A SURPRISED SWORDSMAN.
Judge Goffe's Play With Dragging
Fencing Master.

~ fencing master appeared in Bos-
ton one winter III the seventeenth cen
tury and had erected stage on which
he struttcd up and down at certain
hours, dcfying any and all to engage
in sword play with him.
After this had gone on for several
days and the mans boasts had be-
come msuilcrabc. Judge William
Goffc and Edward Whalley, the fa-
nous English political refugees, dis
gniscd themselves in rustic costume
and appeared before the alleged mas
tor Goffc held in one hand cheese
wrapped in napkin, which he used
for shield, and carried a mop which
he had soaked in muddy water as he
passed puddle.
Thus equipped, the Judge mounted
the stage. The fcnccr rallied at him
for his impudcnce, asked him what
business he had there and ordered
him to bcgonc. The judge stood his
ground. Then the gladiator made n
pass at him with his sword to drive
him off. The judge received the
sword in his cheese and held it there
TIL he had drawn the mop over the
professor face and smcarcd him
with mud. Another plunge by the en-
ragged maitrc d'armcs result similarly,
this time the judge poking the mop
into his eyes This operation was re-
pcatcd a third time.
Then the maddcncd fencing master
dropped his ordinary sword and
grabbed up huge broadsword

pastor of Grace Episcopal church,

not only a great pulpit orator, but

have otherwise been rendered. One
