the same time. Furthermore, he felt a
certain sense Of delight in owing his
life to her. and knew that the fact that
she had saved him, that her sacrifice
had not all been in vain, would make
it easier for her to bear.
The most beautiful feature of the re-
lations between these two lovers was
their entire faith in each other. The
way of their true love was at least not
however impossible it was from noun
tains Of opposition.
My inability to deliver Mary's letters
did not deter her from writing them,
and as she was to be married in a few
days-De Longueville to act as proxy
she devoted her entire time to her let
tiers and wrote pages upon pages, which
she left with me to be delivered "after
death" as she called her marriage
At this time I was called away from
court for day or two, and when re-
turned and called upon Brandon at the
Tower found him whistling and sing
ing, apparently as happy as a lark.
''You heartless dog!" thought I at
first, but soon found that he felt more
than happiness-exaltation
"Have you seen her?" 1 asked.
"Who?' AS if there were more than
one woman in all the world for him.
"The princess"
"Not since I left her at Bristol"
believed then, and believe now
that this was point blank falsehood,
very unusual thing for Brandon, but
for some reason probably necessary in
this case.
There was an expression in his face
which I could not interpret, but he
wrote, as If carelessly scribbling on a
scrap Of paper that lay upon the table,
the words, "Be careful" and I took
the hint-we were watched. There is
an unpleasant sensation when one feels
that he is watched by unseen eyes, and
after talking for awhile on common
topics left and took boat for Green
witch.
When I arrived at the palace and
saw Mary, what was my surprise to
find her as bright and jubilant as had
left Brandon. She, too, laughed and
sang and was SO happy that she light
ed the whole room. What did it all
mean? There was but one explana-
ton. They had met. and there was
some new plan on foot-with a fatal
ending. The next failure would mean
death to Brandon as certainly as the
sun rises in the east. What the plan
was could not guess. With Brandon

III am all to blame, and am ready this
day to pay the penalty. am at your

ically.
Poor, fair Proserpina, with no kind
mother Demeter to help her. The
ground will soon open, and Pluto will
have his bride.
That evening Cavendish took me
sside and said his master, Wolsey,
wished to speak to me privately at a
convenient opportunity. So when the
bishop left his card table an hour later
l threw myself in his way. He spoke
gayly to me, and we walked down the
corridor arm in arm. l could not I'M
agine what was wanted, but presently
1t came out: my dear Caskoden"-had
been one for whom he could have had
any use should have grown suspi-
c1ous-"my dear Caskoden, l know

which have to say is for the happi-
ness Of your friends. I am sure you
will never name me in connection with
the suggestion l am about to make, and
will use the thought only as your
own"
did not know what was coming,
but gave him the strongest assurance
of my trustworthiness.
1T Is this: Louis of France is little
better than dead man. King Henry,
perhaps, is not fully aware of this. and
If he is he has never considered the
probability Of his speedy death. The
thought occurred to me that although
the princess cannot dissuade her broth
er from this marriage, she may be able,
in view Of her ready and cheerful CON-
pliance, to extract some virtue out of
her sore necessity and induce him to
promise that in case Of the death Of
Louis she herself shall choose her Sec
ond husband"

the point. 1T is small wonder you rule
this land. You have both brain and
heart"
that both may always be at the serv-
ice Of you and your friends"
gave the suggestion to Mary as my
own. recommending that she proffer
her request to the king in the presence
Of Wolsey, and, although she had little
faith or hope, she determined to try.
Within day or two an opportunity
offered. and she said to Henry: II am
ready to 60 to France any time you
wish, and shall do it decently and will
ingly, but If I do so much for you,
brother. you might at least promise

give her promise in the matter Of 20
much Importance to US, and in 50 small
thing as this I hope you may see
your way clear toward favoring her.
The interview will be the last and may
help to make her duty easier" Mary
gave the cardinal feeting glance
from her lustrous eyes full Of surprise
and gratitude and as speaking as q
book.
Henry looked from one to the other
OF us for q moment and broke into a.
boisterous laugh.

Is true. Suspicion and representative
ness are at once the badge and the
bane of little soul.
I did not leave the Tower until noon,
and Brandon's pardon had been deliv-
cred to him before left. He was glad
that the first news OF 1t had come from
Mary.
He naturally expected his liberty at
once, and when told that he was to be
honorably detained for a short time
turned to me and said: Il suppose they
are afraid to let me out until she is of
for France. King Henry fatters me-"
looked out of the window up Tower
street and said nothing.
When left, took letter to Mary,
which plainly told her he had OWNED
1t all, and she wrote tear stained an
swer, begging him to forgive her for
having saved his life at cost greater
than her own.
For several days I was kept busy
carrying letters from Greenwich to the
Tower and back again, but soon letters
ceased to satisfy Mary, and she made
up her mind that she must see him.
Nothing else would do. She must not,
could not and, in short. would not go
another day without seeing him-no,
not another hour. Jane and opposed
her all we could, but the best we could
accomplish was to induce her for Bran
don's sake-for she was beginning to
see that he was the one who had to
suffer for her indiscretions - to ask
Henry's permission, and If he refused
then try some other way. To deter
mine was to act with Mary, so off she
went without delay to hunt the king,
taking Jane and me along as escort.
How full we were Of important bust
ness as we scurried along the corridors,
one on each side Of Mary, all talking
excitedly at once! When anything was
to be done, it always required three Of
us to do it.
We found the king, and without any
prelude Mary proffered her request.
OF course it was refused. Mary pouted
and was getting ready for an outburst
when Wolsey spoke up: with your
majesty's gracious permission. would

In the Tower under guard both day
and night, and Mary as closely guarded
in the palace, could not see any way
Of escape for either of them, nor how
they could possibly have come together.
Brandon had not told me, supposed,
for fear of being overheard, and Mary,
although she had the opportunity, was
equally noncommunicatve, so l had
recourse to Jane upon the first occa-
sion. She, by the way, was as blue
and sad faced as Mary was joyous.
asked her if the princess and Brandon
had met, and she sadly said: II do not
know. We went down to London yes
terday, and as we returned stopped
at Bridewell House, where we found
the king and Wolsey. The princess
left the room, saying she would return
in a few minutes, and then Wolsey
went out, leaving me aloneswith the
king. Mary did not return for half an
hour, and she may have seen Master
Brandon during that time. 1 do not
understand how the meeting could
have occurred, but that is the only time

may marry whomsoever I wish. He
will probably live forever, but let me
have at least that hope to give me what
cheer it may while>I suffer-
The ever present Wolsey, who was
standing near and heard Mary's petit
ton, interposed: LET me add my pray
er to that Of her highness. We must
give her her own way in something"
Mary was such complete picture of
wretchedness that I thought at the
time she had really found tender spot
in Henry's heart, for he gave the prom
Use. Since then have learned, as you
will shortly, that it was given SIM
ply to pacify the girl, and without any
intention whatever Of it's being kept,
but that, in case Of the death of King
Louis, Henry intended again to use
his sister to his own advantage.
To be beautiful princess is not to
enjoy the bliss some people imagine.
The earth is apt to open at any time
and Pluto to snatch her away to-the
Lord knows where.
Mary again poured out her soul on
paper-a Hbation intended for Brandon
made dozen attempts in as many
different ways to deliver her letters,
but every effort was a failure, and this
missive met the fate Of the others. De
Longueville kept close watch on his
masters rival and complained to Hen
~ about these attempts at communica-
ton. Henry laughed and said he would
zee that they were stopped, but paid
no more attention to the matter.
If Mary, before her interview with
Henry, had been averse to the French
marriage, she was now equally anx-
ious to hurry it on, and longed to 60
upon the rack in order that Brandon
might be free. He. Of course, objected
az strenuously as possible to the pur-
chase Of his life by her marriage to
Louis, but his better judgment told
HMM fact, had told him from the
first she would be compelled
eventually to marry the French king,
and common sense told him II it must
be she might as well save his life at

LIVELY SCRAP.
Between Mr.. Landman and ValhaIa
Club Caterer.

Quite lively fSht occurred today
at noon just in front of the Valhalla
club rooms on West Second avenue
between Mr. Landman, a cotton buyer
and J. w. Mullins, the negro caterer
at the Nalhalla club. The trouble is
alleged to have started last night when
Mr.. Landman entered the club rooms
and called on Mullins for a drink For
some reason Mullins did not wait on
the white man quickly enough and
Landman hastened his actions by bat
ting him over the head with a glass.
The german was in progress at the
time and the affair caused no little
excitement, but Mullins did not re-
sent the blow. This morning Mullins
was standing in front of the club
rooms when Mr.. Landman passed and
the negro at once accosted him with a
question as to whether he was the
one who struck the blow last night.
Upon being answered in the affirma-
tive, lnose who saw the trouble say
that Mullins Immediately jumped on
Landman and beat him up severely.
Mr. LanGzflan sought refuge in the of
flee of w. H. Bennitt and company
across the street and the affair was
hushed up. Up TO the time Of going
to press, no warrant had been issued
for Mullins arrest.

The Graphic has interviewed a mum
ber Of merchants and city officials and
all speak in favor of extending the
state guard an invitation to come to
Pine Bluff next year. There is no rea-
for and entertain the state troops as
we'll as Hot Springs or any other city

expresses himself as being heartily in
favor of the plan and suggests num-
ber of excellent places near the city
where the encaEr,nent could be held.
The only objection that can be found
is the scarcity of hotel accommodation
for the VISITORS. There has already
been some talk Of a new hotel being
built in this city in the near future
and this with the present hotels
afford ample accommodation.
This city is easily accessible by
two railroads and has as good con-
nection with Little Rock as Hot
Springs. Pine Bluff is nearly in the
geographical center of the state and
ranking as the second city, should have
a bid for the encampment. The mat
ter has Leen laid before persons VINO
have become interested, and it is very
probable that an invitation will be
sent to the executive staff. The an
rual state encampment has now be-
come an assured fact, and already the
executive committee are casting about
TO find suitable location in which 10
hold it. Little Rock seems to take no
interest in the affair. while Hot
Springs is bending every effort for the
return of the troops. Pine Bluff Will
not be behind in extending an invita-
