SYNOPSIS.
Patrick and Robert Vernor are the eld
est ami the youngest of the seven sons
of a Scottish Covenanter of lrongiite. tn
Galiowny. It having been proposal by a
minister that one of the sons go with a
porty to Holland, to study for the min
istry, a familv consultation is held In the
preacher's presence. Patrick, rlthough
somewhat wild, is compelled by his love
for a ('oveiiiinter lass, lsobel Weir, who
corns his roysterlng ways, to announce
his desire to become a preacher. His
father grows sarcastic at the Idea, ami,
to add to .Patrick's anger, his mother
brings in Robert as a candidate, whom
she has found under a tree, praying, Pat
rick, who tells the story, scoffs at his
brothel's ijuiet ways. The minister final
ly selects Itobert. Patrick quarrels with
bis father, nnd leaves for Rood the home
to which-he Is heir. His other brothers
follow him ami comfort him. After part.
ln from them, he meets lsobel Weir,
taunts her with her regard for his brother,
and announces his intention to become one
of King Charles' troopers. He does so,
and after Much riding with the king's
nun he one day take part in a raid on
a compnnv of Conventiders who are hold,
ing a meeting. After the skirmish Pat
rick discovers that his father and broth
er, we're of the company. His father has
been slain: and his brother, Itobert, who
has returned from Hollaml and becomes
a Held preacher, has been made a pels
oner. Itobert, and lsobel Weir, who is
also a prisoner, reproach Patrick with his
father's death and Robert's execution,
which must surely follow his capture.
PART IV.
Then came Col. Douglas, and, as wns
usual with him, his orders were swift
ami stern.
"How now!" ho said, "what's this?
Take away the lass we rannot shoot
women. Let her he Bidng to her own
folk we cannot have such with the
troops. And bring the preacher to the
tollxioth of Dunti'ries. He can be shut
in the morning. Hut for the sake of
the five hundred marks on the head
of him, we must give him a trial and
get the due certilit ules for his death."
So they gave- lsobel Weir leave to go,
and, setting Hubert in to the midst of
the company on a masterless horse, we
rode into Dumfries. Pouslas stayed
behind to direct that the wounded of
AND SO THEY TOOK MY BROTHER
OUT.
his troops nhquld be well eared for In
the neighboring farm towns, and to
leave a visiting guard to gee that they
were kindly treated by the country
people, who had indeed small reason
to love us.
And as we rode on behind my broth
er I had time to bethink me. The words
nf lsobel Weir pressed hard upon me
harder, as I think, than even the sight
of John Vernor, whom I had seen ly
ing dead on the moss. For I never
greatly loved my father, and there is,
so fur as I have seen, no grout instinct
of affection In' that relationship. For
I II ml that as many sons hate their
fathers as Inordinately love them,
while most are wholly indifferent as to
the matter.
But whenever I rode within earshot
of the preacher, he was crying blood
and vengeance en my head, till the
lads of the escort fell to laughing.
"Come nearer, l'at," they called,
when we were out of hearing of the
commander; "he has Just taken a new
text and is expounding your iniquities
under the head of 'lilihy.' "
Hut God knows It wns no such
laughing matter to me. For all the
months and years of recklessness and
all the riding and killing came hack
salt and bitter on me. And my anger
nnd enstrangement at them of Iron
gray melted away. I minded only the
early days and the still Sabbath niorng
of the old house my mother sitting
smelling at a spray of southernwood,
and my father standing by her with
his ltible under his arm, both of them
waiting to take me by the hand and
go our ways down the green loan, un
der the lilac hushes of the 'spring, to
the kirk of Irongray.
"Ah, God!" I cried In my misery,
"keep anv other poor soul from so go
ing against his folk. For me there Is,
I know, no forgiveness. Rut let none
other in blind pride of heart drive devil
ward as I have done. It is true true
what the lad Robert says my father's
blood is on my head!"
So in this blank despair rame to
the prison, and the commander directed
the Jailer to put Robert In the thieves'
hole for safety, and not Into the gener
al room, wherein debtors, ordinary sor
ners and all the semirings of south
country rascaldom were put.
It was late in the afternoon, and as
soon as Col. Douglas had supped he
went over to call upon his crony, Rob
ert fJrler, of Lag, who abode mostly by
the White Horse, at the foot of the Ven-
nel; and having sent for the Provost of
the town and also for a guard to bring
the prlsoner.they proceeded to try Rob
ert vernor. it was a 'simple form, for
the lad had gotten some iron in his
Mood over In Holland, and denied noth
ing. He owned that he had been
preaching the doctrine of resistance.
He would have none of the Test. He
owned not His Majesty King Charles.
The Dtike was the devil Incarnate: In
each of his first half dozen statements
there was enough to hang a parish.
. "It Is well said." cried Douglas: "you
are a manful laddie, and come, I hear,
of good blood. Thou shalt have the
estate. Robin Orier," he said, turning
to Lag. "It lies contiguous to your
own properties and policies for the old
man. Vernor. is killed in tho skirmish."
Rut at this I stepped forward and sa
luted. "May It please your excellencies."
said I. "I have ever been a faithful sol
dier of his majesty's. I have now serv
ed with the colors four-years with hon
or as a private of his majesty's dra
goons. I am the eldest son of Vernor,
of Irongray There is surely no reason
why his estats should be forfeit, or
that 'my patrimony should be taken
tiway from tne."
At this Orler of Lag looked sour and
strange; but Col. Douglas beat upon
the table with his hand.
"It is true and Pat is a good lad I
will not see him wronged. I myself will
write of this matter to the council."
So he bade them to take Robert Ver
nor back to the prison and there shoot
him Instead of hanging him. And this
was counted a great favor.
"Tomorrow, at the rising of the sun,"
aid Douglas.
And so they took my brother out.
"May It please you," said I, to those
1
of the court, "that I may be pcrmltt'.d
free access to my brother during these
his last hours? For there is much to
arrange between him and Andro Gib
son, my late father's lawyer."
"God wot, yes an' it llketh you go
in and bide with him till he gets the
garments for his martyrdom." said
Douglas. "1 had not known you were
so fond of your kith and kin."
So he wrote me a pass. For the pris
on was held by a guard of the foot from
Tarbat's country. Ignorant lundward
men from tho north, who had 110 knowl
edge of- use of the dragoons, und. In
deed, no good will to our colors.
So 1 went away and groomed my
horse, but had no stomach for supper.
Then I walked awhile on the banks of
the river on the Galloway side of the
bridge. And as I walked I tried to
ptay, but the words would not come. I
thought of lsobel Weir and her curse
of me. So an hour ago i came away
hither to my quarters and am now set
down to add a few words f this story
of my worthless and wasted life. God
knows there Is nothing I can say or do
to obtain forgiveness, for Isobel's ciirsi!
lies Justly upon me. My father and her
lover will both b cold corpses in the
morning.
I know there Is the way of the Scrip
ture the preacher's way. And as I sit
ami think the old words come back
repentance forgiveness nu-rcy: "Come
unto me, all ye that labor" how run
the words? Hut all these matter little to
me now. They were not meant for a
traitor nnd a parricide. Resides, what
are words out of a book? I would give
something to cover my father's face
from my sight.
Yet there is a text something nbotit
shedding of blood If only I could re
member it. I henrd a minister once
preach upon It, and thought him weari
some. Would that I could remember it
now.
I have It. Quite suddenly it has
leaped clear to my mind, shining In lit
ters of tire like that writing on the
wall at the king's feast in the book of
Daniel.
"Without shedding of blood there Is
no remission of sin." Surely it tuns
something like that.
It has come to me. I see a possible
chance. I will at least go and speak
with my brother. I have the colonels
pass in my pocket.
It is nil done now save one thing, nnd
I may add a word or two to my paper
ere the sun rise nnd they come knooK-
lng at my door. I passed the guard
with my mandate. They were drinking
and carousing the Jailer with them.
My brother received me with cursings
and hateful words as, Indeed, was his
right. Hut I told him the thing that I
had come tn do. I bade him put on my
clothes and uniform and give me his
clothing In exchange. He could then
pass freely with the order which was
In my hand, for none would be at the
shooting that knew me for our dra
goons of Doug!ns' regiment were to
march at midnight for Galloway.
"Hut mark," 1 said, "this is not for
your own sake, Robert Vernor, nor yet
because you are my brother. It is for
the sake of the lass that put her arm
about your neck even for the sake of
lsobel Weir. I pray you tell her this."
It shnll be done," snld he, in the
pmooth way which I have ever hated
ami hate now, for his tone changed
whenever he knew that there was a
chance of safety.
"And you," he said, "what will you
do?"
"I will nblde the morning and the
opening nf the doors," said I, as lightly
us I could.
"And they will find you In preacher's
clothes!" he said. "Ah, well, I sup
pose thoy have found you too good a
toed to punish you very severely for
helping a poor field preacher and your
own brother to escape."
"LiKely enough," said I, shortly.
And when he stood up In the regi
mental dress, and when I had done the
sword and the spurs upon him and put
the cloak about him. he looked none so
ill a soldier, thouch not well set up
about the shoulders.
I nushed him through the door nnd
heard him tramp into the outer hall,
where the Northern men sat singing
and carousins with the jailer.
"Never mind your d d pass we've
seen it before. Open the door. Jock!"
cried the Jailer, never looking tip from
the dice, nnd, as I well understood,
with his greed eyes fixed on the stake.
Then I heard my brother's step die
down the street towards the bridge
end and liberty.
So here I sit. Will they pardon me
for this? For the sake of four years of
service will John Graham overlook this
connivance at rebellion? But what
matter, after all lsobel Weir's euise
Is on me. She would not take It off.
even If I lived to be a hundred, and re
leased to her a score of lovers.
But there Is the text. There may be
something In that. "Without shedding
or iiiood mere is no remission. There
fore In the shedding of blood there Is
remission that seems clear. God help
me! I think I oando no better. The
east Is brightening. They will be com-
I PUSHED HIM TO THE DOOR.
Ing for me-rthey are lads of Tarbat's
regiment, who know me not. It is not
a long death. I have seen many die.
"Make you ready! Present! Fire!"
Half a dozen bullets splash on the wall.
but. thank God! the other six will be
In my sinful heart.
"Without shedding of blood "
I can hear them coming. May Oed
forgive me and lsobel Weir! I must
hide the paper.
.
(Postscript 'to the Memoir of Vernor.
the Traitor, written by Rev. Robert
Vernor. his brother, after the glorious
Revolution.)
This paper and declaration of my
elder brother was found In a wall-press
in the Thieves' Hole of Dumfries, when
It was pulled down by the order of the
magistrates at the lime when a more
commodious and suitable prison wns
being erected. It purports to have
been written by the hand of Patrick
Vernor, who nf a certainty aided me to
escape from the hands of my cruel
enemies. He was my brother. I judge
mm not. lie nas Deen lor many years
in his own place. The.re n,re those who
think well of him for the -manner of
his death, nnd Indeed I 'myself am
grateful, and also my wife, lsobel,
though she never names his name.
Vet what hope can any have of his
salvation when It Is well known that he
died with a lie upon his lips yea, even
with plasphemy? For those that saw
him put to death by the bullets of Tar
bat's fotomen, declare that when some
of them taunted him that he was a
dumb dog and died without a testi
mony, he cried out these words:
"Sons of dogs, ye He!" (that was the
expression he used). "I have a testi
mony. And it Is this: 'Without shed
ding of blood there is no remission of
sins.' Tell lsobel Weir I died for her.
God have mercy on mv rouJ!"
So with no more said, the officer gave
the word. And thus was a wicked man
cut off ere he had lived half his diys;
as sayoth the Scriptures: "Hut the
horn of the righteous shall be exalted."
