herself ana spring nine miles into the ar
and she remained Up there for three
quarters of an hour, and then came down
again. And when she came down, Donal
was as fresh as when he had started, ana
then Donal fought the Giant again as hard
as ne had fought him before, and every
time Donal was near about beaten, the
mare always sprang with him up into the
sky again and brought him down fresh
And in this way. the fight lasted sll day
long, and when night fell the Giant went
off through the sea, promising to be on
the ground next day.
And Donal threw about him the cloak
OF darkness, and disappeared no one knew
where.
But he was back and had the mare
stabbed and his clothes changed and the
COW at home when his master arrived.
And Doral asked what sort Of day he
had or whether the champion had killed
the Giant.
Then his master commenced to tell
Donal how the champion had run away
from the Giant, and how a handsome
stranger that nobody knew, had come
there on white mare, and had fought
the Giant as no man ever fought pe-
lore, and how when the stranger was
nearly beaten, the mare used to leap nine
miles into the air, and when she came
down the stranger was as fresh as when
he had started, ard that the fight was TO
be renewed the next day again And ne
pressed Donal to take the next day TO
himself and come to the fight
But Donal said what would the likes
Of poor boy like HIM be doing at a
fight for the Kings daughter between the
Giant and the champion. I'm mind me
COW and follow me plow, an you go to
the fight"
Ii was no use in his master trying to
persuade him, so they went TO bed.
And in the morning when the gentle
man was setting out on the fines. horse
he had in the stable and dressed in his
grandest to go to the Gght, Donal dressed
in his worst, went out to mind the cow
and follow the pillow. But If he aid, IT
wasn't long till he crossed the garden
wall again, and went into The second
Giants castle and dressed himself in the
| best silk and satin suit he could find, ana
saddled and bridled the chestnut mare
| that could drink a Tough and drown fre
with it. Then from the third Giants cas-
| lie, he took the cloak of darkness ana
the sword of sharpness, mounted the
! chestnut mare, and away.
Just as he reached the castle ne saw
all the world there like on the day be-
| fore, with the King and the Queen, ana
| the Princess sitting out in front, they
| heard a terrible roar that started the
rocks rolling down the hills, and there
! they saw the Giant of the Far World
coming wading through the sea, Ike on
| the day before and you could see more
of the world between his legs than over
| his head: and when he came on the
| ground he demanded if there was any
! one to fight him.
The champion was staggering up and
down the lawn this day again, and tell
/ ing every one that it was he that had
! come back in new dress and fought the
| Giant the day before; but when he heard
the roar and saw the Giant this day,
he ran like a scared rabbit and hid him
! self.
! The King got up, and asked if there
was anyone to take his daughters part
and fight for her.
There was not one of them to offer
this, but at length Donal laid aside his
cloak of darkness and on his chestnut
mare, rode out and faced the Giant.
The Giant looked at the size of him
and laughed ard then he sprang at Don
al. Donal drew his sword of sharpness
and cut al him, and TO it both of them
! fell
But this day, when the Giant fought
awhile, and found he was not killing Don
al as quickly as he should, he opened
his mouth and began to belch fire out of
! him against Donal, and very soon he
would have withered Donal up, only the
mare turned and ran for the Tough that
was near by. She drank the Tough dry
and then rode against the Giant, and as
| fast as he belehed the fire, she cast the
water against it and drowned it.
And with sword and with fire, the
Giant fought all that day, and with sword
| and with water Donal met him, till the
day was gone, and the Giant hadn't got
| the best of him.
Then the Giant, promising to be on the
ground again next day. went off. and
waded over the 500 to the Far World
Donal drew on him his cloak of dark
ness and appeared, and he was at home
before his master.
When the master arrived, Donal asked
him who had won the fight this day and
the master described to him all about
the brave, handsome young stranger that
had been on the ground this day again,
and how the Giant hadn't been able to
beat him, but had gone off and was TO
come TO meet him on the day after again.
Then he pressed Donal to surely go with
him on the morrow to see the fight,
But Dona said: For what would the
likes of a POOR boy like me be going to
see a fight for Kings daughter between
the giant and the champion? I'll mind
me COW and follow me pillow, and do me
own business"
So there was no use in the master try
ing to persuade Donal, and the next morn
ing the master dressed in his best, 70 lie
off to the fight, and Donal, dressed in his
worst, and with his COW, went out to the
fields. But, as on the other two days,
Donal very soon climbed the garden wall
and went to the castle of the third Giant;
and he dressed himself there in the grand
est suit of silk and satin, with gold and
silver laces that he could find and he took
the cloak of darkness and the sword Cf
sharpness, and saddled and brided the
black mare that could catch the wind be-
fore her, and that the wind behind her
couldn't overtake, and that could run on
