"the hill of the heads, the scene of as grim a tragedy la wan ever presented on theatrical stage or enacted in real life. The picturesque and thriving village of Can-bridge, which will form the principal iepot on the new railway, is located in the iinuth of a wide glen stretching westwards lor miles till it fringes the much line of the braes of I.ochaW. The Dulnain inter- lects the extensive glen through which in the good old days, when cattle-ntoaling wax regarded as a legitimate vocation among the Celts, the Lochaber thieves drove their :reaghs to their wild mountain fastnesses. fo day the " Thieves' Mood " which skirts :he Dulnain remains as indisputable e\i- ieuce against the Lochaber men. Some years anterior to that " red year when Charles' brought Scotland nuickle wae," there lived in Lochaber a noted free- looter named 1'adrig Mac an Sagaerl the Knglish equivalent of which is " Peter the Priest's sou. " The verbal portrait preserved y tradition of tins ex- priest's offspring nt that of a shaggy, re 1-haii'ed man of ferocious ispect. HD had not a single redeeming trait in his character, and his priestly sire would not give him even shelter. Driven 'nun pillar to post, Peter began a career of obbery and theft which for li.UUNC AND Clll ILTV an parallel can be found even in the nule, 3tni savage period in which he lived, He became the leader of a gang known in the Central Highlands, and particularly Strath- pey, as " the Lochaber Murderers.

Since then the hill hay been known as Tom na Coan the hill of the heads. To escape his t ursuers, IVter crossed over to Ireland, remaining there for seven years. When the tragedy of Tom na-Cean bad been almost forgotten, a man named ('rant had his cattle stolen. Obtaining traces of the thieves, he followed them up, and, aided by friends, overtook them in the Sorest of Hadcuoch. They succeeded in recovering the cattle, and on the return journey fore- gathered with a man who wits recognised cix Peter disguised as a peasant. He wasaei/ed l.y thu Strathspey men, and at Lag nil-Call- lich i.r.. "ihe Old Woman's Hollow " a mile west from the present railway station al Aviemore, an attempt was made to rescue the murderer, (irant threatened to kill Peter on the spot in thu event of any of his friends interfering. The threat produced the desired effect, and the Strathspey men were permitted to continue the journey un- molested. Peter was taken before the lai-d ol (irant, who at this period was supreme criminal and civil authority in Strathspey, but for some reason which tradition has not preserved, he refused to mete, out justice to !

He said : "I was shipped on Tuesday last on thwart their pursuers the thieves, instead of proceeding across the hills to Lochaber took a circuitous route through the wilds of Strathdeani, reaching in Mow stages the western confines of Strathsprey. Simon Lord Lovat (who was subsequently executed) discovered the road the thieves had taken, and al once got aid from the laird of tyrant to assist him in recovering the cattle of his kinsman, and if possible, arresting the rob- j corpse.

It was so clear that we could see liglilb a long way off.

Unlike Kaiser William II., the Russian sovereign desires, we arc told, not to be reputed a great monarch, but to lie the ruler of a great people, whose welfare and progress are safeguarded by peace. Mr. Stead, indeed, would not affirm that the Czar is for peace at any price ; but he be- lieves him to l>e tor peace at almost any price compatible with national honor and the de- fence of Russian interests. This view of the Oar's wishes seems at first sight irreconcil- able with his present friendliness to France and his former attitude toward I'rim-e Alexander of Battcnherg, when ihe hitler was reigning ut Sofia. Mr. Stead insists, however, that the incon- sistency in apparent rather than real. At the very beginning of his reign, Alexander III. met Ihe Ci-rman Kmperor at Skienie- wie/e to renew the tics which had long Ixmnd (icrnmny and Russia.

But in it impossible, it may be .iskt-d, for such a mau to reconcile with his <ui eption of his people's welfare the be- stowal on them of such political privileges as might educate them for the functions of self govemueul? Mr. Stead is au Knglish iliilic.il, but ho dues nut lake for granted that all ICiirnpcan countries present the same coiitlitious uiid require the same in- unit ions.

The Czar still distrusts the I'Vench republic, not only because ill the past it has uiven an asylum and sympathy to Poles and Nihilists, but on account ol the incessant change of Ministers.
