11ler times

At one time the creditors of the cele-
brated Rob Roy, almost desperate of re-
covering their money, offered large re-
ward TO any person who wou1 venture
into McGregor's country, and succeed in
arresting him; but an officer could not
be found who was willing to run such a
hazard Of his life, till at leugth a baililf,
who had no small opinion of his own cour-
age and conduct, undertook the affair.
Having provided good horse, and
equipped himself for the journey, he set
out without any attendance, and ia few
hours arrived at Craigroiston, the resi-
dence of Rob. where meeting some OF
Robs men, he told them he had business
OF great importance to deliver their mas
ter in private; Rob Roy having notice of
1t, ordered them to give him admittance.
AS soon as he came in, the captain de.
manded bis business. Sir (says the other
though you have had mistortunes in the
world, yet knowing you in your nature
to be an honorable gentleman, made
bold to visit you, upon account of a
small debt, which don't doubt you will
discharge if it lies 10 your power. Hon.
est friend, says Nc Gregor, 1 am sorry
that at present cannot answer your de-
mand, but if your affairs will permit you
to lodge at my house for tonight, | hope
by tomorrow to be better provided. The
bailiff complied and was overjoyed that
he had succeeded SO well. He was en-
tertained with abundance of civiIity, and
went to bed at a seasonable time. Rob
then ordered an old suit of clothes to be
stuffed with straw, not wholly unlike a
Guy Fox, only for a hat they bound his
head with napkin The ghostIy figure
being completely formed they hung it on
o tree near the window where the bailiff
lay; he rising 10 the morning, and finding
his chamber door locked, stepped back TO
the window in expectation OF seeing some
OF the servants, when to his great aston
ishment he cast his eye upon the object
that was hanging before him he knew
not what to make of ii he began TO curse
his enterprise, and wished himself safe il
his own house again. In the midst of his
CONSERVATION, he spied one Of the servants
and calling to him, desired him TO oper
the door; the fellow seemed surprised Il
find it locked, begged his pardon, ant
protested it was done by mistake. A,
soon as the bailiff got out, Prythee

impudence TO come TO my masters own
house, to dun him for an old debt, and
therefore he ordered him TO be hanged
there for warning TO all his fraternity |;
i think the insolent dog deserved 1t, and
in truth we have been commended for so
doing The catchpole was strongly ter
rified at this account, but hoping that the
servant did not know him to be OF the
same profession, he walked away from
him with a seeming carelessness till he
thought himself out Of sight, and then
looking all around to see if any body OBJ
served him, and finding the way clear, he
threw off his coat and ran for his life not
resting nor so much as looking behind
him till he came to village about three
or four miles off +; where when he had re-
covered breath, he told the story OF his
danger and escape, just as he apprehended
1t TO be.
Rob Roy was so pl eased with the sue
cess OF his frolic, that the next day he
sent home the bailiff's horse and coat and
withal let his neighbors know, that it was
only continuance to brighten him away !;
by which means the poor rogue became
the common subject of the peoples diver
sion to his dying das.
