and all the other pieces into the holes in it's
hide-for the poor baste's skin had holes
enough to hide away a fortune in, goodness
knows-slipping them just where you'd know
in under the skin; and then he went into tho
hotel and ordered the best of everything,
eating and drinking for himself, and as for
the horse, he told them not to spare the
corn and bran mashes on him, for he was
going to put him into training for a great
race. Manis got all he called for, and the
horse, too, got everything OF the best, and
that all Jared well until 1t came to the pay
ing of the bill, which came to a big figure
entirely. When the bill was put before
him, Manis said he would call again and pa,
it; that he had no ready cash about him
now, and all that. But the walters raised
the divil Of a %ruction, and sent for the owner
Of the hotel himself, who happened to be
mayor over the town, And they pointed
out Manis to him, and told him the whole
story, and the mayor said that II Manis
didn't take and pay the money on that In

and have him huns by court-martial at once.

didn't just want to abuse my poor haste now,
seeing he's after a long journey; but to stop
your throat I'll do anything, so here he
goes" And with that MANS plants his
hat on his head and away out TO the stables,
with the mayor and all the walters after him
to see what he was up to at all, at all.
MANS led the pony out to the yard and.
telling the crowd TO stand off him, he got
with a stick in the other he struck the
horses ribs just beside the place he had hid
the half sovereign, and che horse flung up
as we'll as hs was ~able-bekase for six years
before he never had the spirit to ding till he
got the feed Of corn and bran-and out jumps
the gold half sovereign and rolls just right
TO the mayors feet. The mayor looked down
at It bewildered.
"Will ye kindly" SEE MANS, SEE he, in an
on-hand sort OF way 90 the mayor, will yer

The mayor picked it up, and he looked
the other side, and then jingled it on the
ground, and next bit it with his teeth.
well, by all that's infarnal," SEE he, "but
it's a good shining goold half sovereign, ="
SEE he, with the kings head on It,"
"Humph!" SEE Manis, SEE he, sis that all?
That's not enough, then. We must try
again."
So Manis whacked the horse again, and
again, and again; and the horse flung up
again, and again, and again; and the coins
come jumping out, rolling among the
walters, and them picking them up, and
shouting out every time how much they
were. When Manis got enough to pay the
bill
"Now," seq he, when l have my hand
on him, l may as well take the price of a
box Of matches and a bit of tobacco out
of him." and he logged out another couple
Of half-crowns, the mayor and the walters
looking on with their mouths open and
rubbing their eyes every now and then to
see whether 1t was asleep or awake they
were. When MANS had finished, and had
all the pieces fiogged out OF him except
a couple, he yoked him into the cart, as II
he was going to start.

"and fetch me out $500 you'll get rolled up
in the foot of an old stocking in the bot

you take this horse out of the cart and
put him into the stable" SEE he.
So the waiter soon came running back
with the foot of an old stocking, and the
lord mayor counted 500 gold sovereigns
out of it down into Manis' hand, and Manis
and him parted, Manis going whistling home
with a light heart.
The mayor had the pony locked up in a
stable by itself, VI TO the eyes in corn and
bran, and he double-locked it, putting the
key into his own pocket, and then went
round the town telling all his gentlemen
friends Of his good fortune, and inviting
them all to come at ~ o'clock the next day
till they would have the pleasure of seeing
him logging a hundred pounds or so out OF
the horse. Sure enough, at IL o'clock the
next day, all his gentlemen friends were
gathered in the hotel yard, and the lord
mayor came out and opened the stable door,
and ordered one of his men to lead out the
horse. He was provided with a nice little
tough cane himself, that he had bought at
IS pence in a little shop next door, specially
for the occasion, and he ordered his man TO
lead the horse into the middle of the yard.
and then he went round clearing a circle
round the horse, putting his gentlemen
friends back with the cane, as he said the
little coins would likely be rolling among
them, and maybe get lost.
"Now, John" SEE he to the man who was
holding the horse. keep a good tight grip
on the reins, and don't let him burst away.
I'll not keep you long, for I'll only a k a
few hundred pounds out OF him the day,
just to let these gentlemen friends OF mine
see the thing. Hold hard. now" sec he,

and he drew the cane a sharp slap on the
poor baste's ribs.
Up flung the horse and out jumped a coin
and rolled into the crowd.
The lord mayor crossed his arms, and
axed some of the crowd to lift 1t and tell
him what it was.
They lifted and examined It, as II 1t was
one Of the seven wonders Of the world, and
they bit it and scratched it and jingled 1t,
and SEE they:
Its a good, bright shilling, with the
kings head on it,
"Humph!" SEE the lord mayor, a wee bit
taken aback, sis that all? l expected a bit
of goold, but the goord's to come yet. Hold
hard again, John!" seq he, and he come
down another sharp rap on the horses ribs.
Up flung the horse and out jumps another
coin. kindly tell me-" SEE he, crossing
his arms and looking on indifferently,
kindly tell me-" SEE he, "how much Is
that?'
The crowd took 1t up again and scratched
1t and rubbed 1t and jingled 1t and bit 1t
and SEE they:
otis a half crown, by the toss o. war;"
"Well, middling, middling," says he;

And with that he come down another rap
on the baste's ribs, but 10 and behold you!
though the horse flung ever so high, the
sorra take the coin, or coin came out.
The lord mayor looked round him and
then looked up in the air to see IL the coin
went UP that way and forgot to come down,
but seeing no sign OF it there he turned to
John and, SEE he:
What way did that coin go, ohn?"
Faith" SEE John, seq he, you put me a

his sleeves. I'm afraid that i didn't

not be my fault this time or I will" So
down he comes, such a polthogue on the
poor brute's bones as made Its inside sound
Like a drum, and up higher than ever the
haste flung it's heels, and the lord mayor and
John and all the crowd stood back to watch
for the coin, but good luck to their wit, If
they were watching from that time till this
the dickens receive the coin or coin would

Fright enough" seq the lord mayor, seq
he, ITS as plain as a pike staff that there
must be some mistake here. Don't you
think isn't there some mistake, John?"
FAX" SEE John, II would be very

And then up flung the horse and the mayor
jumped back, and then the mayor held out
his hand and said, "Whisht! Whisht!" and
set up his ears to hear where the coin would
fall; but, movrone, ne'er a coin or coin was
to be heard. The first thing the mayor
heard was a bit of a litter of a laugh, and
then another and another, till the litter went
round all his gintlemen friends. With that
he got black in the face, to find that he had
made such a fool of himself, and to the fog
ging of the horse he falls again, determined
to have 1t out of him If there was a coin at
all in him. And he logged him high up
and low down, and all around, whacking and
striking, and putting and cursing, and the
haste finging and leaping and neighing and
whinnying, till at length ye Almost wouldn't
see the poor animal for blood and foam.

Once upon a time, when pigs was swine,
