New York.-If we are not certain
as to the date of the death OF Rob
Roy, 1t may tighten u bushes to re-
member that Sir Walter Scott looked
Jon it as doubtful, says a writer in
the Living Church. Reports varied;
the best authenticated tradition
showed that the daring McGregor had
outlived his widest deeds, and we
may take it for granted that he died
in the latter part of the decade be-
tween 1880 and 174O. Assuming that,
we have some interesting compari.
sons to make. A man whose real life
was as sensational as that Of the
feudal mess trooper, a chieftain who
levied blackmail on peaceful cattle
r~aisers, who plunderei his enemies,
who long dreamed Of upsetting Han
over and setting up Stuart, a char
acter half seventeenth century and
half sixteenth, was living during q
part at least Of George Washington's
infancy. Franklin may have heard
many a story Of him. Paul Jones may
have sailed with men who had caught
a glimpse Of Rob Roy through coast
and island traditions.
Take Rob Roy's own strong person
atty and add what the genius of
Scott has thrown around him, and
he is a fascinating last Of the Mohi-
cans" type. Part Of the ancient Scot
land OF claymore and coronach had

Ills had %quenched some bold spirits,
exiles had died heart broken in for

was a link with the past. He fright
ened many who yet admired him,
even as his e~stinable kinsman, Bailie
Nichol Jarvie, did. But a few dates
may startle even some who have read
SCOTS noble story half a dozen
times, and It is we'll to think of some
who had come before Rob Roy had
gone.
