IZ DEANS was the pretty, weak-willed daughter of a Scotch Peasant. Her half-sister, Jeanie, was less beautiful bat far stronger in soul and character. EMfe loved and was loved by George Staunton, the dissolute son of an old clergyman. Jeante was engaged to another clergyman, Reuben Butler. George had had a love affair with Madge Wildfire, a half crazed gypsy woman who bitterly resented his affection for EMe. And when the young lover was arrested on a charge of smuggling and was confined in prisea, Madge sought vengeance by causing EMfe's arrest on a false charge of murder. The testimony against the luckiess Effie gras terribly strong. George ‘was not at hand to defend her. The more she protested her innocence the more were her judges convinced of her guilt. And she was condemned death. ‘i Jeante had from the first declared that Efe was not guilty. Because of her haif-sister’s misfortune she had even parted with devoted Reuben Butler.
