10 you Tell ne so. JACKIE" saws the
king. You must have great mousthers of
bees"
"Monsthers," says Jack, "Ab. yer high
ness, monsthers is no name for some Of
them l mimber," says Jack, avs he,
mighty great breed of bees me father own
ed. They were that big that when my ia
Tiers new caste was a-buiidjn' On the

to be too small for a man Of his mains) the
Workmen c.osed in the roof, an 1t was
found there was bee inside an the han
door moi bciu wide enough, they had to
toss the side wall o 1t il CUT Then the
queeny tee-ah, She was a wonderful
baste entirely" says Jack, whenever she
went out TO AXE the ar she used to over
turn all the bitches and hedges in the
country; the W nd Of her wings tossed
houses an castles; she used to swallow
who flower gardens; an one day she flew
against a ridge of mountains nineteen
thousand feet high an knocked piece out
from top to bottom, an its called Barnes
more Gap TO this day. This queeny bee was
a great trouble an annoyance to my fa-
Their, seein' all The harm she done the
naYbours round about an once she took
il in her head 10 fly over to ENGLAND an
She created such mischief an disso alton
ther that the King of Englan' wrote over
TO my father if he didn't come immeid ate
ly an take home his queeny bee that was
wrackin' an runiu' all afore her he'd
come over himself at The head of all his
army and wipe my IA her off the face of
the earth. So my ia her
ordhered me 10 mount our Won
dherful big horse that / tould We about
an that could go nineteen miles al every

home our queeny bee. An ! mounted the
horse an started, an when l come as far
as the sea | had to cross TO get over TO
Englan l put the horses two fore feet
into my hat, an in that way he thrashed
the sea dry all the way across an landed
me safely. When l come to the King Of
Enslan he had to supply me with nine
hundred and ninety-nine thousand men an
ninety-nine thousand miles OF chains an
ropes to catch the queeny bee an bind her.
1t took us nine years to catch her, nine
more to tie her, and nine years an nine
millions Of men to drag her home an the
King of Englan' was a besgar after from
that day till the day of his death. Now,
what do you think of that bee?' says
Jack thinking he had the King this time
sure enough
But the King was a cutter one than
Jack took him for an he only smiled
again, an says he
well, Jack that was a wonderful
great queeny bee entirely
Next, for poor Jacks third an last
chance, the King took him to show him
a wonderful field of beans he had, with
every bean-stalk fifteen feet high an every
bean The size of goose's egg.
We'll, Jack" says ,he King, says he,
I'm engage We never saw more Won
dherful bean-stalks than them?'
rs il them?' says Jack. "Arrah, man.
yer kingship," says he, they may be very

throw them out Of the ground for useless
afther-shoots in Donegal. | mind one
bean stalk in particker, that my father
had for show an curiosity, that he used
to show as a great wondher entirely to
strangers. 1t stood on nnety3-nlue
miles high, an every leaf covered nine
acres. 1t fed nine thousand horses,
nine thousand mules, an nine thousand
jackasses for nineteen years. He used
to send nine thousand harvestmen up the
stalk in spring to cut and gather off the
soft branches at the top They used 10
cut these off when they'd reach up as far
as them (Which was always in harvest
tjme). an throw them down, an nine hun
dred and ninety -nine horses an carts were
kept busy for ninemonths cartin' the stuff
away Then the harvest men always
reached down to the foot of the stalk a
Christmas again"
Fax Jack" says the King, 'ut was
a wonderful bean-stak entirely"
you might say that" says Jack, try
ing to make the most of it, for he was
now on his last leg. you might say
that" says he. why l mind one year
l went up the stalk with the harvestmen,
an when | was nine thousand miles up,
doent I miss my foot, an down l come.
l fell feet foremost, an sunk up to my chin
in a whinstone rock that was at the foot.
There l was in q quandhary-but / was not
long ruminatin' ill I hauled out my knife,
an cut off my head an sent ii home to
look for help. l watched after my head
as it went away, an' 10 an behold ye,
aforei il had gone half a mile I saw a fox
set onto it, an begin to worry it. by
this an by that says / TO myself, but
this is TOO bad An I jumped out and
away as hard as l could rum 10 the as
sistance of my head. An when | come up
l lifted my foot, an give the. fox three
kicks an knocked three Kings out of him
every one of them nicer an better jim
tleman than you"
'Ye're liar, an natranal wan" says
the King.
More power to ye," says Jack, givin'
three buck leaps clean into the air "an'
it's proud I am to get yer to confess it;
for ! have won yer daughter"
Right enough the King had to give up
to Jack the daughter-an' be the same
token, from the first time she clapped
her two eyes on Jack she wasn't the girl
to gansay him-an' her weight in goold.
An they were both Of them married, an
had such a weddin as surpassed all the
weddin's ever heard Tell of afore or since
in that country or in this. An Jack lost
no time in seudn' for his poor ould moth
. | er an neither herself nor Jack ever after
knew what it was 10 be in want. An may
you an l never know the same, naither
