TIME Heart Of Midlothian. by
many called the finest of The
sWayerley Novels, was pub
ished anonymously in 1918. 1t takes
its name from the Tolbooth, or old city
Jail, in Edlnburg (pulled down in
1879, the "stony heart of Midlothian
| which reared its ancient front i'm the
very middle Of the High street of the
city.
On the afternoon OF September s.
1885, Reuben Butler, assistant-master
of the school at Libberton, and licensed
minister of the gospel, found himself
in unexpected trouble. First of all.
he had become entangled with the
crowd of good citizens of Edinburg
in the Grassmarket, murmuring at the
. postponement of the execution of Cap
tain John POrteous of the City Guard.
They were still in the heat of anger
from the events of the preceding day.
when Porteous had ordered his men
TO fire, and had fred himself. upon
the crowd, some of whom were at
tempting to cut down sthe body of
Scotch Wilson. the famous smuggler.
Several innocent 2 citizens had been
killed. Now that the chief offender
seemed likely to escape, there was no
knowing what the mob might do. The
quiet young. pedagosue would gladly
have returned to Libberton. Then. to
his CONSERVATION. he learned that Effie
Deans, the younger and more charming
sister of his sweetheart Jeanie Deans,
was imprisoned in the Tolbooth.
When he had last seen Effie. more
than a year before, she had been a
beautiful and blooming girl. the lily
of Saint Leonard's. Many traveller
past her fathers cottage had stopped
his horse on the eve of entering Edin-
burg, to gaze at her as she tripped by
him, with her milk-pail poised on her
head, bearing herself so erect, and
stepping so light and free under her
burden that 1t seemed rather In orna-
ment than an encumhrance. Now the

murder.
The facts were that after working
for time In shop in Edinburg. the
unhappy prisoner had disappeared for
the space of week. and then made
her appearance before her sister at
Saint Le0nard's in a state that had
rendered Jeanie 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.

The road problem Of the country Is

city man to reach farther and farther

this first from n business or economic

similar manner, the farmer is getting

him to get to the city markets win

may be something requiring frequent
trips. such as milk to creamery. gar

CHAPTER XIV.

When Irene Hardy pursued Dave
from the house the roar of his motor
car was already drowned in the hum
of the city streets. Hatless, she ran
the length of full block; then. real
izing the futility of such a chase, re-
turned with almost equal haste to
her home.
"What is the meaning of this?" she
demanded of Coward. "Why did he
threaten to shoot and why did he
leave as he did? You know. Tell
me-"
II am sure I wish | could tell Won"
said Coward with all his accustomed
suavity. In truth Coward, having
somewhat recovered from his fright,
was in rather good spirits. Things
had gone better than he had dared to
hope. Eden was eliminated, for the
present, at any rate, and now was the
time to win Irene.
She stood before him, flushed and
vibrating and with flashing ewes,
