Famous Tales and Legends
Walter Scott's Tale
By J. XA.
Copyright by
The chain of French forts from
Verdun, now being so fiercely fought
for, to Nancy, which form' one com
bined system of , defense for French
Lorraine, he in a region famous tn
history and legend. None is more
thrilling than the capture of Nancy
ny the Swiss. This episode and the
destruction of the Burgundian army
are a fine part of Sir Walter Scott's
"Anne of Oeierstein."
Charles the Bold, ruler of Burgundy
and Flanders, duke of seven dukedoms,
count of seventeen earldoms, was at
the summit of Ills eminence. In his
grip he crushed the estates, of Bur
gundy and Flanders. ' He was invad
ing Lorraine and already had added
to his titles that of duke of Lorraine.
He menaced great Louis of France and
boasted openly that he would nail the
hide of . the old fox to a stable door.
He was bargaining with Margaret of
Anjou for the lovely kingdom of Pro
vence, ruled by her mild old father,
Good King Rene, In exchange for.
which he promised to -make war In
England on the house of York and re
establish Margaret's house of Lancas
ter. And with all these affairs on his
hands he turned lightly, as to an ex
cursion, to make war on the Swiss.
In vain did the duke of Oxford, who
was in his camp as Margaret's envoy,
advise him that these rough moun
taineers were bears who might well
ruin all his greater plans. He roared
with fury at the Intimation that his
chivalry of Burgundy, his mailclad
mercenaries from all Europe, and his
new and wonderful fire-spitting can
non might fail to annihilate the Swiss,
who fought on foot with arrows and
mammoth, clumsy, two-handed swords,
He said to the Swiss deputation that
had come to beg for peace :
"A deputation of your most notable
persons who shall meet me on your
frontiers with halters around their
necks "and their swords held by the
points, may learn from me on what
conditions we will grant peace."
"Then farewell, peace, and welcome
war," said the undaunted Swiss dele
gates. "We will meet you on our fron
tiers with our naked swords, but the
hilts, not the points, shall be Jn
grasp. Charles of Burgundy, we bid
you defiance, and declare war against
you in the name of the Confederated
Cantons!" . '
Margaret's nephew, Ferrand de
Vaudemont, whose heritage was the
-dukedom of Lorraine, joined with the
Swiss. Charles laughed when he heard
It "On to Neuchatell" he said. "We
will teach these beggarly peasants a
lesson 1" ,.
At Gwinson, near the great lake of
Neuchafc.d, the beggarly peasants
caught Hurgundy's army in a narrow
pass and so fell on it from all sides
that by nightfall the shining host was
In mortifying flight.
The cheat merely Infuriated Charles.
Before midsummer of the next year he
had ready, a new army of at least sixty
thousand men with one hundred and
fifty places of cannon. They entered
the'ltnd of the Swiss, who had called
on the Free Cities of the Rhine to help
them. At Morat, near Brne, the Bur
.gundlan cannon battered the walls
around Swhis ears; but the artillery,
novel though it was, failed to terrify
them. It plowed great gaps among
them, but before It could fire again
the survivors rushed In with those
clumsy five-foot swords and hewed
mailclad men down as if they were
sap;lngs. Charles himself had to ride
for his life with the steer-horns of
Url, which the Swiss blew as war
trumpets, braying behind him as he
fled. .
Even he was stunned for a time ;
but avlun word came to him that Fer
rand pnri the Swiss had dared to leave
their mountain fastnesses and had
overrun Lorraine, taking the city of
Nancy, he roused himself and laughed
again, gleefully. "They have trapped
themselves I" he cried. "I swear that
I shall destroy them utterly before
two weeks have passed.
Three days before Christmas his
army sat down before Nancy in a
Btrong position. That night there was
a great commotion in the duke's tent
When hl3 officers rushed in, they saw
him standing undressed, with his
sword in his hand. He roared that
strangers had been by his bedside.
Tfie bodyguard was incredulous, for
there were many there who could
swear that they had not closed their
eyes. But he pointed to a table.
Pinned to it with a dagger was a parch
ment signed with three crosses. Ev
eryone present recognized at once
What It was, and even in that armed
camp many of them trembled ; for the
parchment was a summons from the
dreaded Vehm-Gericht, the mysterious,
mighty secret tribunal of Germany,
whose secret, unknown and powerful
Judges exercised a Jurisdiction that
awed etrn emperors.
The summons called on Charles to
appear at a given place and time un
attended and deliver himself to the
officers of the tribunal, who would lead

pearance, he was outlaw and doomed
to death without hearing.
"I know from what quiver this ar
row comes I" said Charles, his lips
white with rage. "It is shot by that
degenerate noble, Albert of Geiersteln.
By St. George of Burgundy I Nothing
Shall save him after such an insult as
this! I will hang him to the highest
steeple in Nancy and his daughter
shall choose the meanest herdboy in
my army for husband !"
Little more than a week later, on
the 1st of January, 1477, in a bitter
dawn of ice and snow, ghere came a
sound like the roar of an avalanche.
The officers rushed to their posts and
were cut down by men who appeared
here, there, everywhere. The artil-
lerlsts manned their guns, and found
that they had been spiked. The Swiss
poured through. A red glare broke
out and lit up the scene. The Burgun
dian camp had been fired at four ends,
When dajubroke the duke of Oxford
found the body of Charles, duke of
Burgundy, lying mired by a waterhole,
and near him, in the disguise of a Bur
guudian man-at-arms, lay the body of
Count Albert of Geiersteln, the avenger
of the Vehra-Gerlcht
"Anne of Oeierstein" has for its
hero and heroine the son of the ex
iled duke of Oxford, the loyal Lan
castrian, and Anne, daughter of the
strange and eccentric count of Gev
erstein (Vulture's Rock), a castle in
the Swiss Alps. The novel is not
one of Scott's great ones, hut it is
worthy and sound; and it possesses
a sentimental interest to his admir
ers because it represents what may
truly be called the sunset of hii
genius. He had his first paralytic
seizure in the year following its
publicaiion.
EYES OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE
Backward Student Rapidly Makes Un
Lost Ground When Astigmat
ism Is Corrected. '
The oldest boy in the class had
been called upon to read and had pro
duced humiliation on the part of his
r,.. who was entertaining a vis
itor. . The boy bent over his book,
studying out the words one by one.
Smaller children read the lesson oft
quickly. Thoroughly despairing of
Tom, for that was the dull boy's name,
the teacher addressed the visitor:
"What would you do with a hopeless
pupil like that?"
"Have his eyes examined," the an
swer came quickly.
"Why, I never had thought of that,"
gasped the teacher, and then with the
thought came various recollections of
Tom as he sat in his seat crouched
down over his book and her sharp ad
monition to sit up straight; of his ut
ter failure to copy problems or sen
tences written on the board ; of his in
ability to learn, which came not from
lack of trying, but from what she had
termed "dumbness."
The teacher visited Tom's father
and mother. After considerable per
suasion they consented to take the boy
to an oculist. Tom was found to be
suffering from astigmatism, which
caused the words on a printed page to
double and dance before his eyes. A
pair of glasses corrected the difficulty,
and Tom returned to school able to
see as well as any normal boy. He is
still handicapped by being two years
behind his grade, by a painful lack of
self-confidence and by a reputation of
dullness. However, all of these handi
caps are being rapidly overcome.
A child who needs glasses needs
them at once and not several years
later. ' To wait until he has grown
older on the plea that he will break
his glasses or outgrow them Is to do
him an Irreparable injury.

A Great Discovery
(BY J. H. WATSON, M. D.)
Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to
a dropsical condition, often caused by
disordered kidneys. Naturally when the
kidneys are deranged the blood is filled
with poisonous waste matter, which set
tles in the foot, ankles and wrists; or
under the eyes in bag-like formations.
As a remedy for those easily recog
nized symptoms of Inflammation caused
by uric acid as scalding urine, back
ache and frequent urination, as well as
sediment In the urine, or if uric acid in
the blood has caused rheumatism, lum
bago, sciatica, gout, It is simply wonder
ful how quickly Anuric acts; the pains
and stiffness rapidly disappear.
Take a glass of hot water before meals
and Anuric to flush the kidneys.
Step into any drug store and ask for
Anuric, many times more potent than
Mthia and fllniinatei ui!t acid as. hot
water melts sugar.
