give him a beating, but who objected
to getting his feet Mcknight walk

persons, however, appear to be famil-

told by the peasants in certain districts,
but which, like most OF the unwritten
folklore Of Erin, is fast passing out of
existence:
When Fin MacCOol had completed
the causeway, he caught a glimpse of
his formidable rival in the distance,
which convinced him that the tales be
had heard CONCERNING him were not ex-
aggerated. With much trepidation
Fin strobe rapidly back to Ireland and
confessed to his wife that for the first
time in his life, he feared he was in
imminent danger Of receiving an ignO-
miniOus beating.
The giants wife. who was inordinate-
~ proud Of her husband and of his far
famed prowess, listened silently to his
description Of the mighty Scotch giant.
then said reassuringly;
"Just leave this matter to me, Fin.
acushla, and I'll warrant the Scotch
man win so back over the causeway
quicker than he came and will never
trouble you again"
Fin. who was more frightened than
he cared 10 own. was glad to accept bis
wife's profered assistance and to trust
to her ingenuity to thwart his rival
: There was no time to lose. for the pom
derous footsteps of the Scotchmap were
already heard resounding along th'
causeway. With as much dispatch al
her portliness of person would permit
