Afther the dozen of us were on the lan’ three days, ye might catch all the grouse we left livin’ by putting salt on their talte. Every svenin’ too, meself an’ the rest of the escort took off the day’s baggin’ for the Olenties railway station.

An' he’d give us two or three dhrlnks no less, afore he’d let us out.

An’ then Dan tuk us In to see if Jimmy Kinny was still alive, on our way back. Thera was mighty pleasant evenin’s, l tell you. "An’ for ten days this kind of thing went on, bekase O'Mara tuk meself an’ his own two men to help to weed the game out of the three shootln's of the college chaps. An’ we had always wan or two, or maybe three, of their men with us by way of escort to Glen tles every evenin’ an’ Dan, who mus* have laid hands on a leprauchan—he had so much money—ever an’ always halted the crowd at Jimmy Kinny's till we’d sloke our thirst. "O’Mara, when he had four or five days’ practice, come to handle like a man was intendin’ to become a good shooter; an’ there was no more talkin’ of pigeons an’ crows, for he run the English lads purty close. What the lads used to enjoy, though, was that wanst O’Mara got. his own ban’ shot an’ the game gone safely off, he quickly lost all tarror of the Red Poocher, an’ hadn’t the ghost of another curse in his liver for that scoundrel. It didn’t seem to give him wan bit of concern whether the red fella ’ud come nl an’ carry off every wing on his neighbour’s lands or not; an’ so they upcasted till him. banth ering. ‘Och, well,’ he'd say, Tts each man's cry when his own cow’s sick.’ But for that part the sorra muc con cern did the Red Poocher give any of the lads, especially when they seen he didn't turn up durin’ the first four or five days. An’ they w-ere more nor half sorry he didn’t an’ give a O’Mara a good roun’ mouthful of curses for bein’ so de uced purtlckler with ills polls pathrols an’ polls gaurds. An’ there was small doubt hut it was this kept the rascal off. Many’s the bit of a debate they all had about how the would a’ been likel to have gone to work If he had ventured on the lan’ an’ how they’d have nonplushed him. an’ got hold of him, an’ played him like a cat might a mouse afore marchin’ him into Ardhara j * >!i s barracks with a yard of rope de coratin’ his neck. ‘They would hac had the dlckneses own gay time with the buck, there was no manner of doubt, If he'd only been foolhardy enough to let his shadow fall on a daisy on wan of their lands. But they wan an* all agreed—an’ Mlsther O'Mara with them—that the red rascal had method in his madness, an’ if he was within a Mg radus of them he had tuk particular good care to lie very low, an’ sing very, very small. "Well, on the last night of the shoot- In' we hud regular big Jollification, all hands of us. I ted ye.
