    (continued from previous page)
    Father --- was so wild at the trick that was played on him that he never spoke to Stack again during his time in the parish.
    In after years Tom Stack used to tell the story with great gusto, and he used to say with a twinkle in his eye, "God help me I suppose I'll never be forgiven I told a lie to the Priest".
    Fr. --- is still alive and is P. P. in South Kerry. Tom Stack is dead - he would be about 100 years now had he lived.
