The one oecaxion on Witch the Horse
Nt.t Toond q Msster


Nt Eeoad = Master
Il once knew a fisherman" said the
speaker, who had horse that balke
en ali sorts of occasions. and when he
stopped nothing on earth could move
him tiH he got ready to &C. He might
stop. for instance. going along the shore
With a wagon load OF fish, and then the
fiSheSoau would unhook him anu Lack
the wagon away from him. SO that lac
couldn't lick that IL pieces. aud leave
him standing tbere like statue on The
beach. When tbe horse was ready to
10 =. again. which might he in an hour,
he would hook him up and start on.
Zone day the fisherman came in with
load of FISH i'm his beat. and yOt his
horse and Wagon 10 take the fish
ashore. He drove out in the shonl Wa
ter alongside the boat, loaded the
fish into the wagon. made everything
snug about the boat. and then got into
the wagon TO drive ashore. The horse
stood fast The fisherman knew well
enough what that meant, ard he hauled
- boat ~ alongside the wagon again,
; - tack I'll Tie fish. anchored the boat
safely. and vadc1 ashore, leaving the
horSe and wagon standing there in The
Natcr- The fisherman ea.d nothing
but u WAS low tide. and lie did wonder
iittse NEat iac horse would do when
tie tsde - me IN.
There Was a barroOm ON shore not
f2r SWAY. ard sitting in this harrOoL.
a. IA time were half dozen men. who
NIL knew the horse well. and who made
bets a. TO what he would do: whether
he'd stand there and drown. Iathpr t!4an
give in. or whether he'd come ashore:
ard how long he'd wait befoTv hc start
ell. ard - on.
FINALLY the tide set the wagon afioat
and then 1t took the horse OF his feet.
JIG edged in shore little at that. Till
he'd found his feet again, and then hs.
stood fast once more. But the tide
Kept coming. and il soon had him of
his feet again: il was simply something
that he couldn't resist; and after two
or three more trials. moving in and
hating, and being lifted or his feet,
lie seemed to realize that fact, for the
IseAt time he fioated he kept straight on
wading till he got ashore. and then
lie ran away.
You might have thought that this
experience might have cured him OF
Ia(king. but it didn't; il never had the
slightest effect on him. He Ealked
after that just the same MS ever; but
have always thought that il must have
heen satisfaction to the fisherman
