In those days when tho confederated
states of Switzerland were fighting to
fiee themselves fiom Rudolph, Duke
of llnpsbutg. whoso descendants now
st on tho throne of Austilu, four can
tons, Luccino, Schwyz. Url uud Uuter
wnlden, formed the original nucleus
of the Swiss republic. Now, there
was a time when both Rudolph and
tho four cantons wero anxious to form
an alliance with Zurich.
Tho heads of the four cantons got
together and sent 11 spy to Rudolph's
court with a view to heading him off
In his negotiations with Zurich. The
name of this man was Thorwald, and
he took with him his daughter, Anna.
The two settled themselves nt ' the
base of Rudolph's castle and waited
an opportunity to make his acquaint
ance. Anna wns fond of painting and
occupied herself sketching tho Aus
trian scenery about her. One day
while she was sitting on a rock just
beneath tho base of tho duke's castle
pnintlug tho valley below Rudolph
rodo by and, beelng the maiden at
work, stopped to look nt what was on
her canvas. So pleased was ho that
ho bought her picture and gave her
orders for others. Thus did Thorwnld
through Anna gain access to the duke.
Thorwald wormed himself Into the"
coufldcncc of Rudolph, pretending that
though a Swiss by birth, he was an
Austrian in feeling. Do endeavored
to persuade tho duke to seud him on a
mission to Zurich for the purpose of
persuading tho authorities to submit
themselves to tho house of Hapsburg.
But Rudolph was too shrewd to trust
any but ono Austrian born on such an
Important mission and sent ono of his
tried ministers, Count Rnpperswlll.
Count Rnpperswlll was a soldier ns
well as n diplomat and in one of his
battles hnd lost an oye, which had
been taken out of its socket Thorwald
no sooner heard that tho count was to
go to Zurich than he began to think
how ho could cause his mission to re
sult in failure. Meeting Rnpperswlll,
he asked him why he did not wear a
glass oyo in tho empty socket Tho
count replied that be bad tried to find
an eyo that would match tho natural
one, but had failed. Thorwald told
lilm that if ho would give his daughter
Anna n glass oye and sit for her to
paint It ho would guarantee that she
would do tho work to perfection. To
this tho count gladly agreed.
The next day ho appeared at Thor
bald's lodgings with ono of tho nrtifl-
dial eves ho had discarded nd nsued
Anna ,to paint it to mutch his natural
eye. Anna did so, but was not satis
fied with her work till the count had .
given her a number of sittings. The
truth Is her father had Instructed her
to put off finishing her work till tho
cqunt was ready to set off for Zurich.
Rappcrswlll was delighted with tho
eyo us it was and begged for It but
recolved It only nt tho lust moment
Count Rnpperswlll had scarcely de
parted before Thorwald and Anna set
out in great haste for Lucerne, and
Thorwald told tho governors of the
four cantons to send an ambassador
nt once to Zurich to meet and defeat
Impossible tho one sent by tho Duke
pf JIupsburg. Thorwald could not go
himself, for ho Would, bo recognized by
Rapperswlll. So ono Thunwalder was
snt at Thorwald's suggestion, not be
cause of. his shrewdness, but because
ho possessed n very amiable counte
nance. Tho two diplomats arrived at Zurich
at tho snmo time, and a meeting was
cnllcd of tho government authorities
to hear their arguments and decide be
tween them. Rapperswlll th true
Austrian niroganco clulmcd to speak
first and Inst, and tho amlnblo Thun
walder assented.
Count Rapperswlll wns an admirable
speaker and presented his case remark
ably well. But he had uot been speu'k
lng long before his auditors noticed n
very crafty look in ono of his eyes.
This naturally prejudiced them against
him, and tho longer he spoke his
crafty eye giving a crafty interpreta
tion to overythlng ho snld tho greater
grew the prejudice.
When ho hnd finished tho opening
address and Thunwalder arose, tho
envoy of tiie confederates being a
very tnll man, the audience expect
ed to hear him bellow like a bull. In
stead, he spoke with a soft voice and
great complaisance. lie had scarcely
opened his mouth before ho won tho
entire confidence of his hearers, and
when ho sat down ho wns greeted
with a round of npplnuse.
.The Austrian ambassador, tit a loss
to know why ho was making a failure
at the hands of one who nindo no cf
fectlve argument aroso to finish with
a determination to meet Thunwnlder's
amiability In kind. LIo spoke with
frankness and a great regard for the
Swiss people and their interests.
That crafty eyo helled him. It seemed
to those who saw nnd heard his volco
that he meant the opposite of every
wotd ho spoke. When ho had finished
he was greeted with a grim silence.
Tho four cantons had won, nnd Zu
rich entered the confederation.
Thorwnld was made a baron, and
his daughter, who had put the crafty
look In the artificial eye. was present
ed with n thousand florins nnd voted
the freedom of Lucerne.
This episode in tho formation of the
Swiss confederation is not mentioned
In history, but there Is 110 historical
(reference to tho legend of William
Tell.
