A SHREWD
WOMAN
By EUNICE BLAICE
Martin Kutupfvr was n inouniainrer j
In the Swiss Alps. He owned n mi.a- i
ber of goats ami made cheese "t ilieir
milk. One day when Maiiiii was |
Climbing up to a considerable h.'iglit I
he came to a man lying <>:i bis hark in i
a dying condition, for lie bad -!i| '.I
and fallen over a cliff. Martin s;aurh I
ed the blood (towing from tl.e w> mid |
and otherwise eared for the sinTeivr
until be died. Then lie went down in ■
the valley to report the mailer.
Martin's wife. Cretcbeu. was a very j
shrewd woman, and ln-fore iloinu any
thing of importance be was iwe.l tocon
suiting ber. So he wen! hoiie.' ;.i: I tol.l
her of Ills cxperlein v and il:ai lie w is j
about to report it that the b.-.ly In- !.
left on the mouutaiii side nilvht !«• j
buried.
"Don't you say anything al».t:t it. |
said Cretchen. "Yon might Ih> a.-rusul ■
of having commitu J a murder."
Martin had thought of that hin.v.'H. j
and this was one reason why In* had
mentioned the matter to his wife, lie
concluded to keep his niouih shut. Inu
there were two things lie did nut think
of. Iu succoring the stranger he had
got some blood on his sleeve. :: ti-l when ;
descending the mountain he had met
Jacob Kirshner going up. Kirslimr j
found the body and in telling t>f his
find mentioned having u:el Keinpfer
comUig down the mountain. This ex
cited some suspicion that Keinpfer had
been the cause of the stranger's death,
and n man was sent to his house to
Investigate. Keinpfer received him.
and the visitor noticed a spot 011 his
shirt sleeve that looked like blood. 1
To make a long story short, Kempfer's
not having reported the strangers'
death led to his undoing, lie was tried
for murder and convicted, to be sen
tenced on a Friday at the hour of
12 noon.
Gretcheu, his wife, was horror stilek
en at the result of the adv; e r ' :■!
given lift ii i-.lir.ail, \vb j attempted to
comfort licr In saving that if be bail
reported tiie matter ho might still have
been convicted. Tlie misfortune was
in tiiulin^ ilie s ..in :er. Uretchen, who,
as has been said, was a woman of
greai shrewdness, set her wits to work
to think of some plau whereby sba
might save her bus Wand.
She went (" AdolpU Swltzer, the bead
man of the canton, and besought him
to save her husband, assuring him that
it was her fault that lie liad been con
victed an.I it was she. if any one, that
should be punished Swltzer replied
that lite verdii t was a matter for the
courts, over v. iiieli lie had no power,
and (Irclchen went away disconsolate.
Disc umrnii-; snoio lime before the
banvini; hen. being still asleep,
dreamed of a plan by which she might
save her hii 'Lan.l. When she awoke,
thoiuli. she <!,d no! consider it likely
tci succeed: still she believed it possi
bie. At any late she determined to
t:«•. 1 i aau, among oilier tilings,
a chroiionitler which had been given
liim by a watchmaker fu CJencva and
which lit- viliioil \cry highly. lie se
euro-! li.c tune cmv a month regularly
ami I'm:; i thai his watch never varied
more than a iVw .seconds. The result
was tha Martin furnished rime for the
whole vailey. The day before the
• sheriff asked a citizen to
go to diet ' en and ;rct the tiuie. that
ho tail hi le sure to execute his pris
oner in on-1 accordance with the sen
teiue « nun gave llie inquirer time
tiftcen minutes behind what was cor
rect. . i it siie had learned that
owing to bad weather the astronomei
in lienors! who observed the sun had
been nnab!*- to do so for several weeks
and had disiourcd a considerable er
ror ia liis chronometers. The sherill
set his w ; :i ia accordance with tlie
time given him
Oi the ia in.: of "i'.c hanging Oretch
en went to the head lean of the can
ton and ashed liiiii top an order for the
body of her hatband Hint she niigiit
give it ! ;:iial. Switzer replied that he
won! I give hci the order after the ex
ecution h d t.ikeu place and not be
fore. Half an hour before 12 she went
to his h ci v with her chronometer,
which she .-et ahead fifteen minutes,
and ■ ' n the h-mis pointed to 12
Swlteer signed the order. Oretehen
had a horse und a curt in waiting 11
short distance from the house, and,
jumping into the eart. she whipped the
horse to a gallop, traversing a mile to
the Jail. On the way she turned the
hands of her clirouometer backward
to correspond with the time she had
given the sheriff. When she reached
him his and her timepieces both mark
ed ten minutes to 12. She held the
head man's order aloft, trying:
"A reprieve, a reprieve!"
The sheriff read the order and, think
ing that the condemned man had been
pardoned, turned him over to his wife.
Then the two jumped Into the cart and
drbve like mad to a railway station a
few miles distant, where they caught
a train bound for the French border.
The misunderstanding that Gretchen
had brought about between the head
man of the canton and the sheriff was
not discovered till an hour after that
fixed for the execution and when the
convii ted man was well on his way to
foreign territory. As soon ns the truth
was known a conference was held by
the authorities, but nothing was ever
done almnt the matter, for when they
learned that Kempfer was in a foreign
land they 'lid not try to get him, and
in time his wife convinced them that
he was an innocent man. Then ho re
turned to his home.
