It seem s the German: w a s blessed with some pride, and did not wish- to in cur the stigm a o f a borrower, arid therefore possessed him self o f the im p lem e n t,at a tim e w h e n as he thought, no-one w a s near. Tiijne rolled on, and M r. W --------- r w a n ted the fork ; and enquiring for it, w a s m a d e ac- quainted w ith its Whereabouts by a laborer who bod w itn e s s e lt h e ‘tu y s teriow disdpjtea-raftcdv’ M r. W . w ent to the farm of the G erm an and com m anded him to fork over his property. T h e G erm an denied hav ing the pitchfork, but M r . W . took upon him self the authority lo search, and found the fork ! H a n s ‘ gin in ,’ and acknow ledged the corn ; and. tried to it o ff as a ‘'ta m c o o t choke.” But as M r. W . was not fond of h a v in g 1 c h o k e s ’ o f that kind played upon him, lie gave H a n s to understand that he intended im m ediately to prosecute him for the theft, and put him on the chain gang. A t the mention o f th e chain gang, H a n s turned pale, and significantly scratched his a n c le s ! H e w ept — and W ’s heart Was moved— feelings of pity trium phed over those o f revenge—and he said, “ H a n s , I w ill «ive you the choice o f either 5 0 lashes or the chain gan g .” H a n s w ithout a n y other evidence o f hesita tion than a slight sh r u g o f the shoulders, said he w o u ld take the flogging. W . shouldered his pitchfork!and started home, telling H a n s to com e over in h a lf an hour,'w h en he w o u ld have every th in g ready for;the interesting cerem o n y , . i_. Precisely at the appointed tim e H a n s appeared, and in the presence of several spectators he received the 50 lashes w ith remarkable fortitude: H a n s w a s a cunning man, H e w e n t im mediately before a m a g is trate and prosecuted W^. for an assault w ith intent to; k ill— and W . in h is turn prosecuted Hans fur theft !
