Collect cut down the tree and. after

but I wonder where the house is, for
there must be some one near who OWNS
these fine cows" His staff began TO
shake and pull him along. "Ah." thought
he. Il will follow my staff; my mother
said II would guide me-" Collect fol-
lowed his stan. and soon he saw g
large house with a red roof and big
front door. "Goodness!" thought Cold
feet. "a giant must live here. but
guess IL will be all right TO knock ct
the door, for my staff would not take
me where 1 would be harmed" He
knocked gently at the door, but II did
not open, so he knocked louder: chen

and what do you think stood before

who tends them; so you see It's risky to

but he thought Of his poor old mother
at home and how very happy she would
be IL he came home very soon with
enough money 10 keep them. Then he
thought, too, OF what she told him
about his stan. All" he thought, that
will help me if 1 get in trouble; I will
take the Job"
He told the giant he would try if he
would promise TO give him bag OF gold
and nice fat COW for every day OF his
life. This the giant said he would do
but he must first kill the giant aud

So COldfeet went out on the mountain
to tend cows. The cows were lying down
chewing their cud and as Collect was
tired after his long tramp he thought. that
he, too. would lie down under a tree to
rest He was careful to keep his stan in
his hand, and he tried to keep awake for
fear the giant might catch him unaware
He was so tired that he could not keep
his eyes open; as soon as he would open
them and say Now I Will not 20 to
sleep, they would begin TO close again
At last. just as he was going 10 sleep,
he heard a voice, the loudest voice he
had ever heard, roaring, II smell the
blood Of a man from Erin; his liver I
shall eat in my porridge tonight"
"Ha." thought Collect, here is my
man. but I VIII peep around the trees
to see how he looks before I get up to
fight HIM. Coldfeet looked and saw
coming toward him with great strides a
giant about 40 tall as he was. but with
six heads. Never can I kill him, said
Collect TO himself. then he felt his
staff shake In his hand. as much as 10
say, DO not be afraid | will help YOU. -
This gave Collect courage, and he got
up and marched boldly up 10 the giant
and when the giant got close TO him he
waved his staff three times in the air
and then let IL come right down hard
on the top OF one OF the giants heads
then on top of another, until all six had
been smashed.
The giant was well pleased with what
Collect Tad done He had been watch
ing him all the time. although Collect
did not know il. He was sorry TO lose
so good and strong a boy. but he gave
him the bag of gold that he had prom
ised and told him every morning as long
as he lived he would find a nice fat cow
at his gate, and then he bade him good

Every morning at I O'Clock, when the

ing close in shore. within a quarter Of a

would move out TO our day station
hardly able TO resist the temptation TO
let fly a six-pounder at the picturesque
mass OF gray stone, behind which We
almost thought to catch the CLINT OF

Very few of the shots from either the
Gloucester or the Suwanee went far
wide o. the mark
BY experience We had learned the flu
tility of firing our light shells at the
masonry of the fort itself or at the little
railroad bridge. We could hit the fort,
but we could not knock it down; where
as. apparently, we could not even hit the
bridge. At least our shells made no i'm
preston on It even If they did strike It.
Moreover, the Spaniards had been kind
enough TO demolish one end of the
bridge by dynamite a few nights pre-
viously, so there was no object in shoot
ing 1T Il.
We, therefore. confined our attention
to the wrecks of the little tin sheds and
to a low. broad matched roof at the foot
of the fort, under which the garrison
had sought shelter from the sun In hap
pier days. As for attempting TO knock
down the flagstaff IL seemed utter folly.
There was about as much chance of hit
ting the stan itself as OF counting the
steps Of a running centipede, and our
guns were not heavy enough to under
mine the pile of rock and earth around
its base.
The Suwanee, however. in the pride of
possession Of a 5-inch gun and in the
confidence of ignorance. sought TO sweep
poremptorily the fort and all II con
tanned from the sight of man. Her shots
threw up a good deal more dirt than
ours, but the resultant damage was by
no means commensurate with the noise

How Coldfeet Won His Name and His Wealth

A LONG time ago. in ireland. there
a lived a boy whom every one
called Collect, although his
real name was John.
The reason that be was called Cold
feet was because when he was a little
boy he grew so fast that there wasn't
room IN the house for his feet. Poor
things, they had 70 sleep out OF doors.
and in the winter time they would get
very cold and shiver and shake. but IT
didn't make any difference; they Just
had TO stay out in the cold. because the
house was not large enough for John
and his feet. That was the way he
came 10 be called Collect
Could you guess how much Collect
would have 20 eat7 You can imagine
that II must have been n great deal. be-
cause Collect was very big boy. II
took a sheep a. day. besides all the veg

TO get him something to eat, and one
day she Haid 10 him: Now, my son.
