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.
