No. 63.—A Feat of Marksmanship That Led to a War for Liberty. N the centre of the market place of Altorf (in the Swiss canton of Uri) stood a pole to whose top a Cap was tied. And every mat who crossed the market place was required by law, under pain of © a Ca. death, to uncover hie head and bow low as he approached the pole en . The Cap wan the Archduke of Austrii ymbol of power. Avstria then, as for centuries later, was the “Bully of Europe.” And Switzerland was under the bully’s grip. In the canton (or county) of Uri a set of new and heavy taxes had aroused the people to rage. To learn who might be the possible leaders of this movement of discontent the Cap had been set up in the Altorf equare. Spies of Gessler, the local Austrian Governor, were on the alert to detect the first refusal to do homage to the symbol. Across the market place walked @ rugged mountaineer, crossbow over bis shoulder, his little ron trotting along at his side. As the mountaineer came to the Cap on the pole he paid no heed to it, but hurried past. A moment tater he was qurrounded by a dozen Austrian soldiers, who ragged him into Gessler’s pi nce, the scared and weeping child clinging ; to bis captured father. An Odd Form ~~ ‘When Gessler learned that the man, who had in- curred the death penalty by refusing to salute the Cap, was William Tell he looked on the prisoner with a new interest. For Tell was the most famous marks- man in all the Uri. It occurred to Gessler to combine sport with torture. So ho offered Tell his life if he | Would perform a certain feat of marksmanship. 1 ‘Tell, who had no especial desire to die, eagerly assented. Geasier then bade him fit an arrow to his bow and, at long range, shoot an apple from the top of his little son's head. It was at best a difficult shot, and the difficulty was increased tenfold by Tell's knowledge that his arrow, if it fey an inch or so too low, would pierce his son's brain. Yet the marksman set the boy in position, placed the apple on his head and bade him stand very still and to, be brave. He levelled his crossbow and shot. The arrow cleft the apple clean in two. The boy was unhurt. A second arrow fell from under Tell's cloak. Gensler asked why he had hidden it there. Tell made answer: \ "To kill you if my son had been harmed.” Gessler revenged himaelf by ordering his guards to row Tell across Lake | Luzerne to the prison on the further shore, saying that though he had prom- feed thé marksman bis life nothing bad been said about his freedom. Tell was bound and tossed bodily into a boat. ae Half way across the lake the boat was wellnigh swamped by a sudden / squall. Gessler, who sat in the stern, ordered Tell to be unbound and bade , him take the tiller, For the mountaineer was as famous a sailor as a | marksman. Tell steered the boat to shore, against a rocky ledge that Hes i | @ at the base of the Arenberg.
