and, although she was his queen fast
and sure enough, she was not his wife.

all her heart.
So Mary was crowned and was now
a queen and hedged about by the tin
seled divinity that hedgeth royalty.
It seemed that she was climbing
| higher and higher all the time from
Brandon, but in her heart every day
| she was brought nearer to him.
There was one thing that troubled
her greatly, and all the time. Henry
had given his word that Brandon should
be liberated as soon as Mary had left
the shores of England, but we had
heard nothing of this matter, although
we had received several letters from
home. A doubt of her brother, in
whom. she had little faith at best, made
| an ache at her heart which seemed at
times likely to break-so she said.
| One night she dreamed that she had
witnessed Brandon's execution, her
brother standing by in excellent hui

hours that by evening she was i'll. At

which had been delayed along the
road, containing one for Mary. It
told Of his full pardon and restora ton
to favor, greater even than before, and
her Joy was SO sweet and quiet and yet
so softly delirious that I tell you plain

could not hold them back.
| The marriage, when once determined
upon, had not cast her down nearly so
deep as I had expected, and soon she
| grew to be quite cheerful and happy.
This filed me with regret, for thought
of how Brandon must suffer, and felt
that her heart was poor, fimsy thing
to take this trouble SO lightly.

laughed. MARY is all right" said she.

better than you think, perhaps. You

her own way in the end"

''Sir Edwin Caskoden, you need not

unless you can use language more re-

queen knows what she is about, but it
appears that you cannot see it. I see
it plainly though, although no word
has ever been spoken to me on the SUBJ

it seems to me she is tied to him and
that he holds the reins. He could drive
her into the mouth Of purgatory."

In truth, the time had come to me
when l believed that Jane, with her
good sense and acute discernment,
