Mr. Garrett Moore 



;^50 ; but " Garry " was so furious at the whole business that 

 he determined to fight the case to the bitter end and take 

 his chance. 



As it was, it cost him ;^5oo — and " Cheap at that, me boy," 

 said he, " for I had quite made up my mind when I went into 

 court that I shouldn't see Littleton again for six months." 



Full of fun, like all his countrymen, " Garry," who was an 

 admirable raconteur, had many a good story to tell, of which 

 the following is a fair sample. 



Returning by train from some meeting in Ireland with a 

 carriage full of companions, it was suddenly discovered that 

 " The Limb," who was one of the party, had omitted to buy a 

 ticket. After some discussion as to what was to be done, it 

 was decided that, like Don Juan on a memorable occasion, 

 being capable of compressure into a small compass, the best 

 way to avoid the attentions of the ticket-collector was to cover 

 him up with a rug and stow him away on the hat-rack — a 

 suggestion which, meeting with general approval, was at once 

 carried into effect. 



The guard appeared at the window in due course, and, 

 having collected his tickets, was just going away, when the 

 irrepressible " Garry," taking the pin from his necktie, gave 

 " The Limb " such a vigorous prod in the fleshiest part of 

 his anatomy as caused the unhappy gentleman to jump up with 

 a blood-curdling yell, the sound of which brought every head 

 to the window all along the train. 



"Ah, now," said the guard, amidst shouts of laughter from 

 the occupants of the carriage, "come out wid ye, Misther St. 

 James.* Skure, ait ifs meself knew you was 7ip thare all the 

 toime ! " 



* " The Limb's " nom de course.
