b. So the. giant took the bag into room
to sew a burst that was in il, he told
the eagle. Then he put in with Jack
as much provisions as would last MIN
for twelvemonth. Then he bid Jack
goodbye and wished him godspeed-
And Jack heartily thanked him. He
then sewed up the bag again and gave
it to the eagle. He took it up and start
ed away on his flight. and he flew on
and on and on till the DAYS turned 70
weeks and the weeks to months, ana
poor Jack thought they would never
reach their journeys end. But, at
length, when they were nearly year
out-though ii seemed to JACK to De
twenty years since they started-Jack
found the eagle slackening in his flight,
and coming down and down and down
lower and lower. till at length they
touched the ground. and Jack cut a
little hole in the bag to look out of, and
there he saw a castle far greater tnan
all the. castles put together that ever
he had seen before, and out of IL there
comes a great giant, and when Jack
saw him he didn't know whether TO be
glad or sorry. for it was no other nor
The giant of the band-beggars' hall,
The greatest giant over them all.
You're welcome" seq the giant to
the eagle. It's so long since you were
here I thought I'd never see your face

So off he flew. and the giant said to
himself he wondered who would be
sending a bag to him, " what was IN
it. So. taking out big clasp knife. he
cut open the bag, and out my brave
Jack steps, and
How do We do" SEE Jack, seq he

greatest giant over them alp
Well, the giant, when he caught a
glimpse of Jack, was staggered and
dumfounded.

he come TO himself we're a most Won

were too clever by half for me- And
I'll stand to my contract. for you de-

more than that" SEE he, Il have a
young daughter that I never intended
to let marry-for l couldn't think to
get a husband for her that would be
to my liking, till / fell in with yOu-but
now that have met you. and seen the
uncommon clever man you are entirely
you can have her if she takes your
fancy, with heart and a half, and d
handsome fortune
Jack said nothing to this till he
would see her, for he had a fancy that
no matter what fortune she might
have-and he suspected the fortune
such giant could give her would be
no missile could find nicer girls in
Ireland. But. machree, when he saw
the very first sight of her, the beau
ties of Ireland all flew out of his head.
and he was head and ears in love with
her at once, for the like of her for
pure downright loneliness he never be-
fore laid his two eyes on. And when
her father asked her what she thought
Of Jack. she couldn't contain herself,
she was that much in love with him.
So the thing was settled up at once,
and Jack was thinking of his poor
father and mother grieving for him at
home. and couldn't think of any delay.
So the giant of Che band beggars' hall
counted out to Jack as a fortune with
the beauty a sword that the man who
fought with il couldn't be beaten. and
a loaf of bread that would never grow
less no matter how much was cut off il,
and a flask of whisky that would never
be emptied. no matter how much was
drunk from it. and purse that would
always be full. no matter how much
was taken out of il. He then gave
them two wishing caps that they had
only to put on their heads and wish TO
he any place. and they would be there.
So they took the giants blessing. and
putting their caps on their heads,
wished to be at the oldest of the three
brother gaint's house that helped Jack
and when they come there Jack gave
him the sword. for he said he had nc
in Ireland he was afraid of. They then
put on their caps and wished to be al
the next giants: and when they come

said Ireland never yet knew want

that Jack fell in with. and when they
came there, Jack gave him the fash

the purse for himself, saying that hi
could do good with it. They then pu
on their caps, and wished to be home
in the kings castle in Ireland; anC
home they were at once. And thai

there was the joy and the rejoicing
