THE CHRONICLES OF DOWLAIS. FROM THE "BOOK OF DAYS" OF IOAN AB IORWERTH. OF TWO CABMEN-THE TRUE AND THE FALSE. It came to pass in the 58th year of Queen Victoria, the some in which Ladas defeated all horses save only Isinglass, the aon of Isonomy, and in which Inspec- tor Tollbridge fell sick of a strange sickness, caUed by the learned Waitinginvainforjabezitis," that diver* men from Dowlais were in the country of the children of Tydfil, the daughter of Brychan Brycheiniog. And some of the men looked upon the wine when it was red, and upon the whiskey when it was of the colour of amber, to the end that their speech grew thick,and their legs lost the power to hold them up. And their friends, taking compassion on them, placed them in chariots, and sent them home. And one of the men who had looked upon the whiskey, yea, and had drunk great draughts thereof, was possessed of K wicked spirit, which spake unto him, saying, Thr; menwhodriveth the chariot in which thou sittest knoweth not his business behold, thou thyself cans't drive a chariot better than be, and when he stoppeth on the way, get thee out, and seize the leather rods by which the horse is guided." And the man rowed that he would do as the evil spirit commanded him, but he spake not his thoughts to the charioteer. And it came to pass that after many minutes the charioteer stopped his chariot, and got down upon the road to speak unto a man about divers things that were to occur on the next day. And the man who had par- taken of the amber-coloured strong drink got out of the chariot, and paid certain moneys to the charioteer, saying, That was a fast ride, 0 driver whensoever I go to Merthyr again I will keep mine eye upon thy chariot, and will ride in none other." And the driver said, Thou art a kind man good-night." And they parted, the driver dreaming not that evil days had come upon the land. But the man with the fine tongue was cunning even as a fox, and he Haw the driver go into a secret place. And the evil spirit spake again to him, saying, }*ow. remember thy vow." And the man said, I do," and straightway he lifted himself upon the box, and drave the horse to the north at a great speed. And the driver, when he heard the noise of the wheels of the chariot, ran into the street and blasphemed the man, his eyes, and his soul and followed after the chariot. And the horse was much fatigued after all the work he had done that day, and he could not go as fast as he did in the days of hi? youth. So the man gained upon the horse. And when the horse had come opposite the house of the Great Man of Medicine, who is also chief ruler among the armed men of Dowlais, he stopped for breath, and he would not go another ¡ w'h. And the true driver of the chariot, perceiving this, ran the faster, and when he had climbed upon the chariot he smote the false driver on the ear. And the man fell upon the earth, and heard as he lay the words of the true driver saying, Take that, thou thing accursed lo the spirit moveth me to come down and kick thee all the way to Sheol." And the man waxed wrath, for the blow pained him, and, springing to his feet, he cried with a loud voice saying, "Kick me, will you? Come down here, and I will give thy bones to the birds of the air and thy flesh to the cat's meat man." And the wrath of the true driver was kindled a hundred-fold when he heard these words, and he sprang to the ground crying, I'll have thy blood." But the false driver wanted not for him to come unto him, for while the true driver sprang to the ground, and while he was yet .speaking, behold the false one ran down the road, and came into Market-street. And the angry driver followed after him, but found him not. For the man hid himself in some doorway until the driver grew tired by seeking him. And the driver returned to his chariot, and said unto himself, "Well, it is better that I should not have his blood upon my head."
