In nv own experience, | have found
among those who seemed the most
reckless and hardened some spot in the
heart that was vulnerable, some chord
that can be touched. Once while
speaking to the convicts in one of the
state prisons, a man sat before me with
face almost demOniac i'll its express
sion it was a face that repealed and
vet attracted me; it was what some
one has called the attraction of re-
pulsion." As he fixed his eye on me,
cold and steely, with the cynical curl
of the lips and a sneer, he almost tas-
cinated me, and | thought of COler-
idge's lines in the Ancient Mariner
He held him with his glittering eye"
Nv wonder was, Who can he be
Evidently a man of large brain, OF

me. The thoughts that flashed through

Jeanne Dare.

France had never-haS never-been
so near eXtirpatiOn. "The people" as
the historian Martin expresses it, "were
no longer bathed in their sweat, but
ground in their blood, debased below
the beasts of the forest, among which
they wander, panic stricken, mutilated,
in quest of an asylum in the wilder
ness" This fervcnt and sympathetic
| girl came at length to see the dcsOlatiOn
of her country her own village was
laid waste and plundcred by maraud-
| ing band. From childhood she had
been familiar with the legend, ''France,
lost through a maid, shall by maid be
saved
The story of her exploits at court,
in camp, in the field, is very familiar
to all the world. A thousand vulgar
fictions obscure and degrade its essen
tial truth. What this untaught girl
did for her country was simply this :
she brought to bear upon the armies of
| France the influence of what our own
| Western preachers would call ''pow-
erful revival of religion From bands
of reckless and dissolute plundcrers,
she made French soldiers orderly, de
cent, moral, and devOut. Hope re-
vived. She made the king believe in
| himself she made the court believe in
the cause. Men of faith saw in her
the expected virgin savior men of
understanding perceived the advantage
to their side of having her thus regard
ed. She may, too las some of her war
riOr comrades testified in later years. }
have really possessed some military
talent, as well as martial ardor and in
spiration. They said of her that she
had good Judgment i'll placing artillery.
Later in her short public career she
showed herself restless, rash, uncon-
trollable +; she made mistakes she in
Cured disasters.
But for many months, during which
France regained a place among the
powers of Europe, she was glorious
presence in the army-a warrior virgin.
in brilliant attire, splendidly equipped,
superbly mounted, nobly attended "a
leader whom all eyes followed with
contiding admiration, as one who had
been their deliverer, and was still their
chief. The lowliness of her origin was
an element in her power over a people
who worshipped every hour a Saviour
who was Graded in a manager. We can
still read over the door of an ancient
inn at Rheims, the Maison Rouge, this
inscription: ''In the year 1929, at the
coronation of Charles VII, in this tav-
ern, then called The Zebra, the father
and mother of Jeanne Dare lodged, at
the expense of the City Council"
Her career could not but he brief
