ill to catch the filly. This time, leaving the halter in the house, the man took bit and bridle, and the two managed to get the pretty creature into a corner; but, when they had almost captured her, away she dashed again. By this time, the man was so vexed that he lost his temper; and he who does that, usually loses the game, while he who controls the wrath within, wins. Mad as a flaming fire, he lost his brains also and threw bit and bridle and the whole harness after the fleet animal. Alas! alas! the wife had started to run after the filly and the iron bit struck her on the cheek. It did not hurt, but he had broken his vow. Now came the surprise of his life. It was as if, at one moment, a flash of lightning had made all things bright; and then in another second was inky darkness. He saw this lovely wife, one moment active and fleet as a deer. In another, in the twinkling of an eye, nothing was there. She had vanished. After this, there was a lonely home, empty of its light and cheer. F THEM TOGETHER TRIED THEIR SKILL TO CATCH THE FILLY THIS TIME LEAVING THE HALTER IN THE HOUSE THE MAN TOOK BIT AND BRIDLE AND THE TWO MANAGED TO GET THE PRETTY CREATURE INTO A CORNER BUT WHEN THEY HAD ALMOST CAPTURED HER AWAY SHE DASHED AGAIN BY THIS TIME THE MAN WAS SO VEXED THAT HE LOST HIS TEMPER AND HE WHO DOES THAT USUALLY LOSES THE GAME WHILE HE WHO CONTROLS THE WRATH WITHIN WINS MAD AS A FLAMING FIRE HE LOST HIS BRAINS ALSO AND THREW THE BIT AND BRIDLE AND THE WHOLE HARNESS AFTER THE FLEET ANIMAL ALAS ALAS THE WIFE HAD STARTED TO RUN AFTER THE FILLY AND THE IRON BIT STRUCK HER ON THE CHEEK IT DID NOT HURT THAT HE HAD BROKEN HIS VOW NOW CAME THE SURPRISE OF HIS LIFE IT WAS AS IF AT ONE MOMENT A FLASH OF LIGHTNING HAD MADE ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND THEN IN ANOTHER SECOND WAS INKY DARKNESS HE SAW THIS LOVELY WIFE ONE MOMENT ACTIVE AND FLEET AS A DEER IN ANOTHER IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE NOTHING WAS THERE SHE HAD VANISHED AFTER THIS THERE WAS A LONELY HOME EMPTY OF ITS LIGHT AND CHEER
