JOAN OF ARC BEFORE THE KING.
Her Faith in Her Mission Overcam>
All Obstacles.

All Obstacles.
Her conviction was SO strong that
gained the sympathy OF the poor about
her. To these humble beings, for whom
everything is difficulty and impossible
ity in life, imagination opens a rich
field where all dreams seem credible.
They believed the dream Of Joan, and
lent their aid to the accomplishment Of
her miracle. This help and completely
OF the people she was to find every.
where on her road. The king and the
mobiles accepted her because she served
their purpose; the people believed in
her and lent her strength. Thus from
the first step of her undertaking her
situation was clearly outlined, as it was
to be to the end-to martyrdom. The
poor people gave from their poverty to
buy her a horse and vestments Of war.
and a squire, Jean de Metz, won by
the popular enthusiasm, offered to ac-
company her with few men. They set
out for Chinon, where the court was
assembled.
The way was long and beset with
danger, but Joan upheld the courage Of
her companions. Fear nothing" she
said; 1.-THE Lord God has chosen nv
route; my brothers In paradise guide
me on the way" and in safety they ar
rived at Chinon. There new obstacles
arose; 1t was difficult to obtain access
to the king, jealousy guarded from all
outside influence by his favorite La
Tremodlle. But, as in q fairy tale, doors
were opened, walls fell before her
magic, and one evening the young peas
ant entered the great hall where. among
the cour1ers, disguised in a modest
costume, stood the king, whom she had
never seen. Without hesitation abe
walked straight to the king. and. fall

with 90 much grace and ardor that
Charles VII. was moved.
But imposture, wftchcraft even. wa,
suspected, and before decision was ar
rived at, learned doctors and ecclesias-
tics were called on to examine her and
scrutinize her conscience. To all the
subtleties Of her examiners she an
swered with SO much simplicity. SO
much profundity Of good sense, that
they were COMPOUNDED. There is more

And then Mr.. Oakley pronounced the
blessing.

said Oakley. They're the only people
who can deal with her to any advan-
tage. A big hall-settle like that is only
appropriate for big houses with wide
entrances, such as, according to all re-
ports, that poor, desolate old maid once
lived in. And big houses are mostly
found in big cities.'
Poor thing!' said Mrs. Oakley. And
she helped her husband to some apple
sauce.
While Keziah Penriff went slowly
home to the old red house under the
hill, where Dolly was making tomato
catsup in the kitchen.
"Well, Dorothy" said she, 'I've done
It,"
'Done what, Aunt Kizzy?"
1--WE sold the old hall-settle."
Dolly looked up from the scarlet
steam of the tomatoes to the cool hall
opposite, where the griffin's wooden
eye seemed to leer at her out OF the
shadows, and one carved and shining
claw was poised on the floor, as If about
to take forward step.
"Ch. Aunt Kizzy!" said she.
"Yes. know" sighed the elder wom-
an. But there's got to be an end to
everything. Dolly. I'm a poor woman
now. and can't afford to hold on to lux
urious that are nothing but luxuries."

with spasmodic vigor at the tomatoes,

hundred years old! And it's the last
relic Of the old house on the hill!"
