| water out of the well here at the back o
the church. to be taken nine mornings OF
the bare stomach. fasting"
Murroghoo-beg heard all this, and he
waited till the cats went all away and In
the morning he came out and. cropping his
way to the we'll, he took of his boots and
filled one Of them with water, and then
started for the kings palace, and when he
come there all that place was in a commo-
tion with all the first doctors Of the three
kingdoms and France besides. And when
poor Murroghoo-beg como in, and he was
asked what was wrong with him, and he
said he had come to cure tho kings daugh-
ter, and they asked him where was his
medicine, and he said he had 1t in his boot,
they commenced laughing at him. and the
doctors ordered him to be turned out. And
the servants began to shove and push poor
Murroghoo-beg to put him out of the palace,
but Murroghoo-beg wasn't for going, and
that was the rooie-boolie! And by the loss
o. wars and what with the wrestling and
the fighting and the racketing they made,
doesn't the sick lady hear it, and she sent
down word to know what was going on.
And they sent back the word that 1t was
a poor demented man that wanted to cure
her ladyship with a bootful OF spring water.
Let him come up" said her ladyship:
sure he can't do no worse nor the rest OF
them, anyhow" Well, her wish, Of course,
was a command. Up my brave Murroghoo-
beg was taken, and when he come into her
lsdyship's presence he told her he would get
her out Of bed In a short time. So he put
her under cure of three spoonsful Of the
water he had in his boot, on the bare
stomach, fasting for nine mornings. The
other doctors looked on and shook their
heads, but daren't say anything. But the
tables were soon turned ON them, for sure
enough the very first day she took tho
water she felt great ease entirely. and so
on day after day, till on the morning of the
ninth day after she had took the
medicine she was taken with a at Of
vomiting, and vomited up the full OF a
basin OF young serpents. and then she
got up out OF her bed and walked out as
fine, strong and handsome a young woman
as YOU would ask to see. And she was 30
well pleased at this. and the king was so
we'll pleased, that they sent home Murrog-
hoo-beg with double her weight In gold
along with him. After Murroghoo-b beg came
home he went to the well behind the old
church for nine mornings. bathing his eyes
In II every morning, and on the ninth morn
Ing his eyes and his eyesight were as good
rs ever. Poor Murroghoo-beg could now
live happy and well for tho remainder of his
days, only The dread was In him still of
Murroghoo-more, and he knew that when
Murroghoo-more would hear OF his good luck
he would put him TO death and take his gold.
And, right enough, II wasn't long till Il
came to Murroghoo-more's ears that Murro-
was back alive again with his eyes
and eyesight, and no end OF gold In the
however he had com by II. So my
brave Murroghoo- more starts out and comes
to Murroghoo-beg. and "Murroghoo-beg,"
says he, II thought / left ye for death; and
Is it here We are now?" "Oh," says Murro-
ghoo-beg, but 1t was you that did me the
good turn entirely. Here | am now with
eyes and my eyesight and a good bag OF
gold into the bargain, and IL you would only
put out my eyes and leave me overnight in
the old church again l think | would have
been better luck this time How is that? ?"
says Murroghoo-more. Why says
this is the way of it,
and he commences telling Murroghoo-m more
about how there was a lot OF cats came
avery night to the old church and COM
nenced to tell stories every one OF them
about where was no end OF treasure hid
about wonderful easy cures for eyes that
be picked out OF mems heads, till he
lad Murroghoo-more beside himself with
You must take and pick out my
