just fancy this feeling extending all
over your body and you can form an
idea of Arthur's sensations.
At last he became able to think of
what he should do next. The burglars
new had several holes drilled in the
safe. 1t would not be long before
they would put in powder. dynamite
or some other powerful explosive and
blow the door open. There was no
time to be lost.
Now" reflected Arthur. ''if l am
going to escape, it must be by way of
the cellar. | can't get out of the rear
widows without being seen, and
| opened the door. So, cellar it isp
The head of the cellar stairs was
about hallway between his position
and the burglars, and to reach it was
to run a terrible risk of discovery,
which would very probably result in
murder. Nevertheless, he had gone
too far to draw back.
Selling a moment when the three
men, with heads together, were exam
ming their work. he glided like a
flash across the floor, reached the
stairs, tiptoed down them, and, scarce
ly realizing what he had done. he
found himself at the bottom, trem-
bling all over with nervous excitement
but safe! He had neither been
heard nor seen.
Cropping along through the dense
darkness of the cellar to the further
end, he prepared to make use of the
only passage out which was open to
him-the coal hole. 1t was smutty,
| dusty place enough, for he had to pass
through the ash-bin also; and he was
obliged to be careful lest those above
should hear his movements over the
rafting coal.
Frying up the cover, and cautiously
taking an observation. he found that
the man on guard could not see that
part of the sidewalk without opening
the door, so he nimbly climbed into
the street and was free.
Sergeant Jones, of Station One, was
as much surprised. as police sergeant

The sergeant's surprise lasted only
an instant, however. Before Arthur
recovered his breath ten sturdy officers
were hurrying toward Oroide street.

GREAT GERMAN UNIVERSITIES

The war in Europe, while not COM
pletely closing Germany's Fl great
universities, has practically depopulat-
ed their class rooms and their profess
serial chairs. These institutions had,
before the war, total of more than
$4,000 matriculated students, the one
at Berlin having nearly 10000 alone.
The part played by the German uni
versities in national and international
life is described by the National Geo
graphic society in the following short
sketch:
Among the faculties of Germany's
Fl universities were scattered, at the
beginning of the war in Europe, many
of the biggest men in the world OF
learning. The German university was
a thoroughly cosmopolitan communit-
ty, all nations, all manner of customs
and all habits of thought being repre-
sented. Americans have been regis,
tered at German universities since

In the way of music there are Ciricil-

seconds more would have blown open

it out, and captured all four of the
men, who had no time to make a
serious resistance.
When the prisoners arrived at the
station they were unmasked, and Ar

a face nearly as bad as his character,
though that is saying a good deal.

Hrthur politely.
The man looked at and recognized
him, and burst into a succession OF
imprecations, indicating a lamentably
defective moral training.

kick defenseless persons, as you do
The fellow became still more wrath
full. but his companions broke in, be-
rating him for not having been smart
enough to keep one boy a prisoner
for few hours, which had the result
of effectually silencing his abuse. He
was taken away, and Arthur saw him
but once more-on the day when he
with the rest, was sentenced to long
term in the penitentiary.
Even Mr.. Ramsay could not help
being impressed by the courage and
ingenuity of the his junior clerk in
saving his property. He showed his
gratitude by handsome present, and

Benjamin Franklin's day. That great
printer-statesma philosopher is look
ed upon as the founder Of the Ameri-
can colony at Goettingen, loosely
organized student corporation with a
wealth of traditions extending over
more than 100 years.
Hundreds of young Americans at
tended the universities of Germany
each year, and the wars interruption
of the plans of this student stream
that the great struggle is forcing us
to share. The influx of American stu
dents regularly began in the early
part of April and continued through
the summer until the opening of the
autumn semester. AT such universe
ties as Berlin, Leipsic, Munich. Held
elberg and Goettingen. the student
contingent from the United States
forms a considerable body.
THE German university is an i'm
perium in imporio-a state within a
state. Upon being matriculated in
one of these universities, the student
becomes a member of an ideal repub-
lie of learning; he is responsible alone
to the heads of this republic, and they
are responsible for him to the state.
The card of membership which the
university authorities issue to him is
his passport. 1t protects him from ar
rest and from the impositions of trade
men, and establishes his identity be-
yond question before all servants of
the state. This card, also, procures
theatre and concert tickets for him at
significant price reductions. Further
more, it establishes his credit with the
local tradesmen.
From before the beginning of mod
ern times. Germany has held foremost
educational ranks. Her universities
have enjoyed international renown
since the Middle Ages, while many
of the names most prominent in the
pedagogical world are German. Today
the Fatherland is distinguished both
for diffusion of knowledge through
lall classes, a diffusion that has prac-
tically eliminated illiteracy. and for
the superiority of its specialists in the
various fields of learning.
Education in Germany costs less
than daily fare; in fact, it is regarded
by the Germans as necessary as bread
and meat. The matriculation fee at a
! German university is IL marks, about
$3.50. The lecture courses, as rule,
cost from SIPS to S., according as
there are one or four hours week.
Laboratory fees are extra, but reason
able; and the classes held by the pro-
fessors are generally gratis. Since 1918
the scales of prices have been increas-
ed somewhat for studnts from foreign
lands. but they are still more easily
borne than the university charges out
side of Germany.
There is no more genuine demo-
cracy in the world than that prevailing
in a German university community.
During his student years, the German
puts away the irksome responsibilities
and the outward conventions of caste,
and lives and chooses his friends &C
cording to his fancy. But he seldom
carries this democracy beyond his uni
versity years"

He has six or seven more to be erected soon, over which he will have supervision. The farmers in this county are interested in improving their stock and are buying better stock and prepar- ing to take good care of it. At the county fair in the fall model dipping vat was erected and demonstrations given daily. Since then all these new vats have been built all modelled after the one at the fair.
