An Amcount of the Defense
of an American Girl
In Munich
By F A MITCHEL
Copyright by American Press Asso
ciation 1911
One evening in Munich a party of
Americans were sitting at a table in
the Hofbrauhaus ostensibly for test
ing the famous beer of that city but
really to view the different persons
about them The party consisted of a
Mr and Mrs nathorne their son
George aged twenty two their daugh
ter Grace aged twenty and Sir Clive
Oglesby a young British baronet
whom they had met on their travels
At a near table several young German
officers were drinking and chatting in
a very loud tone At a third table
alone was a young man and since he
had no one to talk to his nationality
did not appear He looked however
like either an Englishman or an Amer
ican
But it was not long before this
young man was awakened from his
quiescence by a remark made by one
of the German officers sitting near It
was evident from a flush on his face
that he understood the language In
vAaAoHeS
GENTLEMEN YOU HAVE MADE A MIS
TAKE I
which the military men were convers
ing and what they said displeased him
This is what he heard
Those people over there are Eng
lish
I would like to pigstick one of
them
The girl is very pretty I would
like to kiss her
You might do so and not be called
to account These English dont fight
Nor the Americans
A slight flush overspread the fea
tures of the young man at the third
table when one of the officers said he
would like to kiss Miss Hathorne
Between the sexes especially young
people there are sign expressions that
stand in the place of words Grace
Hathornes eye happened to light on
the man sitting alone at the moment
he flushed It darted from him to the
officers and the two items gave her
a clew They were talking about her
and had excited the indignation of the
young civilian Her father her broth
er and the Britisher all sat unmindful
of what was going on till Grace feel
ing uncomfortable said she was tired
and wished to go to the hotel The
party arose and as they did so one of
the officers who was half drunk threw
her a kiss with the words Goodby
beautiful daughter of Albion
The situation was painfully embar
rassing Every man In the nathorne
party knew that resenting the insult
would bring a challenge from the Ger
man Sir Clive Oglesby grew very red
in the face George Elnthurue started
toward the Germans but his mother
caught the skirt of his coat and beld
him back Mr Hatliorue drew his
daughters hand under his arm and
marched her out of the Hofbrauhaus
The others of the parry tollowed show
ing great irritation
When they had gone the young man
at the third table drew a leather case
from his pocket took out a card re
turnil the case arose and passing over
the few steps between him and the of
ficers laid it down before the one who
had perpetrated the insult It read
Ward Claybourne Kentucky U S A
Gentlemen he said you have
-de a mistake in these people whom
yoj have insulted Only one is Eng

it amounted to somewhai - ccil ih
officers especially tin one v tl le
ceived it lie was a good swordsman
but he knew nothing about the Amer
ican lie had read in some book that
Kentuckians were very expert with a
weapon called the bowie knife but
was not aware that that period had
long passed He knew also that an
apology was due from him But being
an army man he dared not refuse a
challenge His second called on Clay
bourne and said that if an apology
was due It was due to the young lady
and not to him He would therefore
accept the challenge
It so happened that the Hathornes
and Claybourne were stopping at the
same hotel Miss Hathorne Sir Clive
and one or two Americans were
sitting in the lounging room talking
over the disagreeable incident of the
evening when Miss Hathorne saw one
of the officers she had seen at the
Hofbrauhaus come Into the hotel In
a few minutes she saw him go out
accompanied as far as the door by the
young man of the third table There
was a puzzled look on her face for a
few moments then she paled Could
it be that this man who had flushed
when the officers were looking at her
had taken up the matter in her de
fense
After the officers departure she saw
Claybourne go into the writing room
Excusing herself to those with her she
went in there He was sitting at a
desk writing the only person in the
room She stood looking at him
through a very large and very beau
tiful pair of eyes He rose and stood
deferentially
Are you English she asked
American
Would you mind assuring me that
the visit just paid you has nothing to
3o with me
Claybourne was stumped He made
no reply
Is there to be a duel she went on
This is very unfortunate was the
only reply
I forbid you to fight on my ac
ount
It would be impossible for me to
obey your order
I will go to these men and forbid
them as well
She looked so resolute that Clay
bourne was troubled He feared to
be placed in a false position
I see only one possible way out of
it he said I am writing a tele
gram to a friend in Berlin to come
and be my second I will tell him to
say something to the man I have
challenged that may influence him
He doesnt know that I am a student
at Heidelberg a member of a corps
there and that I have vanquished
every man who has been brought
against me
Dont send your telegram This
news can be conveyed without your
Berlin friend My brother
Would not do at all
My father
Worse
Give me the address of this officer
Impossible
Give it to me she repeated im
periously I am the cause of this
quarrel What right have you to take
up my case and ignore me
None replied Claybourne hanging
his head and gave her the address
Without paying any more attention
to him she left the room
Claybourne gave vent to an expres
sion very common among English
speaking people He crammed his
fists down into his trousers pockets
nud strode to and fro
What a fool I have been he said
to himself to receive that fellow
here The whole thing is spoiled I
shall not only be deprived of the
pleasure of punishing him I should
like to cut off his nose but they will
think I gave it away to the girl to in
duce her to break it up What the
dickens am I to do Nothing till 1
hear from her This is a pretty
mess
He remained right where he was
for an hour walking the floor like a
caged tiger Then ho heard wheels
draw up in front of the house the
bang of a carriage door and in a few
moments in came Miss Hathorne
flushed with the effort she had made
For heavens sake he said
What have 3011 done
She handed him a paper addressed
to him It was a written apology for
the insult that had been offered her
How did you get it
Asked for it They at first declin
ed to address it to you but I declined
to accept it unless they did
You have made a mess of it said
Claybourne in an irritated tone for
the moment losing his self control
It would have been a worse mess
for your opponent if I had not inter
fered Do you know what his second
said to him after it was all over I
didnt tell him who you were till then
Well he said Ach Donnerhoff
youre lucky If you had met that
fellow you would have gone about for
the rest of your life without a nose
They say he alwaj s finishes his op
ponents by cutting off their noses
Thats exactly what I intended to
do cried Claybourne passionately
and you have spoiled it all
The girl burst into a laugh
Gradually the comical view of the
situation dawned upon Claybourne and
his face took on an unwilling smile
Miss nathorne thought it the loveliest
smile she had ever seen on a mans
face
You didnt go to them alone did
you he asked
Yes I did Its no time to be prud
ish when a mans nose is at stake
She laughed again So did Clay
bourne
I would like very much to make
your acquaintance said the Ken
tucklan
There was another laugh on the part
of both of them
Well she said since youve taken
my interference so considerately I
think Ill permit you to call -
He called the next morning and his
call lasted during their stay in Mu
nich during their journey with fre
quent stops to London and during a
voyage to America In short the call
has never ended Mr and Mrs Clay
bourne live In the blue grass region
of Kentucky but the husband never
flourishes a bowie knife and has no
desire to cut off peoples noses
