    graveyard gate and the gate was open. One said to the other "Bring the mare in; the foal might be here". They were talking to each other. One of the men went out to the gate. The gambler heard the talk in the graveyard. He started to run. The man thought it was the foal that was coming calling to his brother that had the mare. "Here he is, bring out his mother". The gambler hearing the words got terrified and said "For God's sake let me pass to-night and don't bring her out and I will promise I will never gamble again. So, he never gambled after that.
    Agnes Costello, as told to my father Michael Costello, Killeen, Ahascragh, Ballinasloe, Co Galway
