begin by speaking first
himself, and his words were of Il part
with his nature, violent, cruel and vul-
gar. lie abused her and called her all
the vile names in his ample vocabu-
larry of billingsgatc. The queen was
present and aidcd and allotted with q
word now and then, until Henry, with
her help, at last succeeded In working
himself into a towering passion n
wound up by calling Mary q vile a
ton in plnincr terms than 1 like to
write. This aroused all the antago-
nism in the girl, and there was plenty
of 1T. SHE feared Henry no more than
she feared me. Her eyes flashed n fire
that made even tho king draw back
as she exclaimed: "You give me that
name and expect me TO remember you
are my brother? There are words that
make II mother hate her ~firstborn, and
that Is one. Tell me what 1 have done
to deserve it? I expected to hear of in
gratitude and disobedicnce and all that,
but supposed you had ut least some
traces of brotherly fccling--for ties of
blood are liard to break-even il you
have of late lost all semblance TO man
or king"
This was hitting Henry hard, for 1t
wGs beginning TO be the talk in every
mouth That lie was leaving all the af.
fairs of state 10 Wolsey and spending
his time In pueriic aniHsemcnt. "The
townf1 hope which at all poyntes ap-
peured in ihe younge Kynge" was be-
ginning to look, after all, like nothing
more than the old time royal cold fire,
made to consume but not to warm the
nation.
Henry looked at Mary with the stare
of n baited bull.
