Text Appearing Before Image:
he had ridden round, instead ofdismounting, he suddenly turned the horses head andgalloped away. Soon after this Helgas father came home and foundhis daughter in tears. He asked what was the matter,and when he heard all that had happened, he rushed offas fast as he could to pursue Sigurd. Now, as Sigurd happened to look behind him he sawthe giant coming after him with great strides, and in allhaste he threw the twig behind him. Immediately such athick wood sprang up at once between him and his enemythat the giant was obliged to run home for an axe withwhich to cut his way through. The next time Sigurd glanced round, the giant was sonear that he almost touched Gullfaxis tail. In an agonyof fear Sigurd turned quickly in his saddle and hit thestone with the stick. No sooner had he done this thana teri-ible hailstorm burst behind, and the giant was killedon the spot. But had Sigurd struck the stone without turninground, the hail would have driven right into his face andkilled him instead.

He galloped on as hard as he could,and on arriving found nine men-servants in the act oftying Queen Ingiborg to a post in the courtyard of thepalace, where they intended to burn her.

The king lay in bed sick with sorrow, and neithereating nor drinking, for he thought that his son had beenkilled by the queen. He could hardly believe his owneyes for joy when he saw the prince, and Sigurd told himall his adventures. After that Prince Sigurd rode back to fetch Helga, anda great feast was made which lasted three days ; and everyone said no bride was ever seen so beautiful as Helga,
