Count Punch-Your-Nose.

Charles V was great hunter. One day
while partridge shooting, he was accom-
panied by gamekeeper, who Joined in the
sport. The servants of his majesty were
loaded with game, when a partridge rose
under the feet of the two sportsmen Two
shots went off simultaneously. The par
fridge dropped.
"Who killed that birdp" said the king to
the gamekeeper.
II did" was the reply.
"You lie, you scoundrel," said the king,
In a rage.
Thereupon the guard unceremoniously
slogged his majesty. The first movement
of Charles was to try to kill him, but for
tunately his gun was unloaded. Then his
second and more successful effort was to
save the man from the fury of his attend
ants and to send him off to prison, with the
recommendation to prepare for death, re-
marking also that his offense was all the
more atrocious because he could not say
that he really did not lie, inasmuch as it
was doubtful who shot the bird.
II have no doubt about it, SIRE" replied
the prisoner Permit me to examine the
bird"
The king ordered the partridge to be
pTOuSuC W ilILl, HLu dIbSF having exam
ined it the guard affirmed that it was he
who shot it, because it was hit by bullet,
and he had used bullets all day long, while
the king used shot. A further examina-
ton of the dead partridge by the king and
his attendants proved that the gamekeeper
was correct.
The king was sorry, but he nevertheless
sent the prisoner to Madrid, where he was
placed in the cell of offenders condemned
to death. At the last moment the king
promised him pardon if he would repent
but the guard refused Charles ordered
the gatekeeper to be brought into his pres
ence and again asked him if he repented.
''Sire," replied the guard, ''if l had a
thousand lives, and your majesty should
tell me thousand times, without reason,
that lied, thousand times l would
punch your majesty in the nose, and
thousand times would go quietly to exc
cution"
