He would carry with him two bundles,
his own and Mary's clothing. and leave
them to be taken up when they should
go a-shipboard. Eight horses would
be procured, four to be left as a relay
at an inn between Berkeley castle and
Bristol and four to be kept at the rem
devious some two leagues the other
side of Berkeley for the use of Bran
don. Mary and the two men from Bris-
tol who were to act as an escort on the
eventful night. There was one dis
agreeable little feature that we could
not provide against nor entirely elm
mate. 1t was the fact that Jane and
l should be suspected as accomplices
before the fact of Mary's elopement,
and, as you know, to assist in the abb
duction of a princess Is treason, for
which there is but one remedy. 1

After we had settled everything we

her lady's example, but she was as

whole picture was as sweet and beauti-
full as the eyes of man could behold.
Fine feathers will not make fine
birds. and Mary's masculine attire
could no more make her look like n
man than harness can disguise the
graces of gaZelle. Nothing could
conceal her intense, exquisite woman

and admiration Mary's bushes deep

Nothing is wrong" answered Bran

I thought the disguise was perfect"
"well," returned Brandon. 'if you
will permit me TO say so, you are en-
tirely too symmetrical and shapely
ever to pass for a man"
The flaming color was I'm her cheeks

perfect and irrepressible womanhood
an insurmountable difficulty right
across his path.
"As to your feet, you might find
larger shoes. or. better still. jack boots
and. as to your hose, you might weal
longer trunks. but what TO do about
the doublet I am sure do not know"
Mary looked up helpless and forlorn

"A Square Deal"
Cleveland Leader.

Nobody can misunderstood what
President Roosevelt meant when he
declared at Springfield, H., that a
man who Is good enough to shed his
blood for his country is good enough
to be given a square deal afterward." 3"
The President was talking to the
colored troop who guard the tomb of
Lincoln at that place, and he had
Just told them that it was his good
fortune to serve beside the Negro
soldiers at Santiago. Everybody
knows how the colored troops fought
in that engagement with the Spanish
army, how they charged up San Juan
hill, never flinching in the face of a
fire that killed and wounded many
of the brave fellows, but closed up
their ranks and moved forward to
victory.
Theodore Roosevelt believes in Civ
ing a square deal to every American,
black or white, rich or poor. more
than that, The declares, mo man is en-
titled to, and less than that no man
shall have" Being that kind of Presi-
dent, he has insisted that the colored
man in the South shall have his rights,
and that there shall be no discrimina-
tion on account of color in the be-
stowal of Offices. Being that kind of
President, moreover, he should be in
hearty sympathy with the plank of

Half the time / was angry and half
the time amused, but by the time we
reached Windsor there never was a
girl more hopelessly and desperately in
love than Mary Tudor" And she
laughed as if it were a huge joke on
Mary.
She continued: "That day settled
matters with me for all time I don't
know how he did it. Yes, do" And
she launched forth into an account of
Brandon's perfections, which 1 found
somewhat dull, and SO would you.
We remained a day or two at Wind
sor and then, over the objections Of our
chaperons, moved on to Berkeley cas-
tie, where Margaret of Scotland was
spending the summer.
We had another beautiful ride up
the dear old Thames to Berkeley, but
Mary had grown serious and saw none
of il.
On the afternoon Of the appointed
day the princess suggested a hawking
party, and we set out in the direction
of the rendezvous. Our party consist
ed of myself, three other gentlemen
and three ladies besides Mary. Jane
did not go. was afraid to trust her.
She wept and with difficulty forced
herself to say something about head
ache. but the rest of the inmates of
the castle of course had no thought
that possibly they were taking their
last look upon Mary Tudor.
Think who this girl was we were
running away with What reckless
fools we were not to have seen the ut

deadly peril of our act; treason black

seems to have an especial care for fools

: The most picturesque Office of our

States army. The prosaic title, I'm

dex to the courtly social prestige that

OF white house ceremonies and as mill
itary aid to the president. Were our un-
destinations government monarchy
he would have the title of ''lord cham
berlain."
Next to the president himself he will
be the most conspicuous figure at the
white house levees. Respondent in
full-dress uniform and with glisten-
ing dress sword at his side, his station
during all such brilliant events will be
in the blue parlor Immediately at the
presidents left. Here he will formally
present to the chief executive the long
lines of guests. He will officiate as
stage manager, SO TO speak, IN ali OF the
official and social dramas enacted with

of big hotel and the manager Of

AS military aid to the president"
Maj. Symons will personally accom-
pany President Roosevelt on all of his
journeys of an official nature. During
the review of troops or of professions
he will stand at the presidents side ar
rayed in full dress uniform. Hence his
office will bring him into the most in
innate personal contact with the chief
executive and will demand relations of
. very confidential kind. Therefore.

court which will perpetuate some of
the old-time glories of Hawaiian mon
archy and thus call attention to one of
the last of the royal line.
The prince will have private secre-
tary, of course. He will also have, it is
said, q royal retinue of gentlemen and
ladies in waiting.
He has already planned many recep-
tions and feasts in Hawaiian style. It
is expected, therefore, that Prince Gu
pid and his court will prove as great
an attraction to Washington society
as were Minister Wu's receptions when
he and his wife first came to the cap
ital from China.
It is understood that the Hawaiian
Legislature will appropriate $4,000 per
year for the purpose of keeping up
Prince Cupid's royal encourage.
The social status of this dusky scion
of royalty is already agitating Wash
