ties. AS to his standing with Mary, who
was really the most important figure So
cially. about the court, could not exact
ly say. She was such mixture OF con-
Trajectory impulses and rapid transitions
and was so full Of whins and caprice the
inevitable outgrowth Of her blood her
rank and the adulation amid which she
had always lived, that I could not predict
for a day ahead her attitude toward any
one. She had never shown 80 great favor
to any man as to Brandon, but Just how
much of her condescension was q mere
whim growing out OF the impulse Of the
moment, and subject to reaction could
not tell. believed, however, that Bran
don stood upon a hrmer foundation with
this changing. shifting. quicksand Of a
girl than with either OF thee Matesties.
In fact, | thought he rested upon her
a girl OF that sort will do. or think. or
feel would require inspiration,
OF course most Of the entertainments
given by the King and Queen include as
guests nearly all the court but Mary
often had little fetes and dancing parties
which were smaller, more select and in
formal. These parties were really with
King. to avoid the responsibility OF not
inviting everybody. The larger affairs
were very ouil ana smauer ones might
give offense TO those who were left out.
The latter, therefore, were turned over TO
Mary. who cared very little who was Of
Tended or who was not. and Invitations TO
them were highly valued
One afternoon, a day or two after
Brandon's presentation, a message ar
rived from Mary. notifying me that she
would have little fete that evening IN
one Of the smaller halls and directing ma
to be there as Master Of the Dance. Ac-
companytng the message was a note from
no less a parsonage than the Princess
herself, inviting Brandon
This was an honor indeed-an auto

But the masterful rascal did not seem 10
consider It anything unusual and when
handed him the note upon his return from
the hunt, he simply read II carelessly over
once, tore It In pieces and tossed 1t away.
