Iear Mr. : Will 'you accept
our very liest thanks for the loan of

Interesting. Mr. McKinley is a worthy

l-robably Mr, McKlnley does not
know that his ancestors were .closely
connected with this district, and I
lielieve "Annie was the borne of the

story of my great-grandfather. John
McKmlay. at the time of the '4."i. lli.
laird. Stirling" of Keir. who had lean--'
ings to the side of the Stewarts, wrote
to him to ask if he couhl raise
;i few
men for the" Pretender, McKliday,
having real the letter, locked it nl
and went out to visit his neighbors
quite in an ordinars way. and in the
course of .conversation inquired what
they thought of Prince ', Charlie's
claim.' He found that they were en
tirely opposed to the movement, and
had no idea o f joining or supiwrtiiig .
it In any way. He .-returned home..
therefore, and having first burned tlie
laird's letter, be set -out. 'on-his-. pony"
for Keir House near Ihinblane. where'
lie had an Intervkw Willi the l.iinl.
and told, him he could not hope . for
any men from the ."Annie" district,
and, at the same time, advised him
not to entangle himself with the re-
lielllon.' Having m-couiidished the nh-
JK't of bis journey, be ret uriied "home,
and said no more.alMiut the matter.
After the rels'Ilion. the Kaird of Keir
was trlel. for his share Jn it, and nar
rowly osaiied losing his head. If llt---
Kiliiay had not leeii so prudent ami
cautious nlmut the laird's letter, it
wonbl have supplitnl the iiositlve. evi

The McKinlavs were a unlet. Intel- -
Mgent and shrewd race of men. I -was
told by a relative of mine who lias
f.evn the President that there N a
strong resemblance lietwecu him atul
one of my uncles who left "Annie." I
