A recollection of Ellen and the pine-wood returned forcibly. "Put it as you will," he replied philosophically, and turned towards the fire. She watched him jealously. "But why did you run away?" she persisted. "Where have you been since? Heriot, I insist upon knowing that I insist!" She rose and came towards him. He took her hand and pressed it gently.

He secured it at once, and with a consoling sense of homeliness proceeded to turn its familiar pages. All at once he was galvanized into the rigidity of a fire-iron "Writers to the Signets' Annual Dinner. Remarkable speech by Mr. Heriot Walkingshaw." It was a few minutes before he summoned up his courage to read any further. "Mr.

Oh! brave Heriot; dear, dear Walter, you did not betray me; my father struck you, and you let him for my sake. Every night I pray heaven to make you forgive him: I thought you would hate me.
