Bnnchnp and the Giant. T a time in the long, long ago, when there were said to be witches, wiz ards, elfins, fairies, dwarfs and giants living in all the lands, there dwelt a poor woman in the mountains whose husband had died leaving her pen niless and with a little son called Bunchup. Now as this poor woman could not get bread for herself and child she went out one night and sold him to a rich old miser for enough to supply her self with food and clothing for a year. After that time she died of starvation in her hut on the mountain side. After the mother's death the old miser became very cruel to little Bunchup. He beat him unmercifully, set hard tasks for him to perform and half starved him be sides. One night just after a severe chastise ment from the old miser little Bunchup lay shiveringand trembling in every limb so fearful was he that the old miser might Ah, ha! fear me not, lad," he went on, seeing that Bunchup trembled with fear at sight and sound of him. "Come, I'm not as bad as I'm big. I try to do more good than bad in the world. I'm in quest of one called Cross-bones, the miser. He robbed a good man with a wife and seven children. This old miser took every coin the good man had. Canst tell me naught of such a one as Cross-bones, the miser, lad?" "I live with him, sir,'' said Bunchup, looking up into the great giant's friendly blue eyes. "I am very, very unhappy, too, for he beats me and half starves me." The giant, to be nearer to Bunchup, took him upon his shoulder, stroking his soft hair with the end of one of his huge thumbs. "Ah lad," he said, gently, when Bunchup had completed his story, "I'll not only avenge the wrong done that poor man over beyond the mountain, but I'll attend to thy case as well." As they neared the hovel they could hear the old miser calling loudly "Where HOW FOUR CHILDREN SPENT THANKSGIVING CAN YOU READ IT? again rise to beat him again. But soon the snoring from the old miaer's room pronounced that he was asleep. Then, cautiously, little Bunchup stole from his bed and slipped out through the door into the starlit night. He went on up the mountain side, aiming to steal a few hours to himself while the old miser slept. Coming to a huge boulder that jutted from the mountain side Bunchup stopped and sat down beneath its shelter. While he sat there he fell asleep from sheer weariness. When he awoke the day was well ad vanced, the sun shining down from over his head. Bunchup rose quickly and stood looking about him. Just as he stood there, uncertain as to what he should do, he heard a heavy step on the mountain side above him. He looked up and, to his wonder and con sternation, saw a giant striding toward him. He was on the point of hiding be neath the boulder again when the giant's great beaming eyes fell upon him. Then it was too late to withdraw from his path. "Hey, there, lad !" cried the giant, in a voice that made the mountain tremble. "What doest thou here! Art lost, son? art thou, thou miserable little beggar? If I lay hands on thee again I'll Hay thee alive." "And mayhap thou shalt have some thing this day to remember, old Cross bones, the miser," said a deep voice. "I've come on an important errand, old Cross-bones," said the giant. "Now, thou old robber and torturer of a little lad, get from its hiding place the leathern bag of gold and silver coins thou didst steal from the good man, his wife and seven children." Trembling in every limb, old Cross bones, the miser, went down on his knees in a corner of the house and with his long claw-like fingers tore away the clay of the floor to the depth of a foot. Then he drew forth a leathern bag full of money. The giant took it and poured the contents into his palm, counting it carefully. "Yes, all here that thou didst take from the good man, but now bring forth thine own hoardings." Again the old miser went to the hole in the corner and drew forth an old metal vessel, which was filled to the brim with coins of gold and silver. The giant took a handful and dropped them into his pocket with the leathern bag, saying,
