&
Br SIK WALTKB SCOTT
Cuvlimmtlft by
T. L. H-d «/
Walter Scott was
born In Edinburgh
on Aug:. 15. 1771.
His father was a
lawyer*. the first
of the Scott line
to leave the open
country for the
town.
For a man who
wrote such a pro
digious amount
Scott was surpris
ingly late In get
ting started. He
was 84 years old
when his first
original work ap
peared. "The Lay
of the Last Mln
strel.** From that
moment until his
death, on Sept Kl.
1831. ne was. with |
the possible exception ur Byron, me
most popular writer In English.
When the public seemed to be tiring
of his long romances In verse, he
turned to novel writing, and In 1814.
when he wus 43, he came Into hts
career of greatness with "Waverley."
For 18 years novel after novel fol
lowed in rapid succession, stirring ro
mances of history or colorful tales of
Scottish life. They wero all published
anonymously until the financial dis
aster of 1825 made it seem wise to
reveal the author's name.
Fully a dozen of the Waverley
Novels, if not more, might be included
In anr list of 100 novels and many
loyal lovers of Scott would even then
think that one or two more might be
added. He was. as Stevenson re
marked. "the king of the romantics."
"Waverley.** "Ivanhoe." "The Heart
Of Midlothian.'* and "Kenllworth" are
representative of Scott at his best.
But "Old Mortality." "Quentin Dur
ward," "The Talisman.** "Gjy Manner
Ing.** "The Fortunes of Nigel," "The
Antiquary." * 8t Ronan's Well," "Rob
Roy." and Indeed others have all been
ranked as favorites among the In
numerable admirers of the romances
wrlflen by "the Wizard of tho North."
E Heart of Midlothian, by
nany called tbe finest of the
jVaverley Novels, wns pub
tshed anonymously In 1818. It takes
ts name from the Tolbooth, or old city
lall. In Edlnburg (pulled down In
1815), the "stony heart" of Midlothian,
which reared Its ancient front In the
rery middle of the High street j>t the
On the afternoon, of September 8,
1786, Reuben Butler, assistant-master
>f the school at Llbberton, and licensed
ntnlster of the gospel, found himself
n unexpected trouble. First of all,
le had become entangled with the
?rowd of good citizens of Edlnburg
n the Grassmarket, murmuring at the
jostponement of the execution of Cap
sin John Porteons of the City Guard.
They were still In the heat of anger
'rom the events of the preceding day,
jvhen "Porteous had ordered his men
:o Are, and had fired himself, upon
:be erowd, some of whom were at
tempting to cut down the body of;
•Scotch" Wilson, the famous smuggler.
Several Innocent citizens had been
tilled. Jfpw that the chief.
dty.
teemed nifeiy to escape, there was no
tnowing what the mob might do. The
inlet young pedagogue would gladly
lave returned to Llbberton. Then, to
lis consternation, he learned that Effle
Deans, the younger and more charming
lister of his sweetheart Jeanle Deans.
Eras Imprisoned In the Tolbooth.
When he had Inst seen Effle, more
!han a year before, she had been a
)eautlful and blooming girl, the lily
»f Saint Leonard's. Many a traveler
;>ast her father's cottage had stopped
als horse on the eve of entering Edin
Durg, to gaze at her as she tripped by
tilm, with her milk-pall poised on her
head, bearing herself so erect, and
stepping so light and free under her
tiurden that It seemed rather an orna
ment than an encumbrance. Now the
poor girl, scarce eighteen years of age,
lay In the Tolboofh, charged with child
murder.
The facts were that after working
for a time In a shop In Edlnburg, the
unhappy prisoner had disappeared for
the space of a week, and then made
tier appearance before her sister at
Saint Leonard's In a state that had
rendered Jeanle only too certain of
her misfortune. But to all questions
she had remained mute as the grave,
until -the officers of Justice had come
to apprehend her.
Before Reuben Butler could see her,
the Tolbooth was closed; and before
he could escape from the city a crowd
of rioters compelled him to return with
them to the Jail and administer the
last rites to Port pons, whom they
dragged forth to death.
The leader of the mob, a young man
disguised In woman's clothes, gel red
a moment In the midst of the turmoil
In the Jail to beg Effle to escape. "For
God's sake—for your own sake—for
my sake—flee, or they'll take your
Ufe," was all that he had time to say.
The girl gazed after him for a mo
ment. and then, faintly muttering,
"Better tyne life, since tint Is gude
fame," she sunk her head upon her
band, and remained, seemingly, as un
conscious as a statue, of the noise and
tumult which passed around her.
In the morning, on his way to see
Jeanle and her father at Saint Leon
ard's, Butler encountered In the King's
park a young man of noble bearing,
hut strangely agitated, who bade him
"tell Jeanle Deans that, when the moon
rises, 1 shall expect to meet her ni
XIcol Muschat's Cairn, beneath Saint
Anthony's chapel."
After attempting In vain to Indnce
Jeanle to explain the message, he re
turned to visit Effle again, In the Tol
booth, only to be compelled, on his ar
rival there, to tell the whole story,!
lest he be convicted of guilt In the
Porteons affair. And then he was sent
home, under ball not to leave Libber
ton, nor to communicate with any
member of the family of Effle Deans.
But If his experiences were to him
Incomprehensible they were by no
means so to the authorities. By piec
ing together his testimony with those
of others, they rightly determined that
the stranger in tne Hint's park, the
leader of the Porteous mob, and the
father of Effle's child were one and
the same person; namely, Geordle
Robertson, comrade of Wilson the
smuggler, and but lateJy escaped from
the "very prison In wblcb Effle Deans
was now confined. Accordingly, they
planned to capture him that night at
Muschat's Cairn. But before they
could reach that place, Robertson had
time to beg Jeanle to save her sister
at the trial by .testifying that Effle had
disclosed to her her condition. Then
he escaped.
_Mfire]y that slight falsehood won]d
I •><<«• if r
from under the letter of ttie cruel
Scotch statute. But Jennie, steadfast
ly, devoutly truthful, was utterly un
able to placate her conscience in hear
ing false witness. Nor couM the dis
appointment of Eftie herself, whom she
was at last permitted to visit In the
strong-room of the prison, alter her
I resolution. "He wanted that I suld ;
| be mansworn," she said. "I told hlin
I that I daurna swear to an untruth."
At the trial, when Jeanie was
I brought in to testify, Effle, In human
| weakness, cried, "O Jeanie, Jeanie,
save me!" But when the solemn oath,
—"the truth to tell, and no truth to J
conceal, as far as she knew or was
asked," was administered "In the name
of God, and as the witness should an
swer to God at the great day of judg
ment," Jeanie, educated In deep rever
ence for the name of the deity, was
elevated above ali considerations save
those which she could, with a clear
conscience, coll Film to witness. And
when the advocate came at length to i
the point of asking her. "what your
sister said ailed her when you In
quired?" Jennie could only .answer,
"nothing." When the sentence wns
pronounced by the doomsman. Effie's
own eyes were the only dry ones in
the court. "God forgive ye. my lords."
?he said, "and dlnnn be angry wl' me
for wlshln' It—we a* need forgiveness."
The next morning found Jeanie
Deans traveling alone and afoot on
the long road to London "to see the
Queen's face th.-tt gives grace," and
3eg for her sister's pardon. Tl'-r tar
ran screen served all the purposes of
» riding habit, and of an umbrella: a I
imall bundle contained such changes
if linen as were absolutely necessary.
3he had a few guineas, and a letter
from Reuben Butler to the r>nke of
irgyle, whose grandfather had been
ander obligations of the deepest to
:he famous BIMe Butler, grandfather
>f the poor assistant-schoolmaster, now
lick at Llbberton.
She passed luckily, on tin? whole,
through so weary ami dangerous a
lourney, and at length, through the
ntercesslon of the duke, secured the
jardon which she sought.
Before she reached Scotland again.'
Effle had eloped xvlth her lover, who
was In reality George Staunton, son
3f an English nobleman. The sister*,
.vho had last met when Eflie was sit
:lng on the bench of the condemned,
lid not meet again for many years,
though Lady Staunton wrote some
times to Jeanle—now Mrs. F.utler.
wife of Mr. Iteuben Butler, pastor of
fCnocktarlitle.
Finally, by chance, Sir George
learned that Meg Murdockson, who ha<l
attended Effle In her Illness, had not
murdered the child, as they had al
ways supposed. He traced the boy to
a certain troop of vagabonds, of which
Black Donald was the chief. In an
affray with Black Donald's men. Sir
George was shot by a young lad called
"the Whistler," who proved to he the
lost son. The lad disappeared, and
escaped to America. I.ady Staunton,
overcome by the tragedy, after vain
efforts to drown her grief in society,
retired to a convent In France. Al
though she took no vows, she remained
there until her death. But lier in
fluence at court accomplished much
for the children of her sister .Teanle.
who lived happily on in the good par
ish with which the bounty of the
Duke of Argyle had provided her hus
band.
The Heart of Midlothian is notable
for having rather fewer Important
characters, a smaller variety of inci
dents, and less description of scenery
than most of Scott's novels. One of
the most rerfiarkable scenes in all fic
tion Is the meeting of the two sisters
In prison under the eyes of the jailer
Batellffe. The Interview of Jeanle
with Queen' Caroline Is also most note
worthy. There Is much humor at the
expense of the Cameronian wing of the
Presbyterian faith in Scotland. In this
work also appears the strange charac
ter of Madge Wildfire, daughter of the
old crone, Meg Murdockson. Into her
month Is put the famous song, "Proud
Malsle Is In the wood."
Furze.
Can you conceive any Covering fit
ter for the hills of the sun itself than
this magnificent furze, as it appears
In England, robing the heaths and
commons all over the country? It
Is a golden undulation, a foreground,
and from some points of view a mid
dle distance, fit to make the richest
painter despair, a veritable field of
cloth of gold. Morning, when the
dawn Is of a fineness to match, must
look beauly for beauty on it. Sun
set Is glory. The gold goes march
ing away In the distance toward the
dark trees; like the rich evening of a
poetic life. No wonder Linnaeus,
when he came to England and first
beheld this shrub In bloom, fell on
his knees and thanked God.—Leigh
