THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD BOY, slender, graceful, handsome, was retping {n a plunging war horse with all the ease of a trained athlete one day in 1488. Among the spectators who marvelled at the lad's dexterity was Charles VIll,~King of France. The monarch inquired the name of the daring young rider and was told he was Pierre du Terrall, page to the Duke of Savoy. He took the youth into his own service and had him trained fn the arts of knighthood. Thus began the career of the man! who is known to posterity by the title of “Chevaller de Bayard,” a man whose life story {8 as full of romance and wild ad- venture as any dime-novel hero's, and whose glorious example shone forth for centurles-as a model of courage and gentleness to all Europe. France was {n a troubled state at this time, Wars at home and fei abroad were keeping the country in ferment. The winning of a battle was deemed far more {mportant than any advance in progress or culture, War-had made men brutes or vulgar intriguers. Chivalry existed, but in ® fantastic, extravagant fashion that had far more outward semblance true spirit, It was the thin veneer that barely masked an tnner brutality, It: remained for Cheyaller Bayard to show the world theta could be at once a peerless warrior and a high-souled gentleman, ed, Bayard perhaps the first man of his day to merit the term =, ntleman.” | Less worthy men sought to Imitate him, and the result j a, general Improvement, not only {n outward manners, but ‘In genuine | tesy and civilization 3 [ Se By Maurice Ketten.
