THE GHOST OF AIRLIE.
A Herald of Death to the Head Of the
Ogilvys

A Herald of Death to the Head Of the
| Ogilvys.
Who heard the ghostly drummer of
Cortachy Castle beat the death roll of
the late Earl of Airlie?
| His spectral tattoo Is ever the herald
of death to the heads of the Ogilvys.
In bygone times there was drummer
who drummed for the "Bonny House of
Airly." The wretched player offended
the earl of those days and was tied UP
in his own drum and flung from a high
tower. After vainly pleading for his
life the poor little drummer threatened
that his ghost should haunt the family
for ever and ever.
Legend has it that generation after
generation the dead drummer has
sounded the last post for Earl and
Countess of Airlie and the roll of his
drum has through the long centuries
Cortachy Castle.
In 1S45 a visitor at Cortachy was
dressing for dinner. A tattoo was beat
en- beneath her window The lady lis
tened in surprise, for as far as she
knew there were no bandSmen at the
castle. Going down to dinner she said
to her host:
who is it'that plays the drum so
skilfully outside the castle?"
The earl turned pale and shivered.
The countess could not hide her fear.
The face of every Ogilvy at the table
was deadly white. Within a week the
countess lay In her shroud. The drum
mer was the spectre of Cortachy Castle
A few years later a young English
man who was to shoot with Lord Ogil-
Wy, the eldest son, at the Tulchan,
shooting lodge at the head of Glenshee,
missed bis way. The night was wild,
and darkness had long set In before he
saw the lights of the shooting lodge.
Then up the glen came the long roll of
the drum. There could be no MISLEADING
1t. Who could bbe playing out of doors
on such a night, he asked Lord Ogllvy.
Silence was his only answer 1t was
the dead drummer of Cortachy Castle
The Earl of Airlie died in London with
in less than week.

SAVED FROM INDIANS BY GE-
OT,OGY

| North American Indians always
treated with great kindness the insane
and the predetermined, believing that
they would be punished for any injury
to persons so unfortunate. General
Strong tells how this belief of the In
dams enabled Professor Hayden of the
United States geological survey to es-
cape from a dangerous predicament.
One day, after having filed his sad
dle-bags and pockets with pieces of va
rious kinds of rocks. the professor
found that he had wandered far from
his party, and started In search of
them. Seeing some men on horseback,
and supposing that they were his
friends, he rode toward them, but, to
his horror, discovered that they were
Indians.
Knowing that he was in the country
of hostiles, he turned his horse and at
tempted to escape. But his saddle
bags and every pocket were full to
overlooking, as was also the tin box
containing bugs and insects which
hung a. his side. Thus handicapped
he made but poor Roadway. The In
dams soon overlook him and In sign
language ordered him to dismount
They proceeded at once to make an
inspection of his possessions. FIe had
nothing with which to defend himself,
his outfit being a pocket knife, ham
mer, chsel and watch. These they took
and then b. gan to plunge their hands
into his pockets bringing them out fill
ed with the rock specimens
Again and again they did this, until
pockets, pouch and saddlebags were
all emptied. AS the pile of stone in
creased upon the ground beside him the
Indians burst into loud laughter Final
ly they opened the tin box and when
they saw nothing in that but bugs and
other insects they quickly closed it.
