Waverley captures brave English Of
ficer, who remains alone beside his
cannon after the others have fed. This
officer turns out to be certain Colonel
Talbot, an old friend Of the house OF
Waverley whom Edward has never
met before. Colonel Talbot has left an
Invalid wife In. order to find Waverley
and to induce him to return home,
since his conduct has put the entire
Waverley family into danger.
When Edward learns that Colonel
Talbots Imprisonment is likely to cost
the life of his sick wife he obtains the
colonePs release. In return for this
Kindness Colonel Talbot promises to
intercede with the English king in Wa.
verley's behalf. The way for such
plea has fortunately been paved by the
revelation Of some of the mysteries at
tending the arrest Of Waverley for de-
sertion and treason. BY means Of
packet Of letters, which Donald Bean
Leans daughter has slipped Into Ed
wards baggage, he learns that her ia
ther, the Highland robber, being in the
service Of Prince Charles Edward, and
wishing to gain favor In his eyes, has
concocted a plot whereby the British
government was led to believe that
Waverley was traitor, thereby fore
Ing him into the army OF the insurgent
prince. Only one question now re-
mains unexplained. Who was the girl
that nursed him during his fever In the
peasants hut?
Before the solution is found to this
question, the insurgent army is totally
defeated, Fergus MacIvor is captured
the prince escapes, and Waverley, who
is now also a fugitive, pays a secret
visit to the mansion Of the Baron Of
Bradwardine, for he is anxious to learn
about the fate of some OF his friends.
He finds the baron In hiding In that
self-same hut where he had been
nursed during his fever. Here he
learns that II was Rose Bradwardine
who nursed him. 1t was Rose, also,
who had paid Donald Bean Lean with
her mothers jewelry in order to induce
him to rescue Waverley after his arrest
for treason. Overcome with gratitude
for such devotion, Edward asks the
baron of Bradwardne for his daugh-
ter's hand. He can now marry her In
security for, thanks to the kindness OF
Colonel Talbot and other influential
Englishmen, both he and the baron
have been pardoned.
II takes the loquaclous baron an
hour to tell Rose Of Edwards love for
her. II takes Edward just five minutes
to convince her OF 1t.
Their happiness would now be COM
plete but for the sad fate of Fergus
MacIvor, who has been condemned to
death. He faces the executlouer un
flinchIngly, expressing no regret for his
fate, but only the hope that "they Will
set my head on the Scotch gate, that
may look, even after death, TO the blue
hills OF my own country, which love
so dearly"
With this shadow TO mar the sun
shine Of their happiness, Edward and
Rose are married.
Thus we come to the end OF the r0'
mantle tale, and we must again return
to the ,drab reality Of our everyday ex-
istence. But before so doing let us, to-
gether with Flora MacIyor, who has
joined the Scottish Benedictine nuns
In Paris, bid the happy couple good
