if he had recently seen any deer, at the same 
time telling him of their bad luck. Even as they 
spoke he vanished, and as they reflected on his 
unaccountable disappearance, they recalled that 
their meeting, too, seemed rather mysterious. 
However, they continued their way homeward, 
when they came in sight of a stag, which, with 
apparently a very good body, had a poor head. 
With some trouble they stalked and killed it, 
when they found it to be an old, useless beast. 
Such a poor stag in these parts was unknown 
to them, SO' it was set down as a wanderer. On 
gralloching, they were horror-stricken to find the 
bread and cheese they had given the old man! 
A peculiar tragedy happened on Beinn Eibhinn, \ 
in what is now Sir John Stirling Maxwell’s 
forest of Cordur, but which was then (1862) 
under sheep, though an occasional stag was 
bagged. Three men were out stalking on this 
particular occasion, the sportsman (the sheep 
farmer) being attended by two shepherds, one 
acting as stalker, the other as gillie. After some 
time, when the ground had been thoroughly 
spied, a solitary stag was seen, a beast well worth 
a bullet. The gillie, on seeing the turn matters 
were likely to take, asked the stalker if he in¬ 
tended that the master should shoot this stag. 
The reply was, of course, in the affirmative, 
whereupon the gillie strongly advised that this 
beast should be left alone, but as he gave no 
reason for this absurd proposition, the party went 
on. The stalker was leading, and as the stag 
was now almost within range, the sportsman, 
carrying the loaded rifle, followed him closely, 
the gillie, of course, bringing up the rear. Some¬ 
how or other, the rifle went off, the bullet pass¬ 
ing through the stalker (who' should, of course, 
have been carrying the rifle). The wounded! 
man was carried to a cottage at the head of 
Loch Ossian, where he lingered for a month. 
The gillie was naturally pressed for his reason 
for attempting to dissuade the stalker from hav¬ 
ing anything to do with the stag which had been 
the indirect means of his death. He ultimately 
complied, but very unwillingly, declaring solemnly 
that as he had looked at the stag it appeared 
to him as an old man with a long, gray beard. 
Nor was he to be moved from this belief. 
Thomas the Rhymer’s prophecies are still 
familiar in Scotland; his death (or disappear¬ 
ance rather) was as mysterious as his wonderful 
forecasts of future events. As he sat in a tavern in 
Earlstoun with several friends, a neighbor burst 
in, breathless with haste. He informed the com¬ 
pany that a white hind had left the neighboring 
forest and was walking deliberately along the 
village street. “Then,” quoth the Rhymer, “I 
have been long enough here,” on which he went 
out and disappeared along with the deer—and 
Thomas was never seen again. 
The island of Rum, now all under deer, had 
over two centuries ago its own peculiar super¬ 
stition in connection with the posterity of Lauch- 
lin of the Macleans of Coll. Should any of that 
family shoot at the deer on a certain mountain 
“he dies suddenly, or contracts some violent dis¬ 
temper, which soon puts a period to his life.” 
Thus that mountain became a sanctuary. 
The writer had recently a long conversation 
with a nonagenarian who, as a youth, had a 
friend who shot at and wounded a hind. But 
it was a woman who ran off, though she only 
went home to die. Very properly, this deer

worth the price asked for it.
