The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-07-21

1 tried to serve a writ on him at that | time and any tradesman who was pushing about being paid. would nave been in luck to have got off With l whole skin, or even with hls ilIe' ior it was sir Condy forever" all over the county and never was such a pop | ular member sent up to Dublin as the | owner of Castle Rackrent, the heir or | the O'Shau-hlins. When Parliament met a great silence fell upon the Cas- | tie, but in the great house which my | lady took in Dublin there was feastins and dancing and all manner of fashion able dissipation.
 | Jason, who since he had been living at the Lodge, had become a great | gentleman and would have none or | his relatives about him, now began to abuse Sir Condy publicly. saying; IT | my lady had the Bank of Ireland at her | hack it would go all in one winter and l Sir Condy will never gainsay her, | though he does not care the rlnd or lemon for her. He has got to look out for another agent. l have done all | that I can.
 | Tn snripe the crash came. Somebody had been buying up Sir Condy's debts | until he had become soIe creator. and then got himself appointed custodian of the estate, everything being placed | in his possession
 Jason Cuirk to the surprise of every | body was found to be named joint custodian with the stranger. And 1t soon was apparent that Jason was the real custodian and the creditor and the other but a shadow. But Jason said he only joined himself in as custodian that he might be in position to make | things easy for Sir Condy. and Of course Sir Condy believed his old friend and schoolfellow whom he trus- | ted all his life.
 The night Sir Condy came home | from Dublin he called for his bowl Of whisky punch as usual. and as he nev- CT took anything to heart long. even his final ruin, he was soon as merry as if nothing had happened. and tos- sed off a bumper: ITO the deserts of that old curmudgeon my father-in-law and all enemies at Mount Juliets Town"

 "I was too young 10 mako chOic, when you ran away with me-" continu ed my lady.
 "Why. Bella!" cried Sir Condy. "Yot know 1 ran away with you at your owl particular request
