I regreUed:'tH-it +1? ??ould not go. but frjirrrnifsfd Jane I would send T*r"hndon in my plaie, and lie would answer the purpose of protection far better than I.

Brldwell servants, who waa in attendance upon the princess.^ "Yes, your grace, this.is th?1 Kate," said the girl. "You can hide \ourself and watch them as they ko. They will pass out on this path. As I aaid, I do not know where they, are going: I only over- . heard them say they would go out at this gate just before ^ark. I am sur?1 they go on some errand of gallantry, which your grace will sonn learn, I make no doubt." He replied that he "would tak?> | cure of that." Hranddfc did fiot see where Buck ingham hid himself, hut soon the two Innocent adventurers acme down the path, attired in short skirts and bonnets of orange girls, and let themselves out at the gate. Buckingham followed them and Brandon quickly followed him. The girls passeri through a little pos tern ln the Vrall opposi!??

He. .however, kept as clOHe as possible, and presently saw them turn d-iwn flrouche'a alley and enter his house. Brandon Waits. I itou learning where they had stopped, Buckingham hurriedly took himself off. end Brandon waited for the girls to come out. It seemed a very long lime that they were In the wretched place, and darkness had well descended upon I,?.Tiilini when they emerged. Mary soon noticed that u man was following them, and as she .*. did not know who he^vaa, became 1 greatly alarmed. The object of ! b? r journey had been accomplished now, so the spur of a strong mo tive to keep ber courage up was lacking. "Jane, some one Is following us," she whispered. "Ves." answered Jane, with an unconcern that surprised Mary, for she knew Jane .wait a coward from the top of her bl^ewihead to the tip of her tittle pink heels. "Oh, if I had only taJcen your advice, Jane, and hnd -never come to this wit tolled , prlace;;.*>rid to think, too, that I came "bere only + to learn the worst.

Opposing Thoughts. Now this disclosure operated in two ways. Brandon's presence was. it is true, Just what Mary had so ardently wished, but the danger, and, therefore, the need, was gone when she found that the man who was foUowing them had no evil Intent. Two thoughts ?tulckly flashed through the girl's mind. She was angry with Bran don for* having eheat??d her out of so many favors and for having slighted 'her love, aa she had suc ceeded ln convincing herself was the case, all of which Grouclie had confirmed by telling her he was false. Then she had been discov ered ln doing what she knew she should have left undone, and what she was anxious to conceal from every one: and, frorst of all, had been discovered hy the very per son from whom she was most anxious to hide it. . ' , 80 she turned upon Jan?? angrily: "Jans Boltngbroke, you shall leave tue a? sooo as we get hack to Ore?>nwioh for this betrayal of my confidence." She was not afraid now that tn?? danger was over, and ftare?! no new danger with Brandon at hand to protect her, for in her heart she felt that to overcome a few fiery dragons and a company or so of giants would be a mere pas time to him: yet see how she tri-at ???1 him. The girls had stoppen when Jane railed Brandon, ami he was at once by their Bide with un covered head, hoping for, and, of couree, expecting, a warm wel come. But even Brandon, with his fund of worldly philosophy, had not learned not to put his trust In princesses, and his surprise was I ?n uinl.i ? ?.? when Mary turned angrily ui>on him. "?Master Brandon, ywur Impu dence In following us shall cost you dearly.

AFTER Carlotta had told me of her decision to put An thony Norreys out of her life we drove on again toward the city In silence. Young Parkin son wus sitting on the front of the car with Pat. It was not until we had left the fragrant country roads and drove back Into the city and were en gulfed l>y the teeming traffic of its nartvw streets that he showed ?ny consciousness of other folks in the car besides Pat and himself. Then he turned with a word of Appreciation, which he repeated most earnestly when 1'at drop|s?d me at my office on his way fur ther downtown.

Miss May was waiting for me, ?nd her greeting was so cheerful ?nd graceful that it acted like aun ghine on a dewy oojitveb. I found my troubles evaporating. "That Mr. Lae*? telephoned eiprlv this morning," said Miss May the moment I was established at my desk. "I told him I'd get him on the wire the moment you came In." After our exchange of "good mornings" he cried in his firm, ?teady voice: "Our Derrlngforth stock Is quoted better every minute, Mrs. Harrison.

"Name your hour nnd I'll try to make it mine if it's about five or five thirty this afternoon." "It Is!" I laughed. "Five-thirty:" came from Mr. Lacy, who evidently has a diplo mat's talent for getting his own way by coaxing it from the other person. "Five-thirty." I replied, as terse ly. "Au "volr."
