IL - Last IN her Pscksf n the safest
place.
Bet uhea TOztns GwOke and missed
his ring. his heart Vas grievcd-
Mos, indeed, he said, my luck Is
gone"
And be inquired of all the servants, and
then of the lords daughter, and she
laughed, by which he knew she had il /;
but no cosxing could get it from her, so
when all was useless he went away, and
set out again TO reach his old home.
And be was very mournful and threw
down on the ferns near an old
fort, waiting until night came on, for he
feared to 60 home in the daylight lest the
people should laugh at him for his folly.
And about dusk three cats came out of
the fort talking to each other.
"How long our cook is away |" said one.
"What could have happened to him2"
said another.
And as they were grumbling, fourth
cat came up.
"What delayed you2" they all asked,
angrily.
Then he told his story-how he had
met Towtas and given him the ring.
''And l just went" he said, ito the lords
palace to see how the young man be-
haved; and I was leaping over the dinner
table when the lords knife struck my
tail and three drops of blood fell upon
his plate, but he never saw 1t but swal-
lowed them with bis meat. So now he
has three kittens inside of him, and is dy-
my of agony, and can never be cured un-
til he drinks three draughts Of the water
of the well of Ballytowtas."
So when young Towtas heard the cats
talk, he sprang up and went and told his
mother to give him three bottles full of
the water of the Towtas well, and he
would 60 to the lord disguised as doc
tor and cure him. So off he went to
Dublin. And all the doctors in Ireland
were around the lord, but none of them
could tell what allied him, or how to cure
him. Then Towtas came in and said, II
will cure him." So they gave him en-
and lodging, and when he
was refreshed he gave of the well-water
three draughts to his lordship, when out
jumped the three kittens. And there
was great rejoicing, and they treated
Towtas like prince. But all the same
he could not get the ring from the lords
SO he set off home again quite
and thought to himself, eff
I could only meet the man again that
gave me the ring, who knows what luck
I might have2" And he satdown to rest
in wood, and saw there not far off three
boys fighting under an oak tree.
"Shame on ye to fight So" he said to
them, "What is the fight about2"
Then they told him. "Our father"
they said, "before he died, buried under
this oak tree ring by which you can be
in any place in two minutes If you only
wish it; goblet that is always full when
standing, and empty only when on its
side; and harp that plays any tune of
itself that you name or wish for.''
IT want to divide the things" said the
youngest boy, land let US all 20 and seek
our fortunes as we car."
"But have a right to the whole" said
the eldest.
And they went on fighting, till at length
Towtas said -
an tell you bow 10 settle the matter.
All Of you be here to-morrox, and III
think over the matter tonight, and En-
gage you will have n0shiag more TO quar-
rel abozt when Yea come in the m0rn-
