BOY carrying the pennoned
n lance of Charles VI, the
~ French King, was awhwar !,
one day in 1892, and let the
weapon slip from his grasp. As an IN
direct result France was devastated and
ruined and was at last capturedSby its
old foes. the English. If the boy lad
been less awkward his country might,
pcrhaps. have been saved and the his
tory of Europe changed.
France and England had for MANY
wears been at war. At one time the
SLACK Prince and his laWless English
veterans had ravagcd hundreds of miles
of French territory and had crushed
FRANCES strongest armies. Then
Charles V Cthe WiseD had become
King of France. He had driven the Eng
Nsh almost wholly out of the land and
had begun to build up his country 5
hsfrered fortunes. Then he died, and
was succeeded by his baby son, Charles

Gunpowder was in its infancy. M

with their mounted and lron-Clad troops
easily overpOwered the hEht-arined
country folks who had dared to rise IN

their hands.
Al last the wise cardinal of Laon
aroused Charles conscience and opened
his eyes to the disasters that were
breaking down his kingdom. The un-
Cles, learning of this, poisoned the car
dinal. But his work was done. Charles
was reused to sense of his duty.
The King threw off his unCleS corrupt
yoke. surrounded himself with wise
CounselOrs (most of whom were always

cited a murderous attack upon Oliver
de ClissOn, chief of Charles advisers.
The assassin fed to Brittany, whose
duke Cbacked by the uncles) refused TO
give him up at Charles order. Charles
raised an army and marched against
Brittany to enforce his authoriy. AS he

crash upon Charles head.

This was the very chance for which
the unCles had longed. They put tn :
King in a barred cell. banished or i'm
prisoned his wise advisers, and seized
the reins of government. Then. held
back by no further fear of reforms,
they entered on a career of graft and
Incompetence that drained Frances life
blood. They oppressed the people;
Quarreled among themselves; they
blundered in craftsmanship.
The happy era of prosperity which
Charles had built up was utterly de-
stroyed.
The poor King lived on for thirty
years in confinement. Playing-cards
are said to have been invented during
this period to amUse his calmer hours)
Now and then he would have a lucid in
terval, just long enough to realize the
wretched condition of his beloved
country without being able to do any
thing to stem the tide of destruction.
The climax came when the English
King, Henry V, attacked the stricken
land, overcame its armies, and made
himself master of France.
A great Kingdoms humiliation was at
last complete. And. in a sense, the
whole chain of disaster may be said to
have started with a boys awkwardness.

and when she came home she did not
want to take off her best dress as her
mother directed. Instead she sulked
, and shut the door of her room tight
while she sat by a window and gazcd
out into the garden. But all at once she
saw that same little girl again and the
dress she had on was just like Amy
except that 1t was all torn and dirty
and didn't look fit for a little girl To
wear. Amy looked down at her dress
and then at the one the little girl had
on and then she at once began TO take
hers off, for she decided that she did
not want her nice dress to get 50 II

After she had changed it for the. nice

laid out she went to her mother and
told her what she had seen. And,

Her mother told her that it would
certainly do no harm to try and that
she ought to obey promptly anyway
Amy decided she would, and for week
after that her mother did not tell her
a single thing to do that she did not
do at once.
One day some time later she was
looking out the window in the late
afternoon when she saw a funny look
went TO the door, and when she got
there she asked the old lady whom she
wished to see and the old lady told her
she wanted to see her mother.
When Mrs. Wilkinson went to the
door and saw that it was the witch she
sent Amy into the sitting-room and
shut the door. Il have come for my

think you have had it as long as you

wants to borrow it." Amy with her
