was the best mimic CA-pA xa
wig, could sing good song, tell sSSskAs
a ca ptal story, was free of all the x
Jokes and tricks in the calendar, 49,
and as YOU may well suppose
was in hot water chronic condition. Yet, tor
all that there wasn't mortal on the globes round
that loved better both by friends and enemies
alike than poor Ned Hynes-God rest you,
Ned!
But the joke he played upon Lord Uplanns and
Fitzohn Montgomery was the GROWING one IN
Neds career. 1t during that twelve months
when Uplanns Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and
made himself always unpopular, and often laughing
stock, account of the pomposity and ridiculous
vanity of the man constantly putting him into very
ludicrous corners; while at the same time he would
do the oldest things, on occasion, that ever Lord
Lieutenant did before since. More by the same
token Ned HyneS but sorry tavor1te with
Uplanns For at the dinners Uplanns gave to the
Law. Ned, in the cracking of his jokes-which he
could more help poor fellow! than the sun its
shine-was no respecter of persons OF the
persons of pompous Lord Lieutenants. And Uplanns
used to cali him Ugly Hynes, thinking he was thereby
striking the sorest point on man S corpus
Ned used to enjoy this and used to say: 1t is my
misfortune not to be born beauty; but then, you
know, no mortal can expect all gifts; Beauty and
brains we're never in the one box NE Messlf and His
beauty; Upanns has got it all in beauty"
At the time 1 talk of Ned was reigiously
doing the Northern Circuit, though no stray SOW
ereign on account of any case meandered into his
purse even by accident He had splendid rlgout
UNPAID for, of course, and likely so to remaln),
for he had to the conclusion that 1t was nne
clothes more than the fine the rascally clients
looked for But the shine of his black suit and glossy
castor had not for far hypnotzed soul OF them.
1t attracted beggars by the bushel, which Ned
joyed for he had whispered one of these chaps,
when he came to him with his tale OF woe and
string of prayers that would reach from Carrick-
fergus to Christmas-whispered to him, Honor
among thieves, by your leave! I'm one OF your
selves"
Well in this gorgeous suit of his, he one day
found himself with another poor devil OF barrster
Tod him
fifteen mile from Omagh, the two of them bending
their for the next assze town with not solitary
three ha pence between the pair of them. Up on the
hillside to the left of the road, very beautifully
situated indeed, a handsome residence took their
was lived in it, and learned that it was Fitzj John
Montgomery.
Ned whstled He had heard power about this
Montgomery, who was pompous kind OF a man
also, who put up for big things small justltca-
tions. 1t oftentmeS game OF the lawyers at the
Omagh assizes to go en- masse to his house of
evening, butter him up, an have the father and
mother of fine supper at the lads expense. More
over Just now there a deal of talk about him,
by reason he was seekin to be president of a
ducing in the north; with every likelihood of getting
it, too for the reason that he heartily
hated the people, and the people ~
