STOCKTON. CONCLISIOV. Early tbe next morning, the giant appear ed before the palace of Gantaior, where bi armj was all drawn up, ready tu be dieraissed for a short furlough. The royal treasure! was there, with his money-bags, to pay them off, and the soldiers were, just going to stack their spears in the courtyard. 'Halloo''" said the giant: " what s up now?" " Oh ! you see," said tbe young king, " we are going" to have a short peace, and my aien are going home for a while. " That's bad," said Derido, " for I came here to make war on you." "Is that so?" said Gantaior: and then, turning to hm army, he shouted : " Put away those money-logs ' Tentiun battalions ' Shoulder spears' By right flank, wheel' Forward, march'"' And springing on l.i horse, he put himself at the head of hi anny. , " It seems to me that you are in an awl U hurry. This is no place tj fight, but Ikmrn of a splendid battle-ground, and I will ehow you where it is.". So the giant led the way. and Gantal and his whole army went after him, to ti n good place fr battle that be had spoken ul". After marching a long time, Gantaior calh ! U" Halloo there, Derido ' I should think that by this time we had got far enough." " Oh! no," replied tbe giant, "we haven ; got there yet Don't be impatient. It's a, excellent place that I am taking you to, an 1 it's a great deal better to do things right, while we are about it." ' Oh ' yes," said the king, who was very fair in all his dealings. Certainly, I want to have things all right, while we ale abot.t them." , t Sdthey marched on until they came to.' beautiful level plain, and the giant said tl it was the place, and Gantaior agreed than: was a very good place indeed for a batth Then the giant chuse his position, and the king chose his, and then it was night, ai-J tbe giant said they would begin to go to work early in tne moraine, inr iui(; all ready to ngnt t right away, hut the giant of night .battles, and so they HI mivnliw. did not approve all encamped until morning. Early the next dv the young king arce, and the first thing he saw was the giant hard at work carrying great rocks, and piling them up in a line on the place he had cho sen. " Halloo cried wm dome there?' ( iantalor, ' what are t " Mating a fort," said the giant. " 0 brother !" cried the king ; " we don't ' want a fort. It will take ever bo long to build one." " It's all very well lor you folks to talk that way." said Derido. '" There are thou- 1 sands of you, and only one of me. What do you suppose I should do if yon were to get arounJ in my rear ?" " That's so," said the king. "I suppose you must have a fort. But hurry up with it." The giant went to work, and spent tbe ' whole morning piling rocks ; and Gantaior, thinking that Mb intended father-in-law-, mirfat think it tranee that he was not on ' hand on the wedding-day, wrote and sent him a letter, explaining why tbe ceremony ivoald have to be postponed for a little while. After dinner the young king went out to wk how the giant wa coming on. and he found that be wa one half done. " Halloo "" cried he: " bow long are you going to keep me waiting here? 1 thought you'd hedone bv this time." 1 It's very easy to talk," said the giant, " but if you really felt in such a hurry, as you nay you do, you would send some of tjwse lazy aoldiers of yours to help me.'' " That's so," eaid Gantaior. ' Here, you Uav soldiers, every one of you take a sde and help that giant build his fort. "VU neter hive a battle if wr go on this way." So all tbe soldiers took tpades, and they went to work to help the giant, and by night the tort wae done. It was fine, large, high fort, and the spaces between tbe rocks were all nicely filled in with earth and MBOOthed over, and it was good enough for anybody. BV tbe time it was done, night came on, and they all en camjed and slept well till morning. Early the neitday, the young king got up, and saw the giant walking around tbe onbude of his fort. " Why don't you (set in. and let us oe- i gin !" cried Uantalor. " That's a good fort j you'iegot now." "Yes," said Derido. " Wlien it gets a "9oA ditch around it, it will lie as good a ' fortas lwersaw."

VThen Derido got tolerebly near the fort, be saw that it had been attacked, and sup posing that Gantaior would be mad enough when be found It empty, he thought he had better rest a little ; and so he did not reach bis fort until alter dark, when the king and all his forces had gone to bed. llefore daylight the next morning, Ganta ior had his men all in position, and when the giant awoke and stood up, Gantaior shouted to him : " Look out there !

When tbe enthoiam had had somewhat sulwided, Gantaior ordered the seventeen bar rels of flour to be riiled up, end to end, nntil tDey made a high column, and then he got . on tbe top of them, and summoned tho giant to deliver inmeeii up. Xot to-day, if you tilcasc," Miid Derido ; . " I 'te only changed mj base. Now tlien," he cried, " jnst let me pee any ol you fellows ' , coine out of that fort. You're all my pri- . eonens, every mannf you '" And he jumped up, anil drew his eword, and commenced x ath- . iug around the outi-idc of the ditch, chop ping his Bword into the ground, and whirling it oter his head in rach n terrible way, that (iantalor got down off the flour-barrels in a hurry, and the soldiers crouched down be ' hind the walls, as elope as they could get. ' n one of them would have dared to climb 0Ter the walls whilo that terrible giant was hLfthin. liis me:it swurd about in that way. When "Derido got tired of this cxcrciec, he , sat down near the fort and bran throwing great s tones across it, jutt grazing tbe tops of the walls. As all the stones went clear over they hurt nobody, but if any one bad been on top of the walK it would liaie been forthat person. The giant was a good shot with a ttonc or young rock, nnd every nowaijd tlien I,c made one jut-t tcratch the top of tho earth- works, causing the dirt and gravel to fly like liailt-tones. (iantalor awl his army began to think that they had got themselves into a bad box. It was impossible to get over thorn walls (tltere was no entrance-way) while that giant was hurling stone after stone in that style, and all their stores, and provisions, and spare arms were outside, in the camp. The giant amused himself in this way for quite a long time, but at last, while turning 1 round, and reaching hack for a big stone, he he saw a man on horseback riding toward him as fast as he could come. As soon as the man reached Iiini. he lianded Derido a great bag, filled v ith the pieces that were left of the l'riicess's dresses. The moment the giant saw the pieces in I the bag, he sprang to hi feet, jerked out of ins pocaei a great white handkerchief, as big as the mainsail of a ship, and sticking his 6word into it, he waved it round his liead shouting at tbe top of his voice, " I surrender' I surrender !" A , ... 1 Gantaior and Ins men stood up in amaie- midtt, and shouted to the king while Etill rt:-,l- rnivini his white flair over his. hfad .

As lave my provisions ; going home, ine war 6 over. With these words he jumped over the walls, and strode off home as fast as be could go, his white flag etill fluttering over his I shoulder. Gantaior looked after him a few minutes. , and then said : i " mere is a mnauc UJr..

Ah! then you liave wen tne a uk i , replied the miller to tno aston iched apprentie. That's our duke. Standing thus apart from tho gay and bril liant K-ene in which he mo.ed, the duke meditated deeply on the great question of io- ciety.

All that lie. could uo ut the most contcientious and unro- mitting cinirts teemed so little to bridge over the awrful chasm.
