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 lng man. but BO atrong that ba was able 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 marry aM f-'ngland. Blept upon atraw. Kow, belng a tidy oid creature, ahe rnu**1 ?fori now and then ha'e a new bed, and ona day. havlng been promlsed a bottle of siraw by a nelghborlng farmer, after much begglng, ah< got her son to tatch i' Tom. however, made her borrow acait lope llrst before h> WOUld budgl- a Btep. 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 ,eiied with the beer w.is upward of twenty mllea, for, altboagh there was a aborter cut through the Marsh, no one durst co that way for fear of a moaatroua glatit. who waa lord of a portlon of tba diatrlcl and who kllled or made slaves of h-iv one he eould lay his hands upon. Now, ln the eourae of time, Tom waa thoroughly tir.-.l of golng BUCh B about way, and. without tdllng hla plana lo any one. he reeolved to pa-i tbro mh the giunt's domaln or los.- his llfe ln the, attempt.

Quoth Tom, "I ha\e a weapon her?- that will make you hnon you are a traltorly rojrue."

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 of the country came to Tom, under tha cover of nlght. full of f-ar BBd tn m m.iiic. aml begged his ald and protection agalnst the rebcls. "?
