The years went by again. At last all was changed in lengland. The Imonarehy was restored, and all the land was smiling and content. One day there was a private reading In the queen's chamber. The voice et the reader moved in pleasant yet v*braut (modulations:— "The king was now come to a time when his enemies wiokediy begcun to plot against him secretly and to op- pose• him in bis purposes; which, in his own mend, were beneficent and magn- anianous. 'Prom Lim ahire where his labors had been most unselfish came the first malignant 11380.11 to his per- son and the first peril to hie 1Lte—pre- figuriug rho hellish plots and violence which drove hum to his august martyr- dom—" The king had entered quietly as the lady-im-wactlug had read this L)asbage to the queen, and unmated by her voice, continued to listen, signifying to tbe queen, by a gesture, that she and her ladies were not to rise. This Was in the time when Charles was yet devoted to his Princess of Portugal, and while she was yet happy and undisturbed by rumors -or assurances—of leer lord's wandering affections. "And what shire was that?" asked the king et that point where tbe ooronioler spoke of his royal father's "august martyrdom."

"Enderby?

It is not al here your majesty, but I can tell what so many 1n1, England and something of what no one know g in Engeand knows.,' The queen put out her hand as if to stay the telling, for she saw what' an impression her fair reader had made upon the king. But the young lady sate no one save Obarles—she did not note the entrance of two gentlemen, one of whom looked at her in surprise. This was Sir Richard Mowbray of Leicester. The other was Lord Rip- pingda.e (now lord chamberlain), who bad brought Sir Richard thither at the request of the king. Sir Richard had been - momentarily expected on his return from a mission to Spain, and my lord bad orders- to bring him to the king en the very instant of his arrival. The king waved leis hand when Lord RLppingdaie would have come forward, and the young lady continued with the history of John Enderby. She forgot her surroundings. It seemed as if she was giving vent to the suppressed feel - imaginations, sufferings and wrongs of years. Respectfully, but sad- ly, when speaking of the dead king' e.0quently, tenderly, when speaking of i her father; bitterly, when speaking of 0iiver Cromwell, she told the story with a point, a force and a passionate into ligeace which brought to the face of Charles a look of serious admiration. He straightened himself where he sat, and did not let his eyes warden from the young lady's face. As she spoke of Six Garrett Enderby and his acts— his desertion when Lord Rippingdaie laid siege to the house, his quarrel with his father, the trial of his son, the father's refusal to testify against him, and the second outlawing by Crom- well—her voice faltered, but she told the tale bravely and datsrminedly; for she now saw Lord Ripptngdale to the chamber 1 Whenever she had men- tioned his name in the narrative it was with a little inflection et scorn, which caused the king to smile, and when she spoke of the ruin of Enderby !louse, Her brother's death and her father's years of exthe, tears came into the queens eyes and the king nodded his head in sympathy, Sir Richard Mowbray, with face af;ame, watched her olosoly. As she finished 11cr story he drew aside to where she could not see hint without limning round. But Lord llippingdale she saw with ease, and she mer, his eyes firmly, and one should say, were she not a woman, with some little mali- cious triumph.
