". As soon as the restraint OF the OLD
kings presence, light as it had been,
was removed, the young king opened
his. attack upon Mary in dreadful ear
nest. He begged and pleaded and
swore his love, which was surely
manifest enough, and within three days
after the old kings death offered to
divorce Claude and make Mary his
queen. When she refused this datter-
ing offer, his surprise was genuine.
''Do you know what you refuses" he
asked in q temper. Il. offer to make
you my wife-queen of 100000 Of the
greatest subjects on earth-and are you
such fool as to refuse gift like that,
and man like me for husband?
'"That am, your majesty, and With
a good grace. I am queen of France
without your help and care not so much
as one penny for the honor. 1t Is great
er to be princess Of England. AS for
this love you avow, would make so
bold as to suggest that You have q
good, true wife, to whom you would do
well to give it all. To me it is moth
ing, even were you thousand times
the king you are. My heart is anoth-
er's, and I have my brothers permis-
sion to marry him."
"Another's? Gods soul! Tell me-
who this fellow is that may spit him
on my sword"
mo, no! You would not. Even were
you as valiant and grand as you think
yourself, you would be but child I'm
his hands,"
Francis was furious, and had Mary'9
apartments guarded to prevent her es-
cape, swearing he would have his way.
AS soon as Brandon and I arrived
In Paris we took private lodgings, and
we'll it was that we did. I at once
went out to reconnoiter, and found the
widowed queen a prisoner in the old
Palace des Tournelles. With the help
of Queen Claude secretly obtained an
interview and learned the true state
of affairs.
Had Brandon been recognized and
his mission known in Paris he would
certainly have been assassinated by
order Of Francis.
When I saw the whole situation, with
Mary nothing less than q prisoner i'm
the palace, l was ready to give up
without struggle, but not so Mary
Her brain was worth having, so fer
tile was it in expedients, and, while I
was ready to despair, she was only
getting herself in good fighting order.
After Mary's refusal of Francis, and
| after he had learned that the sacrifice
Of Claude would not help him, he grew
| desperate and determined to keep the
English girl in his court at any price
and by any means. So he hit upon the
scheme Of marrying her to his weak
minded cousin, the Count of Savoy.
To that end he sent hurried embassy
to Henry WILL. offering, in case of the
Savoy marriage, to pay back Mary's
dover of 100000 crowns. He offered to.
help Henry in the matter Of the impe-
rial crown in case of Maximilian's.

King Louis could have given. He also
offered to confirm Henry in all his.
French possessions and to relinquish.
all claims of his own thereto-all as the
price of one eighteen-year-old girl. Do.
you wonder she had an exalted esti--
mate of her own value?
AS to Henry, it of course need not be-
said that half the price offered WOULD
| have bought him to break an oath,

Bjornson had an audience of 5000
when he delivered q political speech
in Trondjem.
King Oscar wrote poem on Tne
North Storm while staying at Mar
strand last summer. Most of the pro-
duction is good, readable poetry.
Henry V. Berghell, who was ex-
PEELED from Sweden and who after
wards went through series Of re-
markaDle ups and downs in America,
is visiting old haunts in Sweden.
The Norwegians are up to date in
politics, and this means that some
of them will manage to say mean
things just before election. The fol-
lowing is an instance: Bjornson sup
ported the Rightists so effectively
during the recent campaign that if it
had not been for him the Leftists
would perhaps have remained in
power for another three-year period.
1t has been suggested that Bjornson
ought to have one-half of the literary
Nobel prize of $4,000 for the year
1908. This prize is awarded by the
Swedish academy. The Swedes favor
the Rightists. The enemies of Bjorn-
son saw their chance, and used it.
They said in substance: "Bjornson
wants the prize. The Swedes award
the prize He can turn the Swedes
in his favor by supporting the Swed-
ish party in Norwegian politics." But
Bjornson at once wrote laundering
letter to the effect that Henrik Ibsen
by right ought to receive the whole
prize.

history of that literature which has
appeared up to date. Next no took

documents from road officials giving them

negroes have been firemen on roads in the
