  1. (no title) (continued)

    When it was time to pay the rent, a poor man went to Castlebar to sell oats so he would have money to pay the rent.

    (continued from previous page)
    that every one he met was running away from him and he didnot know why. The priest them told him of the man that came home dead and that they thought it was him. The man said it was not him as he was having a fine time then. He then sent for the man's wife & told her all. They were very happy after that & they never had to pay any rent.
