THE MASTER THIEF. M
OIJ) FASHIONED FA llt V STOItIFS.^B
Once upon ;i time there was u
poor cottager who hail three sons.
He had nothing to leave them
when he died, and no money with
which to put them to any trade,
so he did not know what to make
of them. At last he said he would
give them leave to take anything
each liked hesl, and to go whith
ersoever they pleased, and he
would go with them a bit of the
way; and so he did. He went
with thin till they came to a place
where three roads met, and there
each of them chose a road, and
their father bade them good bye
and went back home. I have
never heard tell what became of
the two elder; but as for the
youngest, he went both far and
long, as you shall hear.
So it fell out one night as he
was going through a great wood
that such had weather overtook
him. It blew, and sleeted, and
drove so that he could scarce
keep his eyes open ; and in a trice,
before he knew how it was, he
got bewildered and could not lind
either road or path. Hut as he
went on and on, at last he saw a
glimmering of light far, far oil in
the wood. So he thought ho
would try and get to the light;
and after a time lie did reach it.
There it was in a large house,
and the fire was blazing so bright
ly inside that he could tell the
folks had not yet gone to bed ;
so lie went in,and saw an old dame
bustlingabout and minding I lie
house.
“Good evening!” said I lie youth.
“Good evening!" said the old
dame.
“Ilutetii! it’s such foul weather
out of doors to-night,' said he.
“So it is,’ said she.
“Can I get leave to have a bed
and shelter here to night asked
the youth.
“You’ll get no good sleeping
here,” said the old dame; "for if
the folk come home and lind you
here,they’ll kill both me arid you.’
“What sort of folk, then, are
they who live here V' asked'the
youth.
“Oh robbers! And a bad lot of
them too,” said the old dame.
“They stole me away when I was
| little, and have kept me as their
housekeeper ever since.”
“Well, for all that, I think I’ll
i.jusl go to bed,’ said the youth,
i “Come what may, I’ll not stir out
j at night, in such weather."
i “Very well,” said the oldrdame;
i “but if you stay it will be the
worse for you.”
With that the youth got into
| a bed which stood there, but he
! dared not go to sleep, and very
! soon after in came the robbers ;
so the old dame told them how a
i stranger fellow had coine in
whom she had not been able to
get out of the house again.
“Did you see if he had any
; money ?’ said the robbers.
“Such a one as he money ('said
the old dame; “the Damper! Why
if he had clothes to li is back, i!
was as much as he had."
Then the robbers began to talk
among themselves what they
should do with him; if they should
kill him outright.or what else they
should do. Meantime4h
got Mp and began to talk to them!
and to ask if tney didn’t want, ui
servant, for if might be that hJ
would be glad to enter theii s
vice.

Then the youth took ‘
shoe, and made all the hastJßjl
could to get before the
short nil through the wood, fl||
laid it down before him in
road again. When 1 lie man tfinM
along with his ox, he got
angry with himself lor being HI
dull as to leave the fellow to 1
shoe lying in the road
taking it with him ; so lie
ox to the fence, and said to hifl
self, “I may .jiisf as well run bafl
and pick up the other, and theii
I'll have a pair of good shoes tol
my old dame, and so, perhaps, !’■
get a kind word from her fort
once.'"
Se he set oil', and hunted and
hunted up and down for the shoe,
but no shoe did he liml, and at
length he had to go back with
the one he had; but, meanwhile,
the youth had taken the ox and
gone off with it, and when the
man came and saw his ox gone,
he began to cry and bewail, for
he was afraid his old dame would
kill him outright when she came
to know that the ox was lost.
But just then it came to across
his mind that-he would go home
and take the second ox, and drive
it to the town, and not let his old
dame know anything about the
matter. So he did this, and went
home and took the ox without his
dame’s knowing it, and set oil'
with it to the town. But the rob
bers knew all about it, and they
said to the youth, if he could get
this ox too, without the man’s
knowing it, and without his do
ing him any harm, lie should be
as good as any one of them. If
that were all, the youth said, he
did not think it a very hard thing.
This time lie took with him
rope, and hung himself up under
the arm pits to a tree right in the
man's way. So tlie man came
long With li is ox, and when jfl
saw such a sight hanging 1
lie began to feel a little <iih
“Well,’ said he, “vfiwj
heavy thoughts 'you had j
have hanged yourself up thtj
can't be helped ; you may 1
for what I care! I can’t brei
life into you again;’ and with)
lie wen! on iiis way with InnH!
Down slipped the youth from
the tree, and ran hy a footpath*
ami got before the man, and hung
himself' upright in his way again.
“Bless me!’ said the man,‘were
you really so heavy at heart that
you hanged yourself up there, orj
is if only a piece of witchcraftJ
that I see before met Aye,
you may hang for all 1 carefl
whether you are a ghost or whan
ever you are.’ So he passed qfl
with his ox. '
Now the youth did.just as
had done twice before ; he .pi in
ed down from the tree, ran
through the wood by a footpath!
and hung himself up right in tin
man's way again. Hut when thH
