She put her praldy head to one side with a gay and innocent blandishment which I would have known the world over for my lady's way,

"I am too konoared."

"So wo shall come upon my lord. How else should I find him in such a multitude? Your hand, Master Harry."

I gave her my hand to lead her to the dancing-fear.

"What mask does my lord wear?" I asked. "He will have three golden lilies marcost for the hadga of Henry of Valvin

"Strange!" I said half to myself. "I have. seen such a mask, but the figure and the bearing I shook! have thought to belong to his Majesty whose whine is for this night till midnight strikes to lose himself among his subjects."

For how much evil must have passed her by, and loft her unscathed! Yet was she merry. poor lady, and loved to laugh as much as any chile; and afterwards that suma merriment was made to appear against her.

Now the Earl of Castletowers was gout into Franes on privy business for the King, and the time of his abnen was chosen for that attempt. apon the honour and happiness of his lady, the instigator of which is yet unknown Buy at the Judgment of God. The occasion was that of a masked ball given in honour of the Queen's name-day, and Castletowers, ers he set out. had conveyal to his lady his wishes that she should not attend it. "For it is not becoming," he said, "that a lady without the protection of her husband should go rafling it among masquers, to whom, ales the honor of the husband is but a jest, and of the wife a scoll. Bide there- fore, dear heart, at our lodging, so that I shall be assured of your safety, and shail dream of you asloup in moonlight with the smile upon your face which the last thought of me hath left there.'

When it was known that by her Majesty's permission the Lady Castletowers would not attend the ball, there were many who strove to change her. Even the King himself rallied her, declaring that her husband's uzoriona jealousy would rob the ball of its fairest mast She laughed with her liquid eyes and her scarlet lips, and met the King's gaze us frankly as any by might have done. But it was no use to try to win her from her purpose of being absent from the Name-night Ball

That man who planned this wickedness truly feared neither Gul nor man, nor did they spare to bring the King's majesty within their machi nations, counting no doubt that the King in the rosult would forgive them.

The samo ovoning was conveyed a letter to Lady Castletowers, purporting to come from her lord: but all this we knew too late.

I was looking from the gallery upon the hall with itsgay andsplendid masks, all movingstately to the music of a minuet, when a hand was laid upon my arm, a hand, I daresay, whiter than any there, though it had once known how to milk cows and gather the batter from the chura.
