there remained to them out of tn.
property bequeathed by Jean Roche
the house near the Place Baudet, which
was known as the Hotel de lOurs
And this new Seigneur de fOurs was as
much friend of the Armagnacs as his
predecessor had been of the Burgun
dians. OF this friendship for them he
gave striking proof six years after
his release from prison.
On September s, 1929. the day of the
Nativity of the Virgin, the army of
King Charles made an assault on the
walls of Paris, but was unable to scale
them and the Maid was wounded by
an arrow from one of the trenches.
The kings men, indeed. had not at
tackled very vigorously, for either of his
own volition or by the advice of his
counselors-oh this point no light can
be thrown, as it Is often very difficult
to tell a kings thoughts or whether he
thinks at all-the young monarch,
Charles VII, did not take much pleas
ure in doughty deeds of arms, and in
stead Of trying to force an entrance
into the cities by means of crossbows,
muskets and cannons he had recourse
to more dignified and royal weapons,
such as pardons, amnesties and decrecs
granting relief from taxation
If he made a great show of attacking
a rebellious city. as he did at Troyes
and Paris, 1t was nothing but an empty
threat, for he used his cannon ana
crossbows solely for the purpose Of
drawing the attention of the inhabi-
tants to his heralds while they were
announcing that the king would grant
free pardon to all who would sur
render This ingenious method of
fighting succeeded at Troyes and was
highly commended; it did not succeed
at Paris, and the king and his coun-
/ selors were harshly criticised. Ec-
centric acts of this kind are invariably
! judged according to their success or
failure. What is certain is that the
true KING OF FRANCE VINO Hdu peen Coh-
secrated at Rheims. did not think that
he needed anything but scaling ladders
and artillery in order to bring back ia
its allegiance the capital of his realm.
What he desired most of all was the
good viii and consent of the inhabi-
tants. but he would have been very
foolish if he had fancied that he could
win them over by such tactics as lac
employed. Both at Paris and Troyes
he angered the people by his plots
conspiraees and other underhand de-
vices for obtaining possession Of the
city. AS he met with no success kt
retreated in haste, but he continued tc
cherish the hope that he would event

come from st. Denis to the city with
cattle and fish. No one will notice them
as they pass through the Porte Saint
Denis, and it will be easy for them to
take possession of it. At that moment
the kings soldiers who will be in ann
bush near by, will enter the city iu
large numbers"
Having thus explained his plan,
Jaquet Perdriel asked Jean de Calais
and Guillaume de Loir what they
thought of it.
They replied that it was good plan,
but that 1t would be better If the kings
soldiers entered the city by way of the
Porte Saint-Denls.
on the following Sunday Master
Jean de la Chapelle, who was one of
the leading conspirators, met at the
Fir Cone" inn Renaud Savin and sew
eral other persons. And while they
were taking breakfast they came to
the conclusion that it would be better
to admit the kings soldiers through
the Porte Saint-Denis than any other
gate. Consequently they decided that
Jean de Calais leave Paris and after
unfurling a white flag, this being the
color of the Armagnacs, should go to
the kings soldiers in their ambush
and tell them how they were to con-
duct themselves until they reached the
Porte Saint-Denis. To Guillaume de
Loir was assigned the task Of meeting
them at the Porte Saint-Denis and
leading them into the city. Moreover,
Maitre Morant and several other per-
sons were instructed to remain on

Now would you be willing to make an
affidavit that my wife and 1 told Alex
andre des Mares while he was negoti-
ating about the house, all about the
agreement which we had made with
Master Jean Fleury and in which we
stipulated to pay him eighteen per cent
of all our annual income? If you will
make an affidavit to this effect you
will greatly oblige me and you will do
me great service. Moreover you
need not have the slightest fear that
you will injure any one by doing So
because we have handed over to the
purchaser in cash the full amount of
the mortgage"
Messire Hervy Miz replied that he
would be glad to do so. And on that
same day he took dinner with Jaquet
and his wife in their hotel, and jean
nette said to him:
Messire Hervy, I thank you sincere
ly for your kindness in offering to testi-
fly on our behalf, as my husband has
said you are willing to do"
Jaquet Guillaume went next to WILLIE
Evrard, and in the hotel of a man
named Pierre Fouet he found Jean
nette la Buronne, who was chamber
maid there. He returned with her to
Paris and during the journey he told
her that he wanted her to make an
affidavit similar to the one which Mes
sire Hervy Miz had promised to make
In reply Jeanette la Buronne said:
1T would be a great pity if a nice
family like yours was broken up, and.
of course, 1 will gladly do what you
wish"
And on the following day she called
on the wife of Jaquet Guillaume, who
said to her:
You must go into court and testify
that you heard my husband and myself
tell Alexandra des Mares, while he was
negotiating for our house, all about the
mortgage which we gave Master Jean
Fleury on our entire property"
Jeanette la Buronne replied as she
had replied to Jaquet Guillaume:

Thereupon Jaquet's wife took her to
Messire Hervy Miz, who told her how
she was to testify.
Remember that you are to testify
in this manner" said Jaquets wife tc
the poor chambermaid "You see this

STUDENTS ARE USEFUL
More Than 300 of Them Get to Work
and Beautify the
Grounds.

More than 3C0 students assembled on
the university campus yesterday morn
ing and worked all day in beautifyins
the athletic field. At least 500 feet OF
trench, three and a half feet was dug.
besides several hundred yards of drain
ditch. Also part of the gridi~on was
covered with sod, and the rest covered
with sand TO the depth of three inches.
The work was under the direction Of
Professor Wilson and Coach Maddox.
Because of a refusal on the part OF
the authorities to let sod be removed
from the reserve, the plan of SOdding
the entire field had TO be abandoned
for the present However. the board of
regents have taken the matter up with
the hope Of obtaining the sod. If it is
obtained one school day viii be devoted
to completing the task As il now is
the inside Of the running track is sod
ded TO a width of four feet. Besides
this work, the bleachers We're moved
and placed in more convenient places.
While the boys were at work on the
field the young ladies We're equally busy
in the domestic science department pre-
pairing lunch for the workers. Exactly
at noon the entire working squad re-
tired TO the assembly hall, where they
were served by the girls.
After the dinner a wrestling contest
was INDUCED in for the sport of the
crowd. Several pairs of students We're
selected and compelled to wrestle.
The day was one of continuous
amusement, the height of which was
reached when Professor Richard Ly-
man appeared upon the campus with
white collar This was more than the
workers could bear, and they had al
ready turned several sports into work
lngmen. As Professor Lyman came on
the field the word was given and the
entire body surrounded the professor
and demanded that he remove his collar

and to show fight-but when sturdy

realized that there was but one thing

a spit ball delivery and send in a fast
ball, which is past the batter before he
gets started on his 'run-up-
THAT is what has caused so many
former heavy hitters TO become dis
heartened and declare that nowadays
the batter is lucky if he hits .250 on the
season.
Unlike an ordinary curve ball, the
pitcher cannot be certain of the side
direction the ball viii take as it breaks
downward. The perfect spit bail drops
from a batter's hips to his knees i'm a
forward movement Of perhaps two feet.
The side breaks are determined by
the manner in which the ball leaves
the pitchers hand. If the hand is
turned with the arm facing down and
to one side the break at the plate will
be different than if the bail left the
hand with the palm not turned over so
far. There are a great many angles
from which to deliver the ball and diff
ferent arm motions, but they must be
studied out"
