(continued from previous page)Curran, the poet, down at heel, empty of pocket and stomach, footsore and tattered, passed the "gate" of Kilmallock into the street and by the shop that boldly proclaimed that within resided a rag and bone merchant.

"In what manner, by what scale, do you place them beyond the pale, of those their quondam owners?". I buy at so much a pound, for I think that's what you mean", said the mystified shop man. To which Curran retorted."Now you who buy by pounds and stones.

All heedless of their owner's moans.
Proceed to weigh me".
