So she took it and went away. She
told them If she was not back in q
year and a day from that, then they
would know she was doing well and
making her fortune.
She Travelled away and away on be-
fore her, far further than I could tell
you, and twice as far as you could tell
me. until she came into a strange cOun-
try. and, going up to a little house, she
found an old Hag living in it.
The Hag asked her where she was
going.
She said she was going to push hep
fortune.
Said the Hag: How would you like
to stay here with me, for I want a
EirI?''
What will l have to do?" said she.
You'll have to wash me and dress
me. and sweep the hearth clean. but on
the peril Of your life, never look up the
chimney" said the Hag.
"All right" she agreed to this.
The next day VIXEN the Hag arose she
washed her and dressed her, and when
the Hag went out she swept the hearth
clean and she thought it would be no
harm to have one look up the chimney,
and there what did she see but her own
mothers long leather bag of gold and
silver so she took il down a. once,
and, getting it on her back, started
away for home as fast as she could
run.
But she had not gone far when she
met a horse grazing in a field. and
when he saw her he said; Rub me,
Rub me, for | haven't been rubbed
these seven years
But she only struck him with a stick
she had in her hand and drove him out
of her way.
She did not go much further when
she met a sheep, who said: "Oh, shear

"Oh, change ny tether. Change my

But she flung a stone at him and
went on. Next she c;.ne to lime kiln
and IL said. "Oh. clean me! Clean

it and hurried on.

once on a time. long. long ago, there
was p widow woman who had three
daughters. When their father died
their mother thought they never would
want, for he had left them a long
leather bag filled with gold and silver.
But he was not long dead when an
old Hag came begging TO the house one
day and stole the long leather bag
filled with gold and silver, and. went
away out of the country with it, no
one knew where.
So from that day the widow woman
and her three daughters were poor,
and she had a hard struggle to live and
TO bring up her daughters.
But when they were grown up the
eldest SAID one day: Mother, I'm a
young woman now and it's a shame for
me TO be here doing nothing to help
you or myself Bake me a hammock
and cut me a callop, till l go away to
push my fortune"
The mother baked her a whole ban
mock, and asked her if she would have
half of it with her blessing or the
whole of. it without. She said to give
her the whole hammock without.

WAS KNOCKED DOWN
 BY A TROLLEY CAR
Elisha Marshall, a Painter, Run Over in Twentieth Street
 and Badly Hurt

Elisha Marshall, a white man 55 years old, was struck by loop trolley car near the intersection of Third avenue and Twen- tieth street yesterday, and after being dragged thirty-three feet was found to be horribly bruised and seriously if not fa- tally injured. Motorman L. Aderholt final- ly stopped the car and a crowd gathered and picked up the badly-bruised man and carried him into Patton's drug store, where pr. Peters dressed the wounds. Marshall was sent to St. Vincent's Hospital, where he lies in critical condition.
 Witnesses who saw the unfortunate ac- cident say that Marshall was crossing the track and did not see the loop car. In like manner the motorman failed to see Mr. Marshall The injured man was in such great pain that he did not tell how the ac- cident happened.
 The motorman was arrested and taken to the police station. where he readily made bond.
