the ADVENTURES OF CIAD, SON OF THE KING OF NORWAY. A Tradt®l Fftlk-Tl. From the Ancient Gaelic. By Spumas MaoManus, Author at "Throush the Turf Smoka," "In Chimney Corners." etc. Copyright, 1900. by Seumas MacManua. Clad, Cwud and Mith-Ceud were the three sons of the King of Norway. Ail over the world they were celebrated as Ane, brave fellows, and they had come to think themselves so, too. On a day after Ciad had been walking by the shore for a long time, thinking, he oame back to lids father’s castle. He gaid to his father and his brothers: "Ceud and Mith-Ceud and Clad are cele brated far and wide as great heroes end gallant companions, but I have just been thinking, do we deserve this? Neither of us have ever done anything great. I think it is not right to bear the name of dhamplon without having done anything to earn It. I will leave my father's castle and go away, and prove my right to the title of Hero, or, ff I fail. I will ndver come back.” The King of Norway tried hard to persuade him not to go, but Clad would At Length the Boat's Keel Grated on the Ground. ter be persuaded. He said: "I am lorely ashamed of myself for bearing a title that I have not deserved.” Then, when the King found that Clad was bent on going, he asked him to take the pick of his men to accom panying him in his adventures. Clad said: "No, I'll go by myself.” The King could not Induce him to take my men. I Early next morning Clad was up and breakfasted. He took his arms and his shield with him. and started off. He ■went to the seashore, and traveled away, and away, along It. When he had been traveling for three hours, he saw a speck far out at sea. but it was coming nearer and getting bigger every minute. At last he saw it was a boat, and when it came still nearer, he saw that e woman sat in it. When It was nearer still, he saw that she was a very beauti ful lady. He stood his ground, as the boat was coming straight toward him. At length the boat's keel grated on the He Found His Thirty Men Lying in Blood. gravel, and Clad helped the young lady on shore. Hi* Raid: 'Beautiful lady, who are you? Where do you come from? Or where do you go all aJone?" "Before 1 answer thar,” ehe said, "give ®e your name; for 1 will not reply to those questions unlees you are of royul blood.” He said; "I am of royal blood. I am Clad, son of the King of Norway.” Bhe said: "I am glad of that. I am Dark Eye, the daughter of the King of Franco. Prom France I have come, but where lam going Ido not know. For a year and a day I have been wander ing over the seas in this little boat, seek ing for a champion. A c.mel stepmother has laid a apell on me, under which I had to leave home, and must wander for ever and ever over the seas and the Oceans In this little boat, unles# I can find for her the Bottle of loca (loea was a halm that could Instantly cure all wounds and even restore life Itself to the dend). that Is owned by the Queen of the Isl and of Riches of the World. When I find that, my stepmother's spoil will be lifted off me. For three years now I have been wandering over the world, seeking for this Island, but cannot find It, and can And no one who knows where It Is. I have already put Geasa* on the twelve greatest champions of rile world, order ing them to bring me this bottle. None of fhem got ft, but Instead, the twelve lost their lives As you are a King’s son and a hero, I pus Geasa upon you to bring nae this bottle of loca of the Queen of the Island of the Riches of the World, and hand It to me on this spot In three years and a day from now.” Ciad said: "I accept the Geasa. Dark Eye.” Dark Eve thanked him, he helped her into her boat; she pushed oft and sailed away and away until he lost sight Of her. The Ciad turned and walked back to his father s castle. He told his father of his advanture and of the Geasa that had been laid on him. ”My poor boy," his father said, “I am very sorry for you. There are not three in all the world who know where the Isl and of the Riches of the World Is. and even if you could find that, you would lose your life in trying to take the bottle of loca.’’ Ciad raid that better men than he had already lost their lives in the search, so it would be no shame for him if he. too, lost his. * Hie father asked him to take nine times nine nines of men with him, if he was bent on fulfilling his Geasa. But Ciad said: "No. I shall not take nine men. Give me a ship and let my brothers Ceud and Mith-Ceud go along with me. If uis possible to get the bottle of loca of the Queen of the Island of the Riches of the world, I, with Ceud and Mith-Ceud, will get it. If it is impossible, then your nine times nine nines of men would be lost to you. as well as us." His father gave him the best ship in the harbor, and with Ceud and Mith-Ceud. Ciad, on the morrow, set out on his quest. They sailed for two days and two nights without meeting any adventure; and on the third day they saw a speck on the sea, far off. Very soon they saw It was a ship coming towards them. The nearer they oame to It, they found that it was very large, and when they came very near, they saw that in the ehip was one per son, a great giant, greater than any giant in Norway. When the strange ship came up beside them, the giant asked Clad who he was and what right he had to sail these wa ters. Clad said: “My name I’m not ashamed of. I am Ciad, the son of the King of Norway, a hero. Who are you, and by what right do you question mo?” He said: “I am the Giant cf the Great Seas, and I allow no ship upon these wa ters." Said Clad: “If that is your law, I am sorry for you, for it’s going to be broken this day.” The Giant raised his spear, and Ciad, without waiting, leaped aboard the Giant’s ship with his spear in his hand, and with his shield before him. Ciad and the Giant of the Great 6e.as fell to, and fought as two men never fought before. Their fight was so loud and so iltrce and so terrible, that the seals came from the North seas, and seals came from the pond* of the ocean, ami the little, red Ashes came up from the sen-mcadows, and gathered around the ships to watch the fight. The Giant was brave and a great fight er without doubt; hi* strength and skill were wonderful; but the courageous spirit of Ciad was greater than the Giant’s strength and skill. When the sun was two hours above the Eastern waters they had begun the fight, and when ft was going down into the Western waters, the fight was not ended. But it was very nearly so, for the Giant was weakening, and soon he would have been-beaten, but he gave three calls, and a blue mlat come down from the skies and wrapped his ship round. . _ Whet# the mist cleared away, the Giant and the ship were gone, and Clad was struggling In the water. Ceud and Mith-Ceud took him aboard, and found he was so badly abused and so weak from fighting and loss of blood that there was nothin* for It but to re turn home: so home they went. At home Clad lay In hte bed for three days, with his father’s doctors attending him. (•An obligation which a woman could put upon heroes of ancient Irish hero times. This obligation they could never shirk, if they wanted to preservs thslr claim to being considered heroes.) THE MOKNING NEWS: SUNDAY, AUGUST 12. 190 Q, At the end of that time he got up and asked his father to give him 30 men and another ship, that he might set out on his journey again. His father tried to persuade him not to go. but it was of no use. Ciad said if he did not fulfill his Geasa, he could never hold up his head with men again. Then he set out with two ships. Ceud, Mith-Ceud and himself in one ship, and his father's 30 men in the other. They sailed for three days and three nights in the same direction in which they had gone before, and on the morning of the fourth day he sow two specks on the waters, far off. They were coming toward him. They got larger every moment. He say they were two ships. When they came nearer he saw the Giant standing in one. and a host of men in the other. When they came quite close, Ciad hailed the Giant of the Great Seas, and asked him did he mean battle. The Giant replied: "If you do not mean battle, I do not." "Where are you going, then?" Ciad ask ed. The Giant said: "I am going in search of the Riches of the World." "Where ie that to be found?" said Clad. "It’a on an Island in the Far World." The Bears and the Deer and the Birds All Came to Wateh It. the Giant said, “and ie owned by the Queen of the Island of the Riches of the World.’’ “Then I’ll go with you,” Ciad said. The Giant agreed to this, and all sailed off. They sailed away and away, far fur ther than I could tell you. and twice as far as you could tell me, until at length they reached the island. The Giant said to Clad: “Send your men on -the island first and demand the Riches of the World.” Ciad agreed ro this, and sent his men on the island on a morning, but when night fell they had not come back. Next day Clad himself landed and went in search of them. In the second valley, he found his thir ty men lying in blood. He said: “This is the Giant’s doing.” V2IS * Yj For Every Scale She Flung Into the Fire a White Pigeon Got TTp and Flew From the Chimney. So he went back to hi* ship and told his two brothers If they would engage the Giant’s men, he would engage the Giant himself. This was agreed to. and they attacked the Giant and his men. A fiercer and bloodier battle was never fought on sea or land. The noise and the din were so’ loud, and the battling was so fierce, that the seals came down frem the North seas, the whales up from the pond* of the ocean, and the little fishes, too, from the sea meadows, gath ering around the ship to watch t6e fight. For the length of a day they bat tled. and whfn the sun was one hour above the Western waters. Ceud. Mtth- Ceud and the Giant’s men were all of them dead, but Ciad and the Glam still battled. When the hoop of the sun was on the waters, the Giant, finding hlmsey weak enlng too fast, gave three calls. Clad saw (he blue mist coming down, he gave a bound into the air and drove hie spear to the Giant’s heart .and killed him. Then we went on the Island, and stood Ms two brothers up against a rock fac ing the East, with helmets on their heads and shields nnd spears In their hands. On the next morning he set out to travel over the island, and at irlaht he came to a little hurt where he found one old hag. He asked her If she hod no company. She said; "Yes. I have plenty of that.” He asked to see her company. Bhe struck her stafT on the hearthstone, and up came nine other hags a* old and as ugly as herself. She struck the staff again upon the hearthstone, and then they were the Pine most beautiful dam sels Clad had ever seen. The hag said: "Tf you stay with me. you can have your choice of these nine beautiful damsels for your wife.’’ But Clad remembered Dark Eye of France, and also remembered his Geasa. and he said to the hag, he would have none of them. Then she struck her staff upon the ground angrily, and they all disappeared. He asked for supper and a bed for the night, and the old hag gave him the tees and the tongue of a rabbit fer supper. She gave him a heather bed ’.bat ecered and out him. and an old blaok cat (or a bed-fellow. In the morning he told the hag that he vu looking tor the Queen of thie Isl and. She said: ’T am the Queen.' "If that Is so," he said, "I demand the bottle of loca and the Rlotea of the World." “That," she said, "I ass glad you oan not have.” “If I cannot hava It," he said, ‘‘l will take your staff and break your old bones." "It's like a hero to do that," she said, scofflingly, “but even If you made meal of my old bones, you would no: be nearer the bottle of loca and the Riches of ths World." Clad asked how that was. She said: "Feach-an-Chrulc (The Ter rible Man of the Hill) took awey the bot tle of loca and the Riches of the World from me 200 years ago." “I do not believe it.” said Ciad. But she took him outelde and showed him the hoof tracks of the Peach's horses. where last night’s rains were still lying in them. “W’here does Feach-An-Chrulc live?’’ Clad asked. “He lives a third part of the world from here,” the Hag said. “How may I get there?” Ciad said. “As best you can.” aaid the Hag. “By thUr and by thpt,” said Ciad, seizing her staff, “I’ll make meal of your old bones if you don’t direct me," She took him down to the shore, took a black whistle from her pocket and blew on it, when a little Red Fish appeared on top of the water. “There,” she said, “follow that fish, and it will lead you to Feach-An-Chruic.’’ Ciad stepped. Into his ship, hoisted his sails and went off after yie little Red Fish. He went away for long, long days and long, long nights, sailing one-third of the whole world, until at length the little fish ran Into a wood-bordered bay. Ciad an chored his ship here, and went on chore. He traveled over the mountains for three days and three nights, and on the fourth day he found Feach-An-Chruic di viding beef among his men. Ciad walked up to him and asked for a bit of the beef. "By my faith, no!” said Feach-An- Chruic. "But now that you’re here I’ll save my beef." ’’How Is that?" said Clad. "Because I'll divide you among my men,” said Feaeh-An-Chrulc. "You might not," said Clad. So Clad and the Feach fell to and fought. The Feach was a wild and terrible fight er surely, but the courageous spirit of Clad made Mm a better. The noise and din and fierceness of the fight was so great that the boors came down from the woods und the deer came up from the vadeys, and the blrda from the woods of t',e w.rM to watch It; but before night fell Clad put the Feach down. Then he put his jnee on his bream, and asked him where ha ahould find the bottle of loca and the Riches of the World, Feach-An-Chrute said; "If that Is what you came for and what you fought for, I'm sorry for you. I had the bottle of loca and the Riches of the World only one night when Feach-An-Chotlie* took them from roe." “I do not believe It." said Clad. But the Feach showed him the foot prints of the Feaeh-An-Chollle, with Ust night's rains still lying In them. ’’And where does Feach-An-Cho!!le live?" said Ctad. "He lives a third of the world from here," said Fesch-An-Chrulc. “And how may I get there?” Clad asked, "You're a brave man,” said Fearh-An- Chrule, "and I would like 10 see you suc ceed." With the point of hi* spear he rang three times on his shield, and a wolf-dog came running up, "Follow that dog," aaM LIEBIG COMPANY’S EXTRACT of Beef makes the difference between a flat, flavorless dish and a tidbit that would tempt the most jaded appetite in the world, ot Feach-An-Chrulc, "and he will lead you to Fefch-An-Chollle." Ciad set out after the dog and he trav eled away and away, far further than I could tell you. and twice as far as you could tell me, over hill, hlght and hol low, mountain, moor and sorug, lone val ley and green glen, for long and for long, until at length and at last he reached the land of Feach-An-Chollle. Traveling through it he came upon a hut. and saw Feach-An-Chollle himself standing outside He was leaning against the end of his hut, laughing, and every time he laughed oak trees fell. "Why do you laugh?" said Clad, when he reached him. "I'm laughing for the joy of killing you," aaid Feach-An-Chollle. "Wouldn't it be better to laugh after?” said Clad. Then he raised his epear. and he and the Feach went at the fight. The poise and the din and the fierceness of the flgnt was such that tne boars came down from the wood, and the doers came up from the valleys, and the birds from the woods of the world loaded the tree tops around to watch. If Feaeh-An-Chut ie was a great llhter, Feach-An-Choille was a far great er, but as great as he was. Ciad's coura geous spirit was still greater, and when the sun was behind the trees in the west, Ciad put the Feach down. "You're a brave man," said the Feach, when he was down. "What can I do for you?" "You can give me the bottle of loca and the Riches of the World," aald Clad. "1 cannot,” said the Feach. “I'm sorry. I had the bottle of loca and the Riche* of the World only one night, when the King of Tersla took them from me. And now." said the Feach. “you may as well return home, for you can never get them from the King of Persia." "Why can not I?" said Clad. "Because," he said, "the King of Persia, 'filter Over Mountains and Valleys Until They Came to Her Father's. when he got the Riches of the .World, call ed together at once the Seven Wizards of th East, and had them lay spells on him, so that no man could ever conquer him.” "I'm sorry for that," said Clad, "hut I'll not return home; I'll travel on to meet my fate.” Clad traveled on for a long time. He came to a plain that was covered with dead men. and on one of the dead men ho saw a gold boot and a silver boot. He got hold of the gold boot and tried to put It off. and the man whom he thought was dead struck him with the other boot and tossed him. "Who are you?” said Clad. ”1 am Swift Sword, son of the King of Spain, one blow of whose sword has the power of 1,000 men for 1,000 years, and would blow the sky dry." he said. "This Is my army that 1 brought into the Eastern world, and all of them are killed.” "I am to find you." said Clad, "for I am your cousin Clad, the son of the King of Norway. £ome with me." Clad and Swift Sword set out. and trav eled on and on until they came to the lake of the Singing Shore, and traveled by it until they reached a small house. As they cams up to the house, they saw a pigedn fly from the chimney at every atep they took. CJjad thought this very strange, and that he would go in and find out what It meant. Inside, he saw a very beautiful young lady sitting by the fire. She had a wand covered with scales In her hand. She was plucking the scales from ft, one by one, and flinging them Into the fire, and for every srale she flung Into the fire, a white pigeon got up and flew from the chimney. "The blessing of Crora ou you,” said Clad. "I am Clad, the son of the King of Norway. lam traveling In search of the King of Persia to get from him the bottle of loca and the riches of the world. I would like to know the name of the beautiful damsel I am addressing.” She said, ”1 am Pearl Month, daughter of the King of Persia, and am living here all alone, very for from my country and my people." "How Is that?" said Clad. She said: "A year ago I married Blue Gold, the non of the King of Africa, and on my marriage day he was carried away by force by Mountain of Fierceness, son of the King of Greece, and turned Into a pigeon In the Eastern Skies. I have sat here for a year sending off these messen gers to And him, but not one of them has come back.” "! am very sorry for you.” Clad said. "And I am very sorry for you,” said Pearl Mouth. "How Is that?” said Clad. "Because my father, the King of Per sia,” she said, "cannot be conquered by living man, so you can never force from him the bottle of loca and the Rlchea of the World.” "Then I’ll die in trying,” said Clad. "Isn't It better to get them and live?” Pearl Mouth said. "But I cannot do that,” Clad said. "If you are a very great hero, there is Just a chance for you,” said Pearl Mouth. Clad asked her what that ehanee was, and she told him that tf he would find Mountain of Fierceness, the son of the Kin* of Greece, and conquer him and bring hack to her Blue Gold, the would get for him from her father what he wanted, "Then," he said, "I shall do that.” •'Not so easily," said Pearl Mouth, "for no one In the world can overcome Moun tain of Flrcenrss unless he has the Bu aldh* of Soul of Steel, Prince of India.” “Then.” said Clad, “I will set off and find that.” Away he (Parted, and did not stop until he reached India. He demanded Bualdh from Sonl of Steel. 'That I wll loot give you,” said Soul of H 'c/1 Then Clad said: “I will fight you for te.” "You will only throw away your life," said Soul of Steel, "for no man can conquer me bet one,” "And who it that one?" said Clad. "The man who can kill the Giant of the Great Beoe.” eald Soul of Steel. "Then,” snM Cisd. "I'm thet man;” and he told hie story to Soul of Steel. Soul of Steel said he waa a great hero, surely, and that he waa glad to give him the Bualdh. "Break a branch,” he sold, "from that •The Terrible Man of the Woo* oak tree that grows before my castle, and it will give you Buaidh " Clad went to the oak tree and broke a branch, but when it fell to the ground It sprang up into a great tree, and. with every other branch he broke, the same thing happened. The Soul of Steel came out and gave him his cloak. He said: "Spread this under the branch.” He broke another branch, which fell on the cloak, and he carried it off and went In search of the Mountain of Fierceness. He traveled away and away before him, far further than I can tell you. and twice as far na you could tell me, over hlght. hill and hollow, mountain, moor and scrug, iono valley and green glen, until at last and at length, he found In Afrkla, Mountain of Fierceness with all hla men, gathered together on a hilltop. lte walked up to them and asked what was happening. They said Mountain of Fierceness was being married to the Queen of the Indies. Ho pushed his way to where the prlesta were marrying them. Mountain of Fierceness asked the stran ger what he wanted. Ciad said: “I have coma to conquer you." "That, my good man, you can't do," said Mountain of Fierceness. "It's bet ter for you to return to your home, for I'm getting married." "I'll never return until I've taken your life, or made you grant me one request," said Clad. "I'll not give you my life, and I'll not grant you one request," said Mountain of Fierceness, "hut I'll spit you on the polht of my spear If you don't leave this and go whence you come." Then Clad asked him to step out for a fight. "I <k>n't want to take your life Or any man's to-day," said Mountain of Fierce ness, "as I am to be married. Yet no man can overcome me unless he has Hualdh from flout of Steel, the Prince of India.” "And that I have," said Clad, throwing the oak branch at his feet. Mountain of Fierceness looked at this, and then said: “Will you spare my life?" "On one condition," said Clad, "and that Is that you tell me where Blue Gold. Prince of Africa, Is, whom you carried off from his wife a year ago, and how I may get him.” "Where he Is. and what he I*. I can tell you," said Mountain of Fierceness, "and how you may get him, but I very much doubt if ever you can get him. He Is n wild pigeon In the Eastern Skies—nothing can catch him but ihe magic net of the King of Ireland's Druid, and this net could only be purchased by one-third of the rk'hes of the world, and nothing con disenchant him hut nine grains of wheat that lie at the bottom of the Well of the World's end, which can only be emptied by 3,000 men In 3,00(1 years." When Clad heard this he bade him good by. He sent Swift Sword to Ireland to get Ihe loan of the magic net of (he King of Ireland’s Druid, on the promise of pay ing him one-third of the Rlehes of the World, and told Swift Sword to meet him at the Well of the World's End, Away and away then he traveled, far further than I can tell you, and twice as far as you con tell me over hills a hun dred miles high, and valleys a hundred miles deep; across plains where living man had never been before, and through great woods that were so fsr from the world that the birds themselves had never reach ed them, until at length and at last he reached the Well of the World's End and there he found Swift Sword before him, with the net of the King of Ireland's Druid. With three blows of the awnrd Swift Sword blew the Well of the World's Knd dry, and they took from the hotsom the nine grains of wheat. They spread the net In the Eastern World and caught In It a hundred thousand pig eons, amongst them one great wild pigeon, which wee Blue Gold. They gave him to ea the nine grains of wheat, and then stood up a hand some Prince before them—Blue Gold. With Mm they traveled hack away and away, until they came to the Lake of the Singing Shore, and to the little house where they found Pearl Mouth, who was rejoiced to get her Blue Gold back again. Then the four of them set out and traveled away and away, over moun tains and valleys and great long plains, until they came to her father's, the King of Persia, from whom she de manded the Bottle of loca and the Riches of the. WorM to give them to Clad and repay him for his services. The King of Persia said: "J(o man could ever take these from me, but I give them willingly to the brave cham pion. Clad.” He and Swift Sword spent that night in the King of Perrla's castle, and In the morning set ou for home. When they came to the Plain of Blood, they shook one drop from the Bottle of loca on Swift Sword's army, and all of them stood up alive and well. Clad then parted with Swift Sword, who was going on to conquer the East, and he himself—for his time was now getting short—did not turn aside, hut went direct for home. And on the evening of the day on which the three years and a day would have expired, Clad stood upon the spot on the sea shore from which he had set out, and there he found Dark Eye awaiting him. He gave her the Bottle of Jora, and her stepmother's spells were at once tak en off her. They went to the Island on which he had left his two brothers, Ceud and Mith-Ceud; they shook on them one drop from the Bottle of loca, and the two were again alive and well. All of them set out and sailed to his father's castle— he and his two brothers and Dark Eye. with the Bottle of loca and the Riches of the World. A messenger was sent at once to France, lo invite the King to come to his daughter’s marriage, and to bring his sons and his great lords with him. And another messenger brought to the King of Ireland's Druid his magic net and a third of the Riches of the World, and in vited the King of Ireland and ail Ms court to come to the marriage also. One hundred kings sat down lo tha wedding feast. The wedding iasttd ninety-nine days and ninety-nine nights, and the last night was better than the first.
