Tho Future of Germany.

No one can prophesy the future Of
Germany But so much at least seems
clear-that it will largely depend OH the
course pursued by the socialists. Three
alternatives seem open to them-they
may indefinitely continue their present
opposition to the government, and then
they can only be source of weakness,
or they may absorb tho empire, trans
forming it into feudal state, fatal to
liberty and therefore unstable or they
may, in return for certain timely CON
cessions, place their powerful organiza-
ton at the service of the empire and DO
its chief pillar of strength
This is the contamination that every
friend of Germany and of humanity
must dcvoutly wish. 1t would bring adj
vantage to both sides and put an end to
autocracy. The empire would have to
abandon it's attempt to return to me-
dinval military dcspotism and allow its
subjects largo liberty of thought, speech
and action, whilo tho socialists would
have to abandon their notion of the state
rs II mere economic beehive and accept
1T rs tho great institution for raising
man above slavery to physical needs in
tospiritual freedom and culture. In this
way Germany might be strong without
being enslavcd, and the present condi-
ton of things, against which all
thoughtful men rebel might como to an
end. -ProfesSor Thomas Davidson in
Forum.

Mt him. Ho lodged it, ran past it, turned,
doubled on it and lodged again. a half
dozen times this was repeated, tho candle
still fiaring. 1t could not last long. Tho
bear was cnragod. Its movements became
swifter. Its vicious teeth and lips wero
covered with froth. which drippcd to the
floor and sometimes sputtcrcd Fcrrol's
clothes as he ran past
"Ferrol suddenly remembered the bro
ken bayonot upon the ledge against tho
wall. If he could reach it, there might bc
chance to strike ono blow for life AS
his eye glanced toward tho wall he suw
the steel flash in tho light of tho candle.
The bear was between him and it, Ho
made feint toward tho left, then as
quickly to the right. But, doing So he
slipped and fell. The candle dropped to
tho floor and went out. With lightning
like instinct of self preservation he swung
over upon his face just as the bear, in u
wild rush, passed over his head. Ho re-
membercd aftcrward tho otor of the hot.
rank body and the sprawlng, hugo feet
and claws Scrambling to his feet swiftly,
he ran to the wall. Fortune was with
him. His hand almost instantly clutchcd
the broken bayonet. He whipped out his
handkerchief, tore the scarf from his neck
and wound them around his hand that tho
broken bayonct should not teur tho flesh
as he fought for his life. Then, Selling
1t, ho waited for the bear to come on, his
body bent forward, his eyes straining into
the dark, his face dripping-dripping
sweat, his breath coming hard and labored
from his throat.
For minute there was absolute ST.
lence savo for tho breathing of the man
and the savage painting of tho beast Pres
emily no felt exactly where the bear was
and listened intontly. Ho knew TINT it
was now but II question of minutes, per-
hapS seconds.
Two things happened at that moment
tho sound of knocking ON door some
where and the ronring rush of the bear
upon him. Ho sprang to one side, striking
ut the beast rs no did SO. Tho bayonct
went in and out again. There came voices
from the outside. Evidently somebody was
trying to get in. The bear roarcd again
and came on. it was all n blind mans
game. Suddenly every particle of strength
had gone out of him. He shivercd and
swaycd. God! Would they never get that
window open? His heart seemed to give
leap, then slowly to roll over with n
thud, and he fell to tho floor us tho bear
lungcd forward upon him.
Nanno Castine and Mic Layilettc break
III just in time TO drive tho savage beast
from the fallen victim. and Ferrol is
nurscd back to life by Christine.
