The king ordered a big cask of tar and put him in and took him out o And the little gold shoemaker and the king's daughter got married. And I left then. Charlotte Girl named Charlotte', and she went to the mountains one night looking for cattle. It got dark, and she didn't know where to go. She got into a bam, like they used to have in the country. There were people there, and she crept upstairs and lay down. There was some hay there. She felt a hard thing under her. What was under her but a sword. She heard a noise. She looked and saw a light down below. There was seven men and a big ox between them. She knew exactly she was in a robber building. She said to herself, "I am going to defend my? self." They put on a big, big fire, and commence' to roast the ox, hung it above the fire. One of the robbers came and he said, "I'll go upstairs and fix the bed." Soon as he put his head up through the hatch, she give him the sword and throwed the head off him. The other fellows done the same, she cut off the heads of them all. The last came up. She took him in the cheek. He got on a horse and went to the doctor. The doctor said it was done by the hand of a woman. One day he happened to come to Charlotte's father's house. He said to the old man. "Are you good to tell a story?"--"No, but my daughter here, she is a good story-tel? ler." So Charlotte told the story of how she killed those men.

The boy said, "Do you know any way for us to get clear out of this place?" She says, "If you untie me, I'll make a way for us to get way. You get me two or three bags of meat."--"There aren't no bags."--"I'11 put the meat in my skirt. They'll let the hounds out, will hunt you out in a minute." She put the meat in two skirts. They commenced to walk. Every time they heard the dogs coming, they let go a piece of meat. That delayed them. They came to a big brook and big bridge. The meat gave out. She told boy to go into the water so the dogs wouldn't smell their tracks. Down the bank they saw a blind fox. Fox say, "Good morning. Ma'am."--"Good morning, sir." She says, "The dogs are go? ing to be here soon. What shall we do?" Fox said, "Best thing jump on my back, I'll take you clear. Do what I tell you. If you hear noise coming, try at my left ear, something there like a bean, pull it out, and throw right after you." They heard the noise of the dogs.
