IOOu, saying.
"Now have brought you food for the
staff and my father must open it; if he
does not open it he will attack us with an
army. We must perish under the open
sky, but you in this vault
He replied that she was not to frighten
herself. "but go, lie down, and soon Jump
up and say to your father: Ny dear
papa, have dreamt of good luck for us
He will say: 'WhatF Reply to him: Il
dreamt that should tell you that, if you
will open the staff, you need only I'LL a tub
with water and put the staff in it; the
staff will turn with that side up on which
it opens.'"
Even so it came to pass Her father did
so, sealed up the staff on that side and
sent it to the king. The king wrote back
to him: 'You have certainly done it, but
not with your own stupid head. But you
have one hard by your house, of whom
YOU know not; he has done this for you"
Then he wrote a letter again to the count
and said: 81 shall send you three horses
all alike, and you must tell me how many
years old each is" And all alike they
were. One was one year old, the second
two and the third three years old.
Then the damsel took him food and said
to him:
Snow 1 am bringing you food for the
last time; you will have do die here and
we in the open air, for the king has sent
us three horses exactly alike, and we must
tell him how old each is" He replied
that she must go and lie down, and say
that she had dreamt thus: That he must
prepare three heaps of oats of three diff
ferent years, and let the horses go to the
oats, and they would go of themselves
each to his own heap; the one which was
..1l A.. ~
oats, the second to the second, and the
third to the third heap. She told him
| this. And it came to pass Just as she told
him.
Then he wrote in reply to the king and
the king to him: Certainly you have
done this, but not with your own stupid
head; but you have another who does it
for you, of whom you are not aware But
l shall send you one thing more. / shall
send you, on given day, at the hour
when you will be at dinner, warmace
weighing three hundred weight; it will
strike the spoon out of your mouth. You
must throw it back to me Just as 1 threw
it to you" Indeed, this, too, came to
pass. The mace flew in, knocked his
spoon out of his hand, and flew off with
speed into the cellar, inside which il
stuck so fast that a score of soldiers
couldn't move, much less throw, it,
L Now the count assembled and invited all
the people, but no one was able to do it
She took him food again. and said to him
''You have set us free twice, but certainl,
the third time you will not be able to d.
SO, and now you will die here and all of u
in the open air"
He then asked her what sort of work
was that had to be done. She told hin
and he answered.: $50 home and Ii
down, then get up and say that you hay
dreamt that no one else but / can do it, s
tell you; but the count Will not beliey
you, yet will think, since you have twic
dreamed with success, that possibly now
too, it may be true" And so il came b
7 pass.
7 The count caused him to be dug out
He saw how weak he was and said: "a
a am stronger than he, but can't throw il
Q how, then, can he throw it!' But th
a young man drank nothing but milk fo
: three months. Then he went out to loo
at the mace and was already able to NOV
it. Then he went in for three months Z
eat. Then he was able, with his left hand
: to throw it two hundred fathoms high int
the air. He went in once more to eat f0
three months. Now he was exceedingl
strong, and told the count to write freel
to the king that on such and such day
!, = at such and such an hour, the mace wonl
arrive and knock the spoon out of hi
mouth at dinner In fact, so it was. II
threw it a hundred and twenty-five hour
a walk into the other kingdom.
5 Now the king saw that he had done TIL
y also. Then he wrote to him: ''Certainl
s you have done all that / told You, but M
with your own stupid head, but he h,
e done it for you, whom you caused to
n walled up in vault. But Won must sen
}, him here to me, that l may see him"
e wanted to slay him.
n Now the count was unwilling to let hi
go, but. nevertheless, he was obliged to q
n so. But do you know what, coun
q Cause all your people TO be summons
! hither, and We will select as many as ev,
!, we can that resemble me-"
n There Were only nine such. and he hin
: self was the tenth. Now he told him
have exactly similar uniform made fS
-. them all, SO that, at any rate, no OF
u would know one to be different from al
other, and to provide similar horses Fl
/ all, and then he would go thither. Ev,
/ so it came to pass. Then the ten wen
But before they arrived at the town
said to them: ''Indeed You don't kno
= why we are going thither; we are going
II be put to death; but tell You not to be
u any wise afraid This king will give V,
y the word of command when we ente

that no one is behindhand, but all aliL
j, and at once. Then he will say: 'sMiluti

spoke most wisely, and put a mark up
n him.
a Now they all lay down and began
40 converse as to what would come out
!, this. Milutin then said: Doubtless
,r now he has not recognized me, and W
y ride after me and will overtake us; /
never mind that, only kneel down a
pray to God. Then notice well; if fl
81 emit FIRE ut of my mouth, kin yoursely
q but if he emits it first, have no fear VIII
81 ever; this signifies to you that hum

q, The man under the bed heard q

&c. told them that each must look well at
ly clothes; maybe there would be some ms
10 on some ones uniform. But all at once
observed that just his boot-heel had b,
cut off, and said: "All give me "
n. boots, that may cut off each of the he
Just as have mine cut off"
IL Now the king came to summon the
'Milutin, come to breakfast" and Il
a all went at once. And the king saw t

did not know which to put to dea
~ Then he reprimanded the servant. \
