Milan. They were Austrian tourists of high degree, one of them the Countess j Csnega. Being citiceos of thai empire j which bad lost its hold os Italy, it la j not to be expected that they would fee) j any sympathy with the celebration. 'I While passing som? persons who were firing explosives a man set off a pack of firecrackers, several of which snapped a to the uunU'ss dress, burn ing holes io it She was in no mood for such a misfortune and resolved on being revenged oa the Italian who had occasioned it. Calling on a jasifc-eniaB, be shewed him the damage that had been done, pointed to the perpetrator and demanded his arrest that she might recover detuages'-Tbe policeman j Sjrreed to do her bidding If she would j accocof.aiij' them. She consented, and the tare went to the station, which ; happened to be oniy a block away, j The officer la charge suggested that s since the judjre before whom the case would be tried was then holding court and the ladies desired to leave Milan the .text morning they go at once be fore hlra and see If they could not get It disposed of without delay. This pleased the irate countess, and they went to the courtroom. . : Now, a gentleman who had been walking the streets enjoying the cele bration sad witnessed the accident and foiiowed the parties first to the police Btation Ttnd thence to the courtroom. There he listened with marked atten tion to the proceedings. ' The lady claimed that the dress was worth 1,000 lira, or $200. She had- bought It in Milan oniy the day beore and sum moned the merchant who sold It to her to bear witness to the price paid. This established her rhilm. and. as to tuefS man who had burned it he confessed that he hnd done so, bnt accidentally. The Judge ordered him to pay for tiie dress, but he said that he was a work man and without any means whatso ever. " ' lie offered to Mud himself to pay by installments, but the indv. who was reveneefnl rattier than medy. declined to accept (men terms. The Jndge there' upon said that in default of payment and costs the poor fellow must go to Jnil until .he could raise the mon-'y. "Then," said the man. "1 shnli have to remain In Jail, for there in no pos-j sible way in which 1 can raise such a 1 1 . .... . fJ need all I can 'earn to support .myself 1 1 and my family." The judge endeavored to persuade the lady to he lenient, hot she declared that the man could pay if he wouid, and she would make aa compromise. "In that case," said the Judge, "I have no discretion In the matter bat to send the man to jaii." At this point the gentleman who had foiiowed the party stepped forward and said to the j u dee. "I will pay the lady the 1.000 lira she paid for the dress, but in that case it will fee mine, wilt it notr The judge ruled that it would. The lady, whose ire had had time to coal, seemed wiiiinc to npeept the solution, and the stranger, tnfeins ostf a pocket book, handed her the money and pai the costs. Then he said: "Judge. 1 fcmrv " hi this lady is. far I have met her at voMrt in Vienna, though she does not remember me. Her ire at the man who unintention ally burned her dress was occasioned by the fact that our people are today celebrating the expulsion of onr for mer masters, her coontrympn. She has treated the sinfortunate man with great rigor, and 1 propose to be equally ex acting. The dress she wears Is mine, and I demand it Immediately. The countess, somewhat abashed at this speech, said that she wonld de liver the dress as soon as she could go to the hotel and replace it with anoth er one. . , .. . "You refused, said the stranger,1 "to give this man time, and 1 refuse to give you time. I demand my prop erty. The lady looked at the judge to learn if he would support that demand. The judge had already recognized the stranger and with great deference to him said that he had a right to compel the immediate delivery of his prop erty. "What!" exclaimed the countess. "Do you mean to force me . to disrobe here? "Yon showed ao mercy, replied the purchaser, "and I wiil show you none." . "And if I refuse your insolent de mand?" she asked, looking again at the Judge. "I shall send you to jail," replied the latter. There was a knot that oniy the pur chaser could cut. He did it by making the lady ss offer of heC ;1 res for 2,500 lira.
