MEDIEVAL JUSTICE By ETHEL HOLMES In the yenr of our Lord 1370 in the town of Strasburg a man who bad for a long whllo'been thinking of the di vision of time into hours constructed one of the first clocks that was ever made. What led him to do this was that while the people could keep the tlight of days by cutting a notch on a stick for every day, they could hnve no record of the parts of days except by the sun. This liian who Invented the clock his name is lost, so wo will call him Gustnv set It up in the tower of the church, nnd the people could go to bed nnd get up by its striking the hour. Some of them considered him nn nugel who had been sent from heaven for this very purpose. Straightway they committed to bis care the town calen dar, throwing nwny the notched sticks, and after that it was only he who could tell them when anything that bad been appointed for a certain day was due. One day a young man Martin Stel ger went to Gustnv and said to him: "Gustuv, I love Katrinn, the daugh ter of Fran Tinkborner, nnd Knturina loves mo. But her mother Is forcing her to marry old Carl Oberman, who is rich or supposed to be. I happen to know a man from whom Oberman stole a valunble Jewel. This, man's name is Kneift, and ho has since been looking all through Germany for tho man who robbed him. Kneift Is now in Munich. If 1 go there I can tell him where Oberman Is; he will come here; It will bo known that Oberman Is n thief and Katrlna will bo saved from marrying him." "Well, then, why do you not go nt once?" "Katrlna In order to gain time has promised her mother that she will marry Obetiiiiin in seven days from to day, binding herself before the Judge to do so. I cannot go to Munich, And Kneift and bring him back here before the day set for the wedding. Can you not so disarrange tho calendar so that a few dnys shall be gained?" "But tho people trust mo implicitly In the matter of the flight of time." "What difference will a few dnys mnke to them?" Gustnv, who wns a good fellow, was persuaded and told Stelger that ho would do what he could for him, and Stcigcr set out for Munich to And Kneift and inform him concerning Ob- erman's present residence. While Martin was gone the clock became very irregular. One morning it called the peopiu from their beds before tho sun was up and the next struck the hour for their rising when it was high In the heavens. Gustav said that he feared the clock was bewitched. Meanwhile Fran Tinkborner was keeping the passage of tho dnys on her own account by cutting a notch on a stick for every dny that passed. The day before the one set for the wedding she Informed her daughter that she must be mnrried tlie next day. Katrlna declared that the time had not yet passed within three dnys and refused to comply, whereupon her mother sum moned her before the Judge, submit ting to him tho agreement between them and bringing with her tho notch ed stick to show that tho time would bo up on the morrow. Tho judge look ed nt it and counted tho notches, but the evidence of one interested in the enso keeping the record did not coin cide with liLs great Judicial ideas, nnd be sent for Gustnv. "Gustnv," he snid, "what day of the month will tomorrow bo?" "Tho 12th, your honor." "But Fran Tinkborner says sho hns kept a record and tomorrow will bo the 14th." "My record by the clock tallies with that," replied Gustnv, "but tho clock hns recently been bewitched nnd hns lost two dnys." "Who has bewitched it?" Gustnv approached the Judgo and whispered something in his ear. "What Is your nge, Frnu Tinkborn er?" asked tho Judge. "I am forty-eight." Tne Judge stnrted. "Are you sure?" ho naked. "Yes, your honor; I am Just forty eight" Tho Judge dismissed the matter be fore him nnd ordered Frnu Tinkborner Into custody on a chnrgo of having be witched tho town clock. Gustnv hnd whispered to him tlint tho clock hav lqg gained exactly forty-eight hours, thlH indicated that tho person who had bewitched It was forty-eight yenrs old. When Frnu Tlnkhorner admitted that Mio was that age it was evident she had bewitched the clock in order to force her dnughter to marry old Ober man nhend of time. So Frnu Tlnkhorner wns thrown intt prison. Two days Inter Mnrtin Stelgei returned from Munich with Kneift who went beforo tho Judge nnd no cused Obermuii of hnvlng stolen a jew el from him. Obermnn wns arrested and the Jewel found In his effects. But there wns nothing to prove that tho Jewel belonged to Kneift or that Oberman had stolen it. Tho lonrned judgo summed up the caso thus: It was plnln that tho frnu hnd bewitched the clock for tho pur poso of forcing Katrlna to wed Ober man. Sho was sentenced to bo burned nt tho stake, and Obermnn wns sen tenced to be beheaded. ( But Mnrtin and Katrinn, hnvlng at tained their ends, got up n petition to tho Judge for pardons, nnd, ns he grant ed them, Justice was defeated.
