Billy. What about my wages now?"
says Billy.

Next morning his master told Billy
that something must have happened
one of the giants. for he used TO hear
the cries of three every night, but last
night he only heard two crying.
Il don't know" says Billy, anything
about Them
That morning after he got his break
fast Billy drove the three goats, three
cows, three horses and three asses into
the orchard again. and began to feed
them. About L o'clock he heard three
terrible roars that shook the apples off
the bushes, the horns on the COWS and
made the hair stand up on Billy'S head,
and in comes a frightful big giant, with
six heads, and he told Billy he had
killed his brother yesterday, but he
would make him pay for it the day.
You're too big" says he. for one bite.
and too small for two. and what will I
do with you?"
IN fight you" says Billy. swinging
his stick three times over his head, and
turning ii into sword, and giving him
the strength of thousand men besides
his own.
The giant laughed at him, and says
he, How will kill you-with a swing
by the back, cut OF the sword, or a
square round of boxing?"
With a swing by the back" says
Billy, IF you can"
So the both of them laid holds, and

taking up his sword, killed him and cut
out his tongues. 1t was evening by this

goats, three cows, three horses and
three asses, and what milk the cows
gave that night overlooked all the
vessels in the house. and. running out,

times more surprised now.

three horses and three asses to the or
chard that day again, and the like of
all that passed that day to see the
fight with the man and the fiery drag
on Billy never witnessed before. They
went in coaches and carriages, on
horses and jackasses, riding and walk
ing and crawling and creeping.
My tight little fellow" says man
that was passing to Billy, why don't
you come to see the great fight?"
II won't CO. says Billy. But when
Billy found them all gone he saddled
and bridled the best black horse his
master had. and put on the best suit of
clothes he could get in his masters
house, and rode off TO the fight after
the rest. When Billy went there he
saw the kings daughter with the whole
court about her on q platform before
the castle. and he thought he never
saw anything half as beautiful. and the
great warrior that was to fight the
dragon was walking up and down on
the lawn before her, with a man carry
ing his sword, and everyone in the
whole country gathered there looking
at him. But when the fiery dragon
came up with twelve heads on him, and
every mouth of him splitting fire, and
let twelve roars out of him. the warrior
ran away and hid himself up to the
neck in well of water, and all they
could do they couldn't get him to face
the dragon. Then the kings daughter
asked if there was no one there TO save
her from the dragon and get her in
marriage. But no one stirred
When Billy saw this he tied the belt
of the bulls hide around him, swung
his s'tick over his head and went in,

dragon. Everyone then gathered
about to find who the stranger was.
Billy jumped on his horse and darted
away sooner than let them know: but
just as he was getting away the kings
daughter pulled the shoe off his foot.
When the dragon was killed. the war
rior that had hid in the we'll of water
came out and, cutting the heads off
the dragon, he brought them to the
king, and said that it was he who

with eating and drinking of all sorts,
fit for the king himself" Billy did this,
and then he spread out the napkin and
ate and drank to his hearts content,
and he rolled up the napkin and put it
back in the bulls ear again. Then,
says the bull, now put your hand into
nv right ear and you'll find bit of a
stick If you wind it over your hand
three times it will be turned into a
sword and give you the strength of a
thousand men besides your own, and
when you have no more need of it as
a sword. it will change back into a
stick again. Billy did all this. Then
says the bull, AT y o'clock the NOR
row I'll have to meet and fight great
bull"
Billy then got up again on the bulls
back, and the bull started of and away
where you wouldn't know day by night,
or night by day, over high hills, low
hills, sheep walks and bullock traces,
the, Cove of Cork, and old Tom Fox
with his bugle horn. There he met an
other bull. and both of them fought,
and the like of their fight was never
seen before or since. They knocked the
soft ground into hard, and the hard
into soft, the soft into spring wells, the
spring wells into rocks, and the rocks
into high hills. They fought long, and
Billy Beg's bull killed the other, and
drank his blood. Then Billy took the
napkin out of his ear again and spread
it out and ate a hearty good dinner.
Then says the bull to Billy, says he:
AT L o'clock tomorrow, I'm to meet
the bulls brother that 1 killed today,
and We'll have a hard fight" Billy got

with hen-wife what they could do as
regards separating Billy and the bull.
Nv hat will you give me-" says the hen
wife, and Ill very soon part them :"
"N hatever you ask" says the queen.
We'll and good, then" says the hen
wife. You are to take to your bed,
making pretend that you are bad with
a complaint. and III do the rest of it
And, well and good, to her bed she
took, and none of the doctors could co
anything for her, or make out what
was her complaint. SO the queen asked
for the hen-wife to be sent for. And
sent for she was, and when she came in
and examined the queen, she said there
was one thing, and only one, could
cure her. The king asked what that
was, and the hen-wife said it was three
mouthfuls of the blood of Billy Beg-s
bull. But the king wouldn't on TO ac-
count hear of this, and the next day
the queen was worse STILL and the third
day she was worse still, and told the
king she was dying and he'd have her
death on his head So, sooner than
this, the king had to consent to Billy
Beg's bull being killed
When Billy heard this he got very
down in the heart entirely, and he
went doitherin about, and the bull saw
him and asked him what was wrong
with him, that he was so mournfui, so
Billy told the bull what was wrong
with him, and the bull told him to
never mind, but keep up his heart; the
queen would never taste a drop of his
blood. The next day then the bull was
to be killed. and the queen got up and
went out to have the delight of seeing
his death When the bull was led up to

Billy. What about my wages now?'
says Billy.

for 1 think you'll hardly come back
alive again." says he.
Well and good, Billy went to bed, and
the gentleman went to his bed, and
when the gentleman rose in the morn
ing, says he to Billy. "I don't know
what's wrong with two of the giants;
only heard one crying last night
II don't know" says Billy, they
must be sick or something"
Well. when Billy got his breakfast
that day again, he set out to the
orchard, driving before him the three
goats, tn y cows, three horses and
three asses. and sure enough about the
middle of the day he hears three terri
BILE roars again, and in comes another
giant, this one with twelve heads on
him, and if the other two were fright
full, surely this one was ten times more
so.
You villain, you," says he to Billy,
you killed my two brothers, and I'll
have my revenge on you now. Prepare
till l kill you," says he; you're too
big for one bite. too small for two.
What will 1 do with you?'
I'll fight you," says Billy, shaping
times over his head. The giant laughed
heartily at the size of him, and says he:
What way do you prefer being
killed? Is it with a swing by the back,
az cut of the sword or a square round
of boxing?"
"A swing by the back" says Billy.
So both of them again laid holds, and
my brave Billy lifts the giant clean off
the ground and, fetching him down
again, sunk him down to his armpits
in it.
80, have mercy Spare my life," says
the giant. But Billy took his sword,
and, killing him, cut out mis- tongues.
That evening he drove home his three
goats, three cows, three horses and
three asses, and the milk of the cows
had to be turned into a valley, where it
made a Tough three miles long and
three miles broad, and that Tough has
been filled with salmon and white trout
ever since. The gentleman wondered
now more than ever to see Billy back
the third day alive.
Did you see nothing in the orchard
today, Billy" says he.

Billy.

BILLY BEG AND THE BULL.

Once on time there was a king and
queen, and they had one son, Billy, and
the queen gave Billy bull that he was
very fond of, and it was just as fond
of him. After some time the queen
died. and she put as her last request on
the king that he would never part Billy
and the bull, and the king promised
that, come what might, come what
may, he would not. After the queen
died the king married again. and the
new queen didn't take to Billy Beg, and
no more did she like the bull, seeing
himself and Billy so thick. But she
couldn't get the king on no account to
part Billy and the bull, so she consulted
