1 _Source_.--From the ballad of the “Twa Sisters o' Binnorie.” 2 I have used the longer version in Roberts's _Legendary Ballads_, with one or two touches from Mr. Allingham's shorter and more powerful variant in _The Ballad Book_. 3 A tale is the better for length, a ballad for its curtness. 4 _Parallels_.--The story is clearly that of Grimm's “Singing Bone” (No. 28), where one brother slays the other and buries him under a bush. 5 Years after a shepherd passing by finds a bone under the bush, and, blowing through this, hears the bone denounce the murderer. 6 For numerous variants in Ballads and Folk Tales, see Prof. 7 Child's _English and Scotch Ballads_ (ed. 8 1886), i. 125, 493; iii. 9
