While engaged in playing " pitch- trump, " of which the judge was very fond and in fact the only game of cards with which he was acquainted a messenger rushed in announcing that a lady had fallen from her horse and was doubtless much injured. The players left their cards and ran to render assistance, and the game thus broken up was not re- sumed. Some two years later the same parties found themselves together again, and " pitch-trump " was proposed. To the astonishment of all, the judge informe...d them how the score stood when they had so hurriedly left the game, and with the utmost gravity insisted that it be contin- ued from that point ! On a bright sunny morning we sought out the judge's office, only to learn that he had not yet for the day exchanged the pleasures of rural life across the Fontaine for less romantic devotions at the shrine of the stern goddess. Later we were in- formed, upon what seemed credible au- thority, that upon the morning in ques- tion he was intending to sow oats.
