"May I ask your ladyship further to
say for me that if 1 have been guilty of
any discourtesy I greatly regret it. aly
failure to recognize the Princess Mery
grew out of my misfortuae In never
having been allowed to bask iu the
light of her countenauee. I cannot be-
lieve the fault liessnt my door, and I
hope for her owu sake that her high-
ness on second thought will realize how
ungentle and unkind some one else has
been." And with a sweeping courtesy
he walked quickly down the path.
"The insolent wretch!" cried one.
"He ought to hold papers on the pil-
lory," said another.
"Nothing of the sort," broke in sensi-
ble, fearless little Jane. "I thiuk the
Lady Mary was wrong. Ile could not
have known her by inspiration."
"Jane is right," exclaimed Mary,
wbose temper, if short, was also short
Jived and whose kindly heart always
set her right if she but gave it a little
time. Her faults were rather those of
education than of nature. "Jane is
right. It was what I deserved. I did
not think when I spoke and did not
really mean it as it sounded. He acted
like a man and looked like one, too,
when he defended himself. I warrant
the pope at Rome could not run over
him with impunity. For once I have
found a real live man, full of manli-
ness. I saw him in the lists at Windsor
a week ago, but the king said his name
was a secret, and I could not learn it.
He seemed to k.now you, Jane. Who is
he? Now tell us all you know. The
queen can wait."
And her majesty waited on a girl's
curiosity.
I had told Jane all I knew about
Brandon, so she was prepared with
full information and gave it. She told
the princess who he was, of his ter-
rible duel with Judson, his bravery
and adventures in the wars, his gener-
ous gift to his brother and sisters, and,
lastly, "Sir Edwin says he Is the best
read man in the court and the .bravest,
truest heart in.Christendont."
After Jane's account of Brandon
they all Started by a ,roundabout way
for the marble landing. In a few mo-
ments whom did they seecoming to-
ward them down the path but Bran.
don, who had delivered his message
and continued his walk. When . he
KM whom he was about to meet, he
quickly turned in another direction.
The Lady Mary had seen him, how-
ever, and told Jane to run forward and
bring him to her. She soon overtook
him and said:
"Master Brandon, the princess
wishes to see you," then -maliciously:
"You will suffer this time. I assure
you she is not used to such treatment.
It was glorious, though, to see you re-
sent such an affront. Men usually
smirk and smile foolishly and thank
her when she sraites them."
Brandon was disinclined to return..
"I am not in her highness' com-
mand," he answered, "and do mit care
to go back for a reprimand when I am
in no way to blame."
"Oh, but you must come. Perhaps
she will not scold this time."' And she
pat her hand upon his arm and laugh.'
itraly drew him along. Brandon ot
course had to submit when led by 90
sweet a •captor -anybody would. .. So
fresh and fair and lovable was Jane
that I am suieaanything masculine
must have given way. • •
Coming up to the princess and her
ladies, who were • waiting, Jane said, .
"Lady Mary, :let me present Master
Brandon, who, if he has offended in
any way, humbly sues for pardon.'S
That was the one thing Brandon bad
no notion on earth of doing, but he let
it go as Jane had put it, and this was
his reward:
"It is not Master Brandon who
should sue for pardon," responded the
princess. "It is I who Was wrong. I
blush for what I did and said. Forgive
me, sir. and let us start anew." At this
she stepped up to Brandon and offered
him her hand, which he, dropping to
his knee, kissed most gallantly.
"Your highness, you ean well afford
to offend when you have e0 sweet and
gracious a talent for 'making amends.
'A wrong acknowledged,' as some One

has said, 'becomes an obligation.'" He
looked straight into the girl's eyea
he said this, and his gaze was altogeth-
er too strong for ber, so the lashea fell.
She flushed and said, with a etude that
brought the dimples:
"I thank you. That is a real conspla
ment." Then laughingly: "Mitch better
than extravagant comments on one's
skin and eyes and hair, We are going
to the queen at the marble lanaing.
Will you walk with us, .sir?" And they
strolled away togethe , while the other
girls followed in a 111sper1bg,
ing group.

with a snrile trying* its best to break

"Oh, you have not Well. bow would •

"I don't know, but I think I should
• like it from some persons," be replied,
looking ever so innocent. •
Title savored of familiarity after so
• brief an acquaintance and caused the
princess to glance up in slightsurprise,
but only for the instant, for his Inno-
cent look disarmed her.
"I have a mind to ace," she returned,
laughing and throwing her head back
as she looked up at him gut of the car- .
ner of her lustrous eyes. "But I will
pay you a better compliment. 1 posi-
tively thank you tor the :rebuke. I do
many things like that for which I: am
always. sorry. Oh, you don't know how.
difficult it is to be a good .princess!".
And she shook her head with a gather
ing of little trouble wrinkles in her
forehead, as much as to say, "There is
no getting away' from it, though." Then
she breathed a soft little sigh of tribu-
tenon as they walked on.
"I knew it must be a task to be good
when everybody eatters :even one's
shortcomings," said Brandon and then,
continued in a WaY that, I am free to
confess, was sontethitig priggish: "at is
almost impossible for us to see our
own faults even *bee others are kind
enough to point them out, for they are
right ugly things and unpleasant to
look upon. But, lacking those •ontside
nionitors; one must all the more culti-
vate the habit of constant inlopking
and self examination. If .we are only -
brave enough to confront our faults
. and look them in the face, uglyas they
are, we shall be sure to overcomethe
worst of .them. A striving toward good
will achieve at least a part Of it.": •
"cella returned the 'princess, "But

: "I fear, Master Brandon, you are the
toot adroit flatterer of all," said Mary, '

Brandon Wisely let the lest •suggea

• "God fOtbidl" said Brandt* rever-
ently.
Whey were growing rather geritAlg,
Mary turned the conversation again
into the laughing mood and. said, with

CHAPTER IV.

LAITGUED heartily when Jane
told rue or the tilt between
Braudou and Princess alary,
the latter of whom was in the
habit of saying unkind things end be-
ingthantsed for them.
Brandon Was the wrong man to say
them to, as Mary learned. Ile was not

-but be Was the last luau to brook an
affront and the quickest to resent in it

He respected himself and made oth-
ers do the same, or seem to do so id
least. He had no vanity, which is but
an inordinate desire for those qualities
that bring self respect anti often the re-
sult of conscious demerit, but he kneW
hill:welt and knew that he was entitled
to his own good opinion. Ile was every
Inch a man, strong, intehigent and
brave to temerity, with a reckless dis-
regard of consequences, svhich might
have been dangerous had it not been

caution that gave hitn
I was not surprised when I heard Of
the encounter, for I knew enougb. eif
hira to be sure that afery's high handed-
• ness would meet its counterpart in ray
coolsMend Brandon. It was, however,
an unfortunate victory, and what all
Mary's beauty and brightness would
have failed to do her honest, open ac-
knowiedgment of Wrong, following .so
• quickly upon the heels of her fault, ac-
complisbed elially. It drew him within,
• the drele of ber.fatal attractions, and
when Jane told me of it I knew his fate
was sealed and that sooner or later his
untouched heart and cool heed Would
fall victins to the shafts that so surely
winged all others.
It might. and probably would be
"later," since, as Brandon had said, he
was not. One of those who wear the

help. But never was man's heart strong
enough to resiat Mary • Tudor's while
