Joint of Are THB great presence-chamber oS the French court was crowded to the doors. On a dais at the upper end of the room sat a gorgeously attired man, surrounded by flattering courtiers. Into that brilliant assemblage a poor peasant girl was ushered. Her tanned face was homely, but lighted by unusually large, melancholy eyes. She, was Joan, the peasant's daughter of Domremy. » Her eyes swept the gay court, rested indifferently on the gaudy form In the chair of state, then passed on to a far corner of the room, where she singled out a plainly dressed man who stood unnoticed in a lesser group &£ courtiers. Going op to this man, she knelt before him, saying: "You are Charles, the dauphin (crown prince) of France!" A murmur of amazement ran through the listening crowd. The dauphin raised the peasant girl to her feet The smile of derision that had curled his Hps gave place to a look of awe. Joan of Arc's career had begun. France and England had for centuries been bitter foes. Th$y were forever at war ' with each other. (These wars endured at intervals until the battle of Waterloo, in 1816.) France had been repeatedly beaten by the better-disciplined Islanders. Invasion after Invasion on the part of the English had torn away more and more French territory and had annexed it to England.

So Impressed | was Charles that he gave her an army of about 4,500 men and sent her against Orleans. She had no military knowledge, no education of any sort Yet she had absolute faith in her own Inspiration, and she inspired her soldiers with the same belief. Incidentally, she worked strongly upon the superstitious fears of the English. Clad in mall and carrying a sacred banner, she rode at the head of her fanatical army, captured Orleans, beat the English In battle atfter battle and drove them helterskelter beyond the Loire. Then she returned and assisted at Charles' coronation at Reims. Her double mission thus accomplished, she begged leave to go back to her flocks and the quiet life of htr village. But Charles would not hear of It. He ennobled her and her family and sent her to wrest Paris from the English. In vain she pleaded that she had no further divine call. Charles relied on the fanatic enthusiasm of her soldiers to sweep all before them. 80 she obeyed. But she was henceforth no more than a mere woman. On September 8, 1429, she attacked Paris, but was beaten back and wounded. Her luck--or divine power --was gone. Soon afterward she was captured. Charles, who owed her his kingdom, made no effort to ransom or rescue her. The English tried her as a sorceress and a heretic. Although no crime or deceit could be proven against her, they pronounced her guilty, and on Kay 30, 1481, burned her at the stake. „ Thus died Joan of Arc, holy martyr- Bald, and the bravest, purest patriot West Side Bunco Club Mrs. Caroline Schiessle was hostess to the members of the West Side Bunco club at her home Monday even, ing.
