A Just judge.

Just Judge.
There is at least one judge in New
York, and he has rendered a decision
which must be hailed with delight
throughout the country, as establishing
a righteous precedent.
Can a man be legally forced to pay
for cup of coffee which contains a
pestiferous fly? Answer: He cannot So
says the law, as interpreted by the just
judge aforesaid
1t was a highly indignant restaur-
ant proprietor woh appeared in police
court and accused we'll dressed
young man of larceny in failing to pro-
duce a nickel for cup of coffee the
latter had ordered. Questioned by the
magistrate, the grub dispenses admit
ted that a fly had fallen into the cof-
fee after it had been served, but
declared volubly that it wasn't his
fault and that he was not supposed to
protect customers from inquisitive in
sects.
Then the culprit was heard in de-
tense. He alleged that he would have
entered no objection if only one mod
est, we'll behaved fly had used his cof-
fee cup as a swimming pool He as
serted, however that no less than three
had taken dip into the surf at his
expense and that he entered strenuous
objection to maintaining miniature
Coney Island for the benefit of the res
taurant proprietor's insects.
The objection was maintained by the
judge and the accused walked forth
a free man. And the learned and lust
judge has earned the respect of all hon.
est men, except restaurant proprietors

Mr.. Secor asserts that his student

lions to the young lady guests, but
that the men and the older ladies

Responding to my question as to the
reason for this unjust disparity in
prices, he said:
There isn't any reason, except that

 With the utmost respect to Mime. la Comtesse, she could not swear, sir"
 The king sprang to his feet. "Gow he cried.
 They all rose-the countess shaken with unconquerable sobs. But the next moment the king made quick indraw- ing of the breath, like man suddenly pricked by some sharp thing. He drop ped back in his chair. His head fell to meet his hands on the table in front. The hands were palms downward, and his forehead rested on his knuckles.
 There was moments pause. Then Lepage darted from the room, crying: "Dr. Natcheif! Dr. Natchefft Ste movies wiped his brow. stafnitz raised his head, with queer look at the king. and his mouth shaped for a whistle. The countess sobs seemed as though frozen: her whole frame was rigid. The king did not move.
 Natchetf came rushing in. Lepage. who followed closely, shut the door after him. They both went to the king. There was silence while Natcheff made ms examlnation. Tn a couple or nm utes he turned round to them.
 Something has caused his majesty strong agitation?"
 Yes" answered Stenovics.
 "Yes," said Natcheff. He cleared his throat and glanced douhtfuIly at the countess.
 ''WeilI" asked Stenovics.
 Natcheff threw out his hands. shrug- ging his shoulders ever so slightly.
 T regret to say that the effect is the worst possible. His majesty Is dead"
 Silence agsin-a silence strangely broken. Stafnitz sprang across the room with q bound Ike a cats and caught the physician by the shoulder.
 "No!" he said. Not for twenty-four hours yet! His majesty dies tOmor- row!s

 well. we'll, suppose another officer goes to Praslok. Why shouldn't the prince trust the baroness to the care of that officer as readily as to you? You don't-how shall put it-monopo- lize his confidence, colonel"
 stafnitz still wore his easy, con- fdentinl smile as he answered, with an air of innocent slyness: Suppose the officer were Captah. Mistitch? think it's just the job for Captain Hercules"
 Even Stenovics started a little at that. He laid down his cigar and look ed at his friend the colonel for some seconds. Then he looked at Markart. smiling, seeming to ponder. to watch how Markart was taking 1t even to sympathize with Markart on having to consider a rather startling proposal, on having possibly to do some little vio- lence to his feelings. Certainly Cap tain Markart gathered the impression that Stenovics was doubtful how he would stand this somewhat staggering suggestion. At last the general turned

 "I think she was fond of the king" said Markart.

 "It's signed Alexis and King AlS>fs lives till tomorrow. Moreover. If all goes we'll. King Alexis lives again for many years after that"

 Stafnitz looked him full in the face. "No," he said. "The prince had better not still be drilling his men at volseni nor waiting for his guns.-

window. Both looked up for moment as Markart entered. but neither spoke. Markart found a third chair and sat down. Nobody said anything. The three were as silent and almost as still as the fourth on the bed. A low mur- mur of voices came from the next room. The words were indstinguish- able. So passed full half an hour. A strange and terrible half hour it seem ed to Markart. .-&
 The door opened, and Stafnitz called Natchef. The physician rose and fol lowed him. Another twenty minutes went by. still in silence. but once Mark art. looking for a moment at his mute companion, saw a tear rolling slowly down Lepage's wrinkled cheek. Le- page saw him looking and broke the silence:

The king knew his wife. too, and he was profoundly affected-convulsed to the depths of his mind. The thing sounded true It had horrible sound of truth. He craved the countess de- nial, solemn as 1t could be framed. That would restore the confidence which was crumbling from beneath his tormented. bewildered mind.
 Gan anybody object to that" he asked slowly, If I Say 1t will relieve my mindT He smiled apologetically. 'T'm sick man, you know. If 1t will relieve sick mans mind, banish a sick mans fancies? If I shall sleep a little better and old Lepage here be ashamed of hlmself?"
 None of them dared to object. None could plausibly unless the countess her self, and she dared not. In his present mood the king would not accept the plea of her dignity. Against 1t he would set the indulgence due to sick mans rebellious fancies. Could she for her dignity's sake deny him what would make him sleep?
 He looked at her. Something iri her face appeared to strike him as strange. A sort of quiver ran through his body. He seemed to pull himself together with an effort. As he spoke to her his voice sounded faint and ever so slight ly blurred.
 You've heard Lepage, and know that you'll speak the truth to me on your oath--the truth about the thing nearest to the heart of dying man nearest to the heart of your dying hus- band. You wouldn't lie on oath to dying man, your husband and your king, for am dying. You have years still, but they'll end. You believe that some day you and will stand together before the throne. As you shall an- swer to heaven in that day, is this true? Was it in your heart and in the heart of these men to keep my son, the heir of my house, from his thronef Is it true? As you shall answer to God for your soul, is there any truth in it?"
 The woman went gray in the face a sheet of gray paper seemed drawn over her cheeks. Her, narrow lips showed pale red streak across it. Her prayers-those laborious, ingen- ious, plausible prayers-helped her nothing here.
 T protest! At this time, sir! The countess will be upsetw
 Stenovics had been driven to this. He feared greatly. Not soul needed him. Every eye now was on the wo- man. She struggled-she struggled to lie. She struggled to do what she be lieved would bring perdition to her soul. Her voice was forced and harsh when at last she broke silence.
 "As shall answer in that day. "As you shall answer to God for your soul in that day. the king repeated. She gave wild glance at Stenovics, seeking succor. finding no refuge Her eyes came back to the kings face.
