THE THRONE OF GERMANY,

The world has looked on with deep
anxiety during the final scenes of the
old Emperor Williams life.
The tremendous power of his person
ality, so brilliantly illumined by military
renown, has left people without a clear
understanding OF the relation between
such a powerful monsrch's life and the
fate of his country,
The truth is that Germany has been
formed and ruled and directed by a policy
that was the aggregate of several great
minds, and the policy will continue.
The idea that the Emperor is freely
chosen by his constituent Princes is main
tanned, although the Constitution ex-
pressly provides that he shall be also
King of Prussia. The election Is much
like that of a British Bishop, in which
choice of the electoral body always coin
cides with the recommendation Of the
sovereign.
The electors of Germany long ago
chose Charles V. Emperor, and there is
a certain sort of politics in the German
States of choosing an Emperor. But the
hereditary King OF Prussia will have the
whole power, and will be Emperor of
Germany. The power vested in the
Crown Princes son retains the imperial
powe: in the Hohenzollern family even if
the Crown Prince had been paralyzed the
same day that his father died.

I'D "CATCH ON"

rebel spies with whom I had been put in con-
idential communication, and it flashed across
my mind IN an instant that would make some
good come of the unpleasant surroundings, and
put myselfin such position that the War De-
partment would be glad enough to acknowl-

As Miss Boyd made this observation, in her
own peculiar, positive style, her lip curIed with
scorn at the mention of Mr.. Stanton's name.
She said further, in words that have never
forgotten, because imagined it had some sig
niiCance to me:
There was something else said in an under
tone thatI could not gather; but determined
that would see the prisoner who was under
Mr. Stanton's express orders"
This was my introduction to Belle Boyd, and
to this Endorsement Of Capt. Woods and Mr..
Stanton / am probably indebted for the very
warm and kindly interest this famous female
spy afterward showed toward me.
AS remember her appearance at that time,
she was of a light, rather fair complexion, and
l think her hair was inclined to be a straw
berry blonde. While she was not strictly a
handsome woman, there was something in her
manner that was very attractive. She was
graceful, and, if remember her right, has been
accorded much praise for her winning ways
and easy bearing.
Though she was somewhat older than myself
at that time, and was the center Of attraction
among the distinguished prisoners, all of whom
seemed anxious for an opportunity to win her
favor, l tatter myself that the famous female
