Before using this thing, a woman repeats the cry "Wise!" despite her husband's insistence it is "foolish". After the final time it is used, a man opens a door to reveal "a quiet and deserted road". This thing was created by "a very holy man... to show that fate ruled people's lives" and its first owner ended up killing himself. It is thrown onto the fire by Sergeant-Major Morris, who obtained it while abroad in India. This item is last being used to prevent the presumably horribly mutilated Herbert from entering his parents' home. This thing is responsible for Mr. and Mrs. White earning 200 pounds but only through the workplace death of their son. For 10 points, name this title object of a W. W. Jacobs story which grants three wishes, albeit in horrible ways.
