When he was about half-way across he was shocked to see a young woman apparently' about to bang herself on a tree with her obl. His natural instinct prompt- ́ed him to endeavour to prevent ber accomplish. ing her object, but he was restrained by the thought that any dalny might rasult in his fab going bad, which would involve him in loss, doIEW Post Cards and Asiatic Portage be hardened his heart and hastened his steps. He had not gone more than a few hundred yards when he was accosted by a man who in an‘agilated manner asked him if he had sess a woman in the field.

The only course remaining was to | reach the village, and, accordingly he went back to where he had left his load of fish, But he almost collapsed when he found that the fish, too, had vanished, leaving an empty cart. With mingled grief and terror he at length arrived at the village and poured forth his tale of woe to the people. His agite- tion was so genuine that they could bot dis cradit his story, and at. Jength one of them advanced the opinion' that be bad beep bewitched by the old fox, and the explanation was regarded as the only satisfactory, ons is the circumstances. Thus another story hat been added to the folklore of the district.
