The Savannah morning news., 1901-08-04

Jndt, out IN the en- Iney decided tndl
it mightn't be any harm to give Dan
a trial, anyhow.
In post haste-though be that time
it was the middle iv the night
into Dublin the professor posted
an knocked up Dan out Nv
presence was required at Maynooth in
stantly on a case iv life an daith-an'
hois'ed Dan off with him to the col
lege.
They give in their case to Dan, an
axed him to rack his brain, an If, be
hook or be crook, he could show them
how to save the honor iv Maynooth
college, they wouldn't never forget it
to him.
Upon my faith" says Dan, says he,
shakin' his head when he heerd them
out, ''yez is fitted Until a purity close
fix"
DAN" says they, "for heavens sake,
can ye get us out iv it?"
Give me-" says Dan, says he, two
hours, two ounces iv tibacky, jug iv
whisky an quiet room-an' at the en-
iv that I'll tell we whether it's in the
power l. man to help we out or not"
He got as he axed. an all Maynooth
sat down outside his doore, watchin'
the way-be- the wall till the two hours
was up. An at two hours to the very
second the doore opens an Dan steps
out.
'Well?" they all shouts at breath.
WELL" says Dan, there's a chance
for yea chance"
Thank God" says they, "even for a
chance. What is it?'
Produce" says Dan, says he, Eyer
best Greek scholar, yer best Haybrew
scholar, an yer best Sangscrit scholar"
They done this.
Now" says Dan, produce me three
" prPadpGt
mans clothes we can get'
In short time they had these to the
fore.
Now" says Dan to the three schol-
ars, get Until that room, peel off yez
an dive Until these garments as fast
as if the divil was followin' yez," for
the time wos now gettin' short.
When they were decorated in these
robes Dan ordhered them step out with
him on the dublin road, an out they
stepped.
LAS 1 come dhrivin' to this place at
var'us times" says he, 81 used to no
tice three stone br'akers at three diff
ferent crossroads. We're goin to see
them"
They reached the first stone br'aker,
a mile from the college, an Dan or
dhered him off the heap an put mis-
hammer Until the hand iv the Sangscrit
sayed Il word in his ear. can now"
says he. bang away like the hammers
iv Newry."
On he went with the other two, an
placed the Haybrew scholar on the
second heap iv stones, three mile from
the college, givin' him his private di
rections also. An the third man, the
Greek scholar, he placed on the heap
at the next crossroads six mile from
Al,n
1t wasn't now far off the time an
nounced for the big contest, an the
last man wasn't long on his heap
when the carriage containin' the Ok
foord champions dhruV up. 1t halted
at the crossroads, not KNOWN which
road to take Gas Dan knew it would,
an says they, Here's an ouP stone
br-aker ill diract us the right way"
So they give time l. day to the ouP
man on the heap, an axed him plaise
diract them on the proper road to
Maynooth. Back to them straight he
gives time T. day again, an the prop
er directions, all in Greek.
Faith, the OXFORD men was dumb
foundhered, an they wor sadly shak-
in their heads as they dhrove on
again; an for the first time since the
challenge was thrown out their hearts
begun to give way. They hauled out
their notes books in which thG wor
keepin an account iv their whole jour
ney' an wrote down in them: six
miles from Maynoonth College the
stone br-akers on the roadsides spaiks
Greek only in Urinary conversation"
Very we'll an good, when they come
to the mkt crossroads they hauled up
again an inquired off an QUIZ stone
br'aker who was there the proper turn
to take for the college in Maynooth.
This lad looked from his heap, an sa-
luted them, an give them the proper
directions. completely in Haybrew.
At the third and last crossroads
they stopped the carriage again, an
give time + day an axed directions
off an our one-br'aker who was peg
gin away at a heap iv stones here.
This lad replied to them, an give them
full directions how to reach Maynooth,
entirely in Sangscrit!
The five professors showed their
heads out iv the carriage, an roared
to the coachman. "Dhr1ve like the dew
il for Dublin" Then they fell back an
tainted in wan another's arms. That
night, as they crossed in a boat to
England, they wrote in their note
books: "a mile from Maynooth the
very stone br- akers scorn to spaik
anything but Sangscrit in Urinary con-
versation. We saved the honor Nv OK
ford be the clainest race on record"
| In all iv Dams career none liver out

The woman was up for sellin' bull
lock which she claimed was her own,
but which the prosecutor was goin' to
prove that she stole from him. An
when Dan went into the whole case he

would convict her without the jury liver

WINGED that he was dallin' with dis

enough to get a vardict. $50" thought
Dan. there's no way out Nv it; l must
go on with the case; an as I'm goin'
on with it l must keep up me reputa-
ton, an get the woman out clear.
Moreover she had offered great fee
entirely to Dan if he could succeed in
gettin' her off. "Sleep aisy, ma'am,"
