- (continued from previous page)The man asked him to have a game of cards. The man went in and started to play. It happened that the Ace of Diamond's fell to the floor. The man stoped down to pick it up when he saw the shoes the other man had on him. He stood up and said "I better be going" and he said he would never go that way again. Onxe a piper went into the case in Killall (?). He told the people he would play music for they to listen. Suddenly the music stoped and the piper was taken of by fairies.
