5* FOR seventy years defeat after defeat had followed the French arms; until, in the year 1429, France was on the verge of becoming an English province.

6* CHARLES VII, King of France - deserted by his most powerful nobles - was opposed by his own cousin the Duke of Burgundy, whose wealth and soldiers were at England's call.

7* PARIS, itself, was in English hands; and Charles, the weakling King, ruled a shabby, debt-ridden little court - unhonored and uncrowned.

8* AT this time - when the soul of France was slowly dying - there dwelt in the little village of Domremy, a simple peasant girl, the daughter of Jacques d'Arc.

9* HER name was Joan, and her life that of the sturdy country maiden as she worked at the hearth or in the pasture.

10* JOAN OF ARC

11* SHE gave her all for France - and her reward was martyrdom.

12* JOAN OF ARC is not dead. She can never die - and in the war-torn land she loved so well, her Spirit fights today.

13      1916 AN ENGLISH TRENCH SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE

14  I wonder what queer old chap carried this sword to battle in the old days!

15  We want a volunteer to attempt the destruction of Enemy Trench No. 2 with this bomb.

16  I don't want an answer 'till midnight. Think it over - the man who goes will not come back.

17 MEMORY

18  The time has come for thee to expiate thy sin against me.

19 INTO THE PAST

20 The Shabby Court of Charles, Rightful King of France.

21  Sire - the butcher hath refused more partridges until the last are paid for!

22 THE DESERTER.

23  Why should I not desert when the King, himself, is preparing to flee from France!

24  No sword once drawn for France - shall be thrown down!

25* FEARING That the People - Out of Pity - May Rally to the Standard of a Ragged King, England and Burgundy Employ "The Spider" to Pamper and Amuse Charles - While Their Armies Lay Siege to Orleans.

26  I have come far to pledge thee my love, Sire, and my purse.

27  Sire - my castle at Chinon awaits thy Royal Presence.

28 Eric Trent - In Search of Cattle For the Duke of Burgundy - Raids the Village of Domremy.

29  Flee - the Burgundians are coming!

30  One of must stay to parley with them, that the others may seek safety in the woods.

31  Englishman - I pray thee in the name of God, turn back!

32  What wouldst thou with me, Englishman?

33  Return to camp with thy loot: I'll follow thee anon.

34  Now, Englishman, wilt thou go?

35 Go bid our men return.

36  They daughter, Joan, is safe: I hid her in the loft while I put them all to rout!

37 When the Daisies Bloomed.

38  I'll name the daisy for the sweetest maid I know - and ask it if she loves me.

39 She loves me!

40  Bid thy Englishman depart - or I will tell them all thou hast concealed an enemy of France!

41  Prepare thyself Joan - for thou art to save France and the King.

42  What ails thee, Joan - go about thy work!

43      Knowing That Her Parents Would Defeat Her Mission, Joan Prepares Secretly to Obey the Command of Her "Voices".

44  Uncle Laxart, wilt thou brave my father's anger - - and take me to the Governor?

45  AT THE CASTLE OF ROBERT DE BEAUDRICOURT, THE GOVERNOR

46  My Lord Governor, I have come to thee - for it is the will of God that thou shouldst send me to the King!

47  If thou comest from God, show me what answer he would make to this!

48  I am convinced and will send thee to thy King.

49 Charles, Caught in the "Spider's" Golden Web, Idles at Chinon.

50  Sire - our soldiers are deserting to the Burgundian camp, because we cannot clothe or feed them!

51  I regret, Sire, that my purse cannot stretch to this necessity.

52 The King at Last.

53  I bring thee from the Governor a peasant wench, who claims she is sent from God to lead thy soldiers.

54  Test this peasant wench: if she is so clever, let her find thee among the crowd!

55 THE RUSE.

56  Thou art the King - none other!

57  Gentle Prince, I am Joan the Maid, sent by God to lead thy army against the English and crown thee King of France!

58* SO Greatly Did the French Fear the English - that Eric Trent Marched Almost Unopposed into the Strongest Fortress Outside the Walls of Orleans.

59 Sire, I see - I see - -

60  Give me soldiers, Sire, before it is too late - for even now the English take the fortress of The Towers!

61  This is black magic, the girl may have come from the Devil!

62  Question this maid, and find out if she be from Heaven or Hell!

63 THE HERALD OF ENGLAND

64  Art thou Charles, who calls himself King of France?

65  Our merciful English Sovereign - rightful King of France - generously offers thee peace, providing thou wilt relinquish thy claim to the throne. Otherwise, be it known to thee that thy head shall pay for thy folly!

66  Take this answer to thy master. Tell him if every sword in France were broken - if every man in France were dead - there is still the God of Justice to free us from thy yoke!

67  The English army is at the gates of Orleans!

68  Men of France - will ye follow me to battle?

69  If ye will not follow me, will ye follow the Standard of France?

70  Are the Nobles of France to follow a peasant wench?

71  Joan of Arc - I create thee Commander of the Armies of France!

72  Joan of Arc - I'll follow thee to Victory, or to Hell!

73 "The Spider" Summons L'Oiseleur - the Mad Monk.

74  Follow this witch, and let me hear from thee concerning her.

75* The Blessing of the Standard.

76  The Maid warns thee to depart from Orleans - or she will wage such war against ye as has never been known in France!

77 This answer will I make to thine impertinent milkmaid!

78  I knew thou wouldst have need of me, so I came to thee!

79 The Call to Arms.

80  Lady, behold thy answer from the English!

81 The Departure For Orleans.

82 THE BESIEGED CITY OF ORLEANS

83  To the gates - to the gates! Help is coming!

84  A strange maiden clad in armor rides through the gates of Orleans!

85  Let the sheep enter the shambles - the butcher's work will be easier!

86  Fear not. I bring ye better help than has ever come to any town or captain - the help of the King of Heaven!

87 Joan Summons the English to Surrender.

88  This petticoat general bids us flee from France - lest she carve us with her sword!

89  Milkmaid of France - get thee hence, or we'll capture thee and burn thee as a witch!

90   AT DAYBREAK Certain Jealous French Captains - Disobeying Joan's Orders - Attack and are Defeated by   the English.

91  Somewhere French blood is flowing!

92  The French are beaten at the stockade!

93* THE BATTLE OF THE TOWERS

JOAN Masses Her Men to Attack the Fortress, Which for Months Has Hurled Terror and Death into the Ranks of the French.

94  In the name of God - forward!

95  Long live Joan - savior of Orleans!

96 END OF FIRST EPOCH

97 JOAN THE WOMAN

THE SECOND EPOCH

98  THE CONQUEROR

99  Wouldst thou become Queen - that thou lettest the people kneel to thee!

100 The Spoils of War.

101  If aught of harm comes to the prisoner, Eric Trent, thou shalt answer to me!

102*     AT RHEIMS

THE Traitorous Bishop Cauchon Seeks His King's Destruction to Further His Own Ambition with the English.

103  The King is here for his crowning. When England hears that we have failed to keep the crown from Charles - - thou wilt lose thy bishopric and I my head!

104  Drink not, Sire - the wine is poisoned!

105  Only thy Bishop's robes protect thee - - go thou from our presence, nor show thy face again in France!

106 After Many Victories, Joan Leads Her King to His Crowning.

107 Long live the King!

108  It is our royal pleasure to reward thee, Maid - ask what thou wilt!

109  Two things would I ask of thee, Sire: that the peasants of my village may be forever untaxed - - and freedom for the English prisoner, Eric Trent.

110  My Joan, thy father calls for thee - thy mother weeps for thee, wilt thou not return?

111  I may not return with thee, for I shall last but a year - and there is yet much to be done!

112  By the King's command - the prisoner, Eric Trent, is free!

113  Warrior Maiden - why hast thou twice saved my life?

114  If I thought thou hast saved me because thou lovest me - - no power of Saint or Devil should take thee from me!

115  Englishman, there is room in each heart but for one love - - mine is for France!

116  Englishman - our ways must lie apart. I go to Compiègne to battle - - go thou thy way and forget me!

117 The Tightening of the Web.

118  At Orleans, I saw the people kiss her robe -- and the soldiers whisper that they'll make her Queen!

119  The Maid's a witch - Sire - a witch!

120* IN the Tent of the Duke of Burgundy, Before Compiègne.

121  Our chance has come; for the Witch - with but a handful of knights - rides secretly to Compiègne.

122  Thou mayest avenge thy capture, for we have learned where the Witch Maid rides. Go forth with thy men and take her!

123  Command me if thou wilt to some other duty - but bid me not to capture the Maid!

124  Since thou art turned coward, Eric Trent, I command thee - in the name of thy English King - to capture Joan the Maid!

125 THE BLACK HORSEMAN

126  Dost thou not see the Black Horseman? I have not long, Gaspard - - I have not long!

127 DAWN BRINGS ON THE DAY - BIG WITH FATE.

128 The Ashes of Love.

129  For service to thy King in the capture of this witch, I create thee - from this day forth - Count of Diermont!

130 Thou didst betray me!

131  Rejoice, my Lord! The Devil hath been cheated - and the Witch Maid captured!

132  Go thou and pray for her soul!

133 The fire - the fire!

134 "The Gratitude of Kings."

135  For God's sake give me money to ransom Joan the Maid!

136  Dost think, Sire, to ransom a witch - who would make herself queen and reign in thy stead!

137  I am done with thy service -- nor do I longer call thee King!

138*   THE AUCTION BLOCK A Captive Warrior - Whether King, Duke or Yeoman - Was Held for a Fixed Ransom. But Joan the Maid Was Sold to the Highest Bidder.

139  I come with English gold to ransom Joan the Witch!

140  All this is useless, Sirs, for my King will ransom me!

141* WITH England Seeking Her Destruction - and Cauchon Bent Upon Revenge - Joan Is Brought to Trial for Witchcraft.

142  She's a weaver of spells -- and the people fall down and worship her!

143  Thinkest thou, with this talk of "Voices", that thou standest in God's grace?

144 If I be not in God's grace - may He bring me there. If I be - may He keep me there!

145  THE TRAVESTY OF        JUSTICE

JOAN, Without Counsel, so Baffles Her Tormentors that Cauchon - Finding it Impossible to Trap Her - Stoops to the Most Contempt- ible Trickery to Gain His End.

146  We would not harm thee, Joan - - thou hast but to sign this paper to go free!

147  This declares that thou hast rashly sinned against Holy Church - hast lied concerning thy Saints and Voices - and dost promise to return to the garb of a woman!

148* The Last Move in the Game.

149  Tonight - thou shalt place the worst ruffian of thy guard in the cell of Joan the Maid.

150  By morning this wench will have returned to men's garb. We can then pronounce her a relapsed heretic - and burn her!

151  Thou art a Priest - and should seek the salvation of this girl rather than her death!

152 The Night Guard.

153  Horses are waiting at the prison gate - make haste to follow me!

154  I did wrong to deny what I know to be right, but I signed through fear of the fire!

155 Since thou hast resumed the garb of a man I declare thee, Joan, to be a relapsed heretic - and as such thou shalt be taken to the public square at daylight - - and burned!

156  The Witch has relapsed - she will be burned at dawn - the Witch has relapsed!

157 The Long Night.

158  Oh, Lord my God - - why hast thou forsaken me!

159  Sire - dost thou know they are burning Joan the Maid!

160  Forgive me - forgive me - I knew not what I did!

161 Executioner - do thy duty!

162  My voices were of God - they have not deceived me!

163  God forgive us - we have burned a Saint!

164  Report: Enemy Trench No. 2 - destroyed.
