JOAN OF ARC.
No. l.

What became of Joan of Arc? Was
she really burned at the stake at Rouen.
as history tells US. or through some
subterfuge was she mysteriously saved?
In spite of the fact that many
historians have painted her last moments
in a graphically descriptive way: have
repeated, as har last words, ''Oh.
Rouen Rouen. must thou be my last
abode?" as she was lead through the
thronged streets-was it really Joan of
Arc? Artists have painted pictures of
her kneeling at the stake with the cruel
fix pressed to her bosom, the flames
mounting all about her. And finally.
it is Told that her ashes were collected
and thrown into the river.
Could there have been any mistake.
and that Joan survived for 4 number of
years after the date named of her exc
cution. May 81. 1851? There are ancient
records that would go to prove that
Joan was not the martyr she has been
pictured in history. or painted on can
vas. In August, 1893. more than eight
years after the date of execution. there
appeared in Orleans woman who
claimed to be Joan of Arc. This may
not seem unusual in view of the many
impostors who no doubt flourished at
that period.
But there is testimony to prove that
in the city Of Metz, Jehan and Pierre de
Lys, Joan's own brothers. met the
claimant in 1896 and recognized her as
their supposedly dead sister. In Orleans
also, where her Etirring exploits were

ing the thrilling siege. as the missing
