mare and the hay before the bear. jus
like on the other days.

ana hungry you must be-" And forward
he steps and changes the food putting
It as It should he, the hay before the
mare and meat before the bear, and to
it both of them fell.
And when he did this, up speaks the
mare, and Poor Jack" says he, II am
sorry for you This night you VITA be
killed surely and sorry for us, too,
am, for we will be killed as well as you"
20. 0, o." says Jack, says he, that
is terrible. Is there nothing we can do"
only one thing" says the mare.
What is that2" says Jack.
"Its this" says the mare; put that
saddle and bride on me and let's start
off and be away, far, far from this
country, until the Giant comes back, >"
and the saddle and bride Jack had on
the mare, and on her back he got to start
off.
o." says the bear, speaking up. both
OF you are going away to leave me in
for all the trouble"
No" says the mare. we viii not do
that"
Jack" says he cake the chains ana
tie me to the bear"
Jack tied the marc to the bear with
chains that were hanging up and then
the mare started. And then after the
three OF them. the mare and the bear
ana Jack started. and on and on before
them as fast as they could gallop.
After a long time. says the mare:
Jack, look behind you and see what
you viii see"
Jack looked behind, and 90" says
ne L see the Giant of the Hundred
Hills coming like a raging storm. Very
soon he viii be on us and we will all
three be murdered"
Says the mare. says She I'VE will
have a chance yet. Look in my left ear
and see what you see" and in her left
ear Jack looked and saw a little chest
nut Throw it over your left shoulder"
says the mare.
Jack threw it over his left shoulder,
and that minute there was a chestnut
wood ten miles. On and on they went
that day and that night, and the middle
of the next day. Jack" says she. look
behind you and see what you can see."
Jack looked behind him. and co." says
he, II see the Giant of the Hundred Hills
coming tearing after US like a harvest
hurricane"
DO you see anything strange about
him Jack?" says the mare.
Yes" says Jack, says he, there is as
much bushes on the top of his head and
as much fowl stuck about his feet and
legs as will keep him in flesh for years
to come. We are done for this time en-
brely," says poor Jack.
Not yet" says the mare; there is an
other chance. Look into my right ear
and see what you will see."
In the mares right ear Jack looked and
found a drop of water.
Throw it over your left shoulder.
Jack" says the mare land see what will
happen"
Over his left shoulder Jack threw il,
and all at once a Tough sprung up be-
tween them and the Giant that was 1OC
miles every way and 100 miles deep the
other place.
Now" says the mare, "he cannot reach
US until he drinks his way through the
Tough, and very likely he will drink until
he bursts. and then we will be rid of him
altogether"
Jack thanked God and on he went. II
was not long now until he reached the
borders Of Scotland, and coming in there
he saw a great wood.
Now" says the mare and the bear
this wood must be our hiding place"
And what about me?" says Jack.
For you, Jack says she, you must
push on and look for employment The
castle of the King of Scotland Is near
by. and I think you VIII be likely to get
employment there, but first I must change
you into an ugly little hookedy-crookedy
fellow. because The King of Scotland has
three beautiful daughters, and he Wont
take into his service such a handsome
fellow like you, for fear his daughters
would fall in love with you"
Then the mare put her nostrils to Jack
breast and blew his breath out of him
and at last Jack was turned into an ugly
little hookedy -crookedy fellow.
Jack" says the mare, before you 60
look into my left ear and take what you
see there"
Out of the mares left ear Jack took a
little cap.
Jack" says she, that Is a wishing
cap, and every time you put 1t on and
wish to have anything done, II will be
done. Whenever you are IN any trouble,
the mare said, come back to me and l
will do what I can for you, and now
zoodby." So Jack said goodby to the
mare and to the bear and set off.
When he got out of the wood he soon
saw a castle and walked up to It, and
went in by the kitchen. A servant was
employed securing knives. He told her he
wanted employment. She said the King
of Scotland would employ no man in his
house, so he may as we'll push on. But
Jack insisted that he would employ him,
and at length the girl consented to go
and let the King know.
When the girl went away Jack put on
his wishing cap and wished the knives
and forks secured. and all at once the
stack of knives and forks that were piled
10 feet high, was secured as brightly as
new pins, and though The King of Scot
land did not want to employ him when
he found how quickly Jack had secured
all the big stack of knives and forks, he
agreed TO keep him. But first he brought
down his three daughters to see Jack,
until he would find what impression Jack
made upon them. When they came into
