Charles Brandon was a real soldier of fortune in the reign of King Henry VIII of England. He had the termerity to fall head over heels in love with the King’s sister, just at the time that no- torious monarch wanted to marry her to the doddering old King of France, whom she hated, with a healthy girl’s hatred of anything so licentious and antiquated. Mary Tudor was King Henry's sister. She was more. She was the most beautiful girl in Eugope. Moreover, she had glorious au- burn hair, and she was only nineteen. She fell in love with Charles Brandon before he fell in love with her, and to get his kisses she went to such extremes of recklessness that Charles’ head was in con- stant danger of being lopped off on the block. More than once he went to prison for her, and more than once she saved him and re- paid him and again jeopardized him at one and the same time with more kisses. Eventually she married the old French King and Bran- don, too, all of which, though more than passing strange, is set forth at delightful length in “WHEN ENIGHTHOOD WAS IN FLOW- ER,"WHICH YOU GET FREE—ABSOLUTELY FREE—IN THREE NUMBERS OF THE SUNDAY CALL BEGINNING JANUARY 11.
