huenCe of Red House old ale and smuggled
brandy, the Rev. John Sparrow concocted a
halting screed to be cut in stone over the
door. He said: "Hic, sheTvant o. tn Lord en-
rhyme s we'll ash e devil" This was it,
The devil may come. and the devil may go;
The devil may rave. and the devil may swear:
/ won't care curse for the old noodle crow
While my house stands round as it is, not
square "
The screed duly cut, and Billy settled
down in his cottage to many eels. much drink
and great content.
The third night of the third month of the
third year came in the course of time and
Billy went to sleep, drunk and hiccoughing. 81

night heavy thunderstorm broke over Cantley.
that the lightning played all round BiIIy's
house, and the crash of the thunder ter
rife. But the storm made off to the nOr'east,
StrUmpshiTe way, without disturbing the
drunken man. He woke in the morning in the
sunshine with great thirst and a desire for
small beer. He staggered out of bed across to
his cupboard. where the ask was, and suddenly
stopped. VIVA, blame my old heart alive" he
said 'hare's a cOarner." He looked 'maZed
like" about him. Everything was as usual save
that his house was square, not round.
AS quickly he could ne went out. The
sCreed over the door gone. A black smear

ton but, after a mighty pull at the ale, he
cheered up Why Daniel man, you must sell

Very good, William said the stranger. Now
all you have TO do is this: whenever YOU want
eels. come here alone, and call them near mid
night, as l did They viii come" He repeated
his incantation until Billy knew it. and the river
boiled with ees.
AT midnight" the stranger went on ''on the
third night Of the third month in every third
year from tonight you must kneeI in a corner Of
the house you will build and say:
I'll join the devil on Strumpshire Hill,
I'll dance with the devil round Strumpshire Mill

You must then follow what comes to you

''Au right, bor I swear" said Billy But
that 'ud be a masterpiece TO see me a dancn
round Strumpshire MIL devil no devil"
Billy knew StTumpshire Mill It stood and
still stands the top Of the only decent hill
in the neighborhood. Yarmouth Roads can be
a Norfolk brocken at the beginning of the
century, and Billy was in for a local WapUr-
gisnacht.
The stranger said no more. but backed out
and in half dozen strokes had disappeared
leaving the old man half dazed but jubilant
When his punt was full he padded back to his
hOuseboat, and slept
The next morning he picked out a fine brace
of eels, and went up to see his friend Parsor
night, and held up the two eels as corroborative
evidence.
..Ha! Ha" laughed the parson. Why, Dan
iel, you were drink

Right yew be, bor." said Billy, roaring with
laughter
The parson bought the house for a fishing box
and there the tale ends. Whether the magic
of the incarnation continued history sayeth not
That is all that is known of the way Billy Daniel
cheated the devil
l do not vouch for the veracty of all the de-
tails Of the legend. But I know the cottage is
now square, and there is no screed over the
door. The whole house is dirty that the
mark Of the scaleless fish has merged in the
general blackness
The probability is that the devil got both
Billy and the parson after all, he may have
got his own back in the end

cheat the devil. Hal Hal Eh?"
That I will, bor," said Billy, delighted. tn
cozen Old Nick yet. But don't ye tell nobody
on it, sir, will yep
The parsOn chuckled and promised to keep
the secret
The dodge was successful Night after night
did the well get filed and with fine eels. Billy
grew tired Of babbing and made a large, fine
meshed scoop net, and. after repeating the
charm, he simply shovelled out as many fish as
he wanted. He was drunk all day, but sObered
up at night, when he wanted eels, for he found
the Incarnation too much to get his tongue
round when he was in liquor and the eels would
not come for Interpretations.
He soon saved enough to build a cottage He
leased few acres against his boat from the
lord Of the manor, at rent of four stone of eels
per annum, planted his willows, and engaged a
local builder. A round thatched house was soon
run up under Billy's supervision, without a
corner in it. The old man got the parson to
come to a housewarming, and, under the in
