and bear about this"
So off to the woods he went and right

and then told them how the Kings two
sons-in-law were TO stand to the Well OF
the Worlds End the next day and asked
the mares advice about this.
We'll Jack" says the mare, Il want
you to go with them. Take an old hunt
horse in the Kings stable, an old bony,
skinny animal that is past all work and
put a old, strong saddle on it, and dress
yourself in the most ragged dress you
can get, and join the two men on the
roads, and say that you are going with
them. They will be heartily ashamed OF
you, Jack. and the figure of yours and the
old horse you get. and they will do every
thing to get rid of you. When you come
TO the crossroads one of them viii pro-
pose to go in and have drink, ana then
when you are chatting over your drink
they will propose that the three of you
separate and every one of you take a
road by yourself to go to the Well of the
Worlds End. and all three will meet at
that crossroads again, and whoever is
back first with the bottle of water is TO
be the greatest hero of them all. You
agree to this When they start off their
roads they will not go many miles III
they fill their bottles from Sparwells by
the roadside and hurry back to the meet
ing place, and then to continue on nome
to the King of Scotland and give him
these bottles as bottles or loca from the
Wells of the Worlds End
But you will be before them, and after
YOU have set on your road put on your
wishing cap when you have gone around
the first bend and wish for two bottles oil
Ioca from the wells OF the Worlds End,
and at once you will have them" and
then the mare directed Jack fully all that
he was to do after Jack thanked the mare
and babe goodbye to the mare ana went

in law set out on their grand steeds TO go
to the Wells Of the Worlds End, they
had not gone far when Jack in a ragged
| old suit and sitting on a strong saddle on
| an old white skinny horse joined them
| and told them he, too, was going with
| them for bottle of Ioca. Right heartily
ashamed of Jack. they would do anything
to get rid of him.
BY and by when they came to where
the road parted in three they proposed 10
| have drink and as they set off to drink
| they proposed that each take a road for
| himself and whoever was to be back first
| with a bottle of Ioca would be the greatest
| hero. They agreed and each chose his
| own road and set out
| When Jack went around the first bend
| he put on his wishing cap and wished
| for two bottles OF Ioca from the Wells of
| the Worlds End, and no sooner he wished
| than he had them, and back again he
| came and was not very long, and when
| the other two came riding up surprised
| they we're 10 find Jack there before them.
| They said that Jack had not been TO the
| Wells of the Worlds End and it was no
| Ioca he had with him, but some water
| from the roadside.
NO" said Jack, take care that Is not
your own story"
"An right" said Jack, lust test them;
when the servant comes in with the drinks
| you cut Off his head and then cure him
| with your bottle
But both of them refused to do this. for
| they knew their bottles could not cure
| anything, but, they deied Jack to do 1t.
Very soon l win DO that" said Jack.
So when the servant came in with his
| drinks, Jack drew his sword and dropped
his head off him. ind in a minutes time
with two drops from one of his-bottles Of
Ioca he had the head on again.
Says they to Hookedy -Crookedy, What
will you take for your two bottles?'
Says Jack. II will take the golden balls
of your marriage pledge, and also to al
low me to write something on your backs"
And they agreed to this. They handed
over to Jack the two golden balls that
were their marriage tokens. and, lying
down on the floor. they let Jack write
on their bare backs. and what Jack
wrote on each of them was. This s. an
unlawful married man." Then he gave
them the bottles OF Toca and they brought
them to the king. and Jack returned to
his garden again.
