Three hundred years ago timepieces were rare. There were town clocks in some European cities, but the watch had not yet been developed. Fra i Stoekel, living in tlie square of Stutt gart, where she could see the tower clock by stepping to her door, had a clock of her own nnd used to set it every day by the clock in the tower. Now, at this time the minds of men did not work as quickly or as shrewd ly as they do now. The masses were still superstitious, referring every nat ural event to a supernatural course. Tlie people of Stuttgart were as stupid as any, and it took them as long to get a pro]x>sitlon through their heads as would be required to bore a hole through a millstone with a gimlet. A murder was committed among them—nt least was supposed to have been committed, for the body of the murdered man could not be found. Franz Gobel, a peddler, had stopped all night at the house of John Mertz, anil in the morning Mertz had disappeared. Gobel was caught leaving the house with some money Mertz had left be hind him. Gobel pleaded guilty to taking the money, but denied having In any way injured Gobel. Neverthe less he was arrested and tried before a jury, such system of trial having recently come into use in Stuttgart Tlie fact that Mertz had disappeared and Gobel was going away with his money was quite enough to prove to the Stuttgartlans of that day that Go bel had killed Mertz. They convicted him in short order, and he was sen fenced to be hanged. In Stuttgart was a man named Vent- nor, who possessed a curious combina tion of knowledge. He knew quite ns much law as the attorney of that period—which was nothing at all—anil he knew something of mathematics and astronomy. Gobel sent for him nnd declared on a crucifix that Li> had not murdered Mertz, but had scared him nwny in the middle of the night by playing ghost in order that he might secure his money. The condemned man begged Ventnor to save him. Ventnor was ns ingenious ns the peo ple of Stuttgnrt were stupid. He took what money the prisoner had and, go ing to the keeper of the clock, bribed him to let lifm (Ventnor) Into the tower whenever ho wished to go there. The next dny nt noon, when Frau Stoekel went to her door to look nt the town clock in order to set her own, she found thnt the clock had gain ed twenty minutes. A gain or loss of five or ten minutes would not havts surprised her, but twenty minutes quite took her breath nwny. However, she and every one In Stuttgart had perfect confidence In the town clock, nnd she set her own timepiece back. Tlie next day, finding thnt It had gained anoth er twenty minutes, she set It back ngaln and moved the regulator to cause it to go slower. Nevertheless on tho third dny her clock had gained an hour. Frau Stoekel, convinced that her clock was out of order, tried to get some one to fix it. Several of the best mechanics tried, but the more they tinkered with It the faster it ran. Not withstanding the work done on ft. In a month It had gained in all twenty- four hours. Gobel was to be executed just one month from the dnte of the sentence. • • The day before the Intended hanging Ventnor went before the judge who I hnd sentenced his client and declared thnt the execution would be' illegal. When asked why be asserted and brought two witnesses to prove that be i had turned the town clock back at various times enough to effect the loss of a day. Therefore the date appoint ed for the hanging would be the day after that named in the sentence. The judge was puzzled. Taking a quill pen, he began to make figures. He figured awhile, when a fellow townsman came in, and, having heard the problem as to whether the setting back of the clock hnd lost the town a day, he, too, began to figure. One by one the citizens came in till the room was full of persons driving quill pens with a view to working out the prob lem. At midnight, since there wns no result, the judge Issued a stay for the hnnging, and the next day the figuring went on. At the end of a week the judge sent to the university at Heidelberg for a professor of mathematics nnd astrono my to come to Stuttgart and tell the Stuttgartlans whether Gobel if hanged as sentenced would have been illegally executed—in other words, whether by the setting back of the clock a day had been lost. The professor came nnd told ths burghers that a day had not been lost, but when he attempted to prove bls words he found his listeners-too thick headed to understand him. The Stuttgartlans after the profes sor's departure began to wrangle among themselves, some believing what he had told them, others stead fast in their opinion that a day hnd been lost. But all agreed that a new day should be fixed for the hnnging and a'guard meanwhile placed around the clock tower. From opinions they came to blows, and n fight w .* on when who should come sauntering along, looking like a frightened cur, but the murdered man! He said that the ghost of his grandfather had told him to go away and stay away for a month.
