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.

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 I 10,1.
