he sprang u pand went and told his mother TO
give him three bottles fun of the water of the
Fowtas vel, and he would go 10 the lord dis
guised as . doctor and cure him. So of he
went to Dublin. And all the doctors In Ire
land were around the lord, but none OF. them
could tell what allied him or how to cure him.
Then Towtas came IN and said, 81 will cure
him" So they gave himkntertainment and
lodging, and when hewas 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 Ik q prince. But all the same he
could not get the ring from the lords dAugh-
ter, so he set OF home again quite disheart-
ened, and thought to himself "n / could
only meet the man again that gave me the
ring, who knows what luck l might have.2"
And he sat down to rest in o wood, and saw
there not so far of three boys fighting under
an oak tree.
''Shame on ye 10 fight SO, ',he said TO them.
'rThat is the fight about"
Then they told him. "Our father, " they
said, before he died, buried under this oak
tree a ring by which you can be in any
place in two minutes IL you only wish 1t a
goblet that is always full when standing, and
empty only when on its side and q harp
that plays any tune Of itself that you namo
or wish for"
81 want to divide the things" said the
youngest boy, and let us all go seek our for
tunes as we can"
but I have a right to the whole, said the
eldest.
And they wcnt on fighting, till at length
.Towtas said
'IIl tell you how TO settle the matter. All
Of you be here tomorrow, and I'll think over
the matter tonight, and l engage you win
have nothing more to quarrel about when

So the boys promised to keep good friends
ii | they met in the morning, and went away.
When Towtas saw them clear of he dug up
the ring, the goblet and the harp, and now
said he, I'm all right, and they won't have
anything to fight about in the morning"
on he set back again 10 the lords castle
with the ring, the goblet and the harp but
he soon bethought himself of the power of
the ring, and in two minutes no was in the
great hall where ell the lords and ladies were
just sitting down TO dinner and the harp
played the sweetest music. and they all lis
tened in delight and he drank out of the
goblet whichwas never empty, and then when
his head began to grow a little light, Z II is
enough, - he said; aud putting his arm around
the waist Of the lords daughter, he took his
harp and goblet in the other hand, and muir
mufing, II wish we were at the old fort by
the side of the wood" in two minutes they
were both at the desired spot. But his head
wns heavy with the wine, and he laid down
tho harp beside him and fell asleep. And
hen she saw him asleep she took the ring
of his finger, and the harp and the goblet
from the ground, and was back home in her
ather's castle before two minutes had passed
away.
When Towtas awoke and found his prize
gone, and all the treasure beside, he was like
one mad, and roamed about the country till
he came by an orchard, where he saw n tree
covered with bright rosy nipples. Being hum
cry and thirsty, ho plucked ono and ate it,
but no sooner had he done 30 than horns
began to sprout from his forehead, ahd.grew
larger and larger till he knew he looked like
q goat, and, all he could do, they would not
come of. Now, indeed, he was driven out of
his mind, and thought how all the neighbors
would laugh ut him; and as he ragged md
reared viii shame, he spied another tree with
apples, still brighter, of rudy gold.
IF | were to have fifty pairs of horns I
must have one of those" he said and, seiz-
ing one, he had no sooner tasted it than
the horns.fel OF, and be felt that. he was
looking stronger and handsomer than ever.
Now, l have her at last, he exclaimed.
I'm put horns on them all, and will never
take them of until theygive her to me as my
bride before the whole court"
Without further delay he set of to the
lords palace, carrying with him as many Of
the apples as ho could bring of the two trees.
And when they saw the beauty Of the fruit
they longed forit and he gave them to all,
SO that at last there was not q head to BIO
seen Without horns in the whole dining room.
Then thoy cried out aud prayed ~ have the
horns taken of, but Towtas said -
mo; there they shall be till / have tho
lords daughter given to me for my bride, and
my two rings, my goblet and my harp all re-
stored to me-"
And this was lone before the face Of the
lords and ladies', and his treasures were re-
stored to him; and the lord pleced his daugh-
tlr's hand in the hand of Towta5 saying:,-
Take her she is your vito only free
me from the horns"
Then Towtas brought forth the golden ap-
Piles; and they all ate, and the horns fell of;
and no took his bride and his treasures and
carried them of homo, where he built the
castle of BaIlytowtas, in the place where stood
his fathers hut, and inclosed the well within
the walls. And when he had filled his troas-
ure- room with gold, 80 that no man could
count his riches, he buried his fairy treasures
deep in the ground, where no man knew, and
no man has over yet been able to and them
until this day
