    graveyard, which was about six miles from Summerhill. Then the people told him to go home and whenever he would be putting on his boots he was to strike his heel against the ground, and he would get a shilling. They told him not to tell anyone.
    The sister had him tormented until he told the secret about the source of the money. From that day he never got a shilling any more.
