A MBY STOKY.
TTt lived among tha ntonntains in
Norway. One day he lay on a mmy
bank watching the fleecy clouds, swift
of thought, aa they aped
across the blue ether, and he law them
take on man; strange shapes. Now a
monstrous troll, as the mountain giants
are called in Norse land, would stand out
in bold relief, and again curious beasts
and birds ronld present themselves to
Lis eager eye.
All at once he was afloat in folklore
land, where he was to meet face to face
beings of whom he had heard so much,
fie was bound to visit the castle of the
Hons tain King, the mightiest of trolls.
The air was full of music, and he heard
the birds singing about this king and bis
treasures.
Hans now heard a whizzing in the air,
and there appeared before him the big
gest bird he had ever seen in his life. As
it plunged down beside him, it almost
teemed as though a huge load ol hay had
been dumped on the ground.
If Hans would get on his back, the
bird told him he would bear him to the
Mountain King's castle, but the boy
must hold fast to the feather at the nape
of Bird Dan's neck lest he fall. This
feather, you must know, was as big and
as tall as a half grown spruce tree.
Hans did as he was bid, and away they
went sailing through the air so fast that
the wind whistled after tHem. Presently
they reached some noble grainfielde,
and here Bird Dan pansed to 1! his crop.
It frightened Hans to see how much he
could devour. The boy himself sat down
to partake of the modest lunch he car
lied with him, when he saw a man lying
with his ear close to the ground.
"What are yon doing?" asked Hans.
"Iam listening to the grass," was the
reply, "My ears are so fine I can hear
every blade as it grows. I need less sleep
than a bird, and I can see ahundred miles
try night as well as by day."
"You'd be a useful man to have on my
journey," said Hans. "Will yon go
along?"
"Yes, if Bird Dan will take me, and if
you'll give me some of your ranch."
"My lunch isn't much, butsnchasitis
m gladly share it with yon," said Hans.
Bird Dan consented, and away they
went with the new comrade.
When next they paused, Hans saw a
man walking about with his hand over
his month.
"What is the matter with yon?" cried
Hans.
"I'm the man that has swallowed sev
en summers and 15 winters, and I keep
my hand over my mouth lest they aU
escape at once and make ntter confusion
in the world."
"You'd be a useful comrade," said
Hans. "Will yon join my party?"
The man was willing if he might have
some ranch and if Bird Dan would con
sent. Bo it was quickly arranged for him
to go,
After Bird Dan had pursued his twifl
flight for a time with these three com
rades on his back, Hans asked:
"How far shall we have to go?"
"As far as the east lies from the west,"
was the reply.
"How long will it take ns?"
"As long as it takes the sun to untie
the some journey."
At this moment the man whose eyes
and ears were so sharp cried out:
"I can see into the Mountain King's
castle. There is one who has told him
yon are coming, Hans, and the king it
ready for yon."
"I think I'm afraid," said Hans.
"Don't fear," said the man with the
seven summers and the IB winters. "I'll
help yon."
"We're most there now," said EM
Won

beyond it a castle glowed like the uoon-
dayaan.
'How, cried asm nan, "our soon
friend with the many seasons may let
ont a fiiece of a winter."
The man sent forth a chilling blast
that onickly parted the flames and inaik
Hans shiver.
"G boldly into the castle," now said
Bird Dan to Hans, "and perhaps the
Mountain King will sot be so dangerous
as yon think. His body is bigger and
stronger than yours, but yon have mora
sense than he. Keep your wits about
yon, and if yon need-help call on font
ready helpers."
Bansmade Ins wayo the castle. Be
passed .through room, after room, bat
saw noione. At length he came to the
great hall where the Jong sat at a table
counting bis money.
"Hn-te-tu!" cried the king. "Hew
dare ym enter my castle? Dont yea
know Itwold grind you to powder with
one blow of my band?"
"That I do." cried Hans in a flattering
tone. "But I know yon .wont harm nt
for all that."
"And why, pray?" (thundered the
MountainKing.
"Because I'll make myself so useful to
you," said Hans.
"Ton useful to mef .sneered the
.mountain king.
"Try me," cried Bant.
"Very well," said the mountain king.
"If you're, man enough to .sit in my
nnokehouse and tend to the furnace
while 800 cords of wood are horned m
it, 4 shut harm yon."
Til do it," said Hans, "if I may take
a friend of mine along."
"Sake all yanr friends," was the reply,
guen with an air of assurance,
I have a peep at yoor treasures
If I come ont alive?"
"Aye, truly, tf you come ont sliver
So Hans took the man who had -swallowed
so many winters and summers,
and they entered the smokehouse about
dusk. There was already a scorching
fire in file furnace, and there was no es
cape, for the king bad locked the door.
"You will have te let loose six or seven
winters," said Hans to his friend.
The man did as he was asked, and as
the night wore on the temperature be
came actually chilly. Now a few sum
mers were let out, and the friends slept
comfortably until dawn.
When the king opened the door in the
morning, the man of many seasons blew
a cold blast right in hie face, so that the
royal nose was pinched with frost.
"May I see your treasures now?" asked
Hans.
"First yon must find my son, the child
prince. He is lost, and I mourn for him
night and day," declared the Mountain
King.
"I'll find him," said Hans.
He now sought the man who could see
and hear so far,
"Help me find the Mountain King's
ton," cried Hans.
The man listened and looked, and
last he said:
"He is on the mountain, 100 miles
from here. I can both see him and hear
him cry. Bird Dan must carry us to the
spot."
go they called on Bird Dan and soon
restored the young troll prince to his
father. Now Hans was told he might
ask for his pay.
"Give me," said he, "the rusty sword
that hangs on the wall."
"That yon cannot wield," replied the
Mountain King.
"Yea, I can," said Hans, "for I will
drink of the water of life in the bottle
on yonder shelf."
Bo he got the sword and the refresh
ing draft that gave him strength to wield
it
"Now," cried he, "for a lamp to light
my path, and then I'm off to see the
treasures in the cavern beneath the
castle."
"The lamp yon win find in the cham
ber of light," said the Mountain King,
"but yon will be powerless against the
dragon that guards my treasures."
"We shall see," said Hans, and finding
the lamp he went down into the bowels
of the earth, lighted by its bright glow.
The dragon reared its hideous head at
his approach, but with one blow of bis
sword he severed this from its body.
Just as the Mountain King came to the
door to find ont what was going on, the
sun burst in full glory from behind a
cloud.
Then troll and castle disappeared, and
Hans was left alone with the treasures he
had so faithfully earned. Bird Dan was
quickly summoned, and he bore Hans,
with the treasures and the ready helpers,
to the place where they could be most
useful. Exchange.
