when Jack tould him the second thrial, he
got down-hearted again, and said he'd
surely lose his boy this time.

and slept sound that night again; and the
next night he went to the graveyard and dug
UP a fresh corp about the same age as him
self. and taking it home he dhressed it in
a shoot OF his own clothes and started for
the castle in the middle OF the night, and
gettin' undher the kings bedroom window
he hoisted up the corp, and at the same
time threw gravel again the panes.

up in his bed; and seeing the head at the
window he fired, and Jack, with that, let
the corp fall.
