FOXES AND SHEEP.

Once upon a time, 30 long ago that
no one even remembers the year, there
were no foxes In Iceland, but plenty
Of sheep-nice woody sheep living on
every farm in the country.
II happened that a man from Iceland
was obliged to 60 to Finland to spend
an entire winter there In attending to
some business affairs.
Neils was q most attractive young
man and every one liked him. Indeed,
20 very handsome and attractive was
he that a wicked old witch fell quite
in love with him and wanted to marry
him.
Neils, however, had a sweetheart ct
home and had no mind to give her up
for any one. and politely, but firmly.
refused to marry the Finnish witch,
and as soon as springtime came home
he went. in spite OF all the entreaties
of the witch.
OF course she was very. very ugly
and determined to be revenged on
Neils.
Every well. my nne Neils," she said.
shaking her nst after the ship that was
bearing him away. TN see that you
will regret all your days the slight you
have put upon mel
30 the witch made every effort to
think of plan to punish the insensible
Icelander and at last hit upon q most
ingenious and wicked one.
She took two foxes and repeated 30
many charms and incantations over
them that they were completely be-
witched and ready to obey all her COM
mands.
Taking them down to the seashore
she put them on board a ship bound
for Iceland
"Gor' she ordered. ito that land In
which cold hearted men live and de-
stroy the FIRST living thing you meet
and ever after all others Of the same
kindv'
Now the cruel witch was sure the
irst living things the foxes would meet
would be the owners OF the ship walt
Ing at the landing place to meet It
coming In, and she intended that the
foxes should destroy all the people on
the island. Neils himself being among
them.
As II CHANGED. however. a sheep that
had strayed away from the fold had
wandered down to the waterside. and
when the bewitched foxes sprang
ashore the sheep was directly In their
path.
So the poor sheep was sacrificed and
the foxes remaining multiplied.
As for Neils he married his sweet
heart and was very, very happy, but
never again did he leave his own
country.
