For days before the event the arrival of lords and ladies was hourly announced. an-nounced. The heads of the "House of Aspen" came; the brave and brilliant "Marmion" came, the accomplished ladies and stern old knights of "Gad-jow "Gad-jow Castle," and scores on scores of others. "Guy Mannerlng," who had shared tho "Fortunes of Nigel" for years, returned to his native heath and with appropriate retinue, set out to bring the beautiful "Bride of Lam-mormoor" Lam-mormoor" to grace the nuptial feast. Unable to be present in person, how- over, but aware of an approaching conjunction of .stars, she caused a "Talisman" to be wrought from onyx and gold, as a gift to the fair "Betrothed." "Be-trothed." The disappointed escort, having already returned to tho coast, Sir Tristram," from tho "Heart of Midlothian," was called upon to deliver de-liver the mystical token. His route lay over by "Halidon Hill," where the "Cross of McDuff" had stood, and only a league away from the castle of "Auchlndrane." Intending to sup with the feudal lord, lie had almost reached the castle gate when the outlawed Scot, "Rob Roy," beset the weary troop and captured the magic gem. Shifted about by fate, 'twas brought one day to the famous "Lord of the Isles," whose heroic defense of the "Lady of the Lake" had been immortalized immor-talized in "Border Minstrelsy." This much of the jewel's history was recorded in tho "Chronicles of Cannongate. Subsequently, as narrat ed in the "Legend of Montrose," it was found in the possession of "Red tauntlet," to whom it was given on the eve of the nobleman's marriage to "Annie of Geierstein." The donor, on that occasion, was "Harold, the DaunU less," into whose hand tho prize haa fallen at "Quentin Durward's" death. In earlier life that fiickle knight had loved and sworn to cherish the bright, "Fair Maid of Perth." Forsaking her, he pledged his life and honor to Scotland's Scot-land's fairest gem, the charming "Le-nore," "Le-nore," who for eighteen months or more had been secretly detained In the "Monastery" by "Peveril of the Peak." Being warned of her captivity through the "Vision of Don Roderick,' the lover lov-er set out to effect her release. At his departure the "Black Dwarf" brought forth the long lost amulet, and through its mystic charm, with the aid of ai old "Grey Brother" the astonished knight set free the imprisoned maiden maid-en while tho "Abbott" was engaged at "Kenllworth." "Ivanhoe," discovering her escape, dispatched the "Wild Huntsman" in pursuit. Being joined by "Tho Pirate" at "Rokeby," he was about to accomplish his mission, when "Count Robert ofParis,' who had but recently returned from the "Field of Waterloo," came to the fugitive's relief. re-lief. While refreshing at "St. Ronan's Well" the lover was shot by an unseen un-seen hand and Instantly expired. The i-broken-hearted maiden was taken by v5,Waverly" to the nearest inn, where her spirit passed away as the sad, sweet strains of the "Lay of the Last MinBtrel" came faintly through the air. From one of the "TaleB of My Landlord," it is learned, that later on "The Antiquary" discovered the fateful fate-ful jewel, and that "Old Mortality" had chiseled its symbols on the face of ''Lenore's" tomb.
