Tom Hickathrift
From a Collection by E. Rhys.
I.oiik h.-fore Willlam the Conqueror
there dwelt a man m the isie nf i:iy
named Thomas llickathrift. a poor labor

to do In one day tbe ordlnary WOlfe of
two He had an only B<>n, whom he
chtfatened Thomas, after hle own name.
The old man put bla BOB 10 guud learnlng.
bul he would take none, for he was noiie
of the wlsest. bul somethlng soft, and
had no docillty at all ln him. Ood call
Ing this good man. the father, to his rest.
! is mother. belnkt tender of Bba, kept him
bj her hard leboi as well as Bhe could;
bul this was no easy matter, for Toni
would slt all day ln the chlmney corner,
lnstead of doing anythlng to help her,
end, although at the time we aro Bpeak
Ing of he was oolj ten yearu old. he
would eat more than four or flve ordlnary
men, and was flve feet and a half ln
helKht and two feet and a half broad
Ilis hand waa more llke a Bhoulder of
niuttoii than a hny's habd, and he was
aliog.-ther llke a little monater; but yet
his Kreat streiigth was not known.
Totn's stiength came to be known in
thla manner. his mother, lt seems, as well
as rilmself, for they llved in the days of

Kow, belng a tidy oid creature, ahe rnu**1

without saving what he wanted lt for; but
the pooi woman. too glad to galn hla help
upon any terms, let him have lt at ome.
Tom, swinglng the rope round his shoul
j der. went to the farmer'a and found him
i wlth two men thrashlng ln a barn. Havlrig
told what he wanted. the farmer aaid he
i mlght take as much as he could carry.
Tom at once took him at his word, and,
' pla< ing tha rope ln a rlght position, rapld
ly made up a bundle rbntainlng at least
I a cartload, tho men Jaeriltg at him all the
j while. Thelr merrlment, however, dld not
j laat long, for Tom flung the enormoua j

and who kllled or made slaves of h-iv

Now, ln the eourae of time, Tom waa

ORAWING MADE EASIER.
Try to make ? ahip from these modela and a pusay from these figures. It
very aimple.
I indle ever his shotildera and walked
BWay with lt without dlffloulty nnd left
them all gaping after him
After thls exploit Tom was no long. r
allowed to be Idle. Kvery one trled to
secure his sorvices, and we are told many
tules ot his mlghty Btrength. On one o<
? aslon havlng beeh offered aa great a
boadla of flrnwood ashe could carry. he
marclKd off with one of the largest trees
In the forest. Tom wae also extremely
fond of etteadrag fairs, and In cadgelllng,
wrcstling <>r throwlng the hammer there
was no one who could compote wlth him.
Me tbougbl notMng of fllnging a huge
hammer into the middle of a rlver
mlle off. and, in fact. perfonned such
extiajfrdlnarv- feats that the folk began
to have a fear of him.
At length a brewer at I.ynn, who re
qufred ? strong, lusty fellow to carry hi?
le. r to th?: Marab and to Wiabeach. after
mu. h persuaslon and promlslng hlm a
now suit ef ilothes and as much as he
llked 10 eat and drlnk, Becured Tom for
hls busineas. The dlftance he Ually trav
blow. Tom was DOW much dlstrrs-.-.l fur
a weapon. as by BOfOe Chaaca ha 'na 1 fm
got one. and he begail to reflect bOW
vvry Uttle his whlji would help him
against h mnnster twelve fe,-t ln heUht
and slx feet round the walOt Hut wblle
tho Klant was gone for his club Tom
bethought himself, and, tiirnlng his mrt
upalde down, adroltly tak.s out the axle
tree, whlch would serve him for a staff,
and. removing a wheel. flts lt to bla arm
lnstead of a shteld-very Kood weapona,
Indeed, of timo of trouble, and worthy of
Tom's wit. When the tnonstor rdtufned
wlth his club he was umazod to s.-c- the
weapons with which Tom hiid aim.-d
himself, hut. utti-rliig a word of detlance,
he hore down upon tiie poor fellOW wlth
BBCb heavy stiokes that it was as mmh
as Tom could do to d.fend himself with
his wheel. Tom, howey.r, at leriKth cut
Ihe glant BUCfe a heavy i,l,.w wlth the
axlotree on th- slde of his head that he
nearb reele/l i*?t. "What:" said Torn.
"have you drunk of my strong beer al
ready?" This inqnlry did no'. aa are may
suppose, molllfy the glant, who laid ? n
his blows so aharply and heavlly thit
Tom waa obllged to cl.-f.-nd himself. B)
and by. not makirur anv imoreeslon On
the wheel. he got almost tlred out, anl
wbb obllged to ask Tom If he would IH
him drlnk a little, and then he would
fight agaln. "No," Baid Tom, "my mother
dld not teach me that wlt; who would be
fo<il then?" The end may readilv ba Imag
ined; Tom havlng beaten the ?lant, cut off
his head and entered the eave, which he
found completely fllled with gold and sil
ver.
The news of thia viotory rapldl'"
spread throughout the countrii, for tha
giant had been a common enemy to the
people about. They made honflres for
loy. and showed their reapocl to Tom
hy e\ery means in their power. A few
dn\s aflerward Tom took poaeeaalOB of
the eave and all the .rlant's treasure.
He pulled down the former nnd built a
niagnifi.ent house on the epoti but as
for the land atolen by the glant, part
of It he gave to the poor f<>r thelr OOIB
mon, merely keeplng enough for himself
and his good old mother, Jane Hi<ka
thrift.
Tom wna now a great man aml a hero
wlth all the country folk. so that when
any one waa ln danger or dlfllciilty lt
waa to Tom Ilicknthrift he must turn
It chanced that about this time many
idle and rebelllous persons drew them
selvea together In and about the Ish- of
Ely, and set themselves to defy the
Klng and all his men.
By thls time, you must know, Tom
Hlckathrift had secured to himself a
truBty frlend and comrade, almost his
equal ln Btrength and courage. fOT
tiiough he was bul a tinker, yet he was
a great and lusty . Now the Bherlff
