His questions roused their faculties, and sent a glow through their feelings; and their improvement transcended all precedent. Reports of his conversation and his achievements set others to work; and there was such an interrogation of children as was never dreamed of before. One question which Pestalozzi asked of this set of pupils is memorable. They had seen Altdorf in flames.

Ortel held the dog by the collar, silenced him, and assured his mistress that it was only another little band of troopers on their way from Altdorf to join the imperial army.

They built the village Stanz, beside the Kernwald The village Altdorf, in the vale of Reuss; Yet, ever mindful of their parent stem, The men of Schwytz, from all the stranger race, That since that time have settled in the land, Each other recognize. Their hearts still know, And beat fraternally to kindred blood. MAUER. Ay, we are all one heart, one blood, one race!

So, raising himself up in his lair, and fitting an arrow to his bow, he took deadly aim at the relentless bosom that was planning the destruction of all his family. The arrow flew as truly to the mark as that which he had shot in the market-place of Altdorf, and the tyrant Gessler fell from his horse, pierced with a mortal wound.

With hasty step death presses on, Nor grants to man a moment's stay, He falls ere half his race be run In manhood's pride is swept away! Prepared or unprepared to die, He stands before his Judge on high. A common near Altdorf. In the background to the right the keep of Uri, with the scaffold still standing, as in the third scene of the first act.

As you approach Altdorf from Flüelen, on the Lake of Lucerne, by the long white road, the first houses you reach are large structures of the conventional village type, plain, but evidently the homes of well-to-do people, and some even adorned with family coats-of-arms. In fact, this street is dedicated to the aristocracy, and formerly went by the name of the Herrengasse, the "Lane of the Lords."

FURST. Delay it longer, and the keep at Altdorf Will be complete, the governor secure. MEYER. You think but of yourselves. SACRISTAN. You are unjust! MEYER. Unjust! said you? Dares Uri taunt us so? REDING. Peace, on your oath! MEYER. If Schwytz be leagued with Uri, Why then, indeed, we must perforce be silent.

She is holding the arm of her seat with a sort of determination to sit that way and be looked at so long as she must, but her expression shows that she is thinking hard of something that she intends to do so soon as she can jump down and run away to her more interesting occupations." <b>HINMAN, LEANA MCLENNAN.</b> <b>HITZ, DORA.</b> Born at Altdorf, near Nuremberg, 1856.

Belted and plumed, and all thy bravery on! Thou art for Altdorf for the castle, boy? RUDENZ. Yes, uncle. Longer may I not delay Why in such haste? Say, are thy youthful hours Doled in such niggard measure that thou must Be chary of then to thy aged uncle? RUDENZ. I see, my presence is not needed here, I am but as a stranger in this house. Alas, thou art indeed!
