have been growing lin her. Ihere one
thing, and only one, would cure heI'
and rid her of the serpents, and that,
please the devil, she'll never have, nor
never know of-that is, just three
spoonfuls of water out of the well mere
at the back of the church, to be taken
nine mornings on the bare stomach,
fasting"
Murroghoo-b heard all this, and
he waited till the cats all went away,
and in the morning he came out ana,
cropping his way to the well, he took
off his boots and filled one of them with
water and then started for the KING S
palace, and when he come there all that
place was in commotion with all the
first doctors of the three kingdoms ana
France besides. And when poor Murro-
ghoo-beg come in, and he was asked
what was wrong with him, and he said
he had come to cure the kings daugh-
ter. and they asked him where was his
medicine, and he said he had it 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 Muir
roghoo-beg wasn't for going, and that
was the roolie- boolieI And by the loss
o. wars what with the wrestling and
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 it was a poor demented man that
wanted to cure her ladyship with
bootful of spring water. Let him come
up" said her ladyship; sure he can't
do no worse than the rest of them any
how" Well, her wish, of course, was
a command. Up my brave Murroghoo-
beg was taken, and when he come into
her ladyship's presence he told her he
would get her out of bed in a short
time. So he put her under cure of three
spoonful 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 the
water she felt great ease entirely, and
so on day after day, till on the morn
ing of the ninth day after she had took
the medicine she was taken with fit
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
young woman as you would ask to see.
And she was so well pleased at this,
and the king was so we'll pleased, that
they sent home Murroghoo- with
double her weight in gold along with
him. After Murroghoo-beg came home
he went to the well behind the old
church for nine mornings, bathing his
eyes in it every morning, and on the
ninth morning his eyes and his eye
sight were as good as ever. Poor Muir
roghoo-beg could now live happy and
we'll for the remainder of his days,
only the dread was in him still of Muir
roghoo-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.
1t wasn't long till it came to Murrog-
hoe-mores ears that Murroghoo-beg
was back alive again with his eyes
and eyesight, and no end of gold in the
bargain, however he had come by it.
So my brave Murroghoo-more starts
out and comes to Murroghoo-beg, and,
"Murroghoo- beg" says he, Il thought
l left We for death; and is it here ye
are now?" "Oh," says Murroghoo-b
"but it was you that did me the good
turn entirely. Here l am NOW with
eyes and my eyesight, and a good bag
