The teacher visited Toms father

The teacher visited Toms father and mother. After considerable per- suasion they consented to take the boy to an oculist. Tom was found to be suffering from astigmatism, which caused the words on printed page to double and dance before his eyes. A pair of glasses corrected the difficulty. and Tom returned to school able to see as well as any normal boy. He is still handicapped by being two years behind his grade, by painful lack of self-confidence and by reputation of duilness. However, all of these handi- caps are being rapidly overcome.
 A child who needs glasses needs them at once and not several years later To wait until he has grown older on the plea that he will break his glasses or outgrow them is to do him an irreparable injury.

clumsy 1ve-foot swords and hewed mailclad men down as if they were saplings. Charles himself had to ride for his life with the steer-horns of Uri, which the Swiss blew as war trumpets, praying behind him as he fled.
 Even he was stunned for a time {; but when word came to him that Fer rand and the Swiss had dared to leave their mountain fastnesses and had overrun Lorraine, taking the city of Nancy, he reused himself and laughed again, gleefully. "They have trapped themselves! he cried. T swear that l shall destroy them utterly before two weeks have passed.
 Three days before Christmas his army sat down before Nancy in a strong position. That night there was great commotion in the dukes tent When his officers rushed in, they saw him standing undressed, with his sword in his hand. He roared that strangers had been by his bedside.
 The bodyguard was incredulous, for there were many there who could swear that they had not closed their eyes. But he pointed to a table. Pinned to it with dagger was parch- ment signed with three crosses. Ev- eryone present recognized at once what it was, and even in that armed camp many of them trembled; for the parchment was a summons from the dreaded Vehm-G -Gericht, the mysterious, mighty secret tribunal of Germany, whose secret, unknown and powerful judges exercised Jurisdiction that awed even emperors.
 The summons called on Charles to appear at given place and time un~ attended and deliver himself to the officers of the tribunal, who would lead him to the place of trial. Failing ap- pearance, he was outlaw and doomed to death without hearing.
 'I know from what quiver this ar- row comesr" said Charles, his lips white with rage. 'It is shot by that degenerate noble, Albert of Geierstein. By St. George of Burgundy! Nothing shall save him after such an insult as this I will hang him to the highest steeple in Nancy and his daughter shall choose the meanest herdboy in my army for husband P
 Little more than week later on the 1st of January, 1477, in bitter dawn of ice and snow, there came sound like the roar of an avalanche. The officers rushed to their posts and were cut down by men who appeared here, there, everywhere. The artil- lerists manned their guns, and found that they had been spiked. The Swiss poured through, red glare broke out andSlit up the scene. The Burgun- dian camp had been fired at four ends.
 When day broke the duke of Oxford found the body of Charles, duke of Burgundy, lying mired by waterhole, and near him, in the disguise of Bur gundian man-at-arms, lay the body of Count Albert of Geierstein. the avenger of the Vehm-Gericht.

The chain of French forts from Verdun, ,sow being 80 fercely fought for, to Nancy, which form one com- bimed system of defense for French Lorraine, lie in region famous m history and legend. None IS more thrilling than tue capture of Nancy 6y the Swiss. This episode and the destruction of tue Burgundian army are c fine part of Sir Walter Scott's s Anne of Geierstein."
 Charles the Bold, ruler of Burgundy and Flanders, duke of seven dukedoms, count of seventeen earldoms, was at the summit of his eminence. In his grip he crushed the estates of Bur- gundy and Flanders. He was invad- ing Lorraine and already had added to his titles that of duke of Lorraine. He menaced great Louis of France and boasted openly that he would nail the hide of the old fox to stable door. He was bargaining with Margaret of Anjou for the lovely kingdom of Pro- vence, ruled by her mild old father, Good King Rene, in exchange for which he promised to make war in England on the house of York and re- establish Margaret's house of Lancas- ter. And with all these affairs on his hands he turned lightly, as to an ex- , cursion, to make war on the Swiss.
 In vain did the duke Of Oxford, who was in his camp Margaret's envoy, advise him That these rough noun tesne eers-Were bears who might well ruin. all his greater plans. He roared with fury at the intimation that his chivalry of Burgundy, his mailclad mercenaries from all Europe, and his new and wonderful fire-spitting can non might fail to annihilate the Swiss, who fought on foot with arrows and mammoth, clumsy, two-handed swords. He said to the Swiss deputation that had come to beg for peace:
 "A deputation of your most notable persons who shall meet me on your frontiers with halters around their necks and their swords held by the POAhlo, Lhdy lCttlA luc Ou W1dt conditions we will grant peace."
 "Then farewell, peace, and welcome war;" said the undaunted Swiss dele gates. we will meet you on our from tiers with our naked swords, but the hilts, not the points, shall be in our grasp. Charles of Burgundy. we bid you defiance, and declare war against you in the name of the Confederated Cantons"
 Margaret's nephew, Ferrand de Vaudemont, whose heritage was the dukedom of Lorraine, joined with the Swiss. Charles laughed when he heard 1t. "On to Neuchatel!" he said. "We will teach these beggarly peasants a lesson '"
 At Granson, near the great lake of Neuchatel, the beggarly peasants caught Burgundy's army in narrow pass and so fell on 1t from all sides that by nightfall the shining host was In morttfying flight.
 Hhe cheSk merely infuriated Charles. Before midsummer of the next year he had ready new army of at least sixty thousand men with one hundred and fifty pieces of cannon. They entered the land of the Swiss, who had called on the Free Cities of the Rhine to help them. At Morat, near Berne, the Bur- gundian cannon battered the walls around Swiss ears; but the artillery. novel though 1t was. failed to terrify them. It plowed great gaps among them, but before 1t could fire again
